Check out this yearly Christmas pdt by Watson -- Doggie soft toy which has been my favourite for many years.. 3 main reasons: it's affordable (S$9.95), super comfortable to hug (towel material) and super cute!! It gives u the innocent look that u can't resist..! Comes in light blue, pink and light brown. Good gift too.. =)

Had a nice mani+pedi today.. tempted to get the package or membership next round.. now i wondering what impression the school teachers i meeting this month will have of me haha..
Realise i should dye my hair now so that by Jan would have faded =)

Temasek Sec School: Nice environment eh?

I'm really getting a bit frustrated carrying this laptop ard everyday.. having backache liao.. but on my way home, told myself i cannot complain. No matter how stress or difficult things are, i cannot complain. God has blessed me with a good job so at least for now i should be thankful and do my best hehe :) Hopefully (praying that) by Friday i dun need to bring my laptop to work anymore... the desktop need to have it's "skeleton" purchased -- the Microsoft Office.

Nothing much to blog.. wanted to put the christmas tree photo but dun wanna to be suan by someone tat my photography skills not good.. it's the phone camera fault la.. satisfied? kekeke :P

Feel free to check out www.3dclassworks.com.. any updates from here would mostly done by ME... Once again should be grateful to NUS that i know some basic html? haha.. no la those cross-fac modules (like intro to computing) are chosen by me so everything happens for a reason and with a purpose. i realise i'm really the 'bao ka liao' in the company.. cos i teach solidworks, plan curriculum, go for meetings with the schools every other day (sales), do graphic design (posters/brochures/logos just name it), update website, video editing, ppt presentation etc etc.. i'm indispensible at this moment.. can't even fall sick or take leave esp starting next year..

Had to urge to dye my hair bright red again BUT just remembered i'm going to be half a teacher in Sec Schools so doubt it'll be appropriate.. hai see how bah maybe just half-obvious streaks of highlight bah.. Still can't believe rite i gg to be a teacher.. TRAINER to be specific. have to understand what the kids are interested in nowadays in order to get their attention and interest.. not easy hor? got age gap liao.... =)

Another sumptuous dinner today at Gene's place.. had a fun time of UNO (alex choh bought a new set which is different version of UNO). Buddy seems tired today and need a bath haha.. Thanks Juan and Bea for cooking and Gene for the washing up again cos whole house so oily.. hm maybe someday when i free i make some dishes or dessert? haha.. yea and Gene sacrificed the piggy nailclipper to give me! so cute..

Today a small interesting incident happened on the way to gene's place.. i was wearing the shimmering jacket (the "881" one) when i alighted from the bus, a young boy turned to me, ignoring the mum and brother walking in front, said to me: "你的衣服很美, 可以看到很多 rainbow" haha.. so cute and funny that i smiled to myself cos it so innocent and heart warming.. boosted my self confidence a little bit too after a long tired day hehe.. thinking back, it's like God sending an angel to tell me i'm beautiful in His sight.. =)

Things are getting exciting and intense..thinking back, shifting to JW is really quite small fish compared to our past few yearly shifts to Hall 1..

Back home early today.. only ate the first meal at 5.30pm..
Logis having training in JW so kakis not free haha.. Gene still owe me a piggy nailclipper haha! Comms things should be more or less settled but i need to go down set up..anyone wanna accompany me? haha.. Comms should be happy to have sisters (who are more C) in the Dept.. REALLY. haha.. yep cos jean is doing a gd job =)

Anyway.. Thanks 4S2 leaders (Zhen, Ray, Kris, Nat, Joelle, Liting, Mikhail too) and fellow ushers for the farewell card and gift.. thanks for the friendship and serving together in this short 4 months. Take care everyone and i will surely come back visit u all..

Last but not least.. today i received a surprise thank you card from someone.. really very touched. WB, seriously it was the least i could do as a friend but ultimately the decision was yours.. glad u made the right choice and thanks for being cab buddy! haha.. it's great to have church frens staying near ur place u know haha.. Uncle Jer 'promised' some supper fellowship and catching up since didn't share with us the last round. So.. supper it shall be! make him drive his "xiao ying" (small silver suzuki) yea...

Feeling the flu liao.. mind not too clear.. i just drew money at bugis but when i reached my house bus stop i went to the atm again then realise i already done so haha... jialat..

Somebody go holiday for 3 wks leave the car there quite wasted :P haha but i know la..
Disclaimer: Can only be driven by owner only.. haha

Next wk onwards my work will be more busy and stressful cos the big project tat starts in Jan will be mean that i need to go down to the school to train for 8-16 hrs every wk!! Xiong ah! with the waking early and tokking energy needed.. tat's just one school leh... There are still other schools showing interest. But on the other hand there's additional training allowance which may amount to max $500 a month i think...

Yest was Ade's Bday.. think she was quite happy having spent it with the 3 pretty gals at KTV haha.. our favourite (but ex) past time :P


Have you ever used a 24"flat screen desktop monitor?? haha... I'm looking right into it now.

It's so big tat if i have to look at the extreme right side of the screen, i need to turn my head at least 30 degrees to see it.. Yep it's sponsored by HP for my company's exhibition tml and thurs.. Too bad not gg to be mine.. But it's gd enough i have a HP xw4550 workstation given to me in the office.. powerful.

Today was the last grp duty i had in expo and it was quite an exciting H1 duty cos laid chairs and even laid at the most unusual time haha.. Though vomited some blood but was generally good.. plus having to convert hall after svc.. was a long day. Would miss ushering with da ge Gene.. I remember the very first time i usher in JW, i was thrown alone to do S2! The biggest zone in JW B4 auditorium leh.. imagine as a brand new usher. I vividly remember -- it was Gene who kindly told me discreetly to stand up during offering (after everyone stood up le) cos i was quite lost.. Tat "kind act" left a deep impression in my ushering life that i learnt to treat ushers nicely yet be firm in getting things done. =)

Serene's birthday today. Went out with the small sisters (xiao mei mei) for dinner and pool.. Think she's super happy today cia.. and i realise the difference in spending power.. no offense to students but no choice lo haha.. tat's why i prefer working life. Some photos taken..

Friday, November 16, 2007

Praise the Lord! Finally my own table is here this morning! I can bring all my stationery holder, tissue box etc liao haha.. AND...
Hewlett Packard (HP) has decided to give my company a free HP desktop!! I choose to believe that cos i'm in the company tat's why we are blessed haha.. Cos good thing we didn't order the laptop or desktop previously, saved my company a few thousand dollars leh.. =)
This wk and next wk would be quite hectic with the exhibition at RP (work) and the JW (usher) things to settle..

As mentioned, Cineleisure (esp Hong Kong cafe at wee hours) is a popular place where u sure to bump into some CHC ppl. Not only bump into chc ppl.. yest bump into my gd frens wahah.. jeff shirley matt. So here's the photo taken..

Photographer: Joyce

With bday boy

Wanxiu was snapping away the whole dinner with his many facial expressions. The cake surprise at fish & co wasn't tat surprising after all, just tat florence was a 'victim' over the phone to be 'cut off' halfway thru haha..

oh wow i realise my sis is gg india next wk for charity work for one whole month!! Here's the blog they set up http://projectmaya2007.blogspot.com. If you notice, soo eng is gg too.. ya she knows my sis cos in NIE. They are selling self-made postcards (photos+ quotes) @ 8 for $10 and i think Tshirts to raise funds and help the kids there.. Anyone interested pls let me know =)

Today is one of the most tired days of work cos went to many places collecting and buying stuff for work.. we gonna have an exhibition booth next wk at RP for 2 days so need to settle the logistical items. Think it's good that i have resourceful contacts for printing posters and even buying cloth..

As many of u may have known by now.. it's hard for me to buy clothes.. normal S is too big for me, not to mention free sizes. So realise i spent quite a bit on altering my clothes (esp gifts from others) But worth it cos much more comfortable and fitting

Just finished 终极一家 Episode 24.. not even half yet cos got 55 Episodes haha.. slowly la.. i can watch on my desktop while i do work on my laptop :p Can multi-task and a super tv freak -- tat's me *grin*

Laptop's back but $130 gone ha.. backed up my stuff once again.. just in case..

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

Today is Lex's bday.. Happy Birthday!! We are still here at Gene's place now. aLan Sean they all are playing mahjong.. Really had a great dinner -- simple and nice home cooked food by Bea, Juan and Ming. Feels like a reunion dinner.. haha.
My laptop's fan area had been giving some sounds the past wk but i ignored it. so finally today it failed.. thank God my dad knows somewhere reliable at Sim Lim for me to repair... costing me a good $130! But got a feeling my dad will pay for it when he collects it. But for these 2 days maybe i have to work from home.. and have more time to watch youtube haha at night la. There was miscomm and delay in getting the laptop in office so think they deciding on a mobile workstation (more powerful + cheaper) and another laptop few mths down the road. Yep desktop is better and higher specs, just that not too used to it.
Finished 公主小妹 episode 9 but the story getting a bit stale.. 终极一家 is still nicer with my favourite 汪东城! haa..

Sunday, November 11, 2007

Today didn't seem to be a very good day to some.. many things happened during duty (though it didn't affect the operations big time or directly) but well we learn from it and life goes on... now legs aching after all the heels/platform and walking...

Tristan posted "路遥知马力,日久见人心" on his blog.. it's so true tat you won't know a person or a friend enough one.. even the closest friend or even a partner.. But no matter what happens.. 凡是都要看得开。拿得起,就要放得下。Sometimes easier said than done but have to try..

Recently had been having very bad hair loss.. it happens to me in seasons but it's getting bit scary this time...dunno why.. on Sat during oscar aLan was saying we sow more into the offering envelope will reap more.. so i said then i gotta put some hair i dropped into the envelope to reap more?!!? ha...
Then somebody dun even remember asking me to keep Tues free.. in the end the plan is celebrating bday with section... bo sim.. haha but doesn't matter anyway keke =)

Coming Sunday is my last group duty with them.. these 2 years in expo Grp 4 had been tremendous.. so much happy memories and joy even as i think back - have made many friends; seen many ushers grown and leaders rose up; spotted n recruited quite a few comms personnel; been to so many bedok suppers; the logis container + comms cupboard which is like my 'second home' in the ministry... etc etc

Will really miss the group's leaders (CU and SLs): Richie, Gene, Zhen, Xue, Jie, Ming - Thanks for the friendship and fun, seeing the potential in me to do more, giving me opportunities and correcting me for me to learn. (Roger is not mentioned cos he's still my ACU but wanna thank him for his guidance too!) The MTLs: Jer, Xiong, Yongwei - love you guys! You all are the best co-workers! I always look forward to fellowship with u all. We must go have a MTL outing before we move.. (Sijia is not mentioned cos she gg JW also haha.. and i think maybe same group!)
I am bias but of course with all these.. Group 4 is the best team in the ministry hahaa!! Of course there are the rest.. i have been to 4S4 -> 4S2 -> 4S3 -> 4S2 in these 2 years and the longest time is in 4S3.. where i made most of the good and close friends. Won't forget u all for supper when i get to have a car to drive! haha..
Yep.. So really will miss serving with u all but i know i have a 'higher' calling to go JW and make a difference.. so much for us to do but it will bring a sense of satisfaction. Erm and also my own motivation for the success of the first svc: food! After a whole day of hard work.. it's like our qing4 gong1 yan4 hee..

Oh ya Nat bought me the Breakaway CD i wanted..! hee.. thks!! =)

Oh 唐禹哲 has the same birthday as me!! but one year younger.. omg he look so mature..

But anyway now i prefer 汪东城!!

Ok it's Mon again tml.. back to the cultural mandate.. =)

Have gotten my work email add and name card! white and orange colour =)
Still waiting for my laptop and table in the office that they giving me.. The only thing abt using work laptop is tat i may not have all the usher files or photos as and when i need, unless i copy some of the things over first. Work is so far so good hehe.. I get to do graphic design, exhibition design etc too! All-in-one. I do think I'm a good asset to the company cos i can do all these extra things, if not they have to pay others to do it.

I broke record.. 5 consecutive days at Orchard.. becoming an orchard kid haha.. Last night after another 'high' session of ktv, we watched Gameplan at 2.30am..
Today saw this very nice dress at Central (clarke quay) but it's $98..

My favourite song now.. nice!!

Wednesday, November 7, 2007

sigh.. let out my frustration last night by tokking (almost non stop) to my 'gd listening ear' haha but i'm ok.. Sometimes learning to manage my expectations with ppl n friends.. relationship with ppl can vulnerable if u are not careful.. things tat u dun believe will happen, do happen. But guess the good thing is man can fail u but God won't.. ok don't think abt unhappy things le haha..
Yest watched this very chim American political new show Lions for Lambs (free tix from Lex)
(http://www.gv.com.sg/moviedetails/gv_moviedetails_7513.jsp)
So i told alan i realised consecutively for 3 nights (Sun, Mon, Tue) we were at orchard!! i realise the past 2 wks i had been gg there every other day esp cine-taka-wisma.. hahaa.. and maybe more than half the time is to watch shows. Think i've been watching 1-2 movies per wk on average :P Think would wanna watch Enchanted also. It's fairy tale come alive..
For those that dunno, i really prefer working than student life. Cos got income and most of the time dun need to worry abt work after 6pm haa.. So can go out enjoy without worries..

Yea today gg KTV with new grp of kakis ahaha.. gene is eager to show off his singing skills later. They were "promoting" 蕭敬騰 yesterday so went back to listen, his voice is indeed powerful.. my hair stand even the moment he start to play the organ.. so i have changed a new song playlist together with the OST of 终极一班 and 终极一家 which i've been a fan of recently.. haha..
终极一家 Episode 5's first part so sad and touching.. I cried buckets along with the show as they played the song 在水一方 by 汪东城.. quite cliche haha.. The kind of mixed feelings of hate and love.. memories of both pain and joy..

Woke up real late today but heavy head still.. Seldom i'm free the whole day at home.. feels weird. normally i "reject" ppl and rarely ppl "reject" my jio-ing ahah (and it's 2 ppl: you know who you are hor).. haha just kidding la :P
Was preparing for duty and watched svc online -- every single segment n announcement made me wanna tear.. the achievements of the JAMs church; children impacted by Canaan Sunshine Children's Home; the building fund video.. I recall every year building fund when i hold up pledge card, tears would flow.. and when pst showed the video during the sermon, where pst phil gave a word of prophecy to pst kong and Sun, couldnt hold my tears anymore.. Oh ya realised that online service 1000k streaming is very clear.. think some vcd/dvd also not so clear. Only if youtube can be so sharp haha!
Anyway so i finally started to watch 终极一家! 汪东城 so shuai can!! His acting and looks here looks like 林俊杰! oh man ha... hmm... Love the ending song 最愛還是你 by 唐禹哲.. brings back some memories..

First day at work, went to SolidWorks head office at Suntec Tower 1 to attend whole day training.
Not only had a free lunch treat by them at Olio, also received freebies like SolidWorks Tshirt, pen and retractable mouse etc.. They really provide a lot of support and also honor their clients. The office is neat, clean and high tech.. And sweets, choc, drinks are useful in making ppl like me happy.. haha.. There are 2 more other days of training in the next 2 wks.. Long day so quite tired..

>>--|[ chillin' out ]|-->> 8:03 PM

Realise some things that Xiong discovered, i discovered too haha just diff timing la.. like some nice clothes and online stuff etc. It's exciting to find nice clothes.. clothes that r different from other ppl and r exclusive..
