satisfied
A few days ago I was just 'complaining' that I had finished my work too fast and found myself idling away, maintaining a facade of a hardworking auditor.And today, my manager came down, with MORE coaching notes (sth like coaching points to improve on your work), BUT I was happy that I finally had substantial stuff to occupy myself.
I felt a satisfaction at the end of the day, when i managed to complete most of the things that I should do, and the manager commented I had a high level of quality in my work. *pleased*
He's really one of the nicest managers I've come across so far, willing to guide and very hands-on.
He even asked if I'm interested in working on bank audits coz if I want to specialise, he can help me with that. :D
And the day ended off with a nice cosy dinner with MB at Canele @ Raffles City. Too much cream for the Carbonara but their Chocolate Gateaux is ALWAYS zee best. *yummy*
Time to feed the zzz monster.
Out.

aching Sunday
MB and I, together with MB's friend, Shawn, went for a 1-day indoor rock climbing course at The Civil Service Club near Farrer Park mrt.
The day started at 10am, with introductory to rock climbing (technically speaking, our activity for the day was sport climbing), learnt the various types of mountaineering (did you know France was the first country that started this?) and types of ropes, knots and equipment gear.
After which, we tried our hands at the actual climbing wall before we break for lunch.
After lunch, we started with the actual climb. It wasn't easy being the one who was belaying (that is the one supporting the climber) and of course, the climber. I only managed to climb half the wall before my arms gave way and I had to come down.
Must've been the lack of exercise and sleep :/
Shawn and MB had alot of fun, trying out different types of path and I also saw some kids scaling the heights like monkeys! Envy sia, I wished I had such light weight! :P
I think my arms will ache like mad tomorrow *yikes*
Shall try again next time, when there's lesser crowd. Not so malu also.. hahahah :D

P.S I Love You
Sometimes, you just need a movie that moves your heart, flick off that little sensitivity button inside you and a show that just makes you want to tear.
This movie did just that.
I was kinda feeling moody (must be all the hormones kicking in, and of course, work :/) and this show kind of helped me to let off some emotions that I've been cooping inside, which I can't find out the reason why.
I have, many times, thought of how I will deal with the situation where my loved ones leaving me forever, but all I can think of is the grieve that I'd be experiencing.
Time will heal all wounds, life continues, but how long will all this transition take?
Her husband never wanted to leave her so soon at his prime, but he had to. He knew she will be grieving over his loss, and so made plans for her after his death to slowly come out of it.
I teared at several occasions, not because I felt sad, but because I can feel the intensity of the love between the both of them. Was wondering to myself, if ever one day, I was to leave my loved ones behind, I would want them to be happy and moved on with life too. Memories cannot be taken away, and I will probably want them to remember me this way.
Sometimes I feel I'm so small and a nobody. Whenever I feel sad or discouraged, it's like all the problems became so big that I can't seem to breathe properly. But then to think again, I'm just being a worry-wart, because obviously, there are better thing out there which is worth more of my energy to think about.
I think alot these days (must be the hormones again :/). Weird, emotional kind of thoughts that are entering my mind. I think about myself, my life, what I want to do, what I wish I had.... And then, I find myself clueless at all the questions. And in the end, I'm tired and I sleep.
I guess I should be thankful. Thankful to Him and people who love me dearly.
I just want to say, even if I dun say it out, I can still feel all the love and care and I'm grateful for each day because I know there's always something or someone that I can fall back on.
Thank you. And I love YOU. and you :)

Happy Lunar New Year!
It's the Year of the Rat!!! (sorry, i'm like 2 days late? :P)
Well, i didn't have much excitement this time, prolly coz of the work load prior to CNY :(
But oh well, I only started to feel a wee bit eager to usher in the new year on the eve when i finally left the office *phew*
CNY eve was our usual family steamboat dinner, which Mummy prepared just enough food for all 5 of us (incld Gor's gf).
And after which, we went to $10 KTV Club at Smith Street for karaoke!!!!
I dun quite remember me singing with my family, but my mum said she heard me sing before (prolly in the bathroom or in my sleep? :D).
It was a pretty cosy place, no smoke, not so much of a rowdy crowd, and there's free flow of drinks for S$12++! It has got to be the cheapest KTV I've ever gone to, now is my #1 choice!!!! :P

My dearest Mummy and Daddy singing KTV!!! :PIt was a night of 80s and 90s rewind plus the usual oldies of Theresa Teng and Cai Qing (which I can all sing too! *sheesh :P). Gor and his gf sang pretty well too, altho halfway thru he broke up into hiccups which got us into fits :D
The night ended with a Jackie Cheung number and we went off to Thomson for prata, which wasn't too my liking for the texture. :/
On the actual day, I visited MB's aunt with them and treated myself to lotsa nice home-cooked food and then it was back to my house for MORE! I really felt like a pig but all the food was really nice.
Downside of it, there were too many different groups of people talking, playing soccer table and watching tv all at once. I couldn't take the noise and hid inside my room :P Owells, it's an annual affair, I'm glad everyone got to meet up with every other ppl. hehs :)
Oh, one alarming news I got was that my Daddy finished 1kg of bak gua by HIMSELF!!!! *faints and rolls on the floor* I only managed to eat 3 small pieces when it was first bought, and before I knew it, it's GONE. =_=
Come to think of it, Daddy saved me from putting that extra kilo!!! *hohohoho* :D:D:D
alrites, time to go visiting again! Happy New Year to all!!!
P/S: I'm 24 this year already.......boooooooo :/:/:/

thank God for the weekend
it has been a stressful week and a lot of work-related issues were really occupying my mind until they were almost to the point of exploding out.
Thankfully, i have the Run-mates to zip it out for a nice late dinner on Fri nite, over Japanese curry and 1 round of hot sake and loads of lame jokes from the unusual Daniel. Desserts at Liang Seah Street was a good end to that night, and I find myself sound asleep until the next morning.
Saturday was spent shopping with Theresa (which she gotten herself new bedsheets and quilt cover set for the new year) and after that meeting MB for movie and dinner. :)

We watched 27 Dresses and I think although the plot was kinda predictable, it was kinda nice and romantic and I absolutely love Katherine Hiegl! She's like Julia Roberts-ish with the hair of Reese Witherspoon and some goofyness of Renee Zellweger. And James Marsden is so cute without those shades in X-Men! hahah :P
We went church next morning and met Serene for breakfast too! It was nice to meet up with my fellow sister-in-Christ and I also had a revelation during service today, which I desperately needed it to face the reality at work :/
Thank God, he showed me His words. Somehow, amazingly, whenever I decide to attend Sunday service, I always get to hear about His words that are so apt in my life at that moment in time. I guess it's His way of telling me what He has planned for me. :)
And then it was our baking session at Andrea's house! Had so much fun doing up the cookie dough and cutting it. Theresa, Andrea and I were like some factory workers, mass producing the cookies, while our dear hOi, took her own sweet time, cutting out diff shapes and alphabets because she's the 'creative director' *faintz*
anyhoos, it was a fun time baking with the girls and I missed them! It's really fun hanging out with girls, which the guys just dun understand! hahahah
It's gonna be a short week and I totally can't wait for CNY to come!
2.5more days, hang in there!! Have FAITH! :D:D
