15 minutes to go...
15 minutes to go...
Feeling so sian at work..really wish I can do something I am truely interested in. Then, I can go to work each day, feeling exuberant and happy. But then, in reality, not many people have the luxury of doing that...sigh..
Yesterday, I went to see a Chinese Physician, after continuous nagging by my mum almost every other day. I have lots of phlegm stuck in my throat and my coughing each morning must have "irked"my mum non-stop..haha.
Anyway, diagnosis: I am not exactly very healthy, pretty weak in fact, according to the doctor. To be exact, he said I look thin and pale. Maybe that's why I fall sick so often and so easily. He said that my body resisitance is very low. My blood pressure as well..and of course, he encouraged me to exercise. Well well, think I really should start exercising. Maybe I will start by doing leg raises tonight, cuz Piggy has always urged me to do some exercise..
The doctor gave me some medication, which is supposed to be some "tonic" that will make me healthier. I also want to be healthy, then next time I can have healthy baby..haha..
Anyway, Piggy is coming back for a few days next week, feel so happy. Though he will be busy with work, at least I can see him..it makes such a lot of difference when a person is physically present and when a person is not..so I m really looking forward to him coming back!
At least something for me to look forward to in the midst of dreary office life..not exactly looking forward to the work that needs to be done, somehow don't really have the mood to think of creative ideas. Guess the problem is, I am really not interested in innovation in the corporate sense. It can get so dry and boring for me, the person supposed to promote it, let alone others. I wonder how successful we can be...

Good Friends, Good Food, Good Time
Met up with WS yesterday at Swenson and had a good time catching up. Seems like she is really stressed with her new job...sounds really tough and sometimes, hearing things like this makes me feel that I should really be thankful that my work environment is not that bad. At least, our time is not so tightly packed that we have no time to email, chat or surf internet and no matter how frustrated I may be with my boss sometimes, at least he is not a monster & is still understanding and fatherly at times..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went for facial today and did this chemical peel which costs me $95! I hope it's really going to make my skin better cuz the peel was quite torturous to endure. Each time she added the chemicals, my face stung like mad and now, it's still a little red. But according to the beautician, it's supposed to subside within 3 days and make my pores more refined. So during these 3 days, I am supposed to avoid too much sun and acidic products. What a lot of rules to follow...really hope my money has been well-spent..
Following that, I met up with WJ as we were meeting Eve & Cel later that evening and I was kinda stuck cuz I was already in cityhall where we were supposed to meet that evening and it would be silly to go back home & come back again to the same place, so I was glad that she could meet me. We went to Gelare and shared this nice big waffle with 2 yummy scoops of ice-cream. It was good catching up and sharing our problems, worries and uncertainities about the future because somehow, life is never all that perfect and somehow as gals, there seem to always be more things that we worry and think about than guys...
Then we met up with Eve & Cel and proceeded to this restaurant called "Changing Appetite" at Marina Sq. The queue was super long but I am glad to say that the food was worth the queue and price. The service was not bad either cuz the waitresses kept refilling our drinks..haha..I think I have this thing about waitresses or waiters not refilling drinks promptly and it seems to be a very important factor to me when I rate the service of a place...
As usual, we had a good time catching up and sharing about our lives. Cel is getting married soon so there were lots of things to talk about too. How time flies, it seems only yesterday that we were talking about projects and exams, now we are talking about marriage and relationships and as WJ aptly put it, very soon, we would be talking about family and kids and other stuff.
Cel said they didn't want kids immdediately after marriage and she was talking about ways to prevent pregnancy. For me, I guess it's the opposite cuz I have always hoped it won't be too difficult to get pregnant cuz I feel that a family won't be complete without children and I guess that's what brings meaning and joy to the family. But it was useful to hear what she had to say cuz I guess that since we are in opposite positions, whatever she is trying to do would be what I would not want to do..haha..

Down with Flu....
Still feeling rather tired despite having rested home for 2 days (yup, I was on MC!)Felt better today but nose still kinda stuffy. I m really glad that I m on course for the next 2 days..haha..and it's at a hotel...so I hope the food would be good...
Dunno why I always fall sick whenever I return from overseas trips..maybe my body is responding to the fact that I need to go back to work soon..heehee..so getting sick is an expression of how I feel towards work..haha..
Today, I went to Funan to help Piggy get his 'Palm TX' despite the fact that it was raining and I wasn't feeling too fantastic...so he better appreciate my efforts!! haha..Piggy said his colleague would be in Spore fr Wed to Fri so he will see his dear PDA soon...: )
Going to get a rest...shall update again when I m feeling better..

Fruitful Saturday
Woke up early to go to the dentist this morning cuz I wanted to be the first customer of the day. Reason being, the dentist had advised me that it was good to come during office hours (which I can't always do) otherwise, I would need to spend a long time waiting, like the first time I went there. He said the clinic was always busy and true enough, there was always someone waiting outside when I finished. So I thought, I would be the first one, then I wouldn't have to wait..and true enough, I was the very first one and I didn't have to wait. The dentist helped me replace the grey filling with the white one and now, my teeth looks much whiter..haha..feel quite happy about it and I guess Piggy would be pleased too cuz he is always 'complaining' that my teeth is too yellow...but each trip to the dentist is really expensive...think being a dentist really earns good money...
Then I went home, did some stuff and met up with SM at Orchard. It was really crowded, maybe because the Christmas lightings were up. Had a good time catching up with her. It's always interesting to hear abt the latest updates back where we were. She was feeling quite 'sian' cuz of the ill-treatment at work and also kinda lonely cuz her boyfriend is out of town for a month. And we both agreed that it's not always easy to get people to go out during weekends cuz most of our friends are attached and then those who are not attached always seemed to be the 'gym' or 'sports' crazy kind of person. Furthermore, it's not always nice to ask people out just because your other half is out of town. So sometimes, we just hang around at home, which can get extremely boring. Guess I can understand her feelings cuz I feel kinda lonely when Piggy is not around too.
Anyway, MY happened to message me cuz she was also feeling bored so SM & I proceeded to Starbucks and met her there. It felt really good to meet up with ex-colleagues again and I am glad that we still keep in touch after all this while...I always feel that it's sad that friends drift apart after a while and I am always grateful for my friends back at that dreaded place where we all used to work cuz somehow, maybe because of the nature of our job at that time, we were more closely-knitted.
Yesterday at Sakae Sushi, E asked Poodie if she still kept in touch with her ex-colleagues and she said 'no' although they used to be really close, cuz she said it takes 2 hands to clap and I do agree with that. Cuz I remembered that LT once told me that everyone is busy with their own lives but if no efforts is made to meet up, sooner or later friends will drift apart..I do hope that our friendships made here would not just come to naughts after we leave this place..

Love is the greatest gift of all...
Haven't updated my blog for ages..been rather busy the past weeks but have settled down to a more comfortable pace..haha, at least for yesterday and today cuz my boss finally decided to give himself a break by taking 'MC'!! Actually, I feel that that's the way to go and by doing so, he is actually setting a very good example! : ) Cuz, I feel strongly that you should never come to work when you are sick if you can help it, because you can easily spread the germs to others around you and that's not a very nice thing to do! To think I was just telling Poodie some time back that although my boss is sneezing and coughing away, he never seemed to want to take "MC"!!
Feeling a little drowsy after lunch so I thought I would update my blog and catch up on the past few weeks' happenings. Let me see...
The week I stopped blogging was when there were the stupid meetings going on, so I wasn't really in the mood to blog. Guess I should complain less about work on this precious blog of mine, cuz I never know when my boss would chance upon my blog. After all, he seems quite updated on people's blogs and seemed to find blogging quite intriguing, cuz he asked me once, "Do you blog?" and I said "No" cuz at that time, I haven't started blogging and I hope he will always think this way cuz I don't think I would want him to read my blog!! Haha..
After that horrible week, my dearest little piggy came back and we got really busy preparing for our "ROM" and stuff. Think we were almost packed the entire week he was back, it seems like there was so much to do! But at least now, we have settled the videographer for AD (who also did our "ROM"). It was quite fun actually, going around, doing the little things cuz sometimes, it's the little things that truly matters.
Then our big day!! Glad that everything went smoothly despite the rain on that morning, which stopped quite some time before our scheduled time. And by afternoon that day, the sun was shining bright! The following are some snapshots from our "ROM", courtesy of piggy's old-time friend, seaweed. Only shots without our faces cuz piggy has this thing about not posting our pics on the web...The photographer's photos would only be ready in 3 weeks time so I will update again then...
Here's our solemnisation table and chairs, nicely done up in "Blue"..that's our theme!

The beautiful buffet setup: Honestly, I was quite impressed, I hadn't expected something that looked so nice. My friends told me it looked almost 'magical' and it kind of reminded me of Christmas (which is my all-time favourite season) cuz of all the lights and best of all, there were hints of blue, which was in line with our theme!!
Closeup of our solemnisation table, with the lovely precious moments dolls, scroll, toasting flukes and our beautiful ringpillow, customised with our names and solemnisation date! Piggy even joked that the dolls would come alive at night!
Our ring-exchange, can't really see our beautiful 'lord of the rings' but I think the photographer would have taken a close-up of our ringpillow with our rings, will post pic again..
