Don't Quit

I saw this card while I was packing my stuff the other day. It was something that I bought many years ago when I was probably still in JC. Meaningful words...

Don't Quit

When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging
seems all uphill,

When the funds are low
and the debts are high,
and you want to smile
but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit
rest if you must but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
and you never can tell
how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar,
so stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit...

It's when things seem worst
that you must not quit!

Gathering with my Poly Girlfriends

I met up with my poly girlfriends at Jurong Point for dinner on Thursday. Wah... Jurong Point is soooo big after the extension. However, no matter how big Jurong Point is now, it seems to still be as crowded as ever. That place is forever soooo crowded... -_-'''

We had dinner at Thai Express. One thing for sure, I will never ever eat Thai Pineapple Fried Rice there again. I love to eat Thai Pineapple Fried Rice but honestly, the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice there is the worst that I had ever tasted before. Totally put off. :x It is good that the manager tried to do some service recovery by making them cook a new Thai Pineapple Fried Rice for me when we told him that there was a weird taste to it. Too bad the second serving of it was only slightly better but still not something that I like at all. Luckily KS's green curry saved my day by covering the taste or else I doubt I will even eat it and have a proper dinner.

It's always nice to meet up with my poly girlfriends. We even decided to meet up every first Thursday of the month as I am only free on Mondays and Thursdays. I am looking forward to the next meet up! :D

Happy Valentines' Day!

Happy Valentines' Day! People go out to celebrate Valentines' Day, me? I actually have lesson today! We were informed that there will be lesson only on Wednesday lor... Fainted... Haha...

I am not those people who are very "heng" about Vday. At most I will just go out for dinner with my bf or something. This year's Vday is no different. We had dinner at MOF in Bugis Junction. I had been wanting to try the food there. The food there is ok only. I think I will prefer the food in Ma Maison.

After dinner, we shopped around for a while and went to my friend's place to play mahjong! Haha... I had been thinking of playing mahjong ever since CNY but only had the chance today. :D It's just too bad that I did not win any money today. It's ok though because we are all playing just for the fun of it. :P Maybe next time ba... :)

Tired...

I am feeling very tired ever since I start my school. There is almost no time for me to do anything. I feel so tired everyday especially since the start of my projects. Maybe it is because it has been a few years since I graduated from my Advanced Diploma so I am no longer used to the life of working full time and studying part time. Maybe it is because I am old liao. Whatever it is, I definitely feel more tired at the end of the day.

Just yesterday after I got home from my date with my Poly girlfriends, I showered and sat in front of my computer wanting to do my project and assignment that was due today. My sister came into the room and borrowed my laptop as she wanted to send a quick email. I thought that since I have to wait for her and I have no idea how "quick" is her quick email so I thought I will rest while waiting for her. I told her to wake me up when she's done. I end up waking at 6.30 this morning. -_-''''

Because of the lack of sleep these days, I am now like the Singapore Panda because of how dark my eye circles have become. Prior to this, my eye circles are already in very bad condition, now it's even worse. :( Sigh... No eye gel seems to be working... Super sian... Maybe I should dump my money and try La Mer... Unless someone is willing to sponsor me... Valentines' Day is tomorrow. I wonder if there is any kind soul who is willing to buy me La Mer's Creme de la Mer? Not very expensive lah... It just cost $265 for 30mL...

Thumbdrives

My bf bought some cars from the departmental stores and modified them to become very cute thumbdrives. :D

Cute right? :D

Randoms...

10 million Toto Draw
The dream to be one of the winners to the 10 million Toto draw is still a dream after all... So sad... Never mind... I will be one of them the next time round! :P

MSN Messenger tio banned Again!
I went back to work after Chinese New Year to receive news that MSN messenger which was banned is back in action again in the office. We were all delighted by the news. Who won't be happy to know that we can start chatting in the office again during office hours? We are "connected" again! I went into office yesterday to face problem logging into MSN messenger again. MSN Messenger tio banned again... Sigh... What a short lived happiness. HJ was telling me to take it as a CNY bonus... Sigh...

Busy...
My projects for my school have started liao... This time round I am doing project with 3 girls in my class. One of them is a very cute girl (Ok... I officially take back those words). Very timeline driven person. It is good to have this kind of person in the group. At least there is someone who is pushing you to work. :) Starting of my projects means I have less time for everything else. It also means that my no-life life is going to start again. It feels like I am going back to my Advanced Diploma days again...

Tio suan siao...

For some reason, my colleague and I have been feeling that my manager is getting weirder and weirder as the time goes by. We just ignore him because there is nothing much we can do about it also.

Recalling an incident that happened last Friday... I came into office on time on Friday and although he was seated at his desk and I walked passed him while getting some water from the pantry, I did not greet him good morning as he seem occupied with his stuff. His face was also quite "black" so all the more I want to avoid him at all cost. What for find trouble for myself right? He left the office for a meeting with his boss later in the morning so by the time I saw him again, it was already after lunch.

He left 2 ang baos for me on my desk and I went out to look for him to thank him for the ang bao and also to discuss some work with him. Anyway, I ended up tio suan siao by him whereby he implied that I wished him Happy CNY just because of the ang baos. Fine, he can think what he wants. Even though I got suan siaoed by him over that, he was only throwing his own face. The rest of the people in the office came and commented things like "Why is he so petty one?" "Your boss not in good mood today arh? He's very moody leh" over the things that he said to me. I don't even need to go and complain to the people outside about what he suaned me because everyone heard him suan-ed me. I don't think I am at fault for not wishing him a Happy CNY the first thing I come into the office. Nobody says that it is a must for me to wish him a Happy CNY. To think you suaned me about it just because of this? So who's at fault here? Definitely not me. Just too bad for him for throwing his own face...
