When my boss is not around..

since he's not around, i shall do a little blogging since i havent been updating my blog. work life has been pretty boring so far. i'm constantly trying to make my life more interesting and fufiling by injecting more fun elements into it.

teaching tuition, going for combat deals, meeting friends are some of the little fun things that i have. recently got back from diving trip from tioman! got my advance diving qualification! i'm able to dive up to 30m. whee! night dive wasn't that scary that i thought it would be. think about 1 month ago, i went to petaling jaya for the long weekend. drove down the north-south highway at a whooping speed of 160++km/h is madness. shopping and eating at PJ was very fun as well. especially the tim sum i had in PJ..it's shiok! did a half marathon like 2 weeks back.. so life is pretty exciting week after week.

the next upcoming big thing will be my australia trip! just booked my tickets to australia to visit ck. really excited over it. i will be visiting cairns,melbourne, sydney and brisbane. hopefully it wouldn't be that tiring. it'll be a flying and driving trip.

next up, i'm going to list the stuff that i want to buy in a month's time. i was reading readers' digest, in order to not give in to impluse purchase, you should list down the items that you intent to get. look at the list in a month's time and you may realised that you don't need the item anymore. okay, so here i am listing the stuff that i wanna buy.

1) camera + underwater casing (lost my camera, dumb me)
2) 60L bagpack (just want the orange tatonka that i was eyeing for!)
3) running shoes (my less than 1 month old shoe was stolen!)
4) slippers (for office use, even though i have 2 pairs of it already)
5) dye hair (hair condition is getting better so possible to dye it!)
6) mp3 player (time for a change!)
7) swim suit
8) body balm (love the smell!)

seems like i've got lots to buy.. can't wait for my birthday!

feeling weird to be talking to 2 guys tonight

Now, here am I very bored at my place. There’s basically nothing for me to do except read read and read more. 1.5 months into the job and idling around. I can’t imagine myself working for the next 1.5 year. It’s a pretty desk-bounded job. Definitely for closer friends of mine will know that this isn’t the kindda job I’m looking for. I wanna basked out in the sun with my helmet..Get hot and sweaty..Mix around with foreign labourers. Writing design reports all day long isn’t what I’m looking for.
Day after day, I’m trying to convince myself that I’m learning something new everyday. However, everyday in the office seems to be a chore. Lacking in job satisfaction and challenge is bad…bringing my motivation level down each day.
I seriously wonder how long can I sustain this one..
Another, more noteworthy point is that I’ve signed up as a volunteer with a rather special organization. Hope I’ll get it! At least there’s something interesting for me to look forward to after the end of each day.

havent been blogging for quite awhile. i have started on a new chapter in my life..the working phase of life. student am i no more... so i've decided to note down notable events of my daily life. hopefully i'll perserve and keep on blogging for keepsake memories.

i realized that i haven't been blogging that often on my new blog. i guess coz i'm just too acquaintaned with my old blog and leaving it seemed impossible. oh dear...i'm having feelings for an inanimate object. meanwhile, i think i shall be more proactive and update my blog more regularly.

my boyfriend is like Kia

k. I’m not trying to promote KIA cars here but it’s sort of a comparison of my boyfriend to KIA.
as you know my boyfriend is pretty much a car lover and a huge fan of Mercedes. he could go on and on to rave about the amazing gadgets that Mercedes have. something like the air cons, the leg space..sometimes i get so jealous that i think he loves Mercedes more than me. i onced questioned him to choose between driving in germany’s autobahn and driving a mercedes in singapore. guess what..he chose the latter.
i used to have this perception that korean cars are very much inferior compared to european cars. it’s like korean cars’ quality are just next to china’s production. however, travelling more on a Kia has definitely changed my perception of Kia cars. k, this post is with regards to Kia’s cerato. it has a continental car design and i love the electronic car control system. plus it’s 2L engine is reasonable for singapore roads and i love it’s light steering wheel. it’s like over expectations of a typical korean cars.
to why my boyfriend is a resemblance of Kia, i’ve got this silly analogy. most girls will typical choose a mercedes as their partners. coz they have the money and nice exterior look. more importantly, it’s the branding and status that mercedes carries with them. but i chose a Kia because of it’s economical value and similar quality that it has to a mercedes. what it maybe lacks is it’s branding.
and if you read through straitstimes car of the year 2009, the Kia cerato forte is ranked at 3rd! just a level below the expensive e-class. it’s a no-brainer for e-class to be in the ranking, but for a Kia to be in this ranking means something right?
driving my kia which has a strong engine, continental car design and good steering wheels priced much lower without forgoing on quality. it is why i like him. =)

what am i up to?

oh dear, i haven’t been updating. i guess coz i can’t think of anything interesting to post up. so the big question, what have i been doing?
well…basically school has started and i’m only taking 2 modules plus my slack FYP. you can imagine how free my timetable will be. since i currently only have 2 tuition kid which only takes up my time during the evenings. my day times are basically very free..leaving me with nothing to do. hence, this calls for a job. yeah..recently gotten myself a part time job teaching IT. yes yes..technology. basically robotics, things which i’ve got some experience in but not very good at it though.
so life now revolves around, robotics work, combat, tuition, school and not forgetting my dear. =)

fire rabbit in tiger year

was walking around popular and browse through the predictions of my chinese zodiac for the upcoming tiger year. seems like all is well for the fire rabbit me! initially, i just skimmed through the book to know my outlook for the year. as i read more, i realised that the book’s explanation for the ox year was so true for me. read through more and saw more happy stuff… such as rabbit is compatible with the rat. reading stuff that makes you happy and delighted do make you want to continue to read more.
people are usually like that..read stuff to please themselves. it isn’t a bad thing afterall..whether all these predictions will come true or not. it provides you with a glimpse of hope and a tinge of happiness. moreover, i’m the sort of person whose quite ban tang and gets paranoid over bad luck omen, reading through good outlook for the year ahead sure brightens me up.
i’ve read my predictions for the year, have you read yours?

random poem at night

suddenly thought of this in the middle of the night…
studying is like shitting. you feel so constipated and disgusted.
after you’re done shitting, you graduate and get your toilet paper.
the toilet paper is used to cover your ass..
dang..things that i think at night!

new year's resolution

was looking through the list of resolution that i set for last year… i guess i sort of modified my resolution however achieving the same result. as for this year, with my last semester in school and in turn moving onto the real society will mean alot to me.
simple resolutions for the year
lose weight – i’ve been tipping off the scale by alot eversince i’ve returned back from europe. singapore food isn’t helping at all when it’s much cheaper and more yummy!
improve my cap – thankfully i did good enough for last semester and this semester will mean to maintain it so that my toilet paper looks decent enough to cover my ass
get a decent enough job – kay. this explains much of my great reluctance to enter into the work society. i don’t aspire to get a job that pays good remuneration and having a good reputation. all i need is a job with prospects and lots of training…being a greenhorn into the workforce i need lots of ammunition to survive in the rat race so when i’m armed with more skills, i’m able to better protect myself. haha..sound like i’m out for war. but i’ve heard enough of office politics and hopefully i’ll be able to handle all these nonsense.
travel to a new destination - still contemplating plans for my graduation trip. seeking for khaki to travel and destination to go too. longing to escape from my sheltered home to seek for adventure!
happiness to all my friends and including myself - may all the singles find their true one and all couples last..simply put ‘never allow sadness to haunt you and happiness to follow you’
i’ve make my new year’s resolution, have you made yours?

happy new year and i've shifted blog! to those who want to continue to peek into my inner life. do ask me personally for my new blog address!

a year has past by and what have you done over this year?

i recall whatever i've done this year through my notebook. my notebook which notes down the activities i do and places i've gone to. the tattered and torn book has been through thick and thin with me this year. be it good times or bad times. this year indeed has been a fruitful travelling year whereby i spent 68 days holidaying. when i mean holidaying implies going overseas from eindhoven/singapore and relaxing to have fun. this is a substantial number i supposed.

sep experience...

being away from home does help me put things back in perspective. being away from home made my life much easier..and with the beauty of foreign land get rids of the boredom that i always lament back in singapore. more importantly, i've learnt to take things on stride and do things on my own. not that i'm not independent but i'm more open and daring to just dive into something without much hesitation.

project life in school..

this semester has been so different such that there's a great reduction in examination and increase amount in project work. i've had my fair share of capable and redundant groupmates. the difference in which my grades are assess made me to change the way and style i do things. thankfully everything went well eventually and i'm glad i made through it

working...

i decreased my working load as there's no need for me to earn that much money. this time round, i work for passion and enjoyment rather than for a living. moreover, i've got an increasing job which enables me to know more youngsters. so i guess working isnt a chore afterall but rather a past time for me.

there's much of ups and downs in this year and overall i guess i had a smooth year for me. be it in studying, working or personal relationship life...as i've been mentioning this on various post. i'm a happy girl and truely is... so i guess my main new years resolution will be to have a happier new year!

picking up yourself...

when trouble strikes you, what do you do? avoid it? face it? indulge in endless work so you can forget about the issue and living in self denial. especially so when it comes to matters in heart, you can never stop thinking about it. whereby habits are changed and lifestyle are so different. i think i've come to a solution to it already...

love yourself and treat yourself better. i know whatever i've typed above seems abit incoherent but don't worry. i'm alright. in fact, i think i'm picking myself up day by day and life has improved in leaps.

once again, back from more playing. did a bit of shopping and watching loads of movies...seems like fyp was never on my list. more fun coming ahead...i'm pretty amazed with the amount of energy i have when it comes to playing! p/s: to people from hungary, germany and california. happy hoiidays and did you receive my card???

had too much alcohol le. my liver going to spoil... back from batam and JC class christmas gathering. had loads of fun and looking forward too more! will upload photos soon!meanwhile, merry christmas to all!

photos from kayaking expedition. kayaked from pasir ris to changi.

busy holiday constantly playing...

will upload more photos soon. photos from primary school gathering, odac gathering, grandma's birthday..gathering gathering... non-stop.

p/s: everyone should watch avatar! it's nice...

recently there has been lots of reports regarding to wood's infidelity. that made me thinking whether i'll be able to forgive my spouse over such an dishonest act. i guess when there're kids involved in the marriage, things may be more complicated as the problem spills over to the upbringing of the kid. but what about when there's no children involved? i think i'll be able to forgive him as long as he still likes me and he considers the rest as flings. then again, the act of being dishonest is daunting. not to forget the amount of time we've spent together as a couple, i'm sure i don't want all of these to go to waste. it's never easy to find the eventual "one" for you...why give up something so hard to come by? i'm sure if both parties are willing to go through this difficulty together, their relationship will be brought up to another level and be stronger.

kay...i may be giving this stand of "i'm able to forgive you even you betrayed me". however, things may not be that easy when this applies to myself. this is nothing something trivial and can be got over that easily.. hmm..hmm..

p/s: don't read so much into this post. it's just something random out of my mind. i'm posting entries more often so i can practise my english writing skills, even though they aren't very brillant. ah..this explains why i need to write you see!

helloo guys. sorry that i havent been posting any prpper updates. i guessed i've been busy with playing (especially mahjong) anyway, i promised to do this crazy crow in da house post. below are the peektures from my handphone. havent been taking much photographs lately.

k box with odac people
my sis and i drinking milo trying to calm ourselves and hiding @ the kitchen

see the long feather!
big big crow...

i've been going for various gatherings. working combat (outdoor laser quest) and giving tuition... and trying to do my fyp. so i guess life has been busy and fulfilling. i'm a happy girl! =)

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To the one, to the one.

i guess when forgetting the past memories are near impossible, what you can do is fill them up with current happier events..so much so that these happy memories overflow..then you'll realised that those sadder past memories are so distanced.

i want you to help me fill up my happy memory bank..

*me humming to a song...*

i've got peace like a river..

i've got joy overflowing...

i've got life everlasting...
