A good news after a goodbye...

Worry... Worried... is something that never stopped appearing in my thoughts since 12 Sept 05...

Loans, daily expenses, bills, transport, etc etc...Worry that how long can I sustained my living without a job... keeping my finger cross hoping that I get a job ASAP....I was "gan ho" to turn down an offer even with these worries...

Just wondering, will the members of UOL will really "support" me if I didnt get a job huh?

Everything is over liao....But hoh.... Aiyo tell you all something, I am really a PAIN...coz now I am worry of whether I am up to mark anot...

Am I losing confidence with myself because of the hiccups in my life?

I read a qoute lately and find it meaningful... I want to share it with all of you... The life you lead is yours and there are no other better person can lead the kind of life towards good or bad except you. Only you have the right to choose to walk your life through forest or orchard.

I know some of us are working hard to change or manage our life, just hang on and believe in yourself coz u can do it. Lastly, we are all behind you if you need us regardless who you are. I will be there for you if you need me. I am just a call away.

I know I know....I am a contradicating myself. They are just my wild thoughts.

Just want to share my joys with all of you...If I touch your hearts, share your thoughts with me. Good nite folks.

Last day....

Today is last day for a BEST friend in the company. We cried when we bid goodbye. I am happy for her that she finally found what she really want to purse in her career.

This is a qoute from her farewell speech "A change in life is to create another dream in life"...

This blog is specially dedicated to you and Berth. Good luck and all the best to you.

***Full House***


Lately, I am crazy about this korean show. Can't wait till every sat to catch this show but I have stopped myself from buying the VCD (save $).... Sat faster come!!!

This drama attempts to answer the question of whether two people -- a famous actor and an ordinary woman -- can learn to love each other in a marriage agreed upon only on paper. It also explores the meaning of the family by presenting no matter how hard the present may seem, the world is still a good place because of those who bring hopes into our lives through their presence alone.

Nice show must watch..must watch... rain is really very handsome....

a second chance...

Frankly, I am eager to find a job but of course I hope I will find a good job.

I have a good interview session this round. I believed I had left a good impression with the Director. I hope that I will received good news soon.

I am too excited right after my interview. Hope that I did not create any "ma fan" for you....

***Happy Children Day***

It seems a bit early for Children Day celebration BUT I just came back from the celebration. It is Simon's birthday celebration. Although the idea that we have use and re-use seem getting out-dated but everytime it creates a different feeling from each birthday celebration. I want to write it down before I forget.

I really admired the kind of bonding we had built during our school days. The bonding that we have built will appeared in a finger snap regardless how long we didnt gathered together in a group. Although we missed those days we had but in fact we have slowly accepted the fact that we cant gathered so often like what we have in the past. Although, we hate to admit but it is true. Everytime when we get together, we just play hard and enjoyed ourself. I believed that is because we played within our limits.

Going back to today's celebration. I have arrived early at Sharon's place than the rest. I am happy and excited to meet the rest and wanted to be early to help Sharon. Slowly, one by one the gang reached. We began our celebration when the birthday boy arrived. We had some Fun and have a good lunch. We had two different activities; mahjong session and swimming.

We started to pack up at 6pm. After going back to Sharon's place,we continued our mahjong while the rest settled down to watched "Shall we dance?" Xiaomei and Lau da left after they finished the movie while we headed home at 9plus.


I am glad to meet the gang up to "rot" and "catch up" with one another. Oh ya must mentioned one thing. MT, read what you have missed after you left us at 4pm. Hope you enjoyed reading up the missing information and hoh next time must stayed till the "party" ends ok. "Stayed in the black box" .... i will rem that....haahaahaahaa

Hmm...I am looking forward to meet the gang on Thursday.... happy that our meeting session nevers ends.....

Good nite folks...I am going back to my tv....

One last time....

Another week has passed. I am so busy this week. I went for an external meeting at HQ on Wednesday. I was asked to do a presentation on Thursday for the Thai Registrar. It is my honour. At the same day, I was on duty as PO. Seem like everything is planned nicely. Let me have my one last time for eveything I used to do in this place.

Although feel sad to leave this place but after some interviews, I great that I make this decision. I am losing my "value" in the market. What I want now is to find a job. Of course it must be a job I love.

Jia you! Jia you!

3 more weeks to go....

Monday blues...

Counting down. Same story. Manpower shortage, tones of emails waiting for replies, arrange coverage for lunch time, tones of applicaions to process and documents in my in-tray for my approval. Looking back, I started to wonder how I get thru all these.

Is it because of "enough" is "enough" or becoz I lost my "fighting spirit?

Retreat at Safra Club

I woke up at 7.30am today. You must be wondering why I have to wake up so early on Saturday especially it rains so heavily last night.

I am going to attend my last retreat in this organization. I am really bothered that I have to attend this retreat.

There are 5 tables arranged at the ballroom. Each table has 6 chairs. I comfortably sat with my gang. While waiting for the latecomers, they started to ask me question. I tried to answer all the questions.

The clock strikes nine. Instruction passed down that we shall start the day without the latecomers. After the introduction game, the facilitator asked the group of us to gather at the back of the room. I have a strange feeling, I just hope that I am not arranged to sit with any of the big boss.

My wish was not granted. After the re-arranged, I was arranged to sit with my No1 and No2. Haahaahaahaa…very heng rite….

The day files. Morning tea break come and goes. Lunch time arrived unnoticeable and the afternoon tea break zip past without effort.

Finally, it is over. The bus dropped us off at MRT station and sped off towards another destination. My heart became lighter as the bus backlight is out of sight.

希望雨过天晴...

Today, I am supposed to go Bugis for course. Bearing the pain, I headed for the training school. At 8.30am, my hp rang. It was from my HR. She told me that the course is being postponed. I looked at my watch. It was 8.30am and I am in my causal wear. I told her I need to go home to collect my drawer keys and office-pass before I can report for work. By the time, I reached office is already 10am.

Seem like everything is not going the right way. Hmm…I know they are just tests that I have to take. I will overcome them one by one.

Rosebud, Jia you! Jia You! There will be sunshine after the Rain!!!

Clumsy gal in action AGAIN!!!

I had a fall again. This time is on my way to work from mum’s place. I missed the step and lost my balance and “piak”!!!!

It was so painful that I could even stand up and kept shouting for “Mum! Mum! MUM! Help me!!!”





So I am on MC yesterday.

I am supposed to go for an interview yesterday but because of my fall I have to call it a miss. I can’t reschedule for another interview because the interviewer is from United Kingdom. Sigh sigh sigh....

Farewell Lunch started...

I am very surprise my 1st farewell lunch is from the Head of the PPD. We went to Amara Hotel's 三太郎 (Japanese restaurant). The restaurant has nice ambience and not much crowd. It explains after a grance at the menu.

I broke the news to a few close friends while I am excuting my daily course of duties. I told 3 friends today in fact and I really touched that they cried and one of them even told me that is it so unbearable that you really have to go.

Ok I need to go back to my work; it is still piling up like nobody business...

***2day is the day...***

hmm.....bath and get dressed and hopped onto the feeder service to MRT station heading to office...finally is Friday that what I have in mind(TGIF-subject title of Sharon's email)

My division suffered manpower shortage for one whole week because my boss and 4 other officers are out of office for study trip which left the “unfortunate” group of us to manage the fort. Well, appointed Acting HOD for the last time, I can say I “survived” thru this week with the help of the remaining officers.

Thank you, CSY, VL, RSY, RBY, SPT, NN, FI, MSA & AL…

I send all of them a “Thank you” email to express my appreciation for the effort they have contributed to the smooth operation. A pat on the shoulder is needed for subordinates is important:)

Lastly, this paragraph is for myself…..only people who cares or understand know why I blog this…I will brace up from this point and if you really knows what I am talking in this paragraph, please sms me to give me your words that you will be with me if I need you…

***A Full Stop to the 2.5 years in SIM****

Hmm...finally results are out and classification is out too...

Looking back...i remember the day should be 1st April, i am going to attend my 1st night class in SIM...feeling excited and lonely that I starting my journey of UNI alone...Met Xueli during break and she introduced Steven...three of us being pals in a short time (unbelievable)...friends comes and goes and we meet another friend who became our pal and that's E-lin..the Pooh's gang is found....things dont stop here...we finally formed a bigger group with Richard, Sharon and Jeremy....this time UOL family is found....we became so close that we also dont believe...people around us will start asking us if they found us alone or in pairs....

I still rem how we struggle our bridging class then our 1st UOL exam and finally our final year in SIM's library, benches and discussion room.... Everyone is there for one another and holding each other when one is down...

My feelings: To be frank I glad is over but feel sad that is over too...my appreciation to the 6 of you....

To Richard- Thank you for taking care of me when I am ill in the library and all the photocopies you have for me, the sandwich, chocolate and etc...and buying dinner for me when I am late for class...actually too much to thank you till I feel bad coz seem like you are always the one giving and I am always the recipient...Lau da, A big HUG from Damei and Thank you!

To Sharon- Pardon is I am being frank. Sad that we did not fin the course together and it is my greatest sadness. BUT dun be sad, I am always around when you want... if time allowed, I can go company you for dinner and sent you to class...just like a nanny... Thank you for the breakfast you have bought and the little "noise" you created in class, I will miss the days you sat next to me in class... 谢谢大姐

To Jeremy- Haahaa...I hope you wont regret being a friend with me coz I am a pain in your neck sometimes...Thank you for driving us to lunch in your Van...miss the ride in your van where the group of us joke, laugh and talk about things arond us....Ah mi gor gor, thank you.

To Steven- Hmm...we know each other since bridging class...counting the days seem like oni know you for 2 years plus but we shared a lot...although we have "cold war" here and there and also unhappy incident created but still gald to have you by my side...Thank you for your company from work to SIM, miss the days we have to squeeze ourselves up the stupid bus 74 and you siting next to me in class drawing my notes, can draw pig pig for me?....thanks for your guidance in my studies and taking care of me when I need you...Thank you!!!

To Xueli- We know each other the longest....from a one day coursemate to become a 好妹妹 is really something I nevermind expected...I think I will miss most is to study with you coz you are a good teacher and the other thing is having dinner with you at SIM coz we always have a lot to share in the short interval...thank you for all the encouraged words you have given me...thank you!!!

To E-lin- From the from the sequence, you should know you are last in the Q ...Hmm although youngest in the gang but a very mature person to be with, enjoyed sharing things with you and will miss the days we have in library and the days we travelled from work to SIM....still rem once you dropped your tears in the Canteen where all of us were shocked...glad to know you and miss those days we have "bad times" at work and we cant wait to see one another and tell one another our "ku"...thank you

Ok finally finished my "thank you"...please hor continue to sayang and pamper me just like you all used to do ok...and also thank you for tolerate my nonsense...

Thinking back I am not alone after all and beside getting my degree from UOL, SIM also gave me a place to know all of you....heeheehhee

Finally it is OUT....

Finally..... seem like a long long time ago I had cleared my papers and just like what E-lin told me over the phone long until dun feel excited liao....indeed had the same feeling....

I received a call from Sharon and just tell me a message short and sweet "Go and check your result, they are out"

Switch on my laptop, login in to the SIM website... and click on the "Academic Profile"... the 1st subject I looked at is LBO, disappointed with myself coz I didnt get the result I desire but I am contented that I have cleared all my papers...

Suddenly, I have the urge to SMS all the other 6 friends, buddies, kakis 难兄(姐)难弟(妹)... to be frank I really don’t know what is the real term but I think that is because we are so close to one another and we shared our good and bad times together….

***************************************************************************
This is especially dedicated to all of you….

I want to thank all of you for “bumping” into my UNI life (Paisen even it is not very willing also no choice liao) and it is my greatest take away in my 2.5 years. As time progress, we became the shoulder for one another and happy to have all of you.

Next, I want to thank all of you who have helped me and really I treasure all of you in a special way.

the above are words from bottom of my heart...hmmm a bit mushy but they are real:)
