The last day of 2009

Oh dear, its the last day of 2009! (and yes, the current plan is to spend it at home)

I miss 2009 already. So many exciting events happened, so much fulfilling experiences. I'm so glad of them and so grateful to all.

So many firsts too! My first job, my first boss, my first pay, my first... (all related to work eh?) my first trip to poland/vienna/salzburg.., my first cup of choya, my first taste of biao ge's sushi, my first spa membership, my first ceramic perm, my first trip to batam with lovely girls, my first girl's night out, my first tequila pop, my first time merlioning... omg so many firsts!!!!

Its been a lovely year. Thank you nature, Thank you my dearest friends! I'm so touched and deeply appreciative of all of you!!!!!!!!!

Once in a lifetime experiences..

Many things are once in a lifetime experiences.

Like one would wish she could go for another competition with ensemble, orchestra or even choir again. But being out of practice, and commited to work makes it low priority and hence nil.

It will also be great to have another exchange at waterloo again, the sweet old days with arch, my roommate, but things would be different. We've all grown up. Arch is now steadily attached. Now longer the innocent and playful us anymore. Even if i make a trip back to ontario, it will not be the same. No loving boyfriend in Vancouver, not the same at all.

Hence, one has to look forward. Look forward to the changes at work. Look forward to more opportunities and even more once in a lifetime experiences ahead. Cos you're never fourteen years, twenty one days, five hours old again.

Carpe Diem!

Christmas

Hmm.. I'm spending Christmas desperately trying to get over the unhappiness at work. To make it sound bad, its more like i'm bullied. But how so? She just got married, He just got an operation, still on MC, and he's always on site, the other's always complaining, I seem to be the only one left! To organise a party for 200. -.-

I need to pick myself up from that dump, see it in a brighter light and have fun at it! Its supposed to be fun. I'm sure my dear friend will come in VERY HELPFUL. Yes, i'm gng to look forward to that. She's innocently involved, surely will bring in loads of light-hearted spirit! I'm counting on you, dear friend!

HAha, i want to show u my pearl from Japan but absolutely lazy to upload it :P, maybe next next time. Mummy says its pink, although it looks white to me. (PINK is my fav. colour did you know? :P) It does look pink next to her chain of pink pearls, so ya, its a pink tinted pearl. :)

Okay... i got long story de, but sm called just, so i'm gng out to play le! update again later! :P

Chalet

Has anybody ever used the word "PERFECT" to describe a chalet? Yes, I just had the perfect chalet of my life!

It's like dreams come true with the choral version (Sop and Alto) of 'Joy to the world', so random yet so rehearsed! Catching up with a pri sch mate and feeling like it was YESTERDAY that we last talked!

Top it up with my favourite BK breakfast with syrup hashbrowns, unlimited rounds of mahjong and bridge and Awfully Chocolate log cake - beat that!

Of course, the above material stuff didn't make things perfect. Its every single soul, the commited guys who BBQed the night away, the commited colleague who brought his gf to help make us salad, the endless flow of alcohol from commited colleagues who failed to make me drunk and ended up playing bridge with me, the commited jy who made sure we had yummy bacon w/ mushrooms, and last but not least the commited girl who just wants her dearest to get over unhappiness! All positive energies combined, into a very PERFECT chalet!

Top it all off, i felt that almost every single soul received their greatest gift ever along with the gift exchange that ensued. It seems like nature has a way of working itself into randomness to help every single soul attain their greatest and sweetest evening ever!

Thank you Mother Nature! (and all my friends of course!)

Ofx...

Meanwhile, loads are happening in ofx. I'm expecting alot more excitement next two weeks, what with our department's Christmas celebration and new Year eve's celebrations, things are really hyped!

We actually had a recent decorate the ofx competition and had 3 very beautiful creations:
1) a candy shop
2) superheroes
3) Disney
Themed.
there was life sized super heroes and actual room decorated into a very decent shop! totally like magicland!

How exciting! :D

The Royal Carribean

Wow, i just returned from cruise and didn't expect to feel this back to land reality so strong. haha.

Its a very old ship (40 years?) but the crew made the trip all too perfect. Live music completed the heavens throughout the entire stay on board. What with Linda Gentille entertaining mummy, ya, its very impt my mummy enjoys it, else its not worth my effort. :P

I LURRRRRVE the OCEAN! ahha.... when i was little, i tot i could be a sailor. Now, i dun even know what a sailor does! lol...

Anw, this post gotta be short, cos my life is too BUSY now. Nonono.. not busy with work, but all the activities after work, cycling, blading, ktv, and what not.... totally knocking me out! So, bits and pieces will come in when i'm sane. :)

Have a great holidays!

My colleague consoled..

that not all the good men are married, the good men are not married cos they have higher expectations so...

1) those taken are men with low expectations,
2) its not too late to look now

:)

how positive. I like it :)

with no expectations,

comes no disappointments..

this is the best weekend ever, cos i've never looked fwd to a weekend more! Weird isn't it?

I loved work so much i never looked fwd to weekend. I wonder if its really just cos my boss is so nice. Cos he was away this week, so it got horrendous?

I"m so glad I made a recent decision to emphasize on my personal motto "To put family before work". Basically not sacrificing family for work. Essentially, the quality I'm looking for in my mate- if there exists one.

I've been gloating over how a colleague and I has been analysing another colleague and immediately eliminated him from the prospective list to the barred list over a cup of tea. lol...
