THE PIECES
Monday, May 04, 2009
Ok, since I'm waiting for my colleague to finish something, I shall update a bit more than a bit.
I am now working in a financial advisory firm (I know, totally no link from my course of studies, be it secondary school or poly).
But I'm in the marketing department of the firm (yes, now there is a relation right?)
I'm probably the youngest in the whole company at the moment. But people in my company are generally young (my CEO is 35).
I'm being piled with work, and I'm working 7 days a week. No I'm not exaggerating; my office hours are 9 to 6, but with the amount of work I have I can work till 10 plus on a weekday. I bring work home on weekends, so that's why I'm working 7 days a week. Webmail is my new best friend at home.
My boss put me in-charge of a huge project (why he chose a 20-year-old with no experience over a more experienced manager baffles me), and I am second-in-charge for 3 other big projects. My projects will last till late August, so if you can't find me within this time frame, I am either in my office or at home doing work. If you don't see me around after late August, you know I screwed up and I'm dead.
I'm sorry my friends, I can't spare a lot of time to meet up with you guys. If I do have the time to meet up with you, please feel very honoured ok, I only give my time to special people.
But even with all the cons of the job, I still kinda love it. I have a nice boss, nice colleagues and there is not much office politics (that I have encountered yet). I've already learned a lot, in the short 2 months plus I've been here. Although I want to learn more, I desperately need a day off (to really sleep through the whole day without dreaming of unfinished work).
My god. I typed this entry much faster than I type out a 250 word commentary. I wish this inspiration comes to me every week when I write my commentaries (I have 10 commentaries to write every week).
I have kind of given up my dream to be a Singapore Girl, for the moment. Anyway SIA isn't hiring now. So it's not that they don't want me, its I don't want them =D (yeah I know, self denial is powerful)
I'm going kuku I tell you. I even asked my family doctor, "Do you have something to extend my day?" He looked at me blankly. I think he thought I was nuts. "24 hours a day is not enough. Look at my eye bags!"
His reaction was so funny. "Then do you want me to give you something about that?"
Hahahaha. I wasn't expecting a reaction. So I said, "I'm joking la."
He looked utterly relieved, as if I asked him a super difficult question, and I really meant what I was asking. Hahahaha, comic relief.
Seriously, I don't even have time to celebrate my 21st. SAD CASE. I'm thinking of all the presents I won't receive. REALLY SAD LOR. Imagine, 20 years down the road, when my friend asks me, "How did you celebrate you 21st?" Then I'll answer (very loserishly), "Working lor."
Sad right? Hai. Never mind. I hope my boss gives me an increment after my probation is up. I'm feeling a little overworked now.
Okay. I'm going to sleep. I need to wake up in.. 4 hours time. Hai. GOOD NIGHT.

It's gonna be a crazy crazy CRAZY four months.
I swear.
I hope I lose some weight, if not I'll be busy and stressed for nothing.
But I know I'll have support from my loved ones all the way, and I'll pull through, coming out stronger than before!
<3

I was in 4-inch heels, and I was surrounded by men in uniform in Ritz Carlton.

My date.

My godbrother.

The table, and someone else.

Just the table.
It was such an enjoyable evening. Thank you Ben!
Now.. Back to work.

Okay, I know I haven't been updating. At all.
But cut me some slack ok, I've been busy!
Got a new (and challenging) job, which is sucking most of my life away, but I actually kind of enjoy work.
I'm looking forward to:
1. 27 March 2009
2. Ben's commission ball (in Ritz Carlton!)
3. Ying Min coming back
4. some time to upload all my accumulated photos
5. expanding my wardrobe so it can suit my needs of being an OL (hahahahahaha)
I know Ben will kill me when he sees how high my heels are. But they are a damn nice pair!
This week will definitely kill me. I'm gonna have to diet (furiously and unwillingly) so I can fit nicely into my dress, and so I can actually eat during the ball. And so I won't look like a giant on heels hahahahaha.
I love my life now, I can't wait for my birthday already! *HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT to everyone who I will invite* Please start saving for my present =D
I'm wondering if I should splurge on myself on my birthday... But then I won't be able to invite a lot of people... And I'll have to sponsor myself... But I'm definitely considering... After all, its 21!
Looking forward to going to work... Both Cinders will be there to greet me =)

The last post of the year.
No I'm not gonna break into some long reflective post, it's so.. over the top. Just a short one will do.
2008 was an eventful year.
Twice my family was threatened, twice by idiots who don't know how to think. But that's really not worth any more words than this.
I'm enjoying most of my work now, and I'm making the most of the job as anyone can make out of a job.
Been to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia in a period of less than 6 months, thanks to work.
Still loving the people who deserve my love <3
Missing school life and being a student; maybe I'll go back to being one next year.
Zoukout was a disappointment, wasted my $48 and time which could have been better spent with my love.
Hope 2009 will bring love, peace and wealth to my family. (I know I sound damn cliched, but so what? Don't like, don't read.)
Love love love love love love love!

Oh the arrogance! (just being dramatic)
Gearing up for the Bali trip! It's been shortened, but it doesn't bother me, I hope I'm gonna have fun!
I've been to so many different pubs in Singapore that I never thought I would step into, but well, the company's what's matters most right? I think I've been in good company =D
I know I haven't been updating with pictures, I'm just plain lazy can haha. And I haven't been home very much either, but my nails are still changing colour every week. I need new colours soon!
Okay la, just one picture to show what I've been up to recently.

Go figure!

It's been more than a month since I updated, been so busy and I'm seldom home. But I've been enjoying myself!
In the office now, so no pictures yet. Let's have a wordy post for once.
My trusty iPod is slowly but surely dying on me. At least the earphones are. I need new ones.
This is the first time in my life I feel restricted by my environment and people around me. I wish it wasn't like that. It sucks to have it stuck inside. I wish I could say it out loud and say it out proud. I've never been this happy yet stifled at the same time. It's an indescribable feeling.
I've not clubbed for.. I can't even remember the last time I clubbed. Can someone ask me to go clubbing?!
I've gained quite a few new friends, very fun new friends.
I've also gained weight, damn. I need to get back my rules.
Cheap and Chic!
"
Come and live a love supreme Don't let it get you down Everybody lives for love"
- my new favourite song
I've changed much in these past few months. Working in JK has changed me.
My dreams these days are always filled with the same face. That face, the dazzling smile, the smile-inducing laughter. It's haunting me.
I want my baby back.I'll update logically with pictures later.
