Farewell, 2009!

又这样过了一年。

2009 可称得上是我人生的转捩点。A year full of changes and unexpected twists and turns.

Everything felt so surreal to me. Really cannot imagine that we were still rushing our FYPs, attending lessons and taking our exams in the exams hall early this year. And of course, not to forget our arduous journey in search of a job admist the economic downturn.

Then there was the grad trip which many of us had that officially marked the end of our student life and the wait for interviews and job offers.

Still vaguely remembered that my friends and I were feeling very lost at the beginning of the year, wondering where on earth will we be and what will we be doing at this time of the year. But as the saying goes, 船到桥头自然直, I'm really glad to see that all of us have found jobs and are doing well now! =))

And speaking of jobs, I am really thankful to have gotten my job now - reasonable pay, nice and fun colleagues, caring and generous superiors and an environment (almost) free from cutting throat politicking. What more can I ask for? 人要懂得知足!:)

If a picture paints a thousand words, here's 2009 in a few thousand words:









Farewell 2009! It was a great year for me and may 2010 be an even better year for my loved ones and I! =)

Clearing the cobwebs once again

It's been a long long time since I last updated.

Pardon for the lack of updates.

Nothing exciting happening in my life right now actually, which explains the lack of movement in my blog.

Have settled comfortably into the life of an OL - replying emails, thinking about where to go for lunch everyday, squeezing onto the MRT and of cos, lamenting about how the weekend it never enough! And before I know it, 3 months has passed since I started working!

But I am not complaining cos everything's going great so far! Love the amount of freedom and flexibility I get and also, the fun people around me! Seriously, it feels more like working on school projects than work to me..=))

Perhaps I should just do a recap of the major events over the past 2 months:

1.) Convocation (July)




It marked a wonderful ending to the end of my Uni life. But is also signifies the start of another chapter of my life.=))

Thank you RSPHI, THM babes, HR lovelies, Year 1 mates and Fifteen's gals for the beautiful memories in NTU. A short, but fulfilling three years in Uni...:)


2.) HC MAF 2009

Perhaps it's due to the fact that we diden go back last year, I felt somewhat very excited about MAF this year.

Met up with some of the 04S61 gals in the afternoon and I had a great time catching up with them! :)

Headed over to HC in the evening and ya, we did the same old things - talk to miss wong, go reading room, squeal, take pictures, watch the light-up at the Central Plaza, sang the hwa chong songs and (watched) the mass dance..

But nevertheless I still enjoyed it (despite doing the same old stuff every year)!

Miss miss miss my days in HC, where we slacked at the class bench, played bridge, nua in the library, pon lectures, secretly laugh at our tutors and of course, I missed being in huang cheng the most..:D

MAF never fails to bring back those wonderful memories for me, especially when singing those 华初 chinese songs..歌词依然感动我。。。




And we are on to October now, which means that X'mas is nearing once again..It's really quite scary to see time passing by so quickly..

But still, I am feeling blessed cos there's nothing much for me to complain about right now! :)

Living and loving life I would say..=)

Work!

The weekend is approaching again! =)

Despite the fact that I am enjoying work, I still miss life as a student terribly! To be frank, the week passes by rather quickly when you are working. Before you know it,it will be Wednesday and Friday will arrive shortly! But this also means that the weekends will fly past quickly too! Sad!

Here's some pics of my workplace and cubicle:



That's the view from the highest floor of the building! Nice eh? Probably can watch F1 from there!
Really diden meant for my desk to be that pink..Haha. Anyway, I got that Pooh mug for less than 5 bucks lah. Definitely a steal! =) And the cute magnets in front of me are from Daiso!

Heh, and i SPLURGED like mad the moment I received my first pay. Bought more clothes and this:



It's one of the most expensive (non-gadgety) thing I have ever bought in my life! But I had been eyeing it for a long long time! So ya, can't help but splurge on it! =)

Next big thing tt's coming up: Convo! =)

Can't wait to go back to school again!

New chapter of my life..

Have just started work on 1st July and embarked on a new chapter of my life.

Surprisingly, work turns out to be great!! My directors and supervisors are super nice and funny (said to be the nicest among all departments) and my colleagues are a bunch of super fun and dynamic young people!

They had been bringing us around, showing us all the nicest places for lunch! And the location of my workplace is great too! Lots of places with good food within walkable distance! =D And the best thing is...there are lots of training opportunities and events lined up for us!

On top of that, the place has just undergone some renovations before I came in. Hehe, so my cubicle, chair, desk and PC are all spanking new!! =D

Work mainly consists of readings now, but it is interesting to read about the policies and stuff. And I am looking forward to some of the upcoming projects too..=)

It's really a blessing in disguise that I did not get through some of my previous interviews. I am contented with what I have, at least for now! =D

Shall post pics of my cubicles soon!

To all my friends who have started work: Focus on the positive aspects of work and never say die k!!

And to those who are still in search of their dream job..dun give up!! It will come when you least expect it..don't worry too much!

-Me- Time

Had been indulging in a lot of -me- time ever since I came back from Taiwan.

Will be starting work on 1st July in the public sector and hence I would wanna spend the 1 month holiday I have left meaningfully!! =)

And I think I had been doing a good job so far!

Sunday was spent at the National Library and Bugis area. Borrowed some books to keep myself occupied on days when I have nothing to do. Walked over to Burlington Square for dinner (alone) as I had a serious craving for some ass-kicking Tom Yam. This stall was highly recommended by Channel U, as well as your truly. =D

*smacks lips*


The sotongs, fish and prawns that were swimming in the Tom Yam soup were uberly fresh and the soup was sangat sedap!! My second time eating there and I still have not gotten enough of it. =)

Alps, Sab and I met up with Bel (who started work in May) for lunch at the Great World City area on Monday. The hawker centre was full of OLs. Goodness, cannot imagine joining their league in a few months' time. Haha, and it seems like all of us have sold our lifes to the gahmen...Went for the Kangxi Exhibition at Asian Civilisation Museum with Alps and Sab after that. It was quite a cool exhibition which presented the different facets of 康熙 and the Manchurians' ruling of the Qing Dynasty.

康熙来了!


Tuesday was another -me- day again. Went down to Tanjong Pagar to sign my contract and took the opportunity to explore the area there after that. Popped by Tanjong Pagar Plaza to grab some muffins from Chocs and Spice and boy, were they yummy! =D
Shopped around Orchard, hoping to find some decent clothes and stock them up for work in July. Speaking of shopping, I miss the shopping in Taiwan, apart from the food and scenery. Here's my loot from Taiwan:



And I am turned off by the price of most stuff ever since I got back. Luckily there's still the GSS and I had been buying something everyday when I go out, be it shoes or clothes cos my wardrobe is totally lacking OL-like clothes which I desperately need.

Went for pre-employment medical check-up today at Raffles Medical. Am as fit as a fiddle and I think I grew by 1cm! My goodness, can't I stop growing? Decided to conquer the heartlands today and set off for AMK hub after my check-up. Felt like watching a movie and thus I caught Angels and Demons at AMK's Cathay. Have forgotten the plot cos I read the book like 3 years ago? But it was still an enjoyable show in my opinion.

And I will be going for picnic tomorrow with my HR friends! =))

It's been a great great hols so far! Hoping for more happy days to come! Whee~

我很喜欢几米的作品。
看似简单,却很复杂。

哈哈,在高雄的成品书局以超划算的价格购买了几米最新的作品 -- 《星空》,还有他的十周年特刊。


《星空》



好喜欢里头的这段文字,仿佛触动了心中的某根心弦。

那时候,未来遥远而没有形状,梦想还不知道该叫什么名字。
我常常一个人,走很长的路,在起风的时候觉得自己像一片落叶。
仰望星空,我想知道:有人正从世界的莫个地方朝我走来吗?


更喜欢这句话:有阴影的地方,必定有光

所以几米让我相信这世界是美好的。=)

New chapter of my life

Sorry for the lack of updates. Was busy with school and grad trip planning for the past 2 months.

And time sure flies....

School has finally ended (for good) and I am back from my grad trip already!! Really dun want all these happy moments to end but that's what makes them so special at the same time yea?

Will be blogging about my 10 days Taiwan trip once I have gotten hold of all the photos!

It was a great trip with wonderful company in a beautiful place..And I am missing Taiwan badly already!

Now that the fun is over, it's time to embark on a new chapter of my life. I am not sure of what the future holds, but I will take things slowly in my stride and make the best out of whatever life offers me. =))
