Too much to blog about.
Brand new year, brand new priorities and responsibilities. Same old worries and uncertainties...
Will we make it there?
Will I achieve the goals I've set for myself ultimately? so worried....
Sometimes I find myself too old those childish-ness, but too young to handle big things~
Gonna do something to my hair soon. Need a change....
Wish me luck, this week gonna be tough. Bye~

Yesterday is HistoryIts been some time since I last blogged. Have been really tied up with work and life out of work... I've learnt alot, feels like I'm put on years of age even though its just 3+ months of worklife. Everyday is a lesson to me, absorbing as much as possible, trying to get the hang of it as fast as possible and lucky enough I've got a good mentor now.
We were thinking about this. How come for some people, they can be a banker at their 20s, driving a porsche, achieving so much at such young age? From my understanding, I realised that a Good degree won't be able to take you this far. With a humble background, even you're top student from local U, I doubt you'll be given a chance like this. Unless you're Harvard's/Yale top graduates, this might give you higher chance, but still on what basis will those big foreign banks be looking at to grant a fresh grad a banker job?
My Ans is: Family influence. Chances don't come just like this. Degree is just a piece of paper, it puts you in the interviewee list but doesn't guarantee you a seat in that company, don't even dream about that hotseat when most jobseekers out there are Degree holders and some even had a few years of experience.
Don't even think that you're a Degree holder, you should be earning whatever amount you think is appropriate, as meanwhile companies out there are really cutting down their expenses and headcounts and here you're, greenhorn looking at what $3-4k? They might as well not retrench their experienced staff, at least they can save their saliva... Well, if you're doing a commission-based job, if you've that glib tongue its possible to achieve that thick pay cheque.
We just have to be realistic in life, being naive will only put you in this kind of situation, one day you'll feel like you've been slapped on the face, so hard you'll probably wake up from 10 years of sweetdreams...
Seems like I've realised alot just over this few weeks... Moving on...........
2 weeks ago, I had my worst week in my entire life. Really... Worst than breakups I feel. Every single day at work I'm hurt and arrowed by people whom I have to try to help. My heart almost died... Was so depressed I felt like just stopping myself from going to work, I just feel like giving up for a while...
Thank god for them.
They revived me over that weekend.
Now full of drive and motivated :)
I remembered that Sun, I went over to Bf's in the afternoon, thinking that he'll be cooking Seafood Aglio. However, bf being a pig just woke up and was eating his brunch. So sadly I was grumbling, "I thought you said you're cooking, I was looking forward to it." Then I was like, forget it and I sanked into the sofa while my eyes stick to the tv.
After his brunch, he quietly go into the kitchen, pull out those prawns, clams, mussels, linguine and started whipping up my favourite. So happy I'm, Glutton, I know. But its really delicious, the best so far... Hope he can cook more often. Hehe...
He volunteered to take over the wheels, so all I did was relax in the car, while we went to so many places.
Island creamery, one of them.....
How can I not feel happy?
Heavenly :)
That's like the little bit of updates over the past few weeks.
More to come, hope its soon!
Goodnite world :)

Snipets of Events.Today one of my colleague told me that she once told her husband that "
if ever there's a next lifetime, I still wanna be with you again." So sweeeeeeeeeeet. Can imagine how deep is their love, they must have been through so much to be together and her husband must be a real great man to be with. My colleague have always told me how happy she is with her family, her husband, always saying that she's lucky to met him and stuff like that... She's a real nice lady, she really deserve all this. God is fair...
I wonder when will this day happen to me, when I'll say to my husband, I hope I'll still meet you in my next life.....
Happenings.......
The F1 saturday, a night for the top sales staff, filled with french cuisine, specially flown in.
Nah. I'm not doing sales, just invited to go and enjoy :)
I guess I'll never like Foie Gras like how caucasians can never appreciate durian.
Yest the Group MD came down to our office, a big hoohah, blah blah blah...
Its also our 'Hats off day' so almost everyone brought their hat and caps, took our hats off tgt at the talk to show appreciation to those who contributed and did well.
Chin became part of us. haha... Got her to come in since there's an opening... We were supposed to wear orange yest, so tt explains.
I look so tired. The 1st 3 days of work this week was kinda stressful. Got to clear things up, 'coz I'm suddenly owing so many people things. When its urgent, they really expect it to be done like in the next second....
........
Clubbing! Love St james! When r we going again?
Yesterday's my bf big day. We had fish & Co, simple dinner coz both of us had so much things to do... The Spicy crayfish pasta, full of ingredients.
My bf loves the 'side dish' present I got him, specially landed on his bed. I'm gonna take a pic of it soon and post it up!

Lots of updates recently, but no time to blog about it. Work has been challenging yet I'm enjoying it, time pass so fast, which is good, weekends come sooner like this. haha...
I wonder when should I apply my leave or carry forward for once ....... But I definitely need to take a break some time in between...

I LOVE my Long Weekend!!!
I......................................................................
Ate alot over this 3 days.
Went back to work at 1pm on Saturday.
Let my hair down at St James on Saturday night, with 2 bottles of Johnny Walker but drank only 3/4 bottle with our strength that night.
Had my 1st ever very spooky experience. ( @ Harbourfront centre toilet)
Slept till I feel like waking up for 2 days. SHIOK!
Met up with my girls to celebrate Jess's bday and MJMJMJMJMJ. So addicted!
I wanna go back to St James soon!!! Finish up the rest of the bottles and dance like mad. I really think that St James is so much better than Phuture, the music totally rocks with balloons falling and bartenders doing pole dance. LOL... Friends!! Lets go in full strength the next time k!
NUS stop robbing my dearest friends of their life!!! Darius don't even have the time to meet me for lunch for the past 2 weeks due to projects. Poor J and Cc, looks like they're so tired and lost weight ever since they started school. Really feel for them... Hope their worse time will be over soon.
Love my naughty bunnies, they add sunshine to my life when days become dull :)
Hope this week passby in the blink of an eyelid~

Suki's
So worth the money.
I've grabbed hold of an hard to come by opportunity esp. at this time when almost all financial intermediaries are freezing their headcount, other than sales position. My company pay off my contract and converted me as of tmr. Yeah! Have been talking about this conversion since 3rd week of work, and it only materialised now. Luckily, it did drag on for some time if not I won't be able to get a perm position like this, I might just be hired through the Mas program.
Finally all my plans can start to run with a stable income. Many things in life have to be accomplished with money, sometimes alot of money as an investment for better outcome...
This space is really collecting spiderweb. Although there's many happenings, so many gatherings and events, we did not manage to take pictures... OH. Last Sat Jess and I went for our virgin Brazilian Wax. Its good! The aftermath is Clean and really comfortable. But I guess the 1st time is always painful to a certain extent. Well, We're definitely going to try other outlets till we find one we're really satisfied with... Btw, we went to Pink Palour at Marina Sq, the place is quite small and I'm kinda lost throughout the preparation process, maybe they thought we're regulars....
Some pictures to end this post...
Aglio by Timbre
Good!!
My favourite boy.
And the 3rd party. LOL.
Boyfriend, I want to eat this. Pls cook for me :)
Till the next post.... Goodbye!

PerfectionFind a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep...
Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on.
One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'
This makes me feel contented.
Too busy for a proper update......
I'm pretty happy with my results. The amount of effort put in = to the amount of my harvest. Kinda surprise by it too. Finally, I'm done with SIM. Yeah!!!Got to slp. bye~
