Highlights of the week:

Madhouse...
I got the R51... Heh...
But ever since I got my laptop, it's been a MADHOUSE! Have not left office earlier than 9 for the last few days, have not slept earlier than 3am the last few days and it was 5am when I slept last night.
Work's CRAZY!
It IS!
Turn around time for proposals here is like 2 days... regardless of whether you got on going events. And that's what is happening to me! I went for a briefing from a client today, am heading another event for tomorrow... so it was crazy for me the last few days organising this event and I have to submit the 'new' proposal on Friday!
And it's not just brain work that I've got to do. I have got to go recce-ing places, take pictures, arrange proposal, make amendments! Argh!!!
Got to go! Got to go! Taaaaaaaa......

Happy Mothers' Day!
Heheh... especially to my cousin!
She sent me an sms early this morning at 5.30am, saying that she has given birth to a healthy baby girl weighing 3KG at 5.00am! How much happier can a mother get?!
Haha, got my mum to buy 4D numbers.... 0805, 0855, 8555 (time, date, month, year)! Nice number huh!
Anyway, I can't believe it! I think I'm turning into an insomniac. I couldn't sleep after receiving my cousin's sms and all my work plans and things that I got to do kept running through my head! Argh! No! I don't wanna be a workaholic or an insomniac because of work! Eeks!
Anyway, yay! Am going to get my new work station tomorrow! Finally! My boss ordered two new laptops for my 'manager' and me... It's about time, especially when I already have 3 projects under me and tonnes of liasing to do!
Would it be this?
IBM x40
or this?
IBM R51
No matter what, new laptop! Yippee!

ZzzZzz...
Time's been flying passed so quickly since I start work.
Work's exciting, hectic, challenging, tiring all at once. While I try to remain optimistic, I can't help feel a littl distressed as things are in a real mess!
While I have projects on hand to handle, things to coordinate, I don't even have a proper work station to use! And many other things... that's the extent of it.
Many people at work look drained, feel drained and I can't help feeling the same way. I mean I don't understand why I feel so tired when I've barely started handling projects and stuff and when I'm only 4 days into the job.
I keep having this image of a whirl-wind pool, and everyone that comes near it, just gets sucked into it. Just like how everyone's just so sucked in the work that everyone's energy zapped. And I seriously think the company needs to consider WELFARE. Oh well...
NO! I don't want to repeat the 1 week at a new job stunt! Haha... Hopefully I don't have to... sigh...
Well, have a baby to work on now... a 'huge' project (in my opinion)... Hopefully that one won't give me too much trouble!
Going to ZzzZ now... I'm bushed..

So far so good....
Today's the first day at work! So far so good... Phew!
Even though I came home at about 9ish, even later than my 'other' first day at work a few weeks back... everything that happened at work seems exciting and fun so far! Note... SO FAR.... Already have a couple of events on my plate but those events are planned for already, 80%... I've only got to do the execution...
Anyway, looking forward to the rest to come for now! hehe...
The weekend has also been fun. Rob recovered from his food poisoning pretty well, which was good. Because... if he didn't, I would have turned into a big fat grouchy monster because I was so darn bored cooped up at home! Yeah.. felt guilty for feeling that way but it was afterall my last weekend before I'm tied down for all my weekends henceforth... Oh well...
Heheh... Robbie bought new toys when we made a trip down to Sim Lim. It started with a Casio Exilim Z50...
Hehe... Which of course landed up with me for now... because it's a new toy!
And the very next day, he went down to buy a View Sonic 19-inch LCD monitor for his room...
So he's one big happy baby now... Hehe...
I'm so tired... Got to go get some planning done for some of the stuff... Will update again! :)

Hail Restlessness...
And this exemplifies my restlessness...
Heh, yups... I did one of those quizzes...
Well, not that I do not do quizzes at all.... But firstly, this hardly counts as a quiz cuz I din have to answer any qustions and secondly, I hardly do them. Perhaps I should do more...
Anyway, that brings me back to my restlessness. I guess it's coming to the peak of non-activity for too long and I"m restless beyond words. I've been cooped up at home for too long! Aside from the last couple of blog entries going on and on about how bored I am, I really am BORED!
Guess what I just did...
At 3.00am in the morning on a fateful early Sunday morn... I boiled a corn in water, and had it in the good old school way, with butter and salt! Well, HELLO to high blood pressure and fats! I'm not even hungry... Just bored... looking for things to do, and munch... Not to mention that sleeping so much today made it difficult to sleep now...
While cooking my corn, I brought out my favourite childhood story book (yeah, I still keep them... good old Enid Blytons...) and started reading... "The children of Cherry Tree Farm". Tell me how bored I am...
But hey! I like reading Enid Blyton.. Anytime. Even now.. at my age.. I love fairytales. So many times, I've wanted to just sit my ass in Popular bookshop and feast through the galore of Enid Blyton books there. There's so many more books to the collection now... and so many that I've not read before. But those were the good old says... Mr Mischief, Famous Five, Faraway tree, Mr Pink Whistle, Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys, Amelia Jane, Naughtiest Girl in School and so many more!!
Heh, speaking of which, I've just added a whole chunk of links to other bloggers' blogs... Found them interesting while surfing other blogs and decided to link them up just for my convenience... hehe..
Alrightey, am going to read a little more of Cherry Tree Farm till I feel sleepy... This can't go on... My biological clock's going haywire... I need to sleep early... I'm starting work next week!
Your Birthdate: December 26 |
Your birth on the 26th day of the month (8 energy) modifies your life by increasing your capability to function and succeed in the business world. In this environment you have the skills to work very well with others thanks to the 2 and 6 energies combining in this date. There is a marked increase in organizational, managerial, and administrative abilities. You are efficient and handle money very well. You're ambitious and energetic, while generally remaining cooperative and adaptable. You are conscientious and not afraid of responsibility. Generally sociable and diplomatic, you tend to use persuasion rather than force. You have a wonderful combination of being good at both the broad strokes and the fine detail; good at starting and continuing. This birthday is practical and realistic, often seeking material satisfaction. |
