New phrase of my life

I haf delayed this entry for like 2 weeks already.. haha.. I officially bidded goodbye to my student-hood and is now proceeding to the next phrase of my life.. ~drum roll~!!! haha.. the ADULTHOOD aka WORKING HOOD??? Welcome to the reality...

I MIA~ed for quite some time le.. coz i am real tired and exhausted... I nv felt like tt b4... i dunno why.. I haf not been sleeping well for the past 2 weeks.. though mentally and physically tired but somehow i keep waking up many times during the night.. sigh.. Am I overwhelmed? or overly stressed? haha..

Well, my job is tough i would say... having a non miltary/NS background... mindef has way too many abbreviations and acroynms tt i am unfamilar wif.. Chim org structure and processes tt i am unclear wif.. etc etc but tell me if there's any job tt is easy??? haha.. I take tt as a learning process.. (i shall learn as i do). Given some time.. i would be able to speak like them (tts my goal).. YAY!! At least I am starting to see the ball coming.. and after hearing and reading alot, i no longer felt so lost as a week ago.. I will get there!!! " The secret of happiness is not in doing wat one likes, but in liking wat one does." I think this is absolutely true!!! And when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

My boss is a nice and understanding person.. he is very smart too (based on my observations)!! my colleagues were great too!!! They were very helpful and nice to me!! hehe.. tts a super plus pt coz a good working environment really makes a diff!!!

Alright.. on the fifth day of work.. boss treated us lunch!! We had subway for lunch and a small cake... tts to celebrate the august "babies" (me included, plus 4 other colleagues --> so many leos ya!! haha) and to welcome me!! hehe.. had a nice chat wif everybody.. we tok about everything under the world.. from boss's daughter incident to sports to food to work related stuff... haha..

Well done S'pore

** Drum roll ** Finally, after 48 years... we managed to get a silver medal!!! Well done Lee Jia Wei, Feng Tian Wei and Wang Jia Gu... Although they were abit nervous but they did their best and did us proud...

I watched this 2.5 hrs match till so 心惊胆战 lor!! haha.. Anw, i so feel like smacking the other party lor.. so 嚣张跋扈.. uncivilized!!! Shall not pen down my thots about them.. haha.. dun wanna spoil the mood..

The award presentation ceremony was so heart warming.. only the Singapore gals were hugged when they were presented their Silver medal.. its so nice to see the Singapore 5 stars flag flying!!! clap clap.. :)

Oh btw.. 总理“让球” 让国人专心观赛,全力支持!! This is the first time wor.. PM Lee actually "postpone" his national day speech (Eng) till tmr.. haha.. This shows the Singapore Spirit!! YEAH...

tv holic..

It has been long since i last watched a korean drama.. let me think.. it shld be 3 years since i bid goodbye to my korean dramas.. Recalling during my JC days where I am a super ultimate korean drama fan.. to the extent where I think my whole class called me korean drama queen... esp angeline, xt and christel.. (and this actually made xt's mum thot i am from korea...) haha.. and i am a person who can repeatedly watched the whole drama (of coz skipping the parts tt i dun like) more than thrice and i wont be sicked of it.. call me crazy or wat.. haha.. and usually after the show... my " 失落感" and "无助感" will appear..

After the 3 yrs, I began to switch to tvb series... probably coz 1) I watched too many korean drama liao.. 2) the recent (3yrs ago i mean) ranked excellent and most pop shows seem kinda stupid and so not nice to me.. (to think a tv addict will say tt!! haha) actors not shuai.. plot kinda stupid.. 3) i had completed a whole and wide range of korean dramas.. be it modern or gu zhuang shows ranging.. therefore kinda sianz liao.. haha..

Den i became a tvb fan!! and i am still one now.. wahaha... superb!!! Over these 3 yrs.. i have watched many great productions!! Marvellous... haha.. watching moonlight resonance and when dog loves cat now... (waiting for hk tvb channel to air it daily so tt someone will post it online.. hee)

3 yrs later.. yest.. i juz finished watching one korean drama entitled 1% possibility in 1 and a half day.. wahaha... once again.. my 失落感 resurfaced..

BUT from mon onwards.. i doubt i will haf time watching tvb series and immersing in the storyline liao.. haha.. unless during weekends? coz i am a person who will need to finish the whole show asap de.. otherwise i wont be able to concentrate on the work i am doing.. and will keep day dreaming about the plots.. and I need a week to heal my 失落感.. wahaha.. luckily i got self discipline.. haha.. i forbid myself from watching the many shows tt i yearned to during sch days. coz once start, i cant stop.. but if i nv start, den i wont 追...

Pre Bdae treat...

Daddy treated us to Grand Hyatt hotel's Straits Kitchen for a quite ex buffet lunch.. advance celebration for my 22nd birthday.. hehe.. (and coincidentally.. today is my lunar's bdae).. They served a wide variety of food.. from the local chinese delicacies like popiah, black pepper prawns, carrot cake, duck, laksa, prawn mee etc to indian food like prata, curry, tandorri chicken etc and malay food like satay, sambal stingray, otah etc to many snacks and deserts like muah chi, onah onah, rojak, many noya kuehs , long xu tang and ice cream etc etc.. too many to list them all out.. haha.. it is one of the most spacious wif the most variety of food tt i haf seen so far.. (for buffet wise).. BUT i muz admit tt i din eat alot today!! haha... but I definetely ate more than usual.. haha.. I would rate it 7/10.. haha.. The place is cosy and nicely decorated BUT it was too crowded and noisy le.. wif many pple wearing tees.. (2 less popcorns for tt).. haha.. coz i would prefer a quiet, cosy and nice ambience place wif great food of course.. haha..

Oh btw.. yeah!!! After 48 years, Singapore's table tennis team managed to beat their way into the finals... we are gg to get an Olympics medal.. be it Gold or silver.. Congrats!!! Tmr is the defining round... jia you Singapore..
