Rainbow After The Rain ♥

Its been a really Stressful, Busy, Emotions-filled Week!

Havent got time or the mood to blog since last week. Work has been really busy! Work is piling up, many datelines to meet, and my memory is literally like a Goldfish these days! Just way tooo much going on in my head!

Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert? Or Simply an Extroverted Introvert better known as Social Introverts

Happen to chance upon this article while browsing through facebook and thought it will be really interesting to share it. Especially since I felt it almost entirely describes me. I've always struggled between being an introvert at times and at extrovert at times, and thought I probably had like a split personality. But after reading this article, suddenly everything makes sense now!

Hope this article would enlighten you as much as it enlightened me! =)

I really wish...

Like most people, I really wish I can turn back time too. I would really like to go back to when I was younger? These past few years, I honestly have no idea what I have been doing, messing with my own life and all. (But of cause there are also moments that are really precious which I would never forget as well.)

Looking back, I felt like I did many things wrong in the past. The way I led my life, the people I hang out with, the things I did, the path I took. If I could I probably would have done many things differently which may result in a different me today. A better me (or at least I think).

But life is such. We wont know the outcome til we've gone through it. We wont know if the path we took is wrong til we have walk down the path. And sadly there is no such thing as a time machine that could bring us back to the past.

Despite have many regrets in life. We have to accept reality, learn from our mistakes, and move on from there hoping that life ahead from the moment of realization would result in a better us in the present or future.

Just random rants from a random thought that struck me every now and then when I have some alone time to ponder, think and reflect.

P.s  No worries not really in a emotional state now. And even if I was, that would be before I wrote this post. I should be feeling better now after blogging though! =)

I am coming back!

Its been awhile since I last blogged a proper blogpost. Not about any advertorials, or reviews, or food recipes. Just plain blogging about my personal life.

I started out blogging many years back, probably 10 years ago or more, just blogging about my life, my thoughts and random other rantings. It was a platform that I would always go to, to jot down bits and pieces of my life so that when I grow older I can read them up and reminisce about my silly younger days and probably have a good laugh or a good cry. It was a place filled with alot of my memories that my brain can no longer contain as there is just so much going on everyday, and we will all tend to forget certain important milestones or precious memories that will make us feel like we have led a fulfilling life. It was also a platform I used to rant when I'm feeling really upset, angry or depress, and it never fails to make me feel better after blogging.

I have been so busy recently to document anything in here. Feels like my 1 to 2 years worth of memories that I didnt have the time to blog about have been erased or locked up somewhere in my head. Thank God at least there is still Facebook which I use to document photos as my only other source of memories. But I do hope moving forward I will at least make some time to continue blogging not just for advertorials or reviews or food recipes, but to share with all of your about some of my life events as well. =)

Truly appreciate all my loyal readers who still tend to ask me why I havent been blogging recently, and also some of you who are still visiting my blog now and tend despite my lack of post and updates. Thank You All Very Much for the Unwavering Support! -xoxo-

OH! September Store!!!

Something EXCITING has just been Launched!!!

After thinking about it and procrastinating for such a long time, with many failed attempts due to friends who back out on me last minute, I decided this time I will officially start something on my own!!

To prevent further procrastination, I decided to register my business this time round! No more excuses~

Previously I had started up at least 4 blogshops. 2 of it was done up but never launched due to friends backing out. Subsequently I had 2 other blogshops + a personal account on Carousell selling my 2nd hand stuff. Decided that its way too tedious to manage so many shops at a time on my own, and I wanted a platform where I can sell everything and manage everything on just 1 site. With 2 shops previously, I had to print seperate set of labels, design 2 different logos, advertising materials, and keep my accounts separately. And its worse when I had to check and log in to 2 different accounts everyday and check 2 emails everyday as well. I ended up forgetting to check sometimes or check one and neglect the other and missing many sales inquiries and orders. Apologies to all my customers about it! 

So this time round, to make things easier for both myself and my customers, its going to be just 1 site. Everyone just have to remember OH! SEPTEMBER, An ALL-in-ONE Online Store to cater to everyone! And I promise to provide faster replies and better service since I can now better manage with just 1 site to check and look after!

OH! September is an all-in-one online store officially registered with ACRA on 29 September with Business Registration No.: 53276990. Website is fully functional and launched on 30th September 2014. To find out more, CHECK OUT OH! SEPTEMBER NOW!

Wisdom Tooth Extraction - 1st Session

After procrastinating for 5years, I finally gathered enough courage and went to the dentist for my wisdom tooth extraction. Partly it is due to 1 of my molar that chipped and I kinda had no choice but to go. Plus my toothache has been bothering me for quite some time now.

My Dentist:

Vincent's Dental

245 Tanjong Katong Road 437033

http://www.vincentsdentalsurgery.com/

First visit to the dentist to check on my broken tooth and was told that my molar is in very bad shape and I had only 2 options.

1) Get a root canal and crowning done on the tooth

2) Extract the whole tooth and do a dentistry implant

But even if I wanted to do any of the above options, I was told that I will first have to remove my wisdom tooth before they are able to do anything my wisdom tooth is the main cause for my molar tooth breaking up in the first place.

And so I quickly made the earliest possible appointment and on Friday 17th Oct, I went to the dentist in the morning for my wisdom tooth extraction.

Signed the indemnity form and medisave form and went in for an xray. After the xray, my dentist told me that my broken molar is actually worse than he thought, and definitely worse than I can imagine. Apparently my nerves have all been exposed and he is surprise that I can tolerate the pain for 2 to 3 weeks before visiting him.

And so, his advice was for me to do the implants as even if I had done the root canal and crowning, chances are, a few years down the road or if i ever chewed on something hard, it may just break again. Therefore for a safer choice and more effective solution, the implant is recommended so that the tooth will last my lifetime and I should not have to worry about it anymore.

And so of cuz, the logical choice was to do the implants and I chose that option.

With that choice made, my dentist proceeded with the extractions.

But first, the nurses wrapped me up in the surgical cloth and covered my eyes as they could tell I was really scare. I was literally trembling soooo bad that the whole seat was trembling with me. I trembled from the moment I sat down til the whole event was over. (SERIOUSLY) Now I totally understand how scare Muffin must have been when he's at the vet or when its raining heavily with thunder and lightning. Cause he was trembling as bad as I was.

To all those out there who says that the dentist is not scary, and the wisdom tooth extraction is not painful. You are all liars!! (Well at least to me you lied!! Cause I have almost ZERO tolerance to pain!!!)

1) The anesthetic injection to numb my gums was ULTIMATE painful!! And I had to suffer through 2 jabs, 1 on the top and 1 on bottom of my gums. Subsequent jabs was alright as by then my gums area is already numb. - By the first jab, I was already in tears and whining like a child. And without a doubt the same goes for the 2nd jab.

2) He first proceeded to remove my top right molar. Honestly I felt no pain for this one. I initially thought he was just "testing" when I felt him tugging at the tooth. But I didnt realize it was already out.

3) Then he started tugging real hard on my molar, which is the biggest tooth that we all have! And....Its Sooooooo Freaking PAINFUL!! I had to stop him and told him it hurts real bad, and so he decided to give me 1 more jab to numb he further. I started whining even more, and crying even more, and even kicked around in pain!

4) After the jab, he tried again on the molar. Tugging and twisting, and again I was in pain and crying and whining real bad trying to get him to stop again. He started talking to me, trying to get my attention off the pain, and joked around like I was a kid. And then he started teasing me and the next moment he said " Haha tricked you! Its out!! "

5) Before I could react, he started working on my bottom right molar, and again it was painful. He used quite a bit of strength and I could tell as the pressure on my tooth was real hard and I was sooooo worried he will hurt my cheek or something. And again he was trying hard to get my attention elsewhere and talking to me throughout. I shut my eyes real tight, and soon enough, he FINALLY said " Its out!! Its all done!! "

6) And silly me asked him "Oh?! What about the top wisdom tooth??" And he laughed and said, "It was long gone, the first to be out! No pain right?? Haha! " and I went "Oh........hahaha ok..."

7) Then he proceed to stitch me up as after removing 2 tooth side by side on the bottom, it meant that the whole is pretty big and bleeding alot, and it will take a much longer time to heal if its not stitched up.

And finally DONE for the first session.

Here is my swollen face, and a snapshot of my 3 extracted tooth with the scary needle!

I shall not upload the clearer photo of my tooth as I think it looks kinda gross and I dont think I will wanna scare you guys with it.

(My Hubby was totally grossed out by the photo and ended up having to skip his meal as I showed it to him just before lunch. *oops* Haha!!)

Yea first session, because I still have another 2 more wisdom tooth to be extracted on my left side!! *sulks* Super not looking forward but I know I have no choice as I do not want the same problem to repeat itself and I certainly do not want another broken molar on my left~!

After everything was done, placed some gauze to stop the bleeding, before I head out to get my painkillers, antibiotics, anti-swelling pills, mouth gargle, and medical certificate. And also to fix another appointment for my dentistry implants to be done!!

My next appointment would be 3 months later after my current wounds are all healed before they can do the xray to check again as well as do the necessary for the implants before the actual implants are placed in, in 6months time! Super scare as well, as I will need to go through the jabs again and can you imagine implanting a screw into our gums?! So not fun!~

Not looking forward either, but again, NO CHOICE! If not I will not be able to chew and eat properly without my molar!!!

And so for the last 3 days I had been on mostly LIQUID diets!!

For 3 reasons:

1) It hurts when I move my mouth too much or chew, and I worry if I accidentally chew on the wounds it will be SUPER PAINFUL

2) If food gets stuck in the wound, I do not think it will be a very good experience or situation

3) I do not want to aggravate the wound and hoping for speedy recovery!!

And so here is my diet for the last 3 days, and probably for the next few days til I feel better and safer to eat proper food~

1) Water

2) Milk

3) Soyamilk

4) Soya Beancurd

5) Soft boiled eggs prepared by my hubby

6) Mashed potatoes prepared by my hubby

6) Chocolate milk

7) Yoghurt

8) Mushy Baby-like Porridge with mashed carrots (Baby food prepared by my mother and father in law)

9) Soup

And do avoid taking soup or drinks that are too hot!!

And I must say, this is a GREAT time to lose weight if you are trying hard to lose those extra weight~ My tummy is now flat and I probably lost at least 3kgs within this 3 days! Super awesome!

Hereby want to Thank my Hubby, Mother and Father in law for taking great care of me, specially cooking for me so that I can have more varieties of food to eat rather than just drinking soya milk and milk~ =)

And thanks to my dentist Dr Vincent Tan for trying his best to let me feel less pain and making the effort to try distract me and joking with me to make me feel better. :)

Last but not least, THANK GOD for the courage, and that everything went smoothly during the extraction, and I guess my wounds are healing well so far~ =)

Growing Up!!~

I'm so caught up with counting down and looking forward to my solemnization that I didn't realize my birthday (which is just 5 days after my solemnization) is also nearing til my friend reminded me about it!!

ONE More Month til my Birthday!~

I'm really getting old!~ Til I no longer look forward to my birthday as much as I use to when I was younger. Cause every coming birthday would mean another year older~

 I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!~

BUT, this year it will be a little different. Because this year, I'm gonna be celebrating my birthday with a new status promotion, with my promoted other half, my Husband, and my newly grown family tree branches, my Parents-in-law, and Sister-in-law!!!

My wishes last year and previous years had finally came true, and I'm looking forward to making new wishes this year!!!

One year older also mean one year wiser!!

Moving on to the next phrase of my life~ No longer left on the unwanted dusty shelf!! Yay to that!

And THANK GOD for everything!

All those bad past and experience, I Thank God for those too, it made me a better person, a more mature person and I certainly learn alot from them and grew wiser from them too! Looking forward to better years ahead with much more interesting things in life to learn~ =)

Embarking on a new career~

Yet again, I've made another move! Embarking on yet another new career! Hoping to learn more, gain more experience, make more new friends and of course to earn more!

My career with my previous company had been rather fulfilling. I made some really good friends, bros, and in particular my new found bff and sister, Wendy! =) Although my tenure there is not exactly long, but with just 8months we had forged a really strong friendship! Sharing food, drinks, knowledge, gossips, shopping together, online shopping together, etc etc. I really miss those times now! As we sit next to each other, you can imagine how much we chit chatted and snack together!!

 

 

 

My BFF, Wendy! (*^.^*)

With my pretty colleague, Bianca, whom I am very thankful for enhancing my Excel skills!

 

 My new found Ah Kor, Wilson~ Always helpful, always cracking up jokes! =)

Some other colleagues~ Benjamin and Mike!

 With sweety Alifah~

 With super cute and funny Christina~

 At work with full gear! Safety Boots and Safety Vest! With Chan, LingLing & Mike!

 With lovely Serene!

 Missing all the fun we have!~

Miss the BBQ, booze and singing sessions~

And last but not least all the nice funny bosses and colleagues~ =)

Aside from friendship, I must say I did learn alot and improved my Excel skills while with my previous employer. But as my role is pretty restricted and there were lots of uncertainty boiling up, I decided to leave when a better opportunity arrive!

Bye to my company pass~

Hoping my current new role would be as fulfilling, or if not, more fulfiling, and I hope this would be the company that I can stay for at least 2 to 3 years or if not more, as I really dread job hopping again. Not that I want to, but circumstances forced me to.

With that said, ALL THE BEST TO ME!!

And Good Luck also to my dearest bff Wendy on her new role, and to all of you who are looking for a new job or just started a new role, ALL THE BEST!!

September!! A month of MANY happenings! Both Good and Bad!

This is sooooo backdated. But still I would like to blog about this and keep a memory of it.

SEPTEMBER. A month of many events and happenings. Lets start with the BAD, as I usually like to end my post on a positive note, so I'll end with the GOOD! =)

The BAD.

- I'm out of job AGAIN. (this is a story for another day. irks me to even think about it.)

- I lost my car number plate. Fell out while I was driving on the expressway after a tree branch flew over and hit my car.

- Had to send my car for the usual servicing.

- Car radiator leak and other parts decides to spoil on me and had me stuck on the expressway for 1hr waiting for it to cook down before we drive off to the nearest petrol kiosk to fill it up with water and I had to spend money to get it changed and fixed.

- Road tax and insurance and season parking are all due at the same time.

Conclusion: Income stopped. Expenses increase like nobody's business! Financial Crisis for me!!

The GOOD.

- My birthday

- My bf's birthday

- Trip to Batam with boyfy

- Set up a new business venture partnering with boyfy

Will blog about each individual GOOD event soon! =)

Stay tuned!! ♥♡

1 of Top 10 Relationship Wreckers : Social Networking Site / Internet

Today I would like to blog about something that I feel is a serious problem among people these days. Internet is inevitably something important is everyone's lives in today's society. Without the internet we would be very outdated and wont be able to keep up with a lot of things.

I too agree that I'm a internet or social network (facebook) addict. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it if you are using it rightly. For example to look for long time friends, or to keep up to date with your friend's well being and life if they were to upload anything. Its also a place for you to update your friends of your life and share your unhappiness or happiness and also to share beautiful photos, quotes and even videos to brighten people's day. Well at least for me that's how I see it.

You may disagree. You may feel like its stalking people. But if you feel so, then all I can say is restrict your profile and don't let people see, or rather you shouldn't even be uploading anything or sharing anything if you feel that your life is intruded because the sole purpose of uploading is to share and let people see it.

Ok back to topic.

I'm not against all social network. Facebook is fine if you are using it appropriately as per mentioned above. But some other site or apps are really purely for knowing more people of the opposite sex and I would say these may be helpful for the singles and lonely. But for people who are attached or married, I feel there are certain things which you should not do or refrain from doing. Its a form of respect for your partners and to give them security. If you love the person enough or am happy in a relationship or marriage, would you still need more guys/girls or rather people of the opposite sex in your life? Face it, what else can you do in there other than adding more people of the other sex and chatting with them? The site or app is boring if you are just clicking around not doing anything else. So what else can you be doing in there?

I personally am an ex social networking addict, and know a couple of my ex boyfriends from there, so I know exactly what these sites are for. If you are lucky, you may find your life time partner there. Otherwise in most cases, you will lose them the way you find them. Most people who chats people up dont only click on 1 person and fall in love at first sight. If they can chat you up, chances are they are chatting and adding many other people as well. Well unless you are really lucky which is rarely the case but I would not totally rule it out.

Here I would like to share a little something I read on another website to add on to my post.

Three: The Internet (NEW ENTRY)
The arguments are not just how much time is spent on the Internet - for work or pleasure - but about starting deep 'friendships' in cyberspace and viewing pornography. Research among 1,500 adults found that 46 per cent believed emails, texting and chat rooms had led to a big rise in infidelity; 30 per cent had used electronic communication to flirt, or to sustain an affair; 22 per cent of them had done it every day and 62 per cent had done it once a week.
In the past, few men had access to porn beyond top-shelf publications and most were too embarrassed to buy them. Today's Internet porn is more extreme: we are bombarded with adverts for it. What's more, the technically competent woman can trace every site her man has visited.
Solve it: These problems need to be nipped in the bud. Long hours on the computer at home are a signal that something is wrong. Don't ignore your instincts. Ask your partner why they need to spend so much time consuming 'virtual' life. They could be unhappy with your relationship together and the time on the computer is really a cry for help.
So what kinds of Internet friendships are acceptable? Forums with a special interest - like Startrek or dog training - are fairly harmless but be wary of friendships made on general chat sites.
Pornography is a tough one because everybody has different standards. Some couples decide to share it together and incorporate some of the ideas they discover into their regular lovemaking. Some women tolerate their men occasionally indulging, but ban spending money on the accessing pornography.
Whatever your viewpoint, it is important to really listen to what your partner has to say. Unless you both truly understand each other's opinions, you will not be able to find a working compromise.

Siloso Beach Party 2013 New Year Countdown!

First of all, I wanna wish everyone of you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!

Its a new year, a new start! Some just started a new job, some just started their first day at School! Some couples just got together, some just got married, and some people new parents! :)

Whatever it is, I wish everyone the very best in this new year, blessed with good health, more prosperity and over flowing happiness! =)

My 2013 New Year Resolution as follows:

• Focus and Excel in my new career!
• Earn the kinda income I've always wanted (not gonna disclose here for now =p)
• Lose another 3kgs and maintain!
• Be Happier!
• Work Hard, Play Hard!

Aside from all these, just want to share some photos taken at the Siloso Beach Party 2013 which I attended with a couple of my very good friends, and also some new friends I just gotta know! =) the countdown party was ultimate FUN! With my girls going crazy in the foam pool, getting ourselves soaked in foam and drenched from the spraying water~ Cheering with lotsa different booze and dancing the awesome night away! Cant believe I've been missing out on this fun for the past few years! Well, at least 1 thing is for sure, I'll be there again at the new beach party with my girls!! =)

Kelvin Xiong & Adeline YangWen Tying the knot! =)

Knowing them for a couple of years now, its truly a joy to witness and attend this beautiful ceremony of my dear friend's most important day! Hereby congratulating the newly weds!! =) Wishing the both of you a happy blissful marriage ahead!!

Anyway here are some photos taken with my Circle of Trust whom attended this beautiful event with me on the 11/11/12. =) Aside from attending the wedding, it was also a good gathering for us to catch up since we haven't had a gathering for a while now as everyone are pretty busy! Anyway, they tied the knot at Singapore Marriott Hotel. A very beautifully decorated ballroom, though I thought the food was alright only. But the staff were all really polite nice and helpful.=)

 

One by one my friends around me are all tying the knots. Almost every week I check my facebook, I'll see a friend getting proposed to, or their partners saying yes to their proposals, getting engaged, getting married, wedding dinner invitations. Gosh. Seriously makes me feel old. With a blink of an eye, I'm already at the average age for marriage. When I was younger, I told myself I wanna marry early. But guess things don't always go the way we want it. And somethings are just fated. I hope I wont get married too late though.

At age 17, my then 1 and a half years partner says we'll get engaged after he finish serving the nation. But due to some reasons, we broke up. 

At age 19, I thought I met the man of my life, had really wanted to settle down there and then, but guess we were still young then, and for some reasons when we hit our 1 years 8mths, it ended as well. 

At age 21, I was with another guy whom we had seriously have plans to settle down and get married. We even planned to migrate to Australia together, and was already in the midst of the PR application. But I guess I kinda freaked out then, thought too much about it, and eventually gave up the 2 years plus relationship. Many told me it was truly a waste, but I guess somethings are just meant to be. 

Recently, just hit the age of 25, and I almost applied for BTO to get a house and settle down with my last partner. Almost. We were already checking things out, made lots of plans and all. And again, I decided to let it go. A 3 years relationship, I really wanted to settle down already. Probably just unfated. Probably just me. Probably just not meant to be. Probably I just have marriage-phobia? At the very last min, somehow I will back out.

Honestly counting back, how many years have I wasted? Well no doubt they are beautiful memories, and after each relationship, I'll learn something more about myself, and what I want. Every failure is a lesson to be learn. But I'm really tired now. I wonder when I'll meet the right guy. I too, like every other girls, hope to find a man I love, who loves me as much, get married, settle down and start a family. I honestly envy my friends whom are happily married with a family now. But I know there is nothing to envy about. Guess I'll just have to be a little more patient. Better to marry late to a man worthy than to marry early to the wrong man and regret for life.

Hereby wishing all my dear friends whom are newly wed, getting married, already married with a family,  a blissful life ahead! And to those like me still looking for the right man, wish that we'll all find our other half soon! =)

I'm BACK to blog!!

Dear all lovely readers!!

Thanks for the continual support even to date! I haven't been updating since June this year, But my traffic is still pretty much constant throughout this time! Thanks very much! :) I didn't forget about you guys, and I certainly didn't forget about my blog. I just couldn't find the time to sit down to blog and upload my photos!!

I have tons of stuff to update! 

- Taiwan Trip back in April

- My 25th Birthday

- Korea Trip in September

- Some major decisions which I've made in my life

- and as always many nice yummy places I went to, and places I visited

I will try to fill it up soonest!!

Lately due to the major decision which I made (I will update here soon, once everything has happened for sure. For now I will keep you guys in suspense for a little while longer), I'm busy mugging and studying again for exams!! Some of you may be able to guess it, some of my close friends may already know it, and for those who don't  just to let you know, I'm not back into studying again. No time or money to take up my Masters yet! May in future, will see how it goes!

Anyway, hope all of you are doing well, getting on well in life, and living life to its very fullest!! If not, I do hope you would soon! Life is so unpredictable. A secondary friend of mine just passed on recently, was so shock and upset by the news that I was totally lost for words and drenched in tears. How fragile life is. He was a very nice guy who had good prospects and a good future ahead. But I trust that God had better plans for him and brought him to a better place. Rest in peace my dear friend...

Word of advice to all, Ignore those that are unworthy, treasure those who loves you, and live life to its fullest! =)

I'll be back to update again real soon!! Stay tuned!!

Happy New Year 2012!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 EVERYONE!

May the year ahead be better than the years before!

New year this year has been busy busy for me! I had been rushing around like a Bee. Super tiring!

I went to Causeway Point to get myself a new Iphone 4S White 16GB, and sold it within 1 hour at Tampines Central. How sad.

Truly hope this year would be much much better! Hope I can earn more money, and achieve much much more in life this year!

Reflections on 2011 (Back to 2011 New Year)

2011 had indeed been a year that zoom by really quickly. Alot of happenings for me in this 1 year. Changed 3 jobs (Not exactly something to be proud of or happy about). Bought myself my very first car. Got myself a couple of CC which I had wanted(which caused myself to be in many debts right now!) Renovations at my house, and for the 1st time we moved to a rented apartment and stayed with outsiders (which was honestly not a very pleasant experience). Moved back into my newly renovated old house. Met new good friends such as Jen, Liangching, Peggie, Faye, Grace, Belinda, Yiwen, and new colleagues who had been really nice thus far such as Doreen and Jerene. I would say I am truly blessed with nice friends and colleagues around me througout this year. It has been an awesome year indeed!

2011 New Year Resolution

- Save more money

- Lose 7kgs of weight

- Work really hard and aim for my newly set personal targets for 2011

- Pick up Korean language

- Improve my temper, patience and tolerance

- Keep fit & healthy

Sadly I didnt manage to save more money since I spend most of it on my car. My temper, patience and tolerance have improved a little bit, but I guess I still need to work on it. I did Lose 7kgs, but soon gain them back again. :(

2012 New Year Resolution

- Stop Procrastinating!

- Earn more Moolah! and Save more Moolahs!

- Clear my debts!

- Lose 7Ks of Weight AGAIN!

- Improve on my Korean Language

- Be able to play at least 3 songs on my guitar

- Improve my temper, patience and tolerance

- Reach my personal target for 2012

With this newly set 2012 New Year Resolution, I'm ready to embark on this new year! Hope this new year would be as awesome as the years before, or even better! =)

Poker Face !

No I'm not thinking about the song. But rather about what a friend of mine, said to me some time ago. It suddenly crossed my mind today, and thus decided to blog about it.

For those who aint very sure what it really meant (other than knowing the song), below is the defination of the word, Poker Face.

Noun

- Informal, a face without expression, as that of a poker player attempting to conceal the value of his cards
- A face lacking any interpretable expression, as that of an expert poker player.

As mentioned, my friend had actually told me that I have a Poker Face. And this is only noticed recently. She mentioned that previously I didnt have a poker face, and in fact usually 1 look at my face and you will know exactly what I am feeling at that moment. I dont know if its due to age, stress, lethargy or simply the environment. But I actually do kind of agree with her to a certain extent.

Oh well....Poker Face or not, I guess the only venue which wouldnt be able to know would be through my blog, for my facial expression would not be shown nor portrayed. But 1 thing for sure, the emotions I feel are greatly reflected in my words.

I may not be a great speaker on stage, as I would stammer due to stage fright.
I may not be an awesome friend, as I am not really good with words of console.

But...

I do think I would be a better writer than most people I know, for when writing, I would not stammer nor be afraid of people laughing at me.
I will try my best to be there for my friends to lend a listening ear, lend my shoulders to cry on, and offer a warm hug when needed.
I do think that I try my very best to console and give advice to my friends through writing, blogging, SMSing, and even MSNing.

People who know me would know better. Well this is just yet another random post which suddenly crossed my mind. Just sharing, and I hope my readers would get to know me better and enjoy reading! =)

Overdued post!

Gosh, many things have happened over these past weeks, and I simply have no time to sit down comfortably to blog a proper post. On top of that I seriously need a new lappy!!

- Many happenings in office.
 * Faye, Belinda and Yiwen are no longer working with me. Had farewell meals with them which was kinda saddening since they left 1 after another in such a short span of time.
 * I've decided to resign as well.
 * My sweet friends and colleagues organized a Birthday ktv session for me at Partyworld.
 * The stress is killing me. So bad that I have very frequent migraine these days!
 * Had a nice wine and dine with all my colleagues at CMPB (Contemporary Melting Pot & Bar @ Dempsey Road) - Super awesome food and wine served! The ambiance and live band there was quite good as well! Totally recommended! I would foresee myself heading there again sometime soon! This time round not much pictures as I didnt bring my camera. I promise more photos next time! :))

- Went to the Jurong Fishery Port which was quite an eye (and nose) opener for me. The fishy stench is quite bad! The floor is really dirty and wet. BUT, the Fishes and other seafood are all really fresh there. So fresh that some are still alive. The fishes are also really huge!

- Had a steamboat and BBQ session at his cousin's place.

- I found another job which i would probably enjoy more and something I had been wanting to do for sometime.

- I miraculously passed my Korean Language Basic Level 2 test! Considering i didnt attend almost 4 session as I was caught up with work and all.And i didnt even practice nor open the book to read at all!

- I bought myself a new pair of glasses from Ted Baker together with Rain jie! And we both decided to get the same frame!! Reason being we both like our red frame specs! She lost her previous pair and mine was old and partly damaged from one of my scuba diving trip years back! haha! =)

Many many other nitty gritty that i couldnt even remember off hand right now.

Well whatever it is, these few weeks had been really hectic for me. So much so that I hardly had proper time for myself to even have a breather!

Right now I'm really looking forward to starting my new career, and I hope this time round its the right move. Sincerely dread job hopping!!

These few weeks many events coming up as well!

* Faye's birthday celebration tomorrow. (probably going kite flying if it doesnt rain)
* Lil Bro's 21st Birthday (I still cant think of the right gift to get or make for him!)
* Car servicing soon! (Still hesitating on which workshop I should bring it to. Project S? BMS? or Autobacs in JB)

Gosh everything requires money!! i hope more moolahs will be showered on me!! =p

Ciao for now! Hopefully my next update wont be tooo long later! =) Stay tuned! :)

(*photos missing from this post will be added on later when I have the time to upload them into my lappy!)

Happy Blessed Birthday to Yours truly! =)

Happy blessed birthday to me, Happy blessed birthday to me, Happy blessed birthday to myself, Happy blessed birthday to me!!

Hereby officially wanna commemorate myself breathing for 24years on planet earth. Wonderful yet dreadful. I wanna be 17 again!!

On this day, I wanna be thankful to my parents, for without them I wouldnt be on this planet earth, for without them I wouldnt be who I am today, for without them I wouldnt be able to sit in front of my lappy now and writing this post on my blog.

I love my beloved parents!! Thanks for coming together and bringing me into this world! =)

Alot to reflect back upon. Many sweet birthday celebrations and moments. Every year seem different. Celebrating with different friends, parties, clubbing, dinner, lunch, simple heartwarming get together to my family, surprises, etc.

This year its also going to be very different. No elaborated celebrations or parties. Just a simple dinner date arranged by BF later on at night, and a belated birthday dinner with my family when my bro is home some time later as we've all been really busy these days. And a couple of lunch and dinner treat from some close friend. Nothing more. I must say, for me, as each year passes, the number of friends celebrating with me and the presents really decreases...which is kinda saddening..but yet I know thats life, especially for me now since Im really busy with work and simple tooo tired to prepare anything.

Well, nonetheless, looking forward to dinner later on! And I hope work wouldnt be too stress for me later as well. Yea sad to say I would be working on my birthday!! Career comes first for me now, therefore no choice! Honestly I dont mind going to work cause I have my bunch of nice colleagues who would be making my day, but I pray really hard that nothing bad comes up, and pray that my boss wouldnt make my day bad!!

Anyway to those who had wished me "Happy Birthday", to those who had treated me to lunch or dinner, to those who had given me presents, I sincerely thank all of you from the bottom of my heart! Truly appreciate it! =) *hugs*

Thanks, 谢谢, 감사함니다 (kamsa-hamnida), ありがとう (arigato), terima-kasih, gam-sia!!  ♥

Mixed Emotions

Its a day filled with Mixed emotions.

* Happy
* Sad
* Worried
* Pleased
* Excited

Came into office today and was surprised with a Bad news. A colleague and good friend has decided to resign as she felt that this is not for her. Kinda upset as I'll be losing a good friend and lunch khaki and our lil office sunshine. But on the other hand I understand how she felt and am glad for her.

After this news, came another news, which was Good for me but yet worrying for me. I've been officially confirmed as a Permanent staff with my current employer. And it was an advanced confirmation as I've yet to complete the 3 months probation. Happy as it was a compliment for me and at least I know my hardwork has been acknowledged and appreciated. But yet worried as I know there would be higher expectations from me and I didnt want to disappoint my boss. She's been nice and I appreciate the acknowledgement, compliments and rewards. Feeling more stress, burden and responsibilities on my (already) heavy shoulders!!

After work, went to TOUCHE at Orchard Hotel with my sweety Yiwen for our IPL and Facial session which I was kinda excited about as we've been talking about it for some time and am really looking forward to it. I must say the IPL experience was kinda weird, I was shocked on the first treatment. It wasnt exactly painful, but rather it felt like an electrifying ant bite! Haha! =)

After the session was done, I decided to treat her to a nice farewell dinner at California Pizza Kitchen at The Forum. Had previously gone there for dinner a few years ago, but it still taste as good, plus service was good and ambiance was nice as well. =)

Talked for a long time over dinner and I was feeling a little upset that I'll be seeing less of her in future. But glad we had made a pact to meet up every month to catch up and also for our IPL sessions together. =)

Anyway hereby wishing her the very best in her future endeavours! =)
