Mon Paris 36 cd est ENFIN ici ! ! Super looking forward to it. I checked my mailbox today, only to remember that today's a public holiday, post doesn't work. Samedi (Saturday), I will get you! Hahaha..
I'm likely to be seconded to the audit department for 5 months. Starting on 7 Dec! My auditor friends will know, that thats the start of the peak of their working life, snowballing into a maelstrom for a couple of months, before slowly easing off. So yes, I will be jumping from one peak in tax, to another in audit. Slightly morbidly so, I am QUITE excited. I guess its an impending challenge, dealing with long hours of work, and less sleep. Dear yy has got to take the cake for her allotment of stocktake date. (I don't want the icing!) haha.. She's got stock take, that starts at 11 plus pm, on 31 December 2009, and goes past midnight. Happy new year man. I tried to alleviate the situation, saying something about team bonding, working in such condition with her colleagues. She said, she'll be working alone. Ohmygoodness. Thank goodness her bf will be around the area to accompany her, and spend new year and new year's eve with her! Side note-ly, I feel a bit worried about the impending lack of sleep, I really am bad at sleeping so little, just tax is enough to take its toll on me (see eye rings). sad. But owells, I am sure can do it!
I have been doing OT everyday this week, but Monday. So sleepy!
But happily, I am going to eat steamboat in awhile!!! Steamboat takes away ALL headaches, tiredness, and erm, anything and everything mal (bad)!
I'm going to enrol in an Alliance Francaise class tomorrow!

I AM DAMN BLUR LA I LEFT MY HANDPHONE AT WORK.
I stapled my finger very slightly, staining the back of a company's signed annual report with blood.
I FELL DOWN NEAR THE OFFICE.
klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.klutz.
(Thank God this company gave us two sets of signed annual reports. But even if not, that last page was just like a cover end page, not terribly important, just not as presentable.)

Updates updated update. I feel totally okay already. Felt better writing it out.
I am so happy for him! Wahahaha... Oh. The girl's quite pretty. Haha...

GAH....................
Why did I have to find out this way?
To go to his facebook, to see how is he doing, yes I got the answer.
I never thought for a moment that he would be with someone else.
He looks so happy. He looks the way he did when it was me in those arms, those pictures. Slightly disillusory, I think he might have looked happier when he was with me. What am I thinking????
Oh... I am definitely happy for him that he found someone he liked as much. Coz things ended sadly for us. I guess I was the only one living in that shadow of us all this while. I know I have gotten over him already. But seeing him with this new person when I was not expecting it, just brings forth a rush of memories of us. I hate crying, I really do. Its damn weak. To show my vulnerable side.
I wish them happiness, always.
Please don't let me see them together before me.

The face looks SO serious la!! But his music is awesome.
Nice music makes me really elated, I feel like I am standing on a high hill with winds blowing at me.
I want to go to a concert with a fantastic orchestra playing the masterpieces!

OH man.... My spree for paris 36's cd got cancelled. Awesomely sad! Hahaha, randomly reminds me of Jon saying that 'awesomely' and 'tired' doesn't go together, as they are contradictory. Cannot say awesomely tired meh... Haha! I neeeeeeeeed my paris 36 cd. Really. The songs are still in my head.
And I just realised how nice Swatch watches are!
Choice 1) http://www.swatch.com/zz_en/watches/fw20
-- love this watch --
Choice 2) http://www.swatch.com/zz_en/watches/fw20
--quite like this watch too!--
Aiya... Why are the watches so cher (expensive)! Haha.. I sweetly asked Daddy, hypothetically, is $63.20 too expensive for a plastic strap watch. He merely grinned. Hee hee, which hypothetically, means he won't nag even if I get it! Love! =D
Life is happy.
I did the women10k run yesterday! It was awesome. There's this really heartwarming feeling of running the whole race beside people u know, their presence there strongly encouraging u. Along the race, there were a few times that I felt like walking, but I didn't. I said, "To God be the Glory" a few times. Haha, its really encouraging. Coz I'm are running for God, and my strength is from him! Hahahaha, I think I sound like one of those Christian people who keep going on and on about God. Hee... I used to find some of these people really pretentious. Now I know. We are just happy to know Christ and relish the strength he has given us.
Should I get the swatch watch?

Whee!
Whee!
The jealousy monster is terrifying. It strikes you unexpectedly, and refuses to go away. It tears at you, and eats at the goodness in you. You say things that might be hurtful, the words are out even before you can stop it. Jealousy is an emotion that is hard to control. I am glad I have a God who I can confide all my worries in. Who miraculously, eases the jealousy, and helps me to see past that jealousy. I am thankful and grateful.
Admitting jealousy is hard, its an emotion that shows one's lack of security. I just wanted to write down how miraculously the jealousy ebbed away as I prayed to be not jealous. Thank you Lord. Amen.
This is Baby, Koko Baby!
She's a toy poodle, and is sooooooo lovely!
She was the star of the day. Location: Deepavali at Sushma's house!
Hahaha.. Sushma was so sweet to prepare all the food for us, yummy long rice, chick peas, curry potatoes, veggies. All vegetarian anyway.
This is Eugene! Baby is his. Hahahha... Midway through the day, he said, "Eh, the dog comes with the owner okay.". Coz everyone had their attention on Baby! Eugene's jealous of Baby! Heex!
Hugs <3<3
Some of us went cycling and blading at ECP after that! Darn fun. I really really like cycling and rollerblading! The guy on my left, he's Edwin. My department's senior manager. Hahaha.. damnnnn cool of him to join us!
Along the way, two guys on blades bladed past us. Both of them fell really badly just after they passed us. Goodness. It was a really bad fall! The second guy to fall, actually seemed suspended in air for a second before landing on his butt. Darn poor thing!!!
Sush in her pretty sari! She's really pretty!! Her origins are in South India. But she's not really dark. She had a friend, Nadia, there, who hails from North India, where the girls are really fair. Nadia's fairer than me!!
FYI. All of them were staring at Baby.
Baby is a popular kid!
I watched Paris 36 at the Cathay with Ting yesterday!
I really like the show alot.
I love the songs, the cinematography, the acting. I love the vibrant colours, I love that the French sounded so nice, smooth, and not some frantic gibbering (hahaha, i completely don't understand fast french). Je veux voir ce film encore. Really, the songs are so nice. They are by Reinhardt Wagner anyway.
Haha.. Ting and I were soooo random! I called her after work on Friday to ask her about something, and I met a very enthusiastic weiting, so we went out! Haha.. We were actually both exhausted from a week's work, but duper happy that it was the end of the week, planning to rest and relax and pamper ourselves and ya... Love going out with Ting! Haha... And I... Actually brought home the income tax act. No kidding. workie workie. I found the section of the act I was looking for on the train ride home yesterday, so I don't have to read over the on Sunday! Great!
Update
U can listen to excerpts of the songs here! http://music.barnesandnoble.com/Paris-36/e/6
Recruitment fair
I was part of the pwc team at the recruitment fair last Thursday at NTU. I didn't take much pictures though! There were azleen, teck chin, kian lun, yusi and xinling from my batch of people. It was a tiring event. Haha.. Had back pains after about 2 hours of standing in heels. Met jianwei, irene, eng sim and his friend, and quite a few others. Met ying ying, who's in kpmg now. Wow. She's seriously super friendly. Hahahaha.. She was practically holding my hands and bringing me to the buffet corner to get some mange mange. And I hardly know her. Haha.. It was weird! But cool. Hahah.. The people from pwc were in black suits and coloured top for the girls, plain white tops and coloured ties for the guys.
Deloitte was really, hmm.. different this year.
Yup, they departed from the usual practice of suits and ties, for track suits this year. Haha.. I met Guoxiang and Derek at the event too! Guoxiang is super funny really... Haha...
EY wore pretty much the same as us, KPMG wore blue polo tees and black bottoms.
Oh! Apparently the Big 4 companies have designated colours! EY's yellow, KPMG's blue. Not sure about deloitte and pwc..
Coaching Group outing
Pwc has this coaching group system. Oh, which reminds me of how tongue tied I get when I was sharing attributes of pwc to people I know. I was very comfortable sharing with strangers. But tian ah, when I saw eng sim, I was soooo tongue tied. I could speak so much more fluently to his friend! Thank goodness there was yusi with me all the time, so we could take turns talking, n will feel more confident. I think its this thing about talking to your friends, they have never seen this side of you, the professional working adult side, so it feels really weird to show them that image. Hee hee.. We went out on a coaching group outing last Wednesday. So many nights out, hence the understandable exhaustion by Friday.
........to be continued when I'm back from the wedding! Whee! .................
And he came back with yummy books!! Yay!!! Daddy says that the books at Nepal's airport is so much cheaper. Haha.. I'm especially glad about the Dan Brown book. =D Pop knows me well.
Haha... My arm looks hell skinny here!!!!! Hahahahha... That hot pink shirt is the shirt we are wearing for the percussions performance for PwC fiesta day. Hot pink!
<<Pretty nail polish that chien and I bought from Stage!>>
I went prawning yesterday with Xinling and her church friends, teck chin and his cousin and wenyayayaya!
And I caught a huge prawn!!! Hee hee hee!!!!!
<< moi, wen ya, xinling, teck chin>>
Hee hee ting!!! Thats teck chin for you! Haha...
<<Some of xinling's church friends prawning! >>
Teck Chin's cuzzie removing the hook from the prawn.
I find it really gut turning to see people skewer the prawns that were still wriggling, with satay sticks. In and out their writhing bodies. I couldn't do it. Seeing the still wriggling prawns on the bbq pit was the max. YUCKS.
How do people do that????
Side note, ting and I once talked about fishing. She finds fishing a tremendously cruel thing to do, when people fish, not for their livelihood, but as a sport. Ie: They throw the fish they catch back into the sea. To her, keeping the fish they caught (eating it!) is much more humane, as the fish becomes a form of sustenance, rather than fishing as a sport.
The reason why fishermen throw the fish back is so that they can preserve the fish count in the river, ensure that the ecological system and population growth of the fishes are not affected. It is not a must for them to do so in many cases, but they still do it. They do it to ensure that their entertainment does not affect mother earth.
It definitely hurts the fish when we catch it with our hook. Between pain and death, would you choose the latter? (Of course lets not go into the area of extreme pain, where death might really be a better alternative).
I honestly feel that fishing definitely causes harm to the fish, and fishermen have their entertainment and the expense of the fishes. Eating it is just as bad. If one really feels strongly against fishing, might as well be a vegetarian! On the other hand, I think I see where ting comes from, that it is a cruel thing to do, and (I guess she means) that we shouldn't do it as a sport, but only for our sustenance. Like you know, its a necessary evil. Two sides of the coin. What are most people's stance on it?

Okay, shall continue with my prawning post! My the uploading photo function is going kronky one me. This photo and the above photo weren't the photos I chose to upload actually, just from the same album. But ahhh never mind.. crabbies.. I'll continue to upload when I'm free!
I look so kalypso kookie nonsense crabbie looking. TIAN. But anyway, the point of the photo was nice and good. The two of us caught the BIGGEST prawns in our net!!!! Yay!!! Haha.. And the prawns really looked like couple prawns. If you could notice in the picture, my left hand held the awesome huge blue pricky pincers of the prawn I caught. SOME GUY who assisted me in removing the hook, tried to assist me I mean, can you hear how uptight I am???, happily broke off the pincers. I was so stunned! I actually asked him, a virtual stranger, "Why did you pluck off the pincers!!?" Stunned, upset face included. Hahahaha.. He thought I was a weirdo, really. But I really didn't need help to pull the hook off. And I wanted my nice, complete, prawn. Its my first catch, ever u know... Hahahaha... Okay, I shall not blame him. He probably assumed that I was really scared of the prawn. Which is not completely his fault, since I did scream when I 'wrestled' the prawn out of the pond.
Haha.. Shall upload the other photos, and pics from the engin bash with chiennie and vera and chews when I'm free!!!! hahaha.. And chiens going to eat steamboat with me soon!
Happy.
I loveee mooncakes! Just had durian and cempedak (jackfruit) mooncakes from Peony Jade. SUPER YUMMY! Thanks to ting, who got it from her workplace, kpmg, I got the mooncakes at a significant discount. $36. Not too bad for such yummy-ness! Hahaa.. Eugene from the workplace asked me whats "kp" today (its short for kpmg, for my dear non-accounting friends). So blur laaa..
Mommee looks pretty here! I seriously didn't want to post this blearhg photo of myself, but aiya, rare that my mom is so enthusiastic about taking photos.. d
This blogpost is in this colour because my new nail polish from Stage is this colour! (I think.) Heee :))) Chiens dear and I bought the exact same make-up from Stage yesterday. Brown eyeliner and pinkish reddish. They were having buy 1 get 1 free. How cool is that! I spent $74 on a pair of shoes too! U know. Chien and I actually got a discount at Ion Orchard, at this shop called Mugigae or Muga. A Korean apparel and shoes shop. As in, we bargained. Haha, like very auntie-like! But I like. Hee.. Got a 20% discount off the shoes.
(I love my floral shorts!!!!!!)
U know a person is really not used to so high heels, when that person keeps losing her balance. And when you see that person's eyes widen with shock when that person head grazes the arm bars of the mrt. Heex!
The percussions band instructor is really cool! The percussion performance is going to be part of the PwC fiesta day. Its a replacement of the annual D & D. Its on the 2 oct, at Marina Barrage. Fun fun fun fun fun!

For my birthday! Had dinner at No Signboard Seafood restaurant at Geylang with grandpops and the rest. He treated all of us to dinner! The bill was $400 plus. So expensive! Grandpops was really sweet to organise and treat us. =D And! 4 yi gave me this huge ang pow. I thought it was $198 at first. Coz I mistook a $100 bill for a $10 bill. ><. Haha... And I thought, "why $198??". Its $288 actually. Hahaha.. Thats really generous of her! Sweeet! Had leave on the actual birthday. Gave tuition to mun and zhi (just a little for zhizhi only coz he was so not in the mood haiz...). Ate at Seoul Garden. TIAN! Its really so bad. Food took so long to cook, very little selection, plus the food wasn't even yummy. DON'T GO. Haha.. The family was united in its dislike! Went shopping after that! Got this awesome pair of short from cotton on. Love it. It has huge floral prints over it, and its like a blast from the past for mun mun. He couldn't stop ribbing me about it. I had to run away from him trying to take a photo of my shorts. He even said, he was staring at my butt without knowing why, till he realised that it was because of the shorts. Haha.... Hahaha... Had dinner with the uni amis today! Ate at thai express. I got a pretty card made by char! Pretty pretty. And a wallet from Guess! Hahaha.. Ting was worried that I might not like it. I do!!! Took a little while to get used to it only. Don't worry ok! It was like that with the Coach wristlet I got from Connie and wenjie too. Hahahaha.. Delayed reaction. Anyway, my mommy says the wallet is very nice. And she doesn't dish out the compliments that easily. We went to the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition. Oh gosh. It was really very enriching. I learnt alot. And feel even closer to God now, knowing the history behind the Bible, and the efforts that many people of the past had made to spread God's word. 一个字。 Awesome. We went to Taka's mooncake fest too. Missed Bruno to go catch the SMU's Samba Masala performance. BUT WE MISSED IT! ULTIMATE DISAPPOINTMENT. I reallly reallly wanted to watch them live in action. I'm still absolutely sad. So pardon the rar rar whines. Alright. cheer up already. =D I have percussions training again tomorrow. EEKS. Hope I don't make an retard out of myself. *meditate musical tune.meditate musical tune.meditate musical tune.meditate musical tune.* Meeting chiens tomorrow! LOVE! Ta-
On Friday, I was walking to the MRT with tiffany after work. Some guy behind me remarked loudly in shock.."Wednesday Banana?!" (I was happily munching on tiffany's banana, which was given on PwC wednesday's fruit day.) Hahaha.. Nothing much, but it cheered me!
Yums!
I have a lot of pictures to upload to facebook! But I hugely procratinate. Crikey.
Randomly rushing through.. Birthday was pretty laidback this year, but its still with the same good people I love, so thats great! Hahaha... Had percussion training as part of PwC Fiesta day's performance. The band leader is pretty awesome. But I really feel very inept before him, cos i'm a musical klutz, so can't really talk properly. Crabbiess.. Went to the arcade with Ting yesterday. Played drums. Was super fun! Reminisced a lot about the times after school when yy and I would zoom off to the Jurong Point arcade. We played basketball and drums. Haha.. Not solo drums, but with one stick each, and our hand when we needed to. So anyway, when I was with Ting yesterday at the arcade, we were both in a pretty tak glam manner. Think Ting took off her shoes to step on the pedal, and I had one heeled foot on the machine, smacking away on the drum machine, when we heard someone calling me. OH TIAN. I actually saw weijie again. Again!! Why do I keep seeing him?!!? Found out last month that he goes to the same church as me too.. And with weijie were about 3 other guys. One of which is my school's valedictorian. All wearing formal wear. Aiya, we just looked soooo funny la. With our formal attire, funny position at the drum station. And its soooo surprising to meet them there! Hahaha...
Pardon the very short sentences. I'm rushing thru the thoughts zooming around in my head.
Anyway, Seoul Garden at Causeway point is really not nice! And Gelare hasn't left Singapore yet. They still have a branch in causeway point.
Happy family!
Long, hard day at work at home: After a hard day at work at home, haha, my mom got it into her head that if she shifts the table from the yard room to my room, get two big cabinets and place one each in both rooms, her space woes would be solved! So the family was hard at labour, shifting, packing. It took four hours for us to finish shifting and unpacking and emptying the old cabinets. We started at four, so we were ravenously hungry by 8.30pm.
We had a fantastic idea. STEAMBOAT then MIDNIGHT MOVIEEEE!! loves!! <3<3
And so, it was 麻辣火锅 at bugis street, then Orphan at 11.05pm. It was fantastic. I'm still thinking of the crab in the ma la soup. Hahaha... Got to love steamboat! That makes the number of steamboats I had in a month and a half, 3! The one at Tiong Bahru, Crystal Jade and now, Bugis. Yums.
Moms refuses to take photo with the Orphan poster. Neither did Dad. So.. Aww...
Its of the horror genre. The little girl in the show, Esther, acted really convincingly. Memorably angelic, convincingly sinister. I liked how the director portrayed a happy family, a lovely mother, before Esther adroitly manipulated the emotions of the family. Wish they would show even more manipulation though. I wanna watch it one more time!
Find out why Esther wears a ribbon around her neck and wrists at all times! Haha...
And the whole hard day at work as a family, steamboat, then midnight movie. I like it very much.
And that sums up my Saturday. <3

Green - animals - yummy food - love - happy - family - friends - rainbows
Words that are a part of me!
6 July 2009. First Day of work.
26 July 2009. Got my first pay.
I've been really ecstatic, spending the money on my loved ones.. Like really happy!! Its this indescribable uplifting feeling of finally able to go out with my family, and be the one paying instead of them, to see their happy faces ( like, 女儿长大了 kind of faces) when I take the bill. Heexxxxx..
Haha.. Anyway, I do alot of my monthly expenditure on a spreadsheet. Boo.. I spent a lot on faire des courses (shopping). Hahaha.. Pops was sooo sweet, and funny. Haha.. We went to visit Xi Gu at Tan Tock Seng hospital today (on the National Day holiday). What started off as a short trip to Velocity after that to get a sports bra, ahha, turned into a half blown shopping trip. Spunked about $350. About $200 on stuff for me. My dads so sweet!! He paid for most of the shopping. I only paid about $40. hee hee.. After that, he complained that shopping is more tiring than the marathons he does. Haha! Noob!
I treated my family to steamboat dinner at crystal jade, together with my aunts and grandparents. Haha.. It was a tres happy dinner. Hahaha, pops, moms and me went for a drink at holland V after that. And we saw Vincent Ng!! The buff, fit, toned, muscular, actor from channel 5. Hahaha.. Pops thinks he's cute too. Hee hee hee, he looked at me for quite a few seconds! YAY!!! (Although it could be cos I was pacing up and down on the pavement in front of him for 5 minutes. Restlessly waiting for pops to finish using the toilet, hahahaa).
I really love my family!!
Haha, oh! And I bought this liquid eyeliner from In2it for only $4.55! I was going to buy it anyway, only found out there was 50% off at the counter. Haha.. I haven't finished doing up the spreadsheet on what I spent my first paycheck though.. Lots on family, the rest on friends and me. OH!!! J'ai failli oublier faire une donation.
Ta!
One uneventful day at work, I was tres bored.
I peered over into the next cubicle, saw jiajin hard at work. Thinking of striking up a conversation with serious jiajin, I innocently, suddenly, on a whim, asked if she wanted to join the inter-dept basketball. She was like, "NO." Disappointed, but feeling pleased that I spoke to her on something other than work, I settled back into my work routine. Hours later, she suddenly sprung on me, and went, "you really want to sign up for basketball ah. Okay, I'll join with you." EEPS. I was just saying only!
Not wanting to sound like a fickle person, I agreed.
Darn, after signing up, that jiajin backed out! She forgot that she was going M'sia with her parents that day. Not having a valid excuse to back out, and seeing that they really need players, and jiajin seemed quite worried about offending the person we signed up with, I stayed on. And grabbed azleen to go play with me.
Conveniently ignoring the fact that I CAN'T PLAY BASKETBALL. Heck, I can't play netball either. But basketball's worse. At least I've played captain's ball in school.
The Result.....
Extremely sweaty and slightly flushed.
Hahaha we both look very different from work. hahaha... Azleen will kill me if she knows i uploaded the photo! hahaha, cause we don't look our usual glam work self. =D
Haha, surprisingly, it was fun. I don't like not knowing how to play, but as a team game, it was really fun. Dangerous though... This lady elbowed my face twice. I thought, sure bruise already. Then can have bragging rights. (U know, like 'I got this playing basketball!') HAHA! Kidding kidding.. I would be darn sad if I had a bruise on my face.
I never expected that azleen and I would like, hang out with each other. Hahaha, she is soooo friendly!!
Moral of the story: Think twice before you act, or face the consequences!
Haha, I was dreading the game the whole week before it. OH! Everyone at the court could play, except azleen and I. Hahaha... But we both scored a few points. And I did this penalty shoot, and one got in!!! YAY-ness!
The man I'm proudest of.
Who has always encouraged me, been there for me, in my ups and downs. Especially my downs.
The one who uncomplainingly subjected himself to my endless "Do I look okay?" questions every morning before work for two whole weeks.
Thanks for being with me, pops. This convo moment is for you.
Momsie. She inspires me in many ways, behind that steely front, a kind heart resides.
She has her own way of encouraging me, and caring, and I'm thankful that we have gotten closer over this year.
Thank you momsie.
The cute brother that went to my convo, not only to be there at this great milestone of my life (haha, theatrical), but to be my coolie. hee! This brother of mine, has matured quite a lot in the past one year. And he physically grew bigger along the way. I love him alot!
He quietly carried ALL my bags (super heavy, has clothes, files, goodie bag etc), and obediently took alot of photos. Haha.. Goodness. Mx's certificate actually ended up with him. Somehow, her goodie bag, with her graduation cert and handphone, landed in his arms. We didn't even find out till much later, when mx called me frantically to say her cert is lost. She was sooo upset!! Then, I recalled that I think my brother seemed to be holding two white bags. Went to check, thank goodness it was her cert, and not lost at the convo ceremony. It would be such a calamity if it was lost! (Coz they might not reprint the original even if its lost) Its such a mystery, how it ended up with him.
Haha.. And charmaine, weiting, meixuan, yy, we have so many happy memories. I hope I don't ever get dementia and forget them! Xuexin was soooo sweet! She gave me this pretty sunflower in green wrapping. Super nice! (the sunflower, and xx haha). I didn't carry it around in my hands coz the ribbon kept untying itself, and the whole wrapping unravelled itself in my hands. Haha, went home to tie it like really tightly. Its going to join my collection of precious flowers received! =D
Dear yy was not at convo. I WISHED SHE WAS. She's happily travelling in the US now. Woohoo! hahah...
Namkhai, Daniel and Ee seng dropped by to take photos with us too!
Took a picture with Jonathan. This jonathan. He can't stop himself from teasing me, and he seems to think of me as some sort of an angel. Really. He fervently believes that I'll never get angry at him, and he insisted that it can't be true when I told him that I raise my voice at my brother sometimes. Hahaha...
Helen, I like her!. She's like, very genuine. We are super different though.
Clara, who is such a helpful and caring person.
Jeremy, someone whose heart is with God, and is a really nice person.
Took pictures with some more people in school, but not many!
Happy memories. It would have really cool if chien was there too!!! Its a pity her start date of work is the same as my convo date. ANd her convo was during my first week of work. Oh wellllsss.
But your presence is felt! I want to see you soon girl!! Hear more about how teaching is treating you. haha...
