Trip to Kluang, Malaysia

I made a trip up north to Kluang, Malaysia over the weekend to attend the wedding dinner of my of my closest girlfriend, C. It was a very tiring trip for both YQ and I as we didn't manage to get much sleep throughout the few days in Kluang. We were busy helping the bride out to make sure everything will turn out well for the wedding. We didn't even have time to see Kluang properly. The only place that we had seen were the C's house, her husband, KS's house, the restaurant, our hotel for the last night and a eatery where we had our breakfast on the last day of the trip. :P

The wedding turned out great after all, C did a lot of stuff for the wedding all by herself and it was good to know that her effort did not go to waste. Congrats to C and KS for finally tying the knot!

Looks like I will be going to Malaysia once every half a year to attend a wedding dinner there. I have received notice from another poly classmate of mine that she will be holding her wedding dinner in KL in May and another one is holding hers at the end of 2009... -_-''''

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! This post is a bit late lah but I only found the time to blog now... :P

My Heffalump wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

This week has been a crazy week for me. It was mostly doing some last minute shopping for some Christmas present after work, attend some event with my colleague, making Swarovski Crystal Angels as Christmas present and making an ang bao box for my good friend's wedding this coming Saturday. I am quite happy with the Angels that I made for the ladies. :D I have a guy friend who after learning that I made those myself that he want to learn how to do it too. It is really easy stuff but I think it looks pretty nice. :D

The Swarovski Crystal Angels that I made for Christmas.

I received quite a number of Christmas present this year. For some reason, a lot of people gave food this year. I received like 3 boxes of chocolates and 2 boxes of cookies. I received something from The Body Shop for gift exchange and 2 cups from Starbucks. There's some other stuff that I receive too. I am too lazy to take a picture of them this year. I even left some of my presents in the office because it is too heavy for me to bring everything back.

I spent Christmas Eve together with some of my Secondary School friends. Just a simple pot-luck gathering at one of their place. I think the 小娘惹 showing on Channel 8 is really popular now. To think one of the guys specially request to watch it at 9pm which most of us were happy to oblige with. I am a fan of that show too just that I seldom make it home in time to watch it. :P

I did nothing much today except sleep~! I was busying packing my bag earlier as I will be away in Malaysia the next few days to attend my good friend's wedding. I was looking at the size of my luggage and commented to another good friend of mine that I pack a 5D4N bag for a 3D2N event...

Anyway, I hope the coming year will be better for all. May all dreams come true... :)

The Start of a No-lifer...

I went for my orientation in SIM today. We watched some videos, filled up some forms and recieved our timetables. Wah liao... I am going to have super no life for the next 2 years... Most of the weeks I am required to go school for either 3 or 4 days. Some of my classes sway sway fall on Saturdays too... Sian 1/2... Bo bian... This is the choice that I made... I just have to go along with it no matter how no life it will make me.

I seem to be spending quite a lot recently. Not sure if it is because bonus is coming or because I know I will not have much chance to shop at all after I start school. I think I easily spend like $200 within these two days? -_-'''' I better stop liao. After all I need to save up my bonus for pay for my school fees!

Polaroid Camera

For some reason, I suddenly have the idea of getting a Polaroid Camera. See how much will it cost and long term wise with the cost of the film... Don't ask me why I feel like getting one. I am not very sure why also. I still have to think think... But then I am super broke liao leh... The worse thing is, I will continue to be this broke for the rest of the 2+ years... Sigh... Bo bian... It's something I have to do... :(

Christmas Shopping

I spent the past 2 days to get some Christmas shopping done. Honestly, this year's Christmas is very different. I did not really spend much effort to buy a present for most of the people especially for those gift exchange presents. It's more of those "get for the sake of getting" kind of feeling. It's not like last year when I hoped that everyone will get the most appropriate present for them but there are still some which I still buy with the thoughts of the user in mind.

I bought a considerable less no of presents too but I decided to hand make some presents too. I hope nobody whom I did not get a present for got any for me. :P

Stabbed...

I am not very surprise to know that you stabbed me in front of my boss. Hmm... Maybe stabbed is not exactly the correct word to use since you just said that I am inflexible. Oh man... Call me inflexible for all you like. Just do yourself a favour. Please don't use some stupid things that happened N years ago as an example of my so-called being inflexible. Because those things that happened had totally nothing to do with me at all. You are only making yourself look stupid by quoting them as an example. It only shows how well you know about those stuff that happened then or it only shows that you are finding yourself lack of stuff to use to call me inflexible. And oh... the other example you used to call me inflexible? I did not make the decision myself. 3 people made the decision 2+ years ago together so why blame it on me and call me inflexible? *roll eyes*

Operation 整新郎和兄弟 Day!

Hee... I met up for dinner with some of my poly girlfriends to discuss about what we will be required to do on my good friend's wedding later this month. Most importantly, our plans on what are we going to do to 整 the 新郎 and 兄弟! :D

I think the best part of this is that the bride-to-be is the one who did ALL the research and came up with the games to be "played"! Haha... I am soooo looking forward to the wedding... Haha...

Clear Leave~!

It's the time of the year to start clearing leave liao... I still have 5 days of annual leave to clear, of which I will be taking one on 26 Decemeber since my good friend from Poly days is getting married in Malaysia then. I need to go there earlier because I have to be her jie mei! I am starting to pity her husband liao... I can't imagine how we will "torture" him especially when there's a no food rule since he has a weak stomach.

As I am going back to school next year, my manager actually offer to let me bring forward some of my leave to next year! This is great news since there's a no carrying over of leave policy in my company. If there is any carrying over of leave, there must be some valid reason and it is usually "under-table" kind of arrangement. I think I will trying carrying over one or two days leave to next year since I can foresee myself taking quite a bit of leave next year for exams and all... Another lucky thing is that next year, I will have more leave since I will be hitting my 5th year in the company liao... The more leave the merrier... :P

Christmas is round the corner...

Christmas is round the corner again! This year I have yet to do ANY Christmas shopping at all... I have ermm... I think 3 gift exchange presents to get and some other presents that I decide to make...

For some reason, this year's Christmas feels a little different... I don't seem to look forward to it as much as I used to. Is it because I am getting too old for it already? I definitely hope this is not the reason... :P

Books

I passed by Page One the other day and saw that they were having some sale so I popped by and bought 2 books. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at $9.90 which is really a steal considering it to usually cost $40+. The other book that I bought was Jeffrey Archer's new book A Prisoner of Birth at $18+ before a 20% discount.

The Harry Potter book is more for collection since I have 2 of the books and I have actually finished the ebook version. Maybe one day I will buy the first few books too. :P As for Jeffrey Archer's book? I have been thinking of borrowing it for quite sometime but decided to just buy it since it was on sale. :P I have yet to read it but I will try to start soon. :P

My Appeal is Successful~! :D

After some unpleasant exchange with someone who wasn't even trying to be of any help, more phone calls with another nice and helpful lady to help me with my appeal, I am happy to be able to say that my appeal is finally successful~! :D I am finally accepted for the 2 years programme and so I will be starting school next January. :D

I both look forward and don't look forward to school. It will be the best if I can study full time but I know with my current situation, it is impossible. All in all, I do know that I need to move on. So, time to get back to studying!

Quarantine

I watched Quarantine with my boyfriend and another 2 friends of ours last night. I almost puked while watching this movie, not because of the disgusting scenes but because of the "shakey" camera. It has been quite a long time since I last feel like puking from "motion sickness" lor... It's like another Blair Witch Project kind of movie but as I never really finish watching a Blair Witch Project movie before, so I can't really comment which is more "shakey".

Frankly, unless you are looking for a kick of motion sickness, please don't watch that movie.

Another 3 years of my Life?

I guess it is good to buy "insurance" after all. I got my reply from SIM(RMIT) today. Yes, they accepted me BUT they want me to go for the Level 1 programme which will take me 3 years to complete!

Damn... Why is this happening all over again?! The first time I applied for another course from RMIT, they offered me the 2 years programme when I was hoping to get accepted for the 1.5 years programme. Now, I was hoping that they will accept me for a 2 years programme and yet they want me to take up the 3 years programme. They must have dislike me alot...

I have just sent them an appeal letter. I HOPE this time they will give me good news. I am not very keen on spending another 3 years of my life studying...

Banned!

I went into office this morning to find myself having problem logging into Windows Messenger. It was later in the day when we realised that my company has blocked Windows Messenger or rather all kinds of chats around... Not only that, we now have to input a Username and Password whenever we want to use the internet. -_-'''' Super duper sian lor... Now even if we want to use the internet, it may be monitored by other people... Sian... What to do right?

Rejected...

Damn... I just receive a letter from UniSIM rejecting my application for the January 2009 intake. They say they will consider me a place for the July 2009 intake. This time die liao... Heng I got buy "insurance" and applied with SIM(RMIT) too. Let's hope that SIM(RMIT) will accept me if not, this time I confirm die... Haha...
