These past few days the weather was very hot!!! It forces us to hide inside air-con room, which makes our skin dry, and so does our throat. I have a bit of sore throat now. One of my colleagues is taking MC today. Didn't see any symptoms of flu on him yesterday but he'll be taking long leave this weekend.

Kinda upset with it but I have just to keep remind myself that despite the hot weather, despite the busy schedule of working and studying, I must KEEP FIT!!!

Exam is coming in less than one month's time. And there is a very important event to go next Monday!!! The more I have to KEEP FIT!!! I really hope I can attend the event healthily and overcome the process smoothly. Hope I can make it!

Well.. Kinda busy and short month, plus need of exam preparation. Hope I won't lose the spirit and able to study and concentrate fully to the subject.

Take care of your health everyone! As in Buddhism, it's said 'health is the biggest wealth of the human being'. Have a great day!

7 May 2011

Today it's the first day of revision. So far so good. The teacher revised the inverstment appraisal, connected with other topics. 6 hours drilled in 2 session. Thanks to the coffee and breakfast eaten before going to the class :D

Tomorrow will be second day. Need to browse through the topic and get myself ready before he revised it tomorrow.

Just now, before heading to take MRT, I stopped by at crystal shop. Ar first I saw the heart shape of gold rutile pendent. Since tomorrow is mother's day, I thought of buying my mom something. Then I asked if there are other models available. After looking for few, I asked the seller, what is this for? He said, it's to make the mind clear during work, study, good for lung, career, and wealth as well. Then I was thinking that this is more suitable for my father and myself since my mom is not working.

I wanted to buy this gold rutile since long time ago but I haven't found any that is nice and suitable for me. Just nice I found 1 that is in bigger size (for my dad) and another one more girly type for myself :) Since it's mother's day, the shop gave 20% discount, and I was asking a slightly lower price. Anyway, she quoted me a price which I think reasonable for the goods that I bought. I felt so happy to find these two items. Because I believe that you need a fate or affinity when you buy a crystal. So I bought it with no hesitation.

It would be my first gift for him, hope he likes it.

Sorry Mom, I still can't find a suitable one for you yet. Hope you don't mind. I will still love you and respect you forever :) Hope one day I can buy something for you that you will like it as well :)

Happy Mother's Day Mum!!!

Today it's polling day as well!! Now I'm on the way to give my vote to the future government. Whatever the result is, just hope Singapore will always be a safe and peaceful country and good place to stay for everyone!!!

First time joining the rally!!!

2 days ago my colleague and I were discussing on who we'll vote during upcoming election. She then said that she attended the WP rally nearby her house last weekend. It was actually interesting to listen what the candidates said in their speech. I went online and listened on the speech during night time before sleep.

The PAP and opposition party were addressing issues and it was like question and answers session. They would react and give their comments on what the other party said about them.

So I was thinking to attend one of the rallies, listening to the party that I have interest at. So we decided to go to the rallies together after work.

We took bus to Ubi area. It was slightly jam when we almost there. We dropped off the bus at one stop before the exact bus stop and walked together with other passengers too (same supporters... Kekeekkee...)

It was raining before that. And the rally was held in the open grass area. The soil was wet and muddy. Although they tried to put a white cover on top of the grass, the soil was just too soft and our feet still landed deeply into soil and wet. However all of us were still walking through it and standing there, listening the speech with wet and dirty feet.

Slowly people was coming and filled the area. Some were cleverer by going to the nearest HDB block, watched and listened to the speech from upper floor (why I didn't think of that??? First experience ba! Hahahaaha...)

It wa drizzling a bit, lucky no rain. The candidates were giving their speech, talking about their goal, aspirations, etc. If they were elected and why people must vote them. They spoke in different languages, with different style of giving speech.

It's really different with PAP candidates. Just saw two young PAP candidates giving their speech and opinion to public. It was... Questionable on their capability to handle the public interest, really. Some were young and inexperience and didn't get the whole picture and had a very little knowledge on what problems that Singaporean are really facing.

It's very different with what the opposition thinks. The opposition candidates are sincere and giving their heart and effort, try to help addressing the problem that community faces.

Too bad my area is now no more under WP. Although I don't move my house,but yet we are now under different GRC from previous election. No explanation given on why they changed it in such way, anyway... Tomorrow is the polling day and today is the cooling off day. Let's think carefully which party we should choose for better future!!!

Celebrating 2-Year Anniversary working at SMC :)

Up to today, I've gone through 24 times of stock-taking work in this company :) Within 2 years I've learnt quite lots of new things, facing lots of ups and downs of working world, facing different types and characters of human beings, even going through the time where people came and went out of this company.

Just happened today is my friend's last day of part-time job. After doing my work, we went to one of the property's outlet to have dinner. Previously, my colleague, who in charges of its kitchen, had asked me if I had my dinner there. But during my 2 years here, I hadn't stepped into his outlet yet. Yes, I went for dinner there before, but it was during my previous job. I went to the outlet every month too, but to do stocktaking, not to have dinner, enjoy and relaxing or whatsoever.

So my friend and I decided to have dinner there. The Chef decided on our menu and we just sat and enjoyed our food.

They served hot bread with two kinds of butter as the opening. Fruits and avocado salad as the appetizer. Followed with special beef satay Pizza that was not inside the menu, and Beef tenderloin served with potato and sauteed vegetables. I ordered a glass od Mouton Cadet Rouge to match the Beef while my friend ordered a Pussy Foot Mocktail. As a dessert, she ordered Mud Pie and we shared all the food together.

We chit chatted and watched TV (the wedding of Prince William and Kate) while enjoying our food. It's great feeling when after a day of work, you sat down, ate and drink, and talked about anything with your good friend.

Overall the food was good, it's only that when I saw the ingredients, I felt very familiar as sometimes I had to cover my colleague's duty doing receiving goods from supplier and received those ingredients on a daily basis. I did their menu costing too. And I know all the staffs there. Hahahaha... Kinda like no privacy as everyone who dropped by there would see me there and they knew I was having my dinner there. Hahahaha....

Anyway, I didn't think much while eating. Just enjoy the moment :)

It's supposed to be a long weekend, but unfortunately, for those who work in finance must somehow go back to work and prepare for the month-end closing. I need to go back tomorrow to post the invoices and also to clear up some issues. Or maybe I would just go back to work next Monday (supposed to be the holiday). Maybe Monday ba?? No obligation anyway, as long as I can finish my work on time... See how ba!!

Time flies very fast. When I worked here for the first time, I worked here for about 2.5 years before moving on to another company. And now, it's 2 years already for my second post!!! Will that mean I would change my job in another 6 mths??? Kekeke... Let the flow goes ba.. Shun qi zi ran...

This month, lots of colleagues who had been working here for a long time, decided to move on to a new career or for another new life back to their hometown. It's kinda sad that mgmt didn't do anything or put any effort to retain them. Is it the fault of the management? Or is it just the nature of life??? I think we all know what the answer is...

Well, reach home soon.. Enjoy your long weekend everyone! Have a good night!!! :)

I need to go on DIETTTTT!!!!!

Have been overeating since last week... Haiz... Didn't realise it until my colleague was asking me if I gained so much weight... Hiks...

I keep wearing those bigger size clothes these past few days to make myself more comfortable. Need to lose some kilos!!! Hiks...

Didn't realise I have been drinking ice cold drinks (beer and other drinks), munching on candies in the office, chocolate bars, and so on..) Hiks... And no exercise.

I also had few varieties food during lunch, sometimes went for second or third round. The food in canteen has been better with so many choices to choose... And I need to keep reminding myself that it's enough!

Yesterday night after dinner, I was craving durian. My hubby went out and bought 4 durians back honme. I opened 3 and ate most of it. Hahahahahhaa..... Long time never ate mah.... :P So many excuses!!!

Well, hope I can control slowly...

It's raining now. Yesterday afternoon it was very hot. The weather has really gone headwire...

Ok, write 'til here. Gonna walk for a while before starting my work again. Jia you!!!
