Insomnia

Wah liao... I think I am really having insomnia... I slept at 1+ this morning and woke up at 7+. In between these 6+ hours of sleep, I woke up at least a dozen times. Fred said I need some sleeping pills. Which I don't really want because I hate these kind of stuff.

I am now wondering whether my lousy mood now is because of my insomnia or because of the things that had just happened recently. This really sucks...

A dream come true...

I had a dream come true... A dream that I had many many many years ago and never thought it was possible or will come true... But still, it did even though it seemed so impossible... I am happy yet I am confused also... I don't know what my next step should be... Totally clueless... shit...

Sleepless at Nite

Wah liao... I need quality sleep~! I have been waking up at least once every night after I go to bed for the past 2 weeks or so... I am feeling so irritated about it as I feel that I am not sleeping enough...

I am those people who will just go into slumberland immediately (or almost) after I get into my bed. I like to have those non-disturbed sleep. Those 一觉到天亮 kind... I will rather have 6 hours of non-disturbed sleep than 10 hours of disturbed sleep. Disturbed sleep makes me feel more tired than non-disturbed sleep... In short, I will rather have quality sleep than quantity sleep.

I am now up blogging at 8+ in the morning when I just went to bed at 4+ this morning. It is not even the first time I woke up lor... I woke up for at least 4 times in between these 4 hours of sleep... And no... I do not have any plans so early... Grrr.... I want to sleep~!

Discovering the Southern Ridges

Bubble Burst!

My Marketing Director and HR had a talk with me this afternoon about the Marketing position that I had applied for. Apparently after many rounds of meetings and all, they decided to offer the position to someone else. Reason being they need someone who is experienced to do the upcoming stuff that they are planning for.

If you ask me, I am not disappointed or anything. Neither am I surprised that they are offering the position to someone else because when I applied for this position, I already know where my advantages and disadvantages lies in. It is my having no prior experience that placed me in a very disadvantageous position and make them choose to offer the position to someone else. At least I have tried to apply for the position and won't be left wondering those kind of "What if I applied for the position?" questions.

They are looking into some future plans to include me for some marketing projects for my future career path and hopefully it is something good. :D

Discovering the Southern Ridges...

My bf and I took a day off from work today to R&R. Since there was nothing much to do, we decided to discover the Southern Ridges! We decided to try the trail out today as we think there will be too many people during the weekends. Since it's a friday, we think there may be less people around. What we forgot was that it is school holidays now so a lot of parents are taking leave to spend time with their children. Luckily there is still not much crowd. :)

We completed the whole 9km of the trail. We started from Marang Trail (the most siong part I think) and ended up in Kent Ridge Park where we almost got stuck because we could not find the way out of that place. The whole trail took us around 3 hours to complete. It's very hot and tiring... The whole trail is quite nice just that I think I may give the walk to Kent Ridge Park amiss if I were to walk it again another time. It is just not worth the walk and anyway by the time I reached Hort Park, I was already pretty exhausted so I had to struggle to climb up to the Canopy Walk. One word... Tiring...

I shall update the blog with the photos when I have time... :)

Need to lose weight... :(

I went to the doctor yesterday about a condition that I had been having for quite sometime. Actually I went to see another doctor about it before but I was not really very happy with the previous doctor that I went to around 3 years ago. I didn't really like her and I find her a bit 敷衍 whenever I ask her questions.

Anyway, I quite like the doctor that I went to yesterday. At least he let me know what really happened to me and all. He decided that I need to go on medication for the next 6 months and after which I may need to go back and visit him if my condition did not improve. Another thing that he wanted me to do was to lose weight to what I used to weigh when I was 18. I was like "what?!" -_-''''

He told me that my gaining in weight for the past few years is linked to my condition and most people actually find themselves "cured" of this condition after they lose weight. So the most logically thing to do is to lose weight...

Looks like I really need to do something about my weight... Hai...

Thinking of shifting my blog to another site

The thought of shifting my blog to wordpress came across my mind recently. I was trying to change a new template for my blog and found it quite hard to find nice blogspot templates. It seems that it is easier to find nice templates for wordpress.

Kind of a dumb reason to shift my blog over rite? :P I really tried to migrate this blog to wordpress just a few minutes ago but I realised that there is one big problem that exist for me both in wordpress and blogspot. I can't seem to be able to leave a line between two paragraphs without typing in the html code. Grr... This means that in order for all my posts that had been migrated to Wordpress to look proper with a line seperating each paragraphs, I had to go into each post and add in all the codes. I am just too lazy to do that...

So I guess blogspot is still the one for me for the time being... Until I decided that I am really so free after all... :P

Cab Snatchers helped me save $10

I left my house slightly later than I was supposed to this morning. I decided to walk to the MRT as I knew I may still have a chance of catching the MRT at the usual timing if I walked a bit faster. I finally managed to reach the MRT station in time to see that the train will take 3 more minutes to come. I felt something was amiss there as from what I had gauged, no matter how fast I had walked, the MRT should take at most 1 min to come. I waited for the MRT to come on the platform and for some reason, the 3 mins never seem to change. It was just... stuck at 3 minutes. It took quite sometime before the annoucement came saying that the train was delayed due to a train fault. That was when I knew I will confirm miss the 8.10am shuttle bus to my company.

I reached Queenstown MRT station only at 8.30am and I was not even sure if there will be any more shuttle bus to my company. So I decided to take a cab to my office. I was waiting for the cab at Queenstown MRT and for some reason, people keep snatching the empty cabs that are meant for me. They can appear out of nowhere and the cabs will just pick them up. By the time there was finally a cab that no one is planning to snatch from me, I saw the shuttle bus that goes to my company. So I decided to just take the shuttle bus and save my $10. Even though my office is not really very far from Queenstown MRT, the cab ride plus surcharge and all adds up to $8 - $10. Ok lah... save my money...

For the first time I want to say thanks to the cab snatchers! Otherwise, most of the time I will be cursing and swearing at them... :P

Day 2 of Extra...

I was finally given access to the system this morning. So I started helping S do some work. It is basically very easy stuff to do. Just some thorough checking required. I was supposed to help her out for 3 hours everyday but I finished the stuff in 1.5 hours. She had no other work to let me do in the meantime so I went back to my lab to continue doing my own stuff.

It was later in the day when I heard from S that the temporary staff that they are hiring will be coming in tomorrow. I was like "Then what about me?" She said that I may need to help her guide the temp staff about what I helped S to do today because she will be in a meeting for the whole day tomorrow.

Looks like this work for me will end soon... Really soon... :D

Day 1 of Extra...

Today is suppose to be the day when I start to help out S in the Customer Service side. I was supposed to report to her at 1pm after my lunch but as I was out with 3 other colleagues for lunch at Vivocity and one of my colleague, JT, took a rather long time to shop for her things, I only managed to reach back the office at 1.20pm.

I knew I will be back late when I saw JT taking so long with her purchases, so I sms-ed S telling her that I will be late. I guess that is just not enough... As JT and AL whom I lunched with today are from the HR department, we were talking about them trying to hire a temporary help for S. They are talking about paying min. $10 per hr for the person and another colleague, J, and I joked about us applying for the position and staying back after work to earn that extra cash. :P

I was still teasing AL about filling up the time sheet for the work that I will be helping S after we were back in the office. AL went and told S what I was teasing her about and to which S said half jokingly, "You can never know what that girl do. She is supposed to come back at 1pm but she ended up being late. Like that how to fill up her time sheet?"

I started wondering if I will get my reputation smeared after I helped S in her work. This is actually a question that I had up in my mind for quite sometime because I usually lunched with S, J and AL and whenever we chit chat about work stuff during lunch, through past observations, S seems to bad mouth everyone who works with her. Maybe S is really good in her work and unfortunately, people who work with her are not as careful as her in their work or maybe they are really that bad but so far from what we had observed is that S has very high expectations. In a way, I think it's actually kind of scary to work with her directly. I can never expect what will come out from her mouth about me.

Side track a bit... My company US side is really kok up lor... S sent an email last tuesday requesting them to give me authorisation to some databases in our system. Yet I was unable to access those database today. So basically I did nothing much for S today. She just gave me a lesson on what she wants me to help her do. I hope I can start working on them tomorrow...

I hope I won't get my good reputation in my work to be smeared by S after helping her out for 4 weeks. I better start crossing my fingers now...
