How is my week? December 6, 2009

Filed under: Crazy Things, Self, Work — bluekoala35 @ 23:05

For the past 1 week of no posting is because I have been working for the past dunno how many days non stop. I will have to say that it is definitely driving me crazy. I can’t wait to get to Krabi on Wednesday!

On 5th Dec, it is international volunteers day, IVD. So for the past 2 days, my company is celebrating the efforts of the volunteers based on the special day. I have been running places to places with my boss and my temp, Ryan.

Yesterday, my company has this event with Red Cross in the morning… then I went to Yishun Ring road. Lastly, I am at Anchorvale. I presented my department initiative to Dr Lam Pin Min, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC. I am so gan cheong lor… Sighx… I felt that I did badly for it. Though nobody talks about it, I know I did it badly. :( My day ends about 8pm.

Today, I wake up at 6am to be at Jalan Kukoh for the 2nd round of IVD celebration with my partners. After which, I head towards Eunos. After that I went back at 12 plus and have to be at Eunos at 7.30pm again. Now, my legs and backs are aching so badly that I want to die liao.

Tomorrow is another day with plenty of things to do. I do not know why I always seems so busy at work but someone else like nothing to do. Sighx. I am not complaining just that I need someone to relief me abit. I can’t take it any longer if I have to do this continuously. Sometimes, maybe having to go school is not a bad thing.

2012 November 29, 2009

Filed under: Thoughts — bluekoala35 @ 16:56

I went to watch 2012. This 3 hours movie is touching and yet scary at the same time. It going to take place on 21st Dec 2012. Or 23rd.

After the movie, I ask myself what I will do if I am around during that period of time to witness such cases. Am I going to fight for my life or should I just stay put? Like President Wilson who stayed back for the commoners, that does not mean you do not care for yourself right?

Anyway, it is a good movie. I enjoy watching it. Just that it is abit lengthy. Not that they take a long time to build up the stories. In fact, is like beginning of the show got show the “doom” already. Is that it really like take 3 hours to show what happen around the world during doomsday! I find it nice though some say okay only. I do not mind watching again. Maybe I can go and buy the DVDs.

Another random post. November 27, 2009

Filed under: Friends, Thoughts — bluekoala35 @ 16:44

It has been a long long time since I rest and do my own things for the weekend. Outside is like super heavy rain and I am here doing some online shopping for Christmas present. Hmm.. I am definitely thinking what to buy and who to buy for. Initially, I wanted to do up some personalised present for my friends and colleagues but then… I realised it is not easy to do it for a big group because all these people are of different preferences. Is like I can’t buy the same things for Cheryl and Lydia.

Talking about friends. People are swarming back to Singapore. Carol, Kyrie, and Kang Wei just mention a few are coming back to Singapore for holiday. Weird when I say these because all of them are Singaporean and yet I say they coming back for Holiday. Anyway, gonna make myself super free to keep them accompany. That’s for sure.

While typing this, I received a news from someone, abit worried for her. Do not know how she is feeling. Wish that I can do something though I am not sure what I can do. Girl, take good care of yourself ah.

 

Great week behind, better weekend November 26, 2009

Filed under: Family, Work — bluekoala35 @ 23:27

After my exams, I am entirely going crazy. On Tuesday, I went to hang out with the girls. I would say sort of like together with new friends, Carol and Audrey. We went to a place that I haven’t been there since 2007/8. It has been a long long time. Haven’t had this feeling for a long time. I am looking forward to next Wednesday because we are going to another place with some of my guy friends as well to a place that I have not been for 4 years or 5 years. I am so looking forward to more fun! =) After that, I went to sleepover at Cheryl’s house.

Past 2 nights, I am having OT with Cindy. I went to have meeting with NYAA and Anchorvale CC. NOW! both of us fell sick. I had MC on Tues, yet I still go to work. For Cindy, she fell ill this morning. But both of us still came to work and even went for SSTI training. Kinda depressing.

I just come back from my family dinner. It is Aaron’s birthday. I am chatting with my aunts and uncles. My 1st aunt is having a baby. It is a girl. It is going to be due on March. I am quite excited and looking forward to see the baby. It is definitely a joyous occasion. Next year, our family is going to have house warming as well because we gotten our new house keys and we are shifting in next year, January.

My uncle tells me something which tempts me a lot. I am giving it a consideration. I shall not reveal more..

Yeah.. now is like 12midnight soon. I am going over to M’sia. OFF I GO!

Anyway.. Below, more photos… From the previous weekend.. Company event, Awards 2009 and a few of us colleagues went for the Run For Hope 2009.

Let’s see… Time of my Year.. November 22, 2009

Filed under: Crazy Things, Friends, Thoughts, Work — bluekoala35 @ 15:57

Let’s see where I last stopped.

On thursday.. I did not blog about my last paper. It is such an adventure man. I almost miss my exams. My paper starts at 4pm and I reach like 4.27pm. 3 mins before the closure of the paper. I am unlucky and lucky in a good way. I almost died of shock. I almost miss it not because I overslept or what. I left my house 3pm, my dad drove me there. We met like 6 car accidents just that day itself. No matter where we turn to, there is a car accident. It is absolutely crazy. It took me 1 and a half hour to get from Tampines to Bukit Timah.

At night, I went to Axis Bar, Oriental Hotel with Cheryl and Donavan. We were chilling out and chatting. I am helping Donavan with his resume. He wanted to interview to be a air steward. So cool..

Friday, I went back to work already. I am feeling so bored… It is not because I have nothing to do. It is because I am in no mood to work, PLUS I am down with bad sore throat, body aches and cough. So it makes my mood worse. I can’t wait to go home that day.

Yesterday, I went to company event, Awards 2009. We need to be there like 8am and only home at about 3pm. All of us were there, mostly. We were given tasks by Chong Beng. Cindy and I were in charge of lunch. Abit slack and easy job, I would say. I will love to do something more as usual for me. Cindy, Grace, Shuxian, Amy and myself were like chatting throughout the lunch, doing quite silly things. Chatting through all kind of topics and subjects. We took a group photo, will post up when I have them.

This morning, a group of us went for the charity run called, Run For Hope 2009. There is like Cindy, Charlene, Shuxian, Delphine and myself. I was down with flu, cough and fever these few days. Weird is that those kind of fever that have it at night. Last night, I slept with a fever, woke up this morning, my fever disappear but I was like vomitted twice. Seriously, I do not know what happen to me. I only know my body was aching and in pain. =(

Anyway, after my exams already. I am enjoying myself by arranging to meet up with friends to chill and gather. I love this kind of feelings. More to come as there are plenty of events lining up.. Being in NVPC or with other friends.

*I will post my photos of yesterday and today when my colleagues sent to me.

Some thoughts:

Being in NVPC, is like being in a love-hate relationship. Love because, I enjoy the company of my colleagues around me. Some of them is more than just a colleague. I enjoy every moment being with them, chatting, talking, joking, lunching and working together. Even though working there can be a challenge to me as I am exposed to alot of new things. Get to learn from boss and people around me. I truly love this. Hate because, working there can be quite tiring as sometimes, it reaches a stage where I do not know what my boss want and maybe ask too much of me and my colleagues too. Shall not talk too much about that.

Anyway, I am glad and appreciative of all these people. They make a difference in my life.

 

Last paper to go November 17, 2009

Filed under: Self, Study — bluekoala35 @ 22:32

I just finish my 2nd last paper today. I am so glad that I have my last paper to go on Thursday. In fact, I think I am abit too relax now. I am not really in a mood to study for my exams though. Kang Wei and Jie Lin told me that I should chiong all the way now since last paper already. I guess I have to. Do the last paper swee swee, then I can go and enjoy liao.

After my paper on Thursday, I am going to Oriental Hotel to chill with Cheryl, Mel, Alvin and a few other friends. Apparently, Alvin and I finishes our last paper on Thursday too. So we are so going to enjoy yourself even though we have work the next day. I am thinking is it wise to go back to work so fast. (Cindy, pls dun kill me) Anyway, just talking about it, I am all excited to hang out with friends. One not so good news is straight after paper, I am going back to office before I head down to meet them because we have VL networking session at office and I want to go down and take a look and also join in the fun.

This evening, while I am preparing my notes for the last paper. My korea item arrives, I got all excited that I literally lock myself inside the room for almost an hour before I am willing to step out of my room. I am so excited and love the things I bought from Korea. So cutesy. Haha. My brother is so mad at me because we are supposed to go for dinner together. Anyway…

After dinner, I went Starbucks with my brother so we were like taking photos and playing. For him, he drinks because Cambodia, he will not get to drink. For me, I drink because I need to destress. He is going to Cambodia like in 6 hours time. Take a look what photo we took.

For the first time at Starbucks, I did not order my Mocha or Chocolate drink. I ordered Green Tea Latte. Thanks to someone intro. I scared I can’t sleep so I give my mocha a miss. My bro tried and he does not like it. So I come to a conclusion that only female like the drink, not male.

Anyway, last good news for the day. Kang Wei decided to come back. I guess he will be so busy meeting up with everybody around. 1 month will seems so long yet so short.

 

A day at work during exams… November 14, 2009

Filed under: Thoughts, Work — bluekoala35 @ 10:53

2 papers down.. Yeah… I have like 2 more papers before I officially finishes my exams. I really can’t wait for it to happen.

Yesterday, I went back to office. I saw my colleagues inside the room. All of us were like waiting for the training to start so we were chatting lahx. They were joking about me because after 4 days of leave, I came back to office with a t shirt with my name on it. They were saying I am afraid that people forget my name etc. They also ask me about my exams. Thank you everybody for the concerns.

Hmm… I went to attend training for CSR. I roughly have a better idea about it. Hopefully, it will help in my exams on Tuesday. After the training, both Cindy and I gather people around to go to Bak Kut Teh for lunch. So we went with Jocelyn, Grace and Jenny.

We went to Bras Basah straight after lunch. We went to Art Friend to get the board, some construction paper, double sided tape and masking tape. Then, we lobo abit. We walk to Bugis. Oh ya… It was raining so heavily that Cindy was like screaming while we cross the road. I seriously can faint. To prevent further screaming, I give her more shelter compared to myself. So it was like 1/2 of me were wet. Haha…

We went to Kinokuniya to get something for Grace. And I personally come across a magazine about travelling. I straight away bought it without hesitation. BUT… the magazine is not with me. It is with Cindy. Since I will not be free to read it first, I pass it to her to read it. I will get it back after my exams. After that, we went to J Co to have the ice chocolate, eugene will be so jealous. Haha…

We quickly head back to office to do up the photo collage for Sunday’s event. Seriously, it sucks. I do not like what I have done though I like the word, “activities” in it. Haha… Anyway..

When I go and pass Grace the magazine, I also went to sign my employment letter. So I am officially a full time staff of NVPC and I have a job. I know this sound weird but I am. Not only that, I also supercede the probation and got confirmation.

Before Jenny left, she came to our table and chat with us. She was discussing the different project that we have on hand. Which one should wait, which one should carry on etc. So as planned and knowing what we want, we managed to convince Jenny to hold the idea for the VK ideas competition. Cindy could not believe her ears and kept asking me did she hear wrongly. I myself can’t believe it too. It for real. It is a good thing because we will not stretch ourselves thin.

The day ended at around 7.30pm.

We cleared the work for tomorrow. Hopefully things will go on WELL.

Well, yesterday was like 13 Nov Friday.. I am so scared because it is a black friday. I abit supertitious. So I told my colleagues jokingly that I want to avoid like everything if not bad luck. Haha.. But it turns out everything went on well and in fact better than I thought.
