Real girlie...

Was real girlie today...

What meant to be set aside as a planned for work day... was spent as a shopping spree day.

Met up impromptu-ly with Rach and Raq today for a shopping spree. Well, not that I planned for it to be a spree but thought I'll just go out with them as Raq wanted to go Chinatown to get some souvenirs for her colleagues back in U.S. And as usual, when 3 girls go out shopping together, it's inevitable that one influences the other and so on and so forth and we end up with bags full of suits, skirts and blouses.

Other than Raq who ended up with weird stuff that I wouldn't usually buy, such as Merlion fruit picks, chinese embroidery tissue boxes cover and chinese embroidered cushion covers.

ARGH! Can't believe I spent so much this month!

I bought a pinkish purplish suit, a pink top, a purple skirt and a blue skirt. Spent a total of $129!!!! Apart from the many other things that I spent on this month...

Can't believe I am such a spend thrift this month!!!

Time to zip shut my wallet next month... especially crucial... keeping in mind the impending plans I have...

Oh well, now, no more going on a guilt trip on how I didn't do my work this weekend and how I spent so much... Guess it's time for bed. Will finish up my work tomorrow...

Nitez...

Lethargy...

Been feeling tired lately.

Somewhat lost the zest (at work) somehow.

Does anyone wonder why my entries have been pretty depressing the last couple of months?

No?

Cuz I do...

Just finished an event yesterday. Wasn't mainly mine, but was helping out a colleague to run the program.

I would say that the event turned out to be successful despite the major screw-ups that occured before the event. However, I think my colleague did a good job of handling some of the issues whilst the rest of us tried to help him out in some ways or other.

In anycase, went back late, woke up early to go for event venue tear down. Phone started ringing and was bugged by office with questions about this and that and this and that.

By the time I reached office, I received a series of instructions from my boss (who's in vietnam) via e-mail.

Realised that I've got to grapple and handle 5 projects.

Sheesh...

Where do I start?

Am so tired... What's my motivation?

I wonder...

Yet another success...

This is the reason why it's a love-hate relationship with my job.

There are so many reasons why I find this job worthwhile, especially it with the ability to give me a sense of achievement in many ways not just one.

As with every other project, not all credit should go to the project manager, but being the overall-in-charge for the project sure boosts one's ego.

Yeah yeah, I know that this blog is probably 1 week late, with the event being held on the 8th of September, but I've been busy chilling out. I desperately needed that...

Anyway, a couple of pictures before I go on...

Part of the results of 18 hours of hardwork...


And yes, I had the opportunity to get accquainted with Lisa... a real warm and friendly lady! Think I'm the envy of most of my guy friends now...

Friendly Lisa!


It's only coming 5 months since I've been here but it sure feels like it has been eons. Sometimes I feel so sure that this is what I want... and yet, my mind falters at times. Not to mention that the work "environment" doesn't help to firm up my opinions of my job...

Sometimes, I look at my friends, and seeing how they are going places... or how they are starting off on a perfectly fine footing, I ask myself if there's anything wrong with me. Or I can't help asking myself what went wrong along the way.

I can't help feeling envious sometimes... I'm only human.

I need to make up my mind... Can't help feeling lost...


P.S. I got my belly-ring back!! Won't call it impulse but decided to go for a 2nd try. Raq went with me and she looked so digusted as she saw how James did it and how my blood was happily free-flowingly oozing out of the new piercing! Hahaha... Hopefully it will not get infected too badly this time! :)
(Entry: So sad...)

Life doesn't hurt...

It's the people in life who makes it hurt...

I don't know why but this phrase keeps repeating itself in my head. I guess it's because of what's been happening at work...

S tendered today... I guess it's a good and bad thing. I believe she'll be able to do ok out there... And I'm actually happy for her that she finally made this decision. It's high time for her to move on...

On the other hand, now that she's not going to be around much... I'm getting worried too... Worried because there is no one around to handle production issues. No one is experienced enough over here...

Oh well...

On a brighter note, my weekend was good! On Saturday evening, I had a big surprise. At least it was meant to be a surprise. Raq came back from US! She was so sneaky about it that she claimed she told no one. However, the rest of the guys found out earlier than me cuz she did what she had to do the minute she reached Singapore. Visited Marcus for her grooming session at Cyn's salon... Haha...

I kinda suspected that something fishy was going on when Rach insisted on meeting despite me saying that I already have a dinner appointment. Wasn't her usual style... She would usually just let it go and say something along the lines of "Ok loh, then we shall meet another day". But on Saturday, she was going on and on like..."9pm? 9.30pm? What time can you make it?".

Hehe... And not to mention that on Sat itself, I was over at Glitz... And Cynthia and Marcus were behaving fishily too... lol... but was good seeing Raq. I saw her standing there, in the distance, trying to make a phone call to find out which table we were seated at. Kinda funny...

She'll be back for slightly less than a month to try to settle her Visa... gonna try to find some time to spend with her... got so much to tell her... :)

Whimps and Fancies...

Feels like I've been giving in to the whimps and fancies of so many people lately that I wonder who else other than baby will give in to mine.

Life's been a constant rollercoaster. While I would like to view it as challenges which I can conquer and feel great after, it's getting really tiring. I like the human aspects of life. Interacting with people, getting to know one better. Recently, in the course of work, I've come to meet Lisa from CNA. She's really warm in real life, unlike the poised and 'cool' lady that I thought her to be due to the image that I see on screen. AND I can't believe that she's so 'giggly'... but then again she justified it by saying that she's not being herself as she's almost in a state of delirium due to the long filming hours.

But this project has definitely been a headache... many last minute changes that I've got to grapple with. Feel so stuck amongst the many parties that I've got to lias with. Clients, suppliers, contractors and the hotel. BiGgGgGgGg Headache!!!

Event's tomorrow... slowly counting down to the end of the event. In the meantime, sorting out the mess the DAY BEFORE THE EVENT is not funny....

MOoD SwiNgS...

Feels like I'm back in secondary school... or primary for that matter...

Can't help having mood swings... MoOooOooOoOOoOOoOOoOody.......

Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a dilemma... time to move on to different places... yet I can't...

I guess I can... I guess everything's a choice I make... but reality is that my world does not only belong to me. What happens to me affects so many other people around me.

On a brighter note, work seems to be getting slightly better for now. Currently I'm only handling 1 major project... Compared to before... it's nothing... But nothing better go wrong for this event!

OH well... the ups and downs of life...
