Some of my colleagues are really irritating. Their EQs really down to zero, as intelligent as a PORK. One incident pissed me off today. After my submission for a funding application to my BIG BIG boss, this colleague of mine then give me "advice" on some additional points I could hav added in my submission to "support my case". DAMN LA! Have asked him a few days ago, and not a single response from him, straight after I submit to my big boss then give me this kind of crap! Everytime escalate to higher level then start to pay attn to my email...I'm not going to resend again lor, going to deh gong to his additional pointers... What will my boss think of me when I resend, wan me to look stupid... JIAN..
My staff also another one.. yesterday I've already asked her for opinions before I send my report to the little boss, everything shd surface to me before I submit upwards ma, then this ku ku suddenly throw in one sugg straight to my little boss, skipping myself, making me look stupid again.. Shd have sugg it yesterday rite! I think prob she wans to put herself in gd light in fron of my boss la, but still shd give me some respect wat.. This is not her first time liao, last time when I need to submit something else to my bosses, I've already asked her to check the figures carefully as she is in charge of the ground work, then again, immediately after I 've sent it to my boss, she came running to me and point out various mistakes in the report. I have already asked her to check before hand! Subsequently the following day, she pointed out a mistake again! Try to be funny rite, makes me look like a fool again when I've to ask my little boss sign the paper again. Then two wks later, she AGAIN informed me that there were TWO errors in that report. Wa liew! my Big boss already signed lo, have to get my little boss to re-resign and my big boss to resign again... So many mistakes! This is supposed to be her area of work, but because I've to vet it, makes me responsible for the mistake as well...damn careless, Im going to reflect this in her performance appraisal once I've the chance. HUMPH! SUPER BUAY SHONG NOW!

It's a bad day, very bad day.. woke up with upset stomach and a bit of runny nose...had a tiff w Cha last nite where he kept insisting he's right, plus he dun like me call him PORK, just joking only ma, small gas.. Today lunch Cha also informed that his director not supportive of him enuf, hear liao also low morale.
The ultimate worst of all is when I'm told by my little boss that I have to shift my cubicle! I dun wannnnn!!!!!! I luv my current location, it's facing the sea and has a fabulous sunset view. Hav to move to one isolated area in one suffocating room just to convenience the policy people, I HATE THIS!! Y everytime hav to sacrifice my section...Really feel like stamping my feet and burst into loud wails..Im very very sad now...My cub location has been a huge motivating factor for me to work here:(

My bday is over within a blink of eyes...so fast! It's one of the best bday ever, think partly due to the fact that it falls on a weekend, which is quite rare for me.. Have started the marathon weekend celebration with Pink @ Brewerks. Most turned up and we took quite a number of pic thou I lost track of who took them, haa ... Was quite surprised when Cha suddenly turned up with pink roses for me and mucks me on my pimple on my left cheek..wahaha... Tot Cha not coming this time cuz Jun not ard to liase with, and I had not tot of Moreen in the first place.. Of cuz the finale came when I made a birthday wish before blowing out the candles on the cake. Hope what I've wished for cum true! The touching moment came when I received so many bday smses after midnite.. realli touched!! This includes frens whom I've not heard from for a long time..my pri sch frens, my sec sch frens, my jc frens, my uni frens..I must remember to do the same for their bdays!
Cha counted down my bday with me. Midnite came when we reached the void deck, felt quite heartwarming when Cha sang the happy birthday song softly to me. Cha fetched me at ard 11 am the next morning. We went to this small Italian restaurant for desserts at Upper Bukit Timah area. It looks like a small cozy cottage and I love their vanilla cake, it was very nice! Too bad we were too full to eat their main course..it looks pretty authentic there, but Cha promised that he will bring me there for dining again=)
Not much events for the day because there are really not many places to go to for day activities, so we shop ard Vivo city before Cha drove us to the dinner place which he has made it so mysterious...D'sire is located across the Maxwell Mkt, along the street of shophouses. The decor is dark and quite romantic, hav a soft feel, with hanging blinds and huge sofa seats by the window. The restaurant has a sensual theme, the menu even hav erotic pics printed on them lo.. makes me feel so shy..haa but nothing sleazy there la...The food damn expensive..even the cheapest (vegetarian pasta) costs $32+++, wahhh... Of cuz Im not that stupid to order this dish la, super bo hua one..I had a seabass and chaa had a pork trio combo..servings damn small lo... dunno if Chaa was full or not... the whole bill amts to hundred plus, the food actually dun worth that much de, it's like eating ambience..
wahaha...despite Chaa's effort to keep the gift a top secret, yuan lai I had already hit the bull's eye in the past, I even told Pink abt it!! It's a Burberry bag! Ha but of cuz Chaa had managed to mislead me into thinking it's not la.. Even thou I had guessed it correctly, but I still appreciate the effort Chaa had put into to find it for me. Actually I had not even told Chaa the particular model I like, I had just made a passing remark on Blue Label when Tian showed us that day. He managed to buy the correct one!! wahahaha... I know he went thru a lot of trouble to get the bag as he had to get someone to buy it from Japan. Chaa nearly cannot get it because of the high demand for this bag... My first branded bag..so touched:)
After dinner, Chaa brought me to this alfresco chill-out place where the whole cafe overlooks the whole outram area..It was nice!! The weather is gd and I sat facing the lights of the city area. I can even see the fireworks there, thou only partially, but it's beautiful...
After the drinks Chaa came to my house and we played Chor Dai Di to end off the day.. But I was really mad that Chaa won most of the rounds.. Tot my birthday would hav better luck de, humph... nearly touched to tears when Cha sang me a bday song again near mid nite which marks the end of my 24th Bday...=)

YEEEYUCKSSS!!! A yucky disguisting green caterpillar landed on my neck yesterday. I realized it only when 2 Indonesian ladies informed me on the MRT. Inititally I tot these 2 ladies were gossiping abt me as they whispered to each other and kept stealing glances at me. I even glared at them so as to warn them to stop looking at me. Then one of them came towards me and flung the disguisting worm onto the MRT floor. SO ER XIN. My goosebumps came out after seeing the worm wriggling on the floor. While we were all looking at the worm making its way to the pole, got this super kay por man coming from the next door and stomp down on the worm and dragged this poor worm across the floor. Super gross! The green worm broke into half and u can see all the liquid gushing out from its body, YUCKS.. Damn unlucky, I have a phobia of worms and this has to happen to me. Lucky I kept my composure and din scream out loud in front of so many ppl. My utmost appreciation to the lady who helped me get the worm off me, cannot imagine another second longer with the stupid worm on my neck. Feel like gagging as I am writing this...*faint*.
My father also did something funny today. He said happy birthday to me this morning!!!! Then I looked blur and told him today not my bday which he replied "Not today meh?" haizz.. it's either he tot my bday is 17th, or he got the date wrong for today, hopefully it's the latter. Dunno if he will wish me again tomolo morning hor...hee..
Later going to Brewerkz for dinner with Pink de..looking foward to it, I quite like Brewerk, beer is nice.. Pink said today not staying late cuz now it's seventh lunar month and is creepy to go home late..yah agree, I'm kind of tired and restless this week.. But then no one count down to midnite with me?? On a brighter note, I'm only hrs away from knowing my bday present fr Chaa...wahahah.. He is also keeping the dining place a secret..aiyoh..so mysterious..makes me so excited.. But then feeling a bit blue also, what do I have to look forward to after my bday?? I can't stand working routinely again.. tots of this makes me sian...Work makes me so unmotivated in life.. I guess have to wait for Anniversary celebration in Oct lo... CHAAAAA I'm so excited of the plans u have for me tomorrow!!!! =D

Late King is late again, humphhh..thou slightly late, it's still late. I hate waiting..Feels like I've always been waiting for others for as long as I can remember. It's not so frustrating to wait in grps because the waiting time gets accentuated when I'm alone. In the past, I always try my best to show up on time because I don't like friends waiting for me, now I'm feeling the opposite, I think it's better to show up late.. ha..sometimes being punctual, thou it's a desirable attribute, does weigh on me and I've to end up waiting and waiting and waiting, with no apology made by the other party and that piss me off. The most irritating of all is some of the LAME excuses for the delay even though that could have been avoided if effort is made. I guess frequent late comers often take punctual ppl for granted and deem it as no big deal for the other party to wait, and this is very unfair to punctual ppl. So the morale of the story: If u r always going to end up waiting for ppl, u turn up later than these ppl. This is the philosophy I'm going to embrace, yah man...
Feeling very inept today, lousy in fact. I don't understand y my big boss, supposedly a person with high functionality don't know how to respond to the big big big boss and needs us to craft a intelligible response for him. I din know I have to do to tis extent, and ends up my small boss penning a speech for him when I'm supposed to be the one doing it...Y muz he be spoonfeeded leh? Doesn't the high pay justify whatever he has to do on his own? Super idiot, the answer has already been given and repeated, but juz because he wanted to do things his own way he kept bugging us for the ans he wanted. So many restrictions, cannot means cannot wat..still so stubborn to make things work. ..U so brilliant u give the chairman the ans urself, dun push all the chasing work to us la! This is the way C**** S****** works what. So damn rich, yet so stingy, yet want the best of both worlds so that u look intelligible in front of all ur bosses, I DUN GIVE A DAMN LA. Im very very frustrated w work, I HATE WORK HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT...
Miserable now, how can I ever bear with it for another yr~~~

After 356 days, I hav rebonded my hair again.. Now is super flat, super straight and Cha says I looked like a fishball.. That's not supposed to be the way!!! The first thing I've expected him to say was Wow u r gorgeous babe, and NOT u look like a fish ball!! Devastated leh...But it's quite cheap la, less than a hundred, and it's so near my house. Think I will frequent the home-salon again.
Today will be dining @ Cha's home, so that Cha can help out with the preparations for the lunar seventh month. That means today is late dinner de, think better snack a bit before I go de... Monday bluez...very blue...I practically dragged my legs to work.. Was thinking of ways to skip work, but realize I can't overcome my conscience to fake MC la, plus I won't want to waste 20 odd dollars to see a doc to get only one day's rest. SIAN!!!! I HATE WORKING!!
Looking forward to Fri..I really am.. Can celeb my bday together with Pink and countdown with all my good friends ard.. Think it will be a long time before my bday falls on Sat again. Next yr my bday will be on Mon. But I think if everything goes well, my bday next yr shd be really special for me.. Aiyoh, just thinking of it makes me hopeful and this keeps me going de...things have not been going right for me these few weeks, quite unlucky..very very poor now.. My bday wish is to to hope both Cha and my dreams come true and we struck lots and lots of riches!!!! buhahahahah, then I will be very very happy...
Ohhh Chaa just gave another hint for my present leh... 6) It's not cheap.. Hmm but I'm still not making any headway in guessing what it is leh... so mysterious..gets me all excited again now... How to bear with another 5 days??? Feeling mystified now...

I can't breathe; my chest feels so suffocated...Strange enuf, this only happens when I'm in the office doing nothing.. Cha says that I've got the Office Syndrome...wahahah...yah I guess so..
So dreadful..later meeting my big boss for a heart-to-heart talk.. Stress leh..dunno what to say. Shd I tell him the truth..that I have been doing a lot of shit jobs which he has assigned me? Or juz hypocritize that I'm managing perfectly well and had always strive for excellence in these shit jobs? The ironic part came when he assured us in a pre-meeting email that this chat will not be couched in performance related context, ALTHOUGH there will be elements of this..WHAT THE... One sentence sums it all: This chat is pivotol to my performance grading. Think it's better to fake and show the I've- got- great- career -prospects- here attitude la.
Have confirmed my place for the Taiwan trip liao, will depart on 20th and be back on 27th Dec. I 'll be spending my Xmas overseas! The only regret is that Cha cannot come with us la, a bit sad that this yr cannot celeb Xmas with him.. Also sad that we cannot go on a trip alone, which has been agreed on earlier on.
This week not meeting Pink again..Moreen and Wyn and her bf watching Secret @ West Mall. My eyes turning red, prob due to infection from contact lens le.. so dun feel like watching late movies. Think next week we will be meeting bah..haa to celeb my bday!! Yoo Hoo...
Looking forward to our date on Sat de...dunno where we shd go, HRC? hmm, but it will mean shopping in that area after that rite..sounds a bit boring leh.. I WANT SOMETHING SPECIAL, It's my last week of 23rd years old leh..muz give my 23rd year a GRAND farewell de..OK CHAA?? :D

My first entry in 2007! I remember the last time I wrote was one and a half years ago, when I was still studying.. Time flies and I'm officially a working adult liao. How I wish, almost everyday that I could return to student life again. Almost every morning I will clutch Cha cha's arms and refused to go to work.. I know I shouldn't be lidat la, everyone has to work and I'm not born with a silver spoon or a golden spoon for that matter.
I guess my work is ok. My boss treats me well, a very nice lady with no boss airs at all.. but working relationships here are not that straightforward. For one thing, I really hate the biasness towards scholars here. People alwasy say it's a scholastic world, but it's really a world of difference in remuneration and career prospects lo. These scholars are groomed to be senior management while we normal graduates are destined to be their foremen.. They earned almost 3 times more than us, even thou i cannot see what's so capable abt them la...they only know how to study and study and study and score straight As ma, Big deal!
My work range from managing assets to knowledge management to webmaster to secretary to event coordinator to audit, even down to arranging promotion lunches and dinners for senior management here. I also sympathesize myself...a psychologically trained graduate has to do so many unrelated, boliao sai kang shit jobs... As if Im the one who got promoted lidat. Still hav to submit menu and venue proposals to the relevant authority to APPROVE the menu, sometimes damn angry..this sort of private functions they should ask their maids or PAs, and not me to do it... It's the public's money they are wasting lo...
My big boss also problematic la... Extremely rigid and sometimes unbearably demanding..He treats his subordinates as if he revolves ard our worlds lidat...no respect for us, and ME in particular. Everytime I arrange to meet w him, he either very late or he cancel at short notice. Macham my work very unimpt lidat, sometimes dun even bother to go thru my work properly.. Sometimes the PAs also arrogant, sometimes dun giv me the slot I want and say my things less impt compared to others...so arrogant for wat huh, stupid PAs...sometimes I feel like shouting to them" U r just a *** PA!"
Work at times is unbearable, and often hav the urge to throw the letter on the desk and just clear my leaves. I think wat makes me hestitate wld be my small boss le... It would not be right to throw back all the work to her if I tender. And I guess I really need the work experience, thou i dunno will be useful or not.. But sometimes I feel redundant in my section la.. my buddy is my big boss's pet, not to mention he's a capable scholar as well. My neighbor is also an experienced worker. He copes quite well even thou he only joined recently, and he was loaded with quite a number of big projects pretty soon. Im really not cut out to be a servant. What to do...I have no work experience with no relevant qualifications, just bear with it lo!
Meanwhile, there are a couple of impt events I can look forward to these coming months. My birthday is only 2 weeks away. Have been bugging Cha what he has bought for me, but he is really tight lipped abt it.. Ok, here are the hints he gav me after my relentless pleas..1. It's colorful; 2. it can be used, depending on how I look at it; 3. It's not easily found; 4. Cha bought it near Outram; 5. I have mentioned or seen it long time ago. WHAT IS IT??? Have cracked my head these few weeks but nothing came out of it leh.. Cha even hid it in his office, HUMPH.. Very mao dun hor... I yearn a surprise from Cha and yet I want to know wat he has planned exactly for me that day.Guess that is the complicated nature of a woman..
Next I'm looking forward to second anniversary in Oct lo...still dunno wat to buy leh.. Cha mentioned that he needed an Oakley shades, which I think it's better to ignore la...haaaha..Next will be Xmas lo..but still need to get the family trip sorted out... Frustrating leh...y can't the two of us just do whatever we like without having to worry abt others... Family expectations are always a big obstacle which I hope can be overcome soon..
Really hope that everything goes well these few months, esp for Chaaa. Really looking forward to the end of the year.
Lucky tomolo is National Day, means rest day tomolo... Not that Im patriotic abt this day, and Im defintely not going to wear red tomolo lo...Will get more sleep tomolo... Today very eng at work, so can write such a long essay.. counting down to 6 o'clock liao...

Sch is startin and heng I've got all the modules I wanted...Fri is my free day!! yeah!! Kinda sad that I'm leaving my intern place, got sentimental feelin attached to my colleagues, the interviews and my desk..haha..it has always been one of my childhood dreams that I hav my own desk at work so that I can decorate my desk and Im juz startin to get cozy w my desk leh~ hehee
Today when I was reading in the office, I suddenly received Huixia's sms that someone was using my msn to impersonate me !! I was so shocked that I told xia to stall him while I made my way across the block to catch him. Was quite angry de, when I reached the learnin centre, it was easy to spot who was the culprit lo, only two terminals with internet access, and one of my intern fren was using the other one.. I paced behind that guy and saw he had anya's msn window on the task bar, wa kaoz... he still din notice I was standing behind him lo. I demanded him to log out of MY msn and he said OK~ kaoz ! dunno paiseh at all one leh...still wan to go online flirt w girls, using my account somemore...heng the gal he approached is fr pink army...still pretend to be me!! hummphh!!! When he left I kept staring at him, then he quickly turned his head away..haha..too late le lo, I remember his face liao, hide also no use la! At first I thought my msn is auto sign in, but the last time I used was yesterday and I am sure I did log off. I also remembered that I never turn on the auto sign in option lo. Later I found out that this guy was actually from the technology department fr the HQ...Hard to believe, but it is possible that he tracked my password!!!! how could he do something so despicable la, somemore fr the technology dept at HQ, unbelievable! hah, I'm still considering if I should lodge a complaint..hmm, see first la!
Today I had four rounds of buffet helping, sure put on weight one leh, but the food catered for the directorate was much better than those for the general staff leh, so I helped myself to the third and fourth rounds on the leftovers by the directors...haha cannot help it la... tomolo Dom will give me a nasi lemak treat, Fri having a luncheon with the recruitment management, wow..I guess I will be having a great time (eating) this week!!!wahahah, will put on weight again le~

Todae Im hav been coughing my head off... but at least I get to sit in at TMP for the whole day. TMP is another max security house, albeit the older version, it's strict there la, cannot bring my belongings inside,including $$, hp and sweets!! In the end, I onli brought in my tissue, water bottle lo, so ke lian, That's y today I din take any medication becuz all my belongings were outside. I hav to get thru at least 10 gates before I finally reach the office lo and there is only one toilet that is shared by all male and female staff there. Strang enuf, the toilet is inside the prison officer's room lo (all males ) then still hav to hang the "toilet in use" sign to alert others when Im using. I also use it at top speed in case anyone barge in cuz the locks were not working lo, scary~ My attached buddy there, Dominic brought me for two personality assessments todae. I still remembered that I was his participant for his thesis two years ago, cuz his name very unique...haha, fancy meeting him again in PSB... During the assessment, the clients hav to complete a 334 items questionaire (PAI). But some of them not gd in reading english lo, and I have to read every single 334 statements for one of them, sometimes explaining to them. The second session worse, hav to translate the statements into mandarin for one client..wah sey, not easy le, on the spot translation, but I did quite ok la, cuz the statements were simple and short...haha..Dominic said Im good thou..wahaha..Altogether, I hav read out near to 800 statements to my clients lo...no easy feat, and I was coughing alongside, like an old woman..wahaha. My coughing seems to get worse, but it's expected la, since my medication cannot be regular, juz hope that I can recover by Xmas eve~

Im sick; Im not chinese (wahahaa)...hmm..todae take off beczu im very drowsy after medication.. all in all this week has been fruitful... everyday I get to visit the clusters and interact with clients there. On monday it's a cluster (A3, A5) and KBC visit... for KBC Im surprised that it does not look wat it's supposed to be.. a lot of freedom and access to privileges, totally diff from the stereotype that I hav. Their presentations earned wow from us, very professional and well done; can tell that they put in a lot of efforts. For the cluster visit, I get to visit their workshops, bakery and laundry, well organized and hardworking, again it's a surprise for me.. Tuesday I get to visit A1 max security house. Yes all the hardcores are there, and I dun dare to make eye contact with the passerby becuz they all look so fierce and unfriendly lo..my sup's client also lai(2) tou(2)bu(4) xiao(3). perhaps he's the fear of many ppl many years back.. he's polite la, but I cannot really understd him but still impressed me with his standard of english. btw, I also saw angmors in the cluster too, which shocked me la, tot they will be housed in another place. Yesterday had been fun for me. all my clients were young, and talkative. Cuz im the only female there, they r curious and tok to me a lot. At first i dun feel comfortable with the attention they gave me, but they showed me respect and slowly, I opened up to them. They asked me the recent trends la, my personal life details la, and shared with me some of their work they have done. Im impressed again by their good conduct and despite their wrongdoings in the past, they seemed repentant and diligent when doin their homework. Im also flattered when they said I look like Christy Chung, wahaha (*my readers out there dun vomit la, they were quite sincere, but think they too long never watch TV, so pls pardon them lo=P)They even requested me to visit them today but unfortunately Im sick and cannot make it le:( My sup actually planned another assessment this morning, but I am too weak to go to work la, so missed this opportunity. I really wanted to go one...these experiences realli inspired me and strengthen my passion for my field. My sup is also a nice guy, like him a lot and he taught me many things which I can never learn from campus:) thats' all for todae la, the whole week's summary. Muz start buying xmas present le, have not bought any yet..opps=p

Third day of attachment le and so far I have done nothing but study the textbooks and some of the assessments in the office. Boring... fell asleep when I was attempting to read those very dry textbooks. Some of the contents were interesting and relevant la, but want me to stare at the book for 8 hrs will faint lo...macham preparing for another exam lidat...aiyoh.. hopefully tomolo will be more interesting, will be meeting my first "client" in the afternoon, looking forward to it since Mon liao...
Always feeling hungry in the office leh..prob becuz of the low temperature in the room bah... may hav to stock up cup noodles and shd try to bring a fruit everyday, muz hav a healthy diet even when working. My mum bought a large packet of famous amos cookies todae, so tomolo will be bringing some over to the office to fill my hunger, despite Danny's protests that I may end up looking like a pig..hummpphh

Todae is the first day of internship, hmm.. first impression: a run down and kampong like place.. kinda looks like the barracks on St John island I've been to during secondary sch days, but it's nice and peaceful la, very cozy actually... colleagues r nice too.. all quite friendly, have been introduced to hundreds of time liao, and everytime I had to repeat my name at least twice, aiyoh...shd have used Pristine instead of my chinese name la haha :P seriously, think I will put on weight there, cuz there is no canteen there, so we hav to drive out to eat, and the nearby hawker is Changi food village leh!! still can go old airport road eat if sian of the village food, luckily my supervisor drives haha...After lunch had nothing to do , so surf their intranet and read some stuff here and there.. but at least Im getting in touch with forensic psychology there, so excited lo...btw, forgot to tell Moreen juz now that I saw Donnie Yen look alike at the office this morning!! hee...he's also first day at work and my fren shared the same sentiments too, esp the eyes and the build, wahaha...tink my dear fren is drooling liao;P
