Saying Hello to...

1) Straight Hair
Me finally went to straighten my hair last Sun. :)) N i say straighten instead of rebond coz I did it @ a home-based hairdresser near Dar's place n my hair doesnt end up as flat as it wld be if rebonded. Which is not too bad coz it look pretty natural hee hee... some of my colleagues were like "did u do something 2 ur hair?" :P n it was pretty cheap too... comparable to JB without the hassle... only thng is dat the strands near e shoulders seem a bit curly already... but oh well :)

2) A slightly bigger paycheck
Yeah FINALLY got increment... am i satisified? i guess ok bah... e rumour was dat we would get abt 3% and if our pay was below mkt rate then it would be abt 6% but i thnk in e end everyone more or less got e same flat sum... so well... but being e greedy gal that i am... i thnk it is a tad little... bearing in mind dat we didnt get any increment last year...

3) Nice frenly pp
It is kinda of a surprise 2 actually meet nice, courteous pp on the train, especially during the early morning peak periods when it is super crowded and difficult 2 get on @ Kallang. Was attempting 2 board e super crowded train as usual this am n had already decided 2 wait for the next train when this lady motioned for me to come in as there was a teeny weeny space. She even made more space for me :) (n incidentally she works in e same building as me! heh heh) n when the doors closed n the train moved... i almost feel n luckily this other lady held on to me! n when this old lady came in they also helped her :) nice pp... will haf gd karma keke

4) New Kid on the Block
Went for lesson w my new kid... luckily it is is pretty convenient... juz 1 stop fr e MRT. A pretty quiet kid who seemed kinda restless during lessons. Thnk her basics are not v strong so hopefully will be able to help her. But she seems ez 2 teach lah... which is a relief :) But it is rather tiring... wonder how lg i can last... keke

5) New faces
Due to expansion, there are more new staff in the office... hafnt toked 2 all of them yet... but juz wondering whether there will be anyone 2 replace me when I leave... or rather if i m able 2 find a new job heh heh! I definitely hope so man!!!

Whizzing By

Geez, itz already the 2nd wkend of 2010! & i m still not in the mood for work kekeke.

Tokin abt work, we haf a team-building event ystd @ ulu Lim Chu Kang. (exact place was Sarimbun Camp) When we heard, many of us initially had a lot of resistance to it & I, for one, was thinkin of various excuses of why I can't "make it" coz we had to supposedly write a 3 page memo if we are unable to attend! :P Was also debating whether 2 drive there coz we thought they were not providing transport; we were advised to carpool; then they made the pick-up point of the bus @ Jurong East but they finally decided to pick us up @ UOB Plaza which defeated e purpose of me driving. I guess the reason why it was so far was also to deter anyone of us from leaving early haha!

We were divided into teams which we were only told 2 days b4 e event itself so it got a lot of us pretty excited haha! Luckily I had company in my team coz there were some pp i didnt really like in my team haha! But I must say we all enjoyed ourselves v much and my team even got the best team award! hahaha! It was a $250 voucher but after splitting amongst ourselves; I thnk each of us will only be getting $20 haha. I'm glad it is over n that it wasn't as bad as it seemed :)))

& it has been a good new year so far; double dated w Dora @ Ikoi on New Year's Day where we exchanged super belated bday prez n juz had loads of fun catching up; attended Genia's cosy wedding dinner @ Amara last Sat & caught up with a couple of old school mates as well; & had dinner w Jo, PS & Shao Ye on Fri where we had 2 wait 45 juz coz I wanted 2 try e Ramen! haha! But I thot it was worth the wait :))) much beta than the basketball Ramen w e other PA pp couple of weeks back heh. & m happy coz I got a new tuition kid!!! yayee!!! More income for me kekke!

Happee 2010

Yep, it's been ages since I last blogged... almost half a year to be exact; not that I have no time coz I can blog in Dar's off over e wkends, juz been plain lazeee and nothing much 2 tok abt i guess n some other things that hap which i dun wana document... well, shall try to be more "diligent" in the new year hee hee :)))

The last time I blogged, hafnt started on my course, but now it is over... so fast rites??? but there's still that silly role-play that we hafta go thru :( thnk it is q unfair to product staff coz we neither haf e experience nor the knowledge and for pp like me, i m not gona find it useful since i dun intend to be a RM in future. But well... for that piece of paper... which ultimately may not be helpful in e end! :P but i did learn some useful stuff during the cse n hopefully i can rem them in time to come, but after taking e cse, it so dawned on me that i m not cut out for the finer side of finance haha!

Dar's cousins came dwn to SGP in mid Nov and we had q a fun time bringing them ard; Orchard Road, Raffles Place area, Marina Barrage (& it was my 1st time there!), Newton for e huge variety of food and Clarke Quay. Too bad there wasn't enuff time to bring them wakeboarding keke... but they suggested for us 2 visit them in July for some snowboarding :) Dar n I went to BKK in late Nov... we walked SOOOOOOOOOOOO much that we had to have massage EVERY nite! but it was damn cheap lah... $10 for 1 hr n it was not too bad as well. Me thinks me prefer BKK then SZ... like more thngs 2 see, n more thngs 2 eat as well keke... though i had diarrohea aft i came back *bleach*

Barely worked whole of Dec coz was clearing leave. Wanted 2 bring more forward 2 this year but cldn't. Didn't really do much... went JB n also brought e kids out to watch Avatar! It was good! I havent seen e kids since Jan this year and it is a wonder how much they haf grown... n how much naughtier and cheeky they have become!!! n i finally went wakeboarding too... so m now v tanned which I like... but i thnk i was on e verge of peeling; my face was lobster red e next day :P

Hope everyone will have good health in 2010 and may it be a prosperous new year for all!!! I m not 1 to make resolutions but I hope that the new year will bring me good health (m hafing e flu now), new job (yeah getting damn xian of e job), more tut kids (= more income :P), more hol (going bali in May yippeee), memorable times w Dar n more biz for Dar's wakeboarding co! HUAT AH!!! :))

HAPPEE 2010 EVERYONE!!! =^_^=
