Thank you God...

I thank you, God, for giving me a healthy body. Being able to play sports and sweating out may seem normal to most of us, but it's such a difficult task to some of them... Never take for granted what you're blessed with, for you might not know when God is gonna take it away from you... :>

To cling on or to let go?
Re-thinking about ur memory is clinging on to sth? or it's simply dun wanna forget?
To let go is to forget completely or to cast it to a corner of your brain?

~Krabi Holiday~

2006-12-23T01:03:00.000+08:00

Had a short getaway to Krabi with dear last weekend (17-19Dec)...

It's been 6yrs since I last took a plane for a holiday! :<

@ Departure Hall

On Tiger Airways!

As I booked the flight & room separately, was a bit worried that there would be crop ups... However, we were picked up at Krabi Aiport by the tour guide punctually!! ~Phew~ Went on the complimentary city tour for half a day & had their famous duck noodle. It's soooo nice!!!

Checked into our resort at ard 2 ++ To our disappoinment, our room wasn't ready :<

Krabi La Playa

Rooftop scene from our resort

Had our first dinner @ a Thai & Sweden restaurant. Was surprised to find Ikea Meatball on their menu :P

Spot the meatball??

Interesting things to share

This is actually the traffic lights! Can't find it? The Chimps are holding on to them! :P

Saw this on their menu. What a weird category of food...

Decided to go on a full day 4-island tour on the 2nd day. Took the Thai Long Tail Boat to visit the 4-islands. Of cos, we snorkel as well :>

Snorkeling time!

This is one of the 4-islands we went to - The Chicken Island!

Had massage in our room after a day of snorkeling... So comfortable that I felt asleep =_=! Went out to the streets & looked for supper.. Yum yumm...

The local pancakes:

Keith's egg pancake

My peanut butter pancake

On the way home

Bye bye Krabi...

2006-12-11T22:25:00.000+08:00

Looking forward to my well deserved holiday in Krabi!!!!

Coming soon on the 17th Dec :>

Back @ work

2006-10-04T17:05:00.000+08:00

After 1week of absence at work, I'm finally back at work today...

I'm not sick.
I'm not on leave.

I took off days to attend my grandpa's funeral... :< The purpose of penning this entry is not to show my frens or whoever is visiting my blog what happened. It's just a "memory reminder".

It all came so sudden on thur morning when my dad call me. It's sudden for me, for mum esp & for everyone in the family.

Rushed off from work to go to my grandpa's place. Saw him lying there motionlessly. The first time experience death in such a way... Can't help but tears just welled up in my eyes...

"He's just sleeping. He's not dead." That's probably all of them are thinking to themselves...

Emotions went down a little after that, helped out in setting up the funeral at the void deck. Everyone has got their role to play. The usual chanting & prayer session went on for that couple of days.

Came the day when it's time to cremate the body.. It's hard for everyone, having to part with ah gong... But it's just right before our eyes... He's gone, physically. But not in our hearts...

2006-09-20T22:16:00.000+08:00

3 months of inactiveness... nothing special to update thus do away with the frequent blogging...

A few "major" events for the last 3 months...

9th Jul 06
Keith & I 1st year-ssary!

22nd Jul 06
My 21st bday party! Retro is the theme for that night... It was actually a combined party with Rebecca. Thus, we've over 100 guests... -_-!!

24th Jul 06
Needless to say, it's my birthday. Took half day off to enjoy the quiet afternoon alone...

August was a quiet month... With colleagues leaving & new ones joining, a major change in office...

Sept is a month when we're all mentors to the new colleagues! Sharon, Joanne, Felicia, Huihui & I. We're all mentors to the new RMs... With just 1year of experience, I certainly hope we aren't teaching them the wrong stuff! :P

Looking forward to Oct when there's 2 public holidays & lastly Decemeber, the festive season & there goes 2006...

2006-06-21T18:23:00.000+08:00

People come & go out of ur life... All u need is to get used & get used & get used to it...

Wishing all of u the best in ur future advancement! :>

2006-05-05T23:22:00.000+08:00

Moved my work station again, on Wed -_-!! Can u believe it?! move twice in a mth! duhz -_-!

Ever tot of today might be the last day of your life? I've nvr tot of that before... "I'm only 21yrs old! It's still a long way to go!" That's prob what most of us are telling ourselves...

If you have read the papers for the past few days, you wld noe what I'm referring to... It's all so sudden, unpredictable, unbelivable, sad, stunned, confused, whatever descriptive words of emotions i can think of... Death comes to everyone irregardless of age, gender, race, religion. Everyone.

"I'm the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." John 11:25

I'm glad you believe.

The Day has come...

2006-04-07T22:36:00.000+08:00

The day to move has come... Finally.

Rec'vd news ytd that we're "moving hse" today... Nevertheless, we were too busy ytd to get emotional abt today's moving...

Started moving ard late afternoon.. It was tough cleaning up my new seat, with sooo mcuh dust & rubbish to clear.. -_-! Still hasn't fin packing.. Guess needa reach office EARLY on monday morning to pack up & start the day punctually.. :>

Hopefully, we will all get used to our new environment, new colleagues ard us.. Miss sitting w u gers for the past 9mths... ~ All the best ~

A month of change...

2006-04-04T20:45:00.000+08:00

March was a month of change...

Quite a no. of colleagues left. Though it wasn't a really HUGE change, it's kinda weird to see the empty seats around... Boss left for Shanghai on 30th March too & the new boss moved into the office ytd... Felt weird whenever i pass by his room, seeing a lady inside instead of him... Guess it's jus a matter of time getting used to it... "Changes are not necessarily bad" thats wat everyone is saying...

24th Mar was Boss' official last day but still saw him ard in the office the follwing week doing up some misc stuff, till the 30th when he said that was his official physical presence in the office.. :<

After 9months of sitting together, it's time for us to move... To our own proper seats!!! The space is definitely gonna be bigger & no more squezzy place for us... However, gonna miss the times we sit tog, with all the laughters, gossips, tears, discussions & lots more... :<

Looking forward to moving, maybe this week? or perhaps next? Who cares... We've been waiting since the day we came iN!

2006-03-14T23:06:00.000+08:00

Came across this entry in my fren's bloggy...

She was blogging about "Is he/she the One for u"...

In jus another 4-5 years time, marriage will b a topic among frens & relatives... -_-!

4, 5 years might seem to be still a long long long way from now... Time files, remember!? Before u noe it, u're 24, 25!!! So there's NO TIME to waste now, like what my fren have blogged...

Time to update a lil

2006-01-25T23:38:00.000+08:00

Ok, last entry was 3rd Jan which was 3weeks ago... My sister had asked me to update my bloggy... Since I'm already late in sleeping, might as well come here & update a lil... :>

Updates for past 2weeks...
Last 2 weeks was quite a relax one @ work... Y!? Have I been a lazy ger @ work?? NO!!! I was on MC last week ok!! Here's the "story".... :>

Keith was sick on the 11th (Wed) & so his MO (medical officer) allowed him to book out from camp... So he went home & rest but later in the evening, he told me he was having fever... We were supposed to be "quarrelling" that day & I'm supposed to be angry de hoR! hahah... But guess what, I still appeared at his place after work tat evening, just to make sure he's ok... :> *caring eh?!* :P

The fever continued... & his dad took him to NUH A & E on fri nite... Planned to go to his place & visit him after work but he said he wanted to be admitted into NUH -_-!! So went down to NUH instead... His fever went up & down & up & down (sounds like dengue eh?!) but it wasn't... Finally, his fever stablized on Sun but the blood platelet count wasn't improving at the same time... Normal count is 150 but his keep declining from the day he was admitted (from 127 till 118)!! Naturally, the doc won't allow him to discharge! haha... Now he wanna discharge, but the doc wont alloW! Hoho...!!

Continued to stay in NUH for the next few days... I've been travelling to & fro b/w home & NUH for that few days... Then fever camE! -_-!!! Had a slight fever on sat but was better on sun, so went ahead with my plan to visit him in NUH... But it got worse when i went home on Sun nite, so much so that I reported MC on Mon to rest & make sure I recover FULLY...

Went bac to work on tue (17th), everything was alright till Wed... The heaviness in my head came back & I could feel the giddiness... -_-!! So took half day & see doc & got a MC for the next day as well! hO!

Finally, he was discharged on Wed (18th) but the doc only gave him MC till 19th... So he gotta report back to camp on the 19th.. Poor thinggyyy....

Ok, so now, had an idea y it was quite an easy week @ work for me for the past week!? hehe... :P

Ok, done w updating for the past weeks... Now abt sth else.. :>

Recently, Keith started an online game & it happened to be the one I used to played years back! I forgot who intro me but I certainly rem that I played it b4... Kinda interesting... It's on turn-based kinda of game... Here's the webby: www.the-reincarnation.com

Now, I've been monitoring his acc for him everyday... Feel like signing up for my own acc, but scared that I'll be stucked to it!! Bad...!!

Planning Holidays...
I've been planning a trip to Pulau Redang since last Dec... Planned to travel to this beautiful island during Jul/Aug. Reason no 1 being my 21st bday. Reason no 2 being Keith mayb able to get some off days. Reason no 3 being the University pp having holidays, so might be able to get some frens along :>

That's my first planned holiday trip... :>

The 2nd one will be going to Mt Ophir in ard 3rd week of May. Nth has been confirmed yet but most prob will be going with my grp of church frens... :> Time to get my butt off the chair & do some trekking... Heheh... :p

The 3rd one hopefully is the Church Family Camp. This one wld be prob in Dec, ard Christmas maybe... Had one in 2004 @ Pahang... Was really an enjoyable 1 week @ Pahang... :> Hope to be able to get away during that period to join the camp...

Take the Rate My Life Quiz

Your Life Analysis:

Life: Your life rating is a score of the sum total of your life, and accounts for how satisfied, successful, balanced, capable, valuable, and happy you are. The quiz attempts to put a number on the summation of all of these things, based on your answers. Your life score is reasonably high. This means that you are on a good path. Continue doing what is working and set about to improve in areas which continue to lag. Do this starting today and you will begin to reap the benefits immediately.

Mind: Your mind rating is a score of your mind's clarity, ability, and health. Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is not bad, but could be improved upon. Your mental health is not weak, but you are not achieving full mental clarity and function. Learn how to unclutter your mind. Keep learning, keep improving, continue moving forward.

Body: Your body rating measures your body's health, fitness, and general wellness. A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. You have a rather good body score, which is an indication that you take care of yourself. There is room for improvement, however. Please keep doing what works. Eat right, exercise, reduce your stress, treat any illness. Doing these things will help ensure your body will be in good working order for a long time to come.

Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score is relatively high, which means you are rewarded by your beliefs. Spirituality is clearly important to do. Never let it slip, and continue to learn and grow.

Friends/Family: Your friends and family rating measures your relationships with those around you, and is based on how large, healthy, and dependable your social network is. Your friends and family score is not bad but can be improved. Maintain your current social net, while you try to expand it. Try new things and form new friendships. You will be rewarded greatly.

Love: Your love rating is a measure of your current romantic situation. Sharing your heart with another person is one of life's most glorious, terrifying, rewarding experiences. Your love score is in good shape, meaning that things are going well. Do all you can to maintain it, and continue to grow and move ahead.

Finance: Your finance rating is a score that rates your current financial health and stability. You have a rather good financial score, which is not all that common these days. Keep doing what works. Avoid common pitfalls and save for the future. You will be glad you did.

December... Another new month... A month that is gonna mark the end of Year 2005.

It's a month of festive too... Christmas & New Year is cominG!! Time to write out my Christmas wishlist, presents list & of cos a resolution for Year 2006!

Quite a number of birthdays to celebrate for the month of December... Firstly, it's QG's & HW's bday which is ytd (2nd Dec). 2nd will be Lizhen's (4th Dec). Next up will be ZG's (19th Dec). Lastly, it will be Melvin's & Lester's bday (31st Dec). & also not forgetting my Saviour's bday.. the 25th of Dec!! :> Tat's Christmas!!

Jus had dinner with QG, KM, ZG, Ada, Christina & Keith @ Kenny's ROgers to celebrate QG's bday.. Quite a filling dinner with a Chocolate cake!

I'm on compliance leave now... Started on the 1st till the 7th of Dec... Supposed to take it in preparation of my ACCA exams.. There're 3 papers (on the 5th - 7th Dec).. But i guess i won't be going.. Cos I don't think i will be continuing the course.. Studying the same modules a 2nd time really bores me... At first, i tot it'll be a breeze for me to go thru these same papers that I've studied in NP.. But it proves me wrong... I got really tired & bored of the same modules.. Guess that's one of reason I decided not to carry on...

Keith's POP is on the 6th Dec... Thinking if I'm not going for the paper, then I'll go with his mum to attend the POP.. But guess wat?! His dad is going too & he's only gt 2 tickets... *shrugs* I'll have to wait here for the POP to be over.. hehe...

Oh ya, one more thingy.. Agnes (our 'lao da') has given me & Jo a confirmation regarding our probation! haha!! We received the confirmation on the 30th of Nov, jus a day before I went on compliance... So, we went for a little celebration that evening after work! Collected her clothings @ Bugis & headed for Sakae Sushi for dinneR!! The two of us only ate 10 plates of sushi! Can u believe iT!! that's so little!! haha... We were there eating & chatting for like 3hrs?! so shioK! Haven had a long chat like this for a lonnnnggg time..!! Another reason y i felt so shiok was prob becos I need not wake up early the next morninG! :P

Stay The Same by Joey McIntyre

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far
And I hope you always stay the same
Cause there's nothing bout you I would change

I think that you could be
Whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize
All the dreams you have inside
Don't be afraid
If you've got something to say
Just open up your heart
And let it show you the way

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far
And I hope you always stay the same
Cause there's nothing bout you I would change

Believe in yourself
Reach down inside
The love you find will set you free

Believe in yourself
You will come alive
Have faith in what you do
You'll make it through

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far
And I hope you always stay the same
Cause there's nothing bout you I would change

Don't change...

Been 3weeks since i update my blogGy... Cos quite a mono-tone kinda of life for me recently...

Classes stopped at the end of Oct, exams coming in Dec... So nov is a study period for me... Honestly speaking, i hasn't been studying alot.. In fact, i dun feel like studying!!! But i've paid for the exams (or rather, my dad has paid) so I mus at least go try out the paper... It's kinda of wasting my time.. but i guess, i haven't got much choice rite...

Have been trying to settle down & study... But weird enough, i jus cant seem TO!!! It's like, i've lost the passion for my studies... bad bad.. mayb i should consider taking a full-time course instead... I know myself.. i'm not those kinda of disciplined student.. where they can work & study at the same time.... i like to study at my own pace, without stress... in tat way, i can get the most out of my studies, yet enjoy it at the same time.... Guess i'm too pampered huh?

Perhaps after this exam, i will stop ACCA for a while... Taking the time off to really think thru wat i really want in life before enrol for another course... Really miss the times when I was a student... & i mean as a FULL-TIME student... Neeed not worry abt $ & working stuff... how nice!! But on the other hand, i will need to grow up... & tat will mean to start working in the society... Always feel tat by working, u'll learn to be a better person.. U'll put wat u've learnt into practice & of course learn the way the working society works like the people in it..

But if i were to really take up a full time course, tat will mean i must quit my current job.. It'll be a hard decision.. haiz... To study full-time or work & study part-time??

God, pls guide me!!

Ok, let's update on some other stuff... :>

Hmm, had BBQ last sat in my church & i was the event organiser!! hohO!!! Of course with the help of Nicky (my co-organiser), Matt, Ash, Wyna, Viola... Thanks a millioN!! :> Alan came to the bbq too, so surprise!! :>

Went over to Ash's hse early in the morning to make the cheese cake (to be serve as desert after the bbq! :P)... After which, went over to church for music practice (for the next day service). I was late for an houR!! So sry Sam!!! Then accompanied Matt, Esther & Ash to Sheng Siong @ Paya Lebar to get some last min stuff for the bbq... But last min, gotta go town & meet Keith for lunch.. :>

Hasn't contact him for tat 1 whole wk, cos he was in field camp, so cant use the phone... So happy to see him on saT!! woaH!! Had lunch @ pepper lunch & rushed off to bugis to meet his soccer frens... Then went bac to church for the bbq... Was 'scolded' by rebecca for being late as the organizer! hahaha... BBQ started with a word of prayer by Bernard... The food was fanastic!! Didn eat much though, cos was too tired from all the activities in the day... & from the previous nite... Cos i went over to my auntie hse to bake 2 cheese cake (1 for my family & the other for my colleagues)! Tat explains y i was so tireD!!!

When the bbq was 3/4 done, i sneaked off for a drive! hahahha!! Asked Chin for permission to drive his car... Tot the engine will stall... but it didn! lalallalal! not bad eh?! Drove for abt 15mins ard church area then let rebecca took over the wheel... The engine stalled immediately she took over... -_-!!! Guess she is used to her auto car ehh!

Took out the desert for the day after the food was almost finished... Received good comments abt the cheese cake... but i felt tat the first one was nicer.. hehe.. it look nice & taste nice... but this one only taste nice... the look wasnt tat good though.. hahah... :P Well, quite glad tat they liked it! :>

Keith cant book out this week again... :<

王子变青蛙电视原声带
真爱 pure love

记忆像游乐园般精采
我们像对恋人相爱
幸福是应该不会是当然
只怪我们都太贪玩
思念像云朵般柔软
而你静静躺在我胸怀
我像是任性走失的小孩
紧紧抱着孤单

我们都曾经明白也都曾经遗憾
错过了爱就难以重来
不要害怕去坦白怕容易被你宠坏
忘了该与不该
到哪里找回真爱找回所有遗憾
爱的真相就能够解开
多给我一些片段拼凑未知的意外
失去记忆最初的爱

我是被你遗忘的精采
你却带着记忆离开
心跳是我们唯一的呼喊
提醒我们曾经相爱
你的笑像阳光般灿烂
小心翼翼藏在我口袋
在我脆弱时给了我温暖
谁也无法取代

但我们都曾明白也都曾经遗憾
一旦错过就难以重来
不要害怕去坦白怕又容易被宠坏
忘了该与不该
到哪里找回真爱找回所有遗憾
爱的真相就能够解开
多给我一些片段拼凑未知的意外
失去记忆最初的爱

Had a hair cut last nite @ China Square Central after work... My intention was jus to have my hair length & fringe shortened... But the hairdresser recommended otherwise!

Instead of shortening it, he suggested that i consider perming my haiR! oH my!! But after much hesitation, i decided NOT to perm my hair YET! hahaha... So he trimmed my hair length & fringe abit & did treatment... Costs me 86bucks... -_-!!

Met Carol, xin, Becca for a drink at Alley bar... Carol, knowing that i can't drink, ordered "Peach Snape" for me... It has the lowest alcohol content & yet i can get my face all reD!! -_-! I'm really a POOR DRINKER!!! haha...

Quoted this story from an email my colleague sent me..

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes.

When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages.

When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how she was going to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

The husband just said "I am with you Darling".

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.

Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.

No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child.

What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

Jus visited some of my fren's bloggy & realise how long they've blogging.. haha... Some started somewhere like 2yrs agO! oh my! tat's long... :> My 2 sis have been blogging for 1yr plus too..!

Boring sat... Started revision for the exams in Dec... Not much programme for the day cos Keith is in army le.. :<

Sent him off ytd morning... Toured ard Tekong for awhile then had lunch there... Quite a nice place... Reminded me of those camping days..!! :)

Attended a short talk by the "principal" of BMTC sch 2... Was told that his BMT is gonna be 9weeks (2mths) instead of 3mths... Which means, his passing out parade will be on the 6th of Dec.. -_-! my heart sank when i heard it's on the 6th of Dec... Cos i will be having a paper tat day from 3-5pm.. The parade will be at 4pm.. aRggg!!! Planned to meet him after his parade thingyy, but remembered that i still got one more paper the next day.. haizzzz!!!!!!!! damn!!!

After the tour & lunch @ Tekong, his parents sent me home... (so pah sei cos i stay so far... :P)

Took a nap when i reached home... Then left hse again at 6pm for class... Took 158 cos missed 100... Expect to reach aljuined at 645, just in time for my lesson... But in the end 7pm then reacH! :< Didn get off the bus at aljunied, instead, took the ride to waterfront where the bus looped back to serangoon... The whole journey was about 2hrs... Just sat there on the bus, looking outside, thinking when will he book out.. :< 2wks!!! gonna b a loooonnnnnggggg wait....

Was thinking of the exams in Dec... Dun feel like going for the exam... Or shld i say i simply dun feel like studying the course... -_-!! For now, it seems quite useless even if i complete the course... It has got nth to do with my work! Even if u say abt promotion & stuff... It's irrelevant!! But then again, how long m i going to stay in this job? mayb after a yr or so, I dun feel like staying here & decide to get a job in the accounting or auditing linE??

Hmm, the deadline to pay for the exam fees will be on the 15th of Oct... I shall decide by then...

Been looking forward to the well-deserved weekend getaway since last wkend... Gonna make the best use out of this short getaway to freshen up myself so that I can perform better in work, study & watever area of my social life.. :>

Took half a day off ytd to go for my driving test... & a day of MC today cos of my swollen left eye... -_-!! Just as well... Take it as a break from work... Quite tired from it... BUT i still love my job... It's still as challenging as I tot it to be!!!

A Qualified Driver

2005-09-08T17:30:00.000+08:00

Jus as what the title suggests... I'M A QUALIFIED DRIVER as of today! :P

Went for my last 2 revision lessons on mon & wed... Nothing much happened, except for my parking.. :<> Prayed during breakfast & before the test that He will calm me down.. Phew!

Hopped on to the car, waiting for the tester.. Trying to keep myself calm.. Voomm... Here I go!! Circuit was alright but the road ..... BUT still i PASSED!!!! :>

Declaration comes with Commitment

2005-09-03T23:45:00.000+08:00

Helped out in Anna's wedding today in church... So nice to have a church wedding!! As it's a promise before God & all relatives and frens, a church wedding tends to be quite a solemn one...

The moment Anna was accompanied into the church by her dad, she kept tearing non-stop! I guess she's too happy lE! Felt really happy for the couple as they exchange their marriage vows... It's like a promise to each other & God as well... wah! :p

Quoted the title "Declaration comes with Commitment" from the pastor when he spoke at the wedding ceremony jus now... The short sentence "I do" declares that you will love ur partner no matter what (my own version... i duno the whole thingy..) must also come with commitment.. Lots of it...

Married couples can just file for a divorce like that.. Have they forgotten what they promised to each other then?

As for me.. I'm looking forward to the day when i say "I do" before him (whoever i might marry :P), God, family & frens... & will defintely keep the promise... :>

The Real You

2005-08-30T13:56:00.000+08:00

You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.

You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.

You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to be the same as well. People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people's advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.

Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?

Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

Get to know yourself better

2005-08-30T13:54:00.000+08:00

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Poor $ management

2005-08-25T12:14:00.000+08:00

I think i'm rather poor in managing my money... Guess what?! I'm broke again.. -_-!

The 19th of every mth is my pay-day... Today is only the 25th & i'm broke... This is what i spent on...:

1) Mum $100
2) California Fitness $288
3) Bintan Trip $232
4) Transport $100
5) Bills (HP + Cable Tv +Maxonline) $100

All these totals up to abt $820. Every mth I'll save half & spend half... So by spending $820 (already) means i got no $ left now for my meals.... Maybe 50bucks left the most till my next pay day.. :<> Been the 3rd mth since i started work & it also means i haven been spending enough time w God for 3 months..! :<>

2005-08-23T22:47:00.000+08:00

Been a week since i last blogged... Still missed the Zoo triP! :P Always tot zoo is only for kids.. But turned out that it's actually quite nice to visit zoo once in a while.. hahah... Can relax & play at the same time..! :P

August gonna end soon... & that will soon mark my 3rd mth in Citibank... Life there is still quite alright.. Learnt lots of stuff... Be it on work or handling relationships with people there...

As expected, there will be bumps here & there when u're working... Esp for pp like me who just stepped into the working society and probably w the concept of all the nice nice pp... Handling relationships here in the working world is alot different from what u can do when u're still schooling...! When in sch, u can ignore that person if u dun like him/her... But in the working world, doing that is jus not really rite (& mayb childish)... It's even worse in an environment like mine where all the pp gotta work as a team to get things done... And i can say i'm not very good when it comes to handling relationships w pp (be it it's my family, frens or bf)... I'll probably naively think that all the people r nice nice de... hahaha.. & i got no idea y wld i think like tat! That's one aspect i really needa brush up on! :P

Ok, enough abt work... Let's update wat i've done over the weekend.. :>

Met up w Felicia & went to salon to do treatment for my hair on sat morning! (yes!! it's sat morning & i gotta go to Raffles Place de salon!) After the treatment thingy, took a ride to Jalan Bukit Merah & met Keith for the SIM talk thingy then da pao dinner on the way to his hse cos the guys wanna watch soccer match.. -_-!

Went to church as usual on sun morning... Headed down to Suntec for lunch then walk around there till abt 3.40pm cos keithy gotta go for soccer training :<

But it was raining as we were leaving Suntec for the mrt station.. So he decided not to go for his training...! So happy.. Went & catch "The Maid" at Marina GV headed to esplanade for dinner... Before dinner, we slack ard esplanade & enjoyed the scenery... Saw these parachuters in the sky.. Oh my, it was beautiful!!! Didn have my cam with me (only camera phone) so cant take pics of it.. :<

Had dinner @ the "roadside stalls" at esplanade continued to enjoy the nite scenery.. hehehe... We actually spend almost half the day there!! :>

Ok, it was time to part & head home to start that "bluey" monday again.. how sad.. :<

Ytd was the Graduation Ceremony 2005... Arrived in sch at abt 8.30am with SirSeen... Registered at LT68 then went & look for tina & qimei... Saw Qimei outside the LT & i asked where tina was... Then she said tina was jus beside her... haha... Couldn't recognize her man!! SHe coloured & perm her haiR! It's quite nicE!! New image of her.. :> As for me, i didn do anything special to my hair or face la.. JUs put on some light make up & let down my super messy hair... (i didn noe it's so messy until i went to the toilet after the ceremonY!)

The ceremony ended in 1 1/2hrs.. Quite fast though cos i expect it to be 2hrS! :> THe top student for ACC is Alton with 26 or 28ADs & 5As (i think so..) wah!! Not human!! hahahah... He looks funny with a bo tah head & in suit.. Look like a small kid.. heheh.. :P

After the ceremony, took lots of pics with tina, qimei, sirseen, ruihua & gang, hongzhi, royce, Jo & lizhen.. Took pics for abt 1hR!! Left the convention hall at 1pm.. oh my.. Shall post some of the pics here real soon..

In the midst of sooo many pp outside the convention hall, i heard someone calling "Tzeling Tzeling!!" i was like -_-! Who's tat??!?! Only my colleagues frm Citibank call me tat.. hehe... So it was Jo!! haha... She was looking for me to take pics..! lolx.. Saw lizhen too, so we took some pics together... :> O ya, the 3 of them (Jo, Lizhen & Serena was late to register b4 the ceremony starts!!) :P

Went for lunch with qi, tina, agnes & qianyu @ the alumni cafe.. It was a quick one cos qi gotta go for her class @ 2pm.. Tina & her mum went shopping in town while Agnes & Qianyu accompanied me (cos i was waiting for Mr.Keeeefy to be done w his ceremony!)... They went off ard 3++ so i went to canteen 1 & wait.. :<

Waited till 5++ & he msged me tat they might b going for dinner with the lecturer :< !!!! haizz... So disappointing cos we were supposed to go watch WoW de!! (War of the World) Didn wanted to go for dinner with them de, cos it's so funny (i'm the only acc pp there!) But.. in the end, still went for dinner la..

Quite a nice dinner with all of them... & their lecturer actually paid for all of us! oh mY! so pai sehh cos i was not from BIT!!! After dinner, we went our separate ways (to go home.. :P) Keeeefy sent me home first b4 going home... *happy* :P

Dad wanted to drive me to sch.. But I insisted on taking the bus... Cos this will probably be the last time I'm gonna take bus to NgeeAnn... Gonna really miss the times when the bus doesn't seem to come when u're late for lessons, when u jus gotta squeeze with so much more pp jus to get to sch & also when u're running up the 'hills' jus to get to LT 38 or LT45.. hehehe -_-

Also gonna miss the times when doing projects, stayin late in sch, lunch times w my best buddies... And lots more ba... ;>

The answer lies in, I just cant seem to stay committed for long since tat last relationship... I suppose...

You Are 20 Years Old

20

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

For DaD

2005-06-17T10:22:00.000+08:00

Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should...

For Fathers struggle daily
To live up to their "image"
As a protector & provider.

And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call "emotion".

But if you look inside Dad's heart,
You'll find he is sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be...

Fathers are wonderful
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolades of praise.

For the only reason Dad aspires
for fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness...

Felt very lucky & blessed to have such a nice Dad, not forgetting my Mum as well... If not, there wun be ME!! In the family, my Dad is a peace-maker while my Mum is the strict one (always lecturing us)... But i guess this is the way the family should work... One is 'soft' & the other is 'hard'... If not, i think i will be a super spoil brat by now.. :P

Wanna thx them for the 20yrs of bringing me up... Though i may be super stubborn & seem uncaring towards them at times, I still love them!! (I don't express this with words like "I love u Dad/Mum.. Cos I'm not gd with words, u see... :P)

nOt toDay

2005-06-15T23:54:00.000+08:00

Wednesday, mid-week.

TOday jus isn't the day for me... Nothing seems to go correct... First, it's at work; i cant seem to rem the things tat my mentor teach me... WHen she asked me to show her the steps required to do a certain task, i was sort of like "huh, how to do?" haizz... Duno wat the heck m i doin... :<

Second, driving lesson @ BBDC... Learnt U-turn & roundabout today... The instructor doesn't seems as friendly as the ones b4... But this really bothers me... Cos when he taught me jus nw, i felt tat he is like impatient & perhaps thinking, "how the hell did u clear the stages infront & come to learn u-turn"..

Mayb i was thinking too much, i hope... But all the -ve thoughts jus flow into my mind... People jus dun seem to b patient w me... I jus seem unable to rem things; my brain seems kind of useless (cant rem things well...)

Jus had lunch, still slacking around... But starting work soon again... Dun like today cos it's monday..!

Went for church ytd (as usual) & went for the soccer match they had against Zion Living Streams at Marina Bay... THey got keith to play for them the last min.. haha.. The game ended 5-1.. We WON!!!!

Talked to Keeeefy online last nite, was feeling quite sian recently... haha.. Duno y too... So jus complained to him lorr.... But i didn wanna 'fan' him too much with my stuff, so went to zzzzz...

Left the com on till this morning, saw his msg... He said the reason y i feel so sick of life was probably i had not much purposes/objectives/goals/blah blah... Ya, perhaps this is the reason... So that really led me thinking...

This week passed rather fast... Maybe it's becos I get to learn something new each day, making life in the office easier to pass... hehe...

I also got a temporary desk on weD, will be seated there for at least another 2-3 months, till about Sept ba... My seat is facing the window, overlooking the other offices tower... Not a bad seat though, jus that the working space is kind of small... hehe... Anyway, I wun be handling the work on my own yet, so i guess it doesn't matter if i gt a big desk or small one... hehe... :>

_____________________________________________________________________

Jus got home not long ago from my church de annual nite cycling... Gonna go slp like mad later... -_-! This year nite cycling wasn't as tired as last year's... But i got injured! haiz -_-!!

It happens like this: We were all cycling on a straight road, somewhere near the airport... Then i wanna overtake my fren infront, so i jus speed up a little to his rite side... Never did i expect that he will turn out to the rite eitheR!!! O h h h h h m y y y y y....! U can guess wat happens next... I collided into his bike, but i duno y i would fell off mine... -_-! The next thing i noe, I was already on the ground le... Felt a sharp pain in my rite elbow, but it's ok... Jus a little scratch... They tot i will not carry on le, but I insisted to carry on the ride.. hehe...

On the way back to east coast, it was Rebecca's turn to fall... -_-! I was behind her when i saw her fall off her bike... She bump into the bike infront of her... Another guy as well... hehe... Poor her... She scratch her rite knee, quite a serious one, i guess... cos the bleeding wun stop... -_-

So they got her into the church van and the rest of us continue the ride back to east coast...

All in all... I think this year's nite cycling is really accident prone... esp for the gers... -_-! The guys seems ok! O ya, Keith cant complete the ride also becos he suddenly gt a stomach discomfort.... Duno wats wrong also... haizzz..

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is comforting. You crave a relationship where you always feel warmth and love.

Your risk of cheating is low. Even if you're tempted, you'd try hard not to do it.

You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it.

In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.

Quite a slack day at work today... Reached the reception at 8.30am sharp... But one of the permanent staff there pick us up at only 9.00am... -_-!!

Met Agnes at the office & she did the introduction to some 80 colleagues at one go... Oh my... Do u think i can remember all of theM!? ya la, only managed to remember those pretty ones & of cos handsome ones.... :P

Nothing much to do after the introduction... THere were no extra seats for us, so we had to sit at those empty seats of the staff who are on leave for the day... Oh ya, there is this "Coffee Stall" IN the office itself... You might call it a pantry, but it really is a coffee stall... Reason being, there's actually someone selling drinks, snacks & lunch there... Oh my... Wat a concepT!!

Today, there were 3 newcomers, me, another eileen & joAnne... So you see, I've to be known as Tze Ling... -_-! wat a funny name... hmm, i mean, when i intro myself "Hi, I'm Tze Ling"... So fuNny!!! haiz~~ I can no longer respond to the name "Eileen"... Actually, i LOVE my namE!! lolx...

So the 3 of us practically surf the net the whole day, but not for our own stuff... We were looking thru the company's intranet, looking at their org chart, products blah blah... Lunch came, & Agnes (our bosS) treated us to a French cuisine!! woah woaH!

Realised during our lunch conversation tat James Lye is working in Citibank too! Oh mAn!!! YES!!! ANd it's in the same Department as me!!! aRG!!!! But he is in another team la.... Couldn't get to see him today... Might "hunt" for him tml... hiek hiek~~

If this is gonna be my timetable, I'm gonna be left with Sun & Mon free without activity after church/work... Greatt!!! Dun need so much time either... Dun think I'll go out tat often anymore...

I guess this is gonna be a great change in my life & also the people ard me... The guys going to serve NS, the gers going to work, some gonna study part time/full time... All of the sudden, all of us r like adults alreadY! -_-!

Really gonna miss studying, skipping lectures, late for tutorials, stress over projects, exams & reports...
