15 days of CNY 2013

Here's my 15 days of CNY spent so far. Better record down cause definitely cannot remember in the near future, and this helps for recalls!!!! Oh, and I better start taking photos esp. with the girls. haha...

CNY Family Lunch
This year, we ate during lunch instead of dinner because we realised as both my brothers are married, they have to run two places during dinner... so hence, to prevent all the rush, we push to lunch instead.
At the same time, we celebrated Lucas 1 year old!!! It's supposed to be 5th Feb to be exact, but it's a weekday.
Dad bought a huge mango cheescake cake from Grand Copthorne and it fantastic! :)

We didn't go visiting this year because my er-sao was still doing her confinement. So rot at home. Damn boring...

So... last minute meetup with my girls!!! Met up at Tampines Mac for supprt and chit chat... and we really can chat!!!! Chatted till 4AM!!!!!!!! Isit we have too many things to talk or girls can just talk??? Lol...

So girls, record that we met during CNY 2013!! hehe... 

Shortly after was Valentine's Day... Didn't do much... because it's during CNY period and was busy preparing for audit stuffs...

But he surprised me with a bourquet of flowers. He's not that type... so... surprise surprise.

Went to eat fast food and watch the wedding diary 2. Movie's not bad.

Simple outing because.. take things slow ba.

Soon, weekend, BANANAS had a gathering! Gambled & drank too! My first gamble for the year!

Check out our cheena shots..... haha.. Mediacorp can take this. haha...

That pretty much sum up the CNY....

Bloggin away during lunch cause I can't find free time!!!! Two audits clashed.... and I have catchup lessons which burn my whole weekend!!! Boo!!!!

No 2H meetup for CNY... Why... Haiz... So much so for 12 years of friendship. Seriously? 

Snake Year

It's a brand new year. Snake year.
But the most boring CNY i ever had.
Firstly, no visiting except for Godma's place. cause family is busy taking care of new born Velda, and my dad's leaving for China tomorrow.
So.. I'm gonna be all alone.
Just don't like the raining bit cause I can't go out and run!!! I'm so freaking bored.
Luckily tomorrow the gym is open. *phew*.

Well, this snake year... some say 86 tiger is good, some say bad. What say you?
I hope it will be smooth sailing...
For a start, some of you may have known... I've moved on.
I have decided not to wait anymore, and just start brand new.
Taking things very slowly, cause I'm still not very optimistic. haha.
But he understands.
Hopefully.... this works.  *cross fingers*

This Feb will pass fast too cause audit is right after CNY. and I'm so gonna get busy again.
And...... resuming my ACCA again. This time round, I'm gonna try my luck and take 3 papers.
Although Mr. Pig says I won't have time to take 3 papers and do OT and catch up with friends. hmm....

But I wanna get over and done with so that I can leave!!!! oh yeah. that's a huge motivation. :)
Oh wells, I have 2 more days to think thoroughly ..

Happy Lunar New Year to all!!!
May this year be bountiful and properous!!!

Taipei 2013

Exciting January went with crazy closings and then shoo! Off we went to Taipei for a week.
Had our 2012 incentive plus 2013 kick off meeting at the luxurious W Taipei.
It was premium atas!
Slightly better than the Langham Place in HongKong. It could fit in 4 people in a room, but we had 2 people each. :)

Had an eventful meeting as well as a half a day amazing race around Taipei, and boy it was tight! half day travel up and down and doing all sorts of weird stuff which we never done it before and didn't know where those places were... Plus that day was the coldest of all! 10% and raining... gosh. I was trembling when it rained.

I believed all of us had fun, and in the evening we went to Taipei 101 top restaurant for our company dinner. Food was mediocre but the view was fantastic. We had our ex FD who came as well as GOH. :)
Kinda missed him. and he brought 3 lucky draws gifts to us! 1 CARTIER, 1 MONT BLANC, 1 DUNHILL!!!! We were all drooling man. Sadly I didn't get the gift. Shit. haha...
He promised me to give a gift if I go over again! hahaha... we shall see....

The company trip ended with a Yilan tour plus hot spring which is breath taking. Beautiful scenery.
Hot spring in such a cold weather... what else can i say but fab!

After the company trip, most of us extended our stay and we went tracking near the mountain and seeing waterfalls. :) Nice experience. Weather was good and flowers astart to blossom.
Went places like Wulai falls, jiu fen, shi fen, and Mao Kong (Cable car).

Another good news to start the year is my niece is born!!!! Second's brother little dragon girl.
Both my brother I realised, have very good forecasting accuracy. One aimed just right at the start of the Dragon year, while the other, at the dragon tail.
Velda Lim, born 15th January 2012, same as my mum's birthday, sweet lil girl. :)
Shall upload picture soon!

See ya!

The beginning

After two weekends of burning at e office, I finally had time to clean up my house and properly drink a coffee and chill. That's what I'm doing now at city hall J.Co. :)
Reading books and surfing net and looking at people passing by. That's simple happiness for me.
2013 started with a big bang with lots of happenings in e office.

First being Abbott has finally split into 2 officially and globally.
The new proprietary product company, Abbvie, will stand as its own entity.
Established products will still remain as Abbott.
Abbott host finance will continue to provide services to them for 2 years though.
This means... 2 closings, 2 tax computations, 2 audits.
Felt a sense of accomplishment because I was privileged to be part of the separation project, which u hardly get such projects. I mean, not every company will do that so.. situations were all new and experimental. The wee hours of concalls and coming up with procedures wasn't for nought.

This year, another big project is up and I'm glad I'm in it as well. Another huge time.will go to that also.

Another big announcement is that my reporting manager is leaving us. She has taught me alot and am very grateful for her. Sadly, she will leave this team which has been groomed by her.
Decisions for me will need to be made as well...
Dunno what I should do and can't really discuss with anyone since even my bro is not expert to finance.

Not too Sure if I should take up 2modules at one shot this sem with external and internal audit coming up in Feb and mar. This means no taking of leave for this two months. dunno if I can cope.

Am continuing my dance lessons as well which I'm loving it!
Been chilling out with this guy at dance who is 6 years my senior. he makes sense whenever I have problems so that y I kinda like talking to him. But he's kinda ego. Probably That's because he's a background and stayed in Aussie for awhile. Likes to speed in his Volkswagen sportscar. Super rolleye.

Leaving for Taipei next week so definitely gonna meetup ex FD. So called my God father. Haha.

January gonna pass in a blur. Half passed with torturing closing, ending with holiday and setting goals.
Gonna meetup my dearies after I come back cause it's been a long time since I saw them!
Gonna try catching my long over due meetup with lost friends!

two O one three

HAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME 2013!!!
*Free hugs to everyone*

It was my first time squeezing to Marina Bay and countdown together and watch the beautiful fireworks.
Despite the rain. Carrying brolly and sitting there to "chope" our seats because we had 14 people.
During the fireworks, my mind recalled the good and bad in 2012, although more bad, but it has shaped me to be a better person, a stronger person.

oh, then after that, we changed spots and sat near the MBS entrance, in front of Avalon, playing games and drinking.
That time was hilarious. We saw many funny stuffs. While playing, we saw couple kissing passionately, it's like watching a movie. HAHAHAHA...
I saw an indian man being dragged out of MBS, all the way to main street. Super dead drunk and quite big size too. Poor friends. LOL.
One ang moh lady drunk and 3 security guards was with her! not bad eh?! Think she went drinking alone i suppose?
A few good fellas came to help her cause the security guards were guys so cannot carry her. But the drunk lady suddenly became awake and scolded the good people and walked off. Apparently, she suddenly didn't become drunk like that. haha... But the security guard were still nice to follow her even out of MBS.

Went home ard 4.30am and slept like a log. Only woke up at 11am.

Oh well, am at work now. Yes. What a way to start 2013. But it's okay, bitter now and enjoy sweetness later. :)

Meeting a friend for dinner later. My first date for 2013! haha... just wanna say something nice out of 1st day la. rather that just spending my time in the office.

This new year resolution, is to enjoy myself. :) Slow my pace, go dating!!!!! yes, I'm determined to overcome my weird habit of not dating my age. haha...

To my lovely friends, CHEERS TO 2013! CREATE YOUR AMAZING 2013. Only you control your future. Take your chance!

Yours Truely.

Emotional Christmas Reflection

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are enjoying this day with your friends, family and loved ones.
As for myself, I'm spending this day with myself eating self cooked food and nua-ing at home. I hardly have such a chance ok...

This very day last year, marks a significant history in my life for some of you who know.
The first and big quarrel that ended everything.
Thninking back, honestly I don't know if I should have not done that and just simply "don't care" ... then maybe things wouldn't be so bad.
Till today, I still can't figure out.
But, what's over is over. Trying also no use. And today's me, I have taken a slightly chilled approach.
Learn to let go, and don't take everything so seriously.

I'm serious! I have gone through the rest of the days taking it as a pinch of salt. Of course, when it's really serious, u must be serious la.
But when it comes to study, work or life, I used to be very"on-the-ball" and also do my very best and if I fail, I will be so sad over myself and blame myself.
But now, I will stll do my best, but if I fail at anything, I will say to myself, "Just do better next time, don't blame yourself."
Hey it works! Cause you can't be sad over everything in life, if not, it will be very tiring.
And, you only live once, so happiness is utmost important. oh, of course, health too.
Many people in this world thinks money is very important, and are always not happy over not enough money.
Self content pls.
Nothing more I can say. And that, I'm still learning. And I think that's very important. Be humble.

This Christmas, I just wanna thank everyone in my life for being supportive during this time.
I can't wait for 2012 to be over and start afresh 2013.
And to you, you seem happier and I am happy for you. Thank you for a wonderful memory despite all that has happened. I wish all the best for you.

Merry Christmas to myself, and I pray, my health will be in pink.
Please don't ask what's wrong.

Neverending Wishlist

Yea. That's the topic of the month as usual.
Wishlist.
Honestly, there's so many things you would like but ... at such times like things... I always get blanked out.
Partly because, you dunno who's gonna give you a gift, and if that person got similar taste etc.
And of course, getting a gift is a PAIN!!! Oh well, squeezing with tons of people is definitely one of them.
Cracking your head and thinking what to get from him/her is also another one.
But I do enjoy walking down the streets of Orchard Road and shopping though.
It's one of the most time in the year that I will hit the road in Orchard. and literally shop!
(cause I've shopped shopping and upgraded myself to online shopping) hee.

This week is like Orchard week. Friday down to Taka for dinner, today went to Mandarin Gallery for an impromptu brunch with mum, and tomorrow gonna shop for gifts!
It's my last weekend to buy!!!! Gosh. December seriously FLIES!!!!

I updated my wishlist to the Santa who's gonna give me a gift. But I hope we are on the same frequency. haha...

Anyway few things I want!!!!
 ***
1) Necklace for daily wear!
2) Baby G new series watch
3) Pillow (yes, i know the huh?! is coming out)
4) Inspiring books
5) Track shoes, sport attire.

And the neverending list goes on.... :)

I have so many Santas this year. ;)

Your purpose.

Today, my mum suddenly asked me a question.

"Do you know what exactly happened between papa and me?"

After 10years, you asked me this. and wanted to explain to me. Well, to me, it doesn't matter anymore. It's over already, and everyone moved on. Dad has learnt and earning his own keep.
I may think wrongly, or even fault wrongly, but telling me now doesn't change anything.
No matter what I can't change my parents right?

All of you have reasons to do something. If it makes u happy, go ahead.

I lead my life, i create the future I want, and make sure I won't follow your steps.

This saturday gonna celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. Excited and looking forward to it! :)

The $100 Startup

I have been reading this book ever since I came back form Aussie.
It's called The $100 Startup.

It's a nice readable book where it makes you think of opportunities.
Why I like this book is because it doesn't just focus on making money, doing businesses, but it's more of finding what you think is profitable, yet you will find enjoyment in what you are doing.
Something that should be giving you satisfaction, more free time, and being able to live a life you enjoy.
That's why it has the wording"Fire your boss, Do what you love and Work Less to Live more!!!"

If you have time, do try reading this book.

November is gonna be busy, with Corporate tax comp due on 30th November, interim audits starting next week, and Entity Plan due next week as well.

Best thing is, my study times gets eaten up!! Argh! I hope I won't fail though... even though... probability is extremely high for the effort i'm putting in. It's even less than half of my usual time spent!

But surprisingly, I'm not very very tensed up like before.
I think i'm learning to look at a brighter side where life is not all academic-y and striving up.

Got rejected for the Sydney posting ... sadded for awhile... but still... am still looking out. :)

After down under

G'Day!
yeap. That's what the Aussie would greet you. Localise!

2 weeks over there was amazing. Relaxed, just chilling by the parks and cafes ...
taking time to breathe the fresh air and reading motivating books.
I would say this trip is an absolute refresher for me.
Not like those in HK/BKK where you keep shopping and get tired, this is not. No shopping, just sightseeing and taking your time in everything. Well, that's what you get in Australia.
Everything is slow pace.. which is good. Work-life balance.

Crossing my fingers *** for you know what *** :)

I shall enjoy every moment in life cause you live once. Make it great, make it happy for yourself. Not for others. :):):)

Loves,
Koala.

(and, of course, that's my favourite)

A new image

Finally a new template to get started.
Decided to just use Blogger's templates since they have updated their styles recently.
Used a simple one. No need so complicated right? What matters is the content. haha.

One problem is ... I cannot link to other blogs... dunno how to. shit. haha.

Let me figure out soon.

两个人相爱 但不能在一起。
会有这样事情吗？

A day of tears

23rd September 2012.
Supposed to be a perfect day.
Mum went on to talk about it.
I just listened and tried to control but I failed in the end.
Worse part is.. U want us to  be back together again and still want him as a perfect son-in-law.
and u will not want any one else.
So, that leaves me with ????
Emotionally upset. I read our memories. I watched the video again.

It is clawing back to me, to 9months back again.
How long more to heal back.....

strength, courage. please.

What I like to do.

Love to take a stroll.by the park/beach/ sentosa..
Keeps my mind refreshed and away from.busy city.
If I could... staycation!

Think That's e result of Working like hell... frequent breaks in between.

Rain

Rain. kinda hate rain nowadays. Makes me emo. haha.
No comfort.

My pre birthday wish.

If I could be greedy - my pre birthday wish pls.
See fireworks! Makes me awww....
I want... and miss... romantic moments.....
Time to change. New necklace.

Well.
I. Want.to.restart.my.life.

Bangkok

4 days of bangkok retreat.
Been walking n walking. Didn't bought much stuff. When u shop for one, u definitely buy less things. But somehow... tend to see some nice things.. n realise u can't buy. Cause no one to give. And u just stop shortly. Happened many times to me.
Sometimes send moments just take u back to where u were before.

If I remember correctly... I just took once with him. N. That's it. Right.

Mirror images

Sometimes as u walk along e street, do u see images or action that u have done or pass through before?
I do.
And I often get these.
Seeing others doing through those actions, sweet.
And u knowu been through. And suddenly u get emotional. And all the if onlys starts coming to your mind.
Signs off...

Love yourself

This sentence often comes out and your probably heard it.
You cannot please everyone.
Very true.
Someone reminded me this. But I always have this bad habit... thinking about everyone of what they will think. Make sure everyone happy.
Ended up. Try too hard. Make yourself sad.
So... love yourself first.
Tough eh. It's tough for me.
But I'm learning... learning to love myself more and let go.
Ya. I think alot. Really alot.
Can't help it. Haha.

Doesn't matter where u r now, what stage u are going through in your life, create a better one.
Create your own life that you want.
Some philosopher told me. Haha.

You.know what?
I'm gonna create mine. Sweet nice simple and as usual romantic. But this time... with excitements in social life. :)

Had a good news yesterday from my family...
Accepted the fact that I'm probably e only problem in the family. The only worry. Haha.
But appreciate what events in life can change your attitude and perception towards life.
The things u can do for the ones you love.
Will definitely work hard for my future family if I will have one.
So much so for studying n studying n studying. Haha...

I hope I can sleep throughout e night today

Smile.
Smile.
Smile.
The sun will still rise even if you are sad.
Get moving with life.

I'm a mind bogger.
I just pray for your health, happiness.

:(
i wanna cry.

Stupid Me

Why do I always make myself upset by watching and seeing news of people getting married/ the express highlights...
dumbass.

不去在乎 就没事了啊。
不去想 也没事了啊。
但明明做不到。
该死的我。

Food Marathon

Can't believe I ate so much today!
Enough to feed me 2 days! Definitely hitting e gym next week daily...
Guilty.
Mookata BBQ. Tea. Dessert. J.co. OMG.

On a random note, ever wanna try something out of e norm?
We all live in a cycle - child, study, teenage, young adult, working, finding a partner, to settling down and have a family... And this goes on.
Ever thought what's your purpose in life?
I dunno what's mine. And I always wonder all e what ifs .. Options in life u take.
So, I thought to myself, live life once, so I'm gonna take options that I never tried.
First is social dancing.
Then, diving and explore options I never thought I would do.
Sky dive!!! Well if I can find along my trip :)
Speed dating!!! Lol...
Leave e country and road trip for a year is one big leap that I'm tempting....

Well, what's your life outside e comfort zone?

Everything's gonna be just fine

Sleepless night.
Pray everything's alright.
Stop thinking negatively.
Right?

Bad to Worse

Breathing has become from bad to worse these few days.
Went for run on Thursday - No good.
Decided to run on Sunday. No good still.
Tried to run today again. Finally made a 5km successfully without stopping but breathing still bad.
Am determined to keep running to fight against this..... even though, i'm afraid i'll collapse halfway....

This problem will forever be a liability and never go away. :(

Baby Lucas - 4 months

Been 2 weeks since I last saw baby!
He cried when i carried him :(
But luckily after that he stopped *phe* and of course started laughing cause he remembered! :):):)

Have you ever...

I really dunno why i'm so upset.
Will you mind someone's past?
to what extent will you then mind?
Ever thought what would your future be and the consequences if you have done something?
Are you not worried if one day someone will actually mind your past?
Have you regret what you have done?
IF your frequently done something, will you stop once and for all? Are you able to do it?

I don't want empty promises. empty promises that one day, you just give up everything.

i'm... god damn afraid. seriously.
i think i should just let go.
time for you to earn it. time to show what you really want.
i'm not going to wait.

THE END

HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY........

Jan zip like a pass

The financial year end closing finally came to a close. Working till midnight to entertain US people; working on Sunday to send reports on due on that day.
Seriously wonder if i'm underpaid. lol.
New year started with spending more time at ECP enjoying the breeze and chit chatting till dawn and watching sunrise.
It's been a long time since I last did that. :):):)

Shall do it sometime again soon.. Escape from the hectic city lifestyle.

I have only set 1 resolution this year, as of now.
Maximum 2 day of OT per week ONLY!!! No more extras!

Christmas Aftermath

I've got to admit I'm not as young and happening as before. 2 days of late night sleeping and partying, the next day I spent my whole day sleeping till 3pm.
Gosh! First time sleeping till so late!

Christmas eve eve had a party at my place with some colleagues + frens.
Just 6 of us, drinking all night long. It was bad. vomited. haha... All because of the last 11 shots.
No more of such things.

Headed to Ann's place for BBQ night & had lots of fun!!!
I think the highlight of the night was Ann getting Ben's present - The REAL shower head!!! lol...
Fainted man!!

The guy + girls

the irresistable gays' affection

Think it will be joke of the year man!

Having a family gathering tonight - food again. haha.. gotta slim down and go gym after this...

This Christmas is one that I probably will not forget.
Finally had another first. First of many?
Well, shattering.

Remember to make your Resolutions!!! :)

Merry Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas!!!
Spent most of my time sleeping away. Gee... How exciting!
I think I slept for 12 hours...

Wishing all my friends and family good health always!

I pray for health, peace, and joy!!!

No gifts are needed, nor expensive things
Just hanging out with your loved ones is the best.
Nothing else matters.

Future?

Sian.
Damn sian.
Dunno why...
Maybe...

midnight blues

Tell me why am I still in the office when everyone's enjoying their breaks??!!!
Gosh! Seriously thought this week will be a breeze but hell no. Those who are still in office will spend these time to chase backlog and do those low priority projects.... Argh...

And up to today, i'm not done with my presents!!! Faint!

Must definitely go buy tomorrow. Last day!!!

With all the xmas givings, I have been eating chocolates almost everyday!!!! better do more exercise before the irritating lump comes out.

okies, nighties. Gotta keep my spirit up and ignore all irritating and moody issues. :)

Festive Sparkles

I always love Christmas the most cause everywhere is lit up with beautiful lightings!!!

Plus, the cold weather (minus the rain) makes it feels like winter... well... FEEL la... haha

Have not done my shopping rounds but am planning to do some rush hour grabs soon! cause i'm left with 5 days!!!

Was walking at Bugis and saw someone wearing Chanel wearing and necklace. I went online to browse but dun have!!! I think it's not sold in Singapore? Thought of treating myself to a gift after getting salary, but, suan le. Save $$$ since cannot buy.... but isn't it pretty? I dun really like Chanel la... but then, it really caught my eye..

Went to sort of celebrate my boy's birthday on last Sunday at Mandarin MELT buffet. It's fabulous!!! I ate lots of oysters!!!! Super fresh! It's festive season so they serve more meaty stuff like turkey. Not bad, but their seafood & desserts still rocks!

wanted to bring him to Flyer, but he didn't want cause he said we all said it's nothing nice. (so dun complain ah)... hehehe

didn't take pictures on phone, but took some polaroids. I'm looking polaroids!!! :)

Their xmas decorations

Next year is gonna be hectic, so i'm still comtemplating whether to continue my studies next year or stop for a year before I continue so that I can concentrate on my house + wedding plans for next year. hmm.... whatcha think?

Now is a more relaxed season with many colleagues going on leave, and doing new role (finally!).. less OTs for me!!!! :):):) and of cuz, that's y u see me updating here hahaha...

Next year's gonna be a good year! (i hope!)

What's in for you next year? Loves. :)

With all the changes in my dept, I wonder what's gonna happen...

More resignees?

Well, my direct boss is moving on as a financial controller.

And the current financial controller will be a project manager... Haiz....

And so, the FP&A mgr headcount will be empty, pending new one.

As for me, I still need to continue doing FP&A till the new person come then I can move over to my new role doing tax and inventory.

I think.... There will be more changes to come ba... So many ppl are shocked. Cause I tot there will be two controller... But instead.... Haiz...

Poor girl. Hopefully all goes well for her.....

Kukup Trip 16-17 July

Went for a short trip to Kukup with a roup of friends.. some are colleagues, some are unknown frens whom we got to know each other in the trip. We are all quite open and "anything" so it was easy to break the ice and had some fun.

Kukup is actually a nice place to take a break. Although very poor living condition, the place is very laid back and very very BEAUTIFUL sunset.
Our "chalet" had seaview, and our huge balcony can see the sunset. :):):)
Just amazing, because u hardly get to see the sunset unless u r uber free.

The place is like a chalet where it's double check beds, and one floor can fit up to 20 ppl. Minimum 10 to go. The owner arrange mini van transport to pick us up at singapore and go directly over there.

What i love about there is u do not have to do anything!!!! The package ($85/pax) includes transport, and 6 meals within 2D1N!!!! And they serve you! By the time you reach there is noon, so the meals starts from there.... Lunch, tea break, dinner (BBQ), supper, Breakfast, Lunch.
Seriously, you just keep eating and eating. hhaaha...

what to do? walk around the kampong, ... i like cause it's different from Singapore. The place is actually above sea level, so the houses aer built above it using bamboos etc. like fishing village. Their famous product is dried shrimp/ fish.

You can also play mahjong (there's 4 tables) and there's KTV too. So 4 of us played mahjong and the rest sing KTV taking turns. Quite good. Everyone is entertained.

Did lots of cuts for the jump pose.. it was hilarious.

After BBQ dinner, we spent quite a lot on the fireworks.. it's beautiful.. :) my fav.
After supper, we put the kong ming deng.

It's pretty relaxing and laid back lifestyle. kinda like it. not like singapore. everyone rushing here and there.

Tmr off for another trip again. Malacca! Brother's wedding over there :) .. Another excuse to go shop and eat. hehe...

Post exam review

After so long.... Decided to reblog. Haha. It's a place to speak my mind.

Exams are finally over and it's time for play!!! It's a different feeling when I was taking Fundamental papers and now, Professional paper. Stress level is high.

Hence, have decided to take things slow, enjoy the pace of life and appreciate the process. Shall be taking only 1 paper this semester, also in case if I fail la.... Haha... *choy*!

Am thinking of re igniting my love for dance and also start learning a new language. :):)

Gonna plan for lots of meetup!!! Tomorrow is my first play! 2H!!!

Loves.

Also, I have rejected the offer of a Regional role. It may be a big opportunity cost (because it's a regional role), but to me, the counter offer was something that I am looking forward. Theres a change in job scope which I wanna learn, and of course, lesser OT!!! Hahaha.... Also, of cuz, they met the terms of the other party and a promotion. To me, regional position may be a huge promotion, but right now, I dun need regional in my resume. To be able to learn other area is what I wanted.

But! I was stupid to reject a competitor opportunity. Damn! Well, forget it. Next time ba. Haha.

Sales are here but I haven got a chance to shop!!! I wanna get a polaroid!!!! And also clean up my room. I have 2 cupboard of clothes (yes. That's right) am gonna clear old clothes so that I can throw 1 cupboard and buy a study table :):):)

Okays. Time for work.

Enjoy the process of life. We only live once. Embrace and start loving yourself! :)

Oh, and I love my boy. :):):):):)

Life's gonna be good soon.... Real soon....

But it's still a long way to my torturous exam. Jun 15. Damn.

Complain queen

On my way back from gym.
Today my big boss really pissed off. Want something immediately and that task is so tedious and mafan and non value adding. Refused to do... In the end my boss do it. 
And I foresee I will be the one doing it monthly. Really think we all very free lor. Feel like throwing letter.
Go off site meeting also expect us to do presentation and area of improvement. 3-6points per person. I got two job scope so it's 6-10points... Damn it man. Should have just took the mastercard job which pays so well and only do 1/2 of my current job scope. Sian... Today really sian

My life now

Ok am trying to use notes and see if I can upload text to my blog cause I have been neglecting and underground tunnels is the best way that I have time to blog.

Since 2011, I have been busy and have no 'Me' time already cause it's spent on washing clothes, cleaning toilet, mop floor, change bedsheet, iron.. Aiya u name it I've done it.

And because of this, I have spent lesser time with bee cause I need to study too.. This year lagi jialat. Professional papers. Heard they are killers.

Btw, in case u didn't know. I passed my both papers last sem!! Woots!!! Heng man!!!

But this sem dunno got so lucky not cause heard many ppl stopped at professional papers cause they keep failing ...

Every sat got class then I have two more months to exam liao but I haven studied yet... It's damn difficult to listen attentively for 3 hours man.

Well, gotta stop here. Next stop clementi. Prays this works.

wow. guess no one will look at this blog anyways. haha. but this is just my area of anger management, and feelings inside me , that one day i will be able to see my younger days.

It chinese new year chu 3. but this year's so boring. nothing much.. haiz.
Left tomorrow's last day then back to work again.

Guess i can't quit finance industry as yet. cause everyone is against it. want me to try another year in another company and if it still doesn't work out, i can do what i like.
Well, yes, finance industry is thriving and pay is also lucrative. but, the stress level. bth. unless i join small firms ba.. no need to memorise US GAAP, IFRS, Singapore Tax rules.. i guess.. MNC just expects yr brains to remember all sorts of things. and esp. when im in analyst, they expect u to remember what was the initial planned sales number in round 1 when we have been through 4 rounds of changing numbers?
haiz. guess it's different culture ba. many ppl are quitting. and that explains itself.
definitely quitting, but just thinking wad should be my next step of "trying". Audit? MNC? different industry?
audit will be same working hours like what i'm doing now. expect to work till 12mn. OFTEN.
well, confused. take my time to think bah.

With all the holidays for the past week, think i need to work late nights to meet US deadline again. damn.

This year's gonna be exciting for me. Brother getting married. I need to start planning my future. Hoepfully, everything will go well this year.
and yup, start learning cooking. actually, i'm rather pleased with myself that I can manage cleaning the house, washing clothes, ironing, and keeping the house clean without any help. :)
kinda great achievement for me considering that it's my first time in my life doing all the chores myself. *claps* :):):)
I wanna be a "can go in kitchen, can go out living room" woman. (chinese direct translation) hehehe...

Valentine's day coming... i have no ideas!!! i'm so gonna die. :(

Happy New Year all! Let's jiayou for 2011!!!!

New Year, New Resolution

Happy 2011 everyone!
What's your resolution for this new year?

Haven been updating my blog, many updates not done.
But one major change is my maid is leaving permanently this coming thursday.
cause her mum passed away.
she didn't get to see her for the past 18 yrs...
haiz...
feeling very down despite her nagging at me everyday..
i won't deny i miss her very badly, and crying for the past few days.
but, no other choice.
time to learn household chores by myself, and take care of myself.
i dunno how to face this coming thursday seeing her off..
This new year didn't start very well definitely.

Shall think about my resolution soon.

My Last Post.....be4 exams. And Wishlist!

Boo!
Haha... This is gonna be the one and only post before I go for boot camp studying for my exams in Dec.
Took quite a number of days leave just to study.
Decided to blog cause so long didn't blog and i sort of have nothing to do now, just waiting for my colleague..
Well, this month is pretty hectic. many bday celebrations... Linx was over....
Last weekend my. bf randomly brought me to sentosa to watch the fireworks.. :):):) ... and that one the only time i spent with him for the last weekend...
tomorrow will be my 2 colleagues bday which we will be going for steamboat at bugis.

After which, i will be on leave for the wole week!!! MUG MUG MUG!

hmm, just now wahile shopping for my colleague's gift, was walking along vivo.. the xmas tree is pretty!! the shopping mall is up with deco.. haiz.. i wish for xmas to come!!!!!
Festive season!!! 2011 is coming!!! hahaha....
Time to go shopping! cause i miss shopping... haven been going for a walk for a very long time...

Oh, talking about that. hehe.... My wishlist for Christmas!!! i know it's early lar... but prepare u all mah... cannot meh? Or can also be "post exam gift" mah... hehehe...
No lar, was actually reading one of the mag and it caught my eye. Think of getting a training watch. It can help monitor your heart rate, measure your speed/performance which i think i should get one since I now often go running, plus the fact that my resolution will include running 10km-thon. :D:D
That's my goal... hehehe... Standard Chartered Marathon.

The polar watches are the ones that really quite good and has a lot of features... was seeing their webby and i got too many choices... thinking which one i should get.. though i dunno how much would one cost. Seriously, i think i'm gonna get one so that i know if i'm burning fat or improving performance.

Hmm, wanna get bag!!!!!! shoe!!!!! hehe... oh oh oh... camera!!! hahhaha... ok, i think i'm just stating everything i can think of.

maybe while i suddenly think of something then i will write ba.. hahaha...
Not to worry, my wishlist will not be empty!

OH! I wanna go Margaritas and try their food!!!.....

See ya soon!!!!

Reflection

Someone woke me up from my mental state yesterday.
He was worried I may end up in depression.
I lied down and started thinking about myself.
The truth is, yes... i think alot. i worry alot of things that sometimes, it's beyond my control. I worry things that might happen months way ahead.
haha..
I know this is something i need to change. But it really takes time.
All my life since my family separated, I knew i had to stand up alone and be independent.
that's when i start to think alot.. and to push myself to the limits.
I can't stop. cause i already took a break of 2 yrs after JC.
But maybe, it's really time to just rest abit.
The reason why i hit the roof yesterday was probably because of many factors.
My leadership growth plan that i did last week, gave me alot of stings.
My boss commented that i am doing perfectly well, but she expects more because she thinks i can reach further.
There's a section of what's my career interest. That took me 3hrs to think about.
and of course, i still have my exam to worry about. honesty, i just pray i can get 50marks.
2 more weeks is my mock exam.

I guess i might need to take things slightly slower. better go for yoga lessons instead.

thanks mr. honeybee. for waking me up from all my problems. and lending yr shoulders whenever i'm down.

1 more month. and that's it.

i think i'm super reluctant to type my free days. cause.. I HAVE NO MORE FREE DAYS!!!

I have warehouse count this coming weekend.
next week got extra classes...
and by then it's end of the month, and guess wad? My mock exams is on 9th Nov. and 12th Nov.
Super not good.
Haven even study.
honestly, i really dun wanna fail. and really wanna do well... but Time is not on my side.
Often have to work late... not because i want to. but... u cannot don't work ot in here. u will never get your reports out by then. and they will screw u using emails.

Well, this is a super emo post. so might wanna cross it out if it affects yr mood.
:(:(:(
i dunno why. somehow i feel that there's alot of pressure on passing this stupid acca thing. cause alot of my colleagues sayd that it's damn difficult to pass. and the fact is, only 46% pass tax. one of the most challenging papers.
i kinda feel that everyone is waiting for me to fail. cause i'm the youngest. hahaha.
plus, these few days i made some errors in my report... and everyone was like shooting emails here and there at night while i went to study....
and i missed one of the deadline. argh. damn shit.
although i try and stay nonchalent, but deep down, i'm just pissed off with myself. haiz.
getting up at 6.30am and finishing the day at 1230am doesn't seem easy anymore.
just mentally drained.
but what to do. Accountant life eh.
Going to PWC also the same i guess.

ok, here you go. my calendar for the month of Oct.

9 Oct (Sat) - Class till 5pm
10 Oct(Sun) - class till 1pm
16th Oct (Sat) - Annual Stock Count
23th Oct (Sat) - Event (Tentative)
24th Oct (Sun) Class till 1pm.

:(:( This month's not a good month to look forward.
no hols. no break.
