2013, turning 2014
Written at Wednesday, January 1, 2014 | back to top

Dear Diary,

It's the time of the year again, to keep you entertained. To be honest, I've forgotten the password to login. But genius google just got everything linked up, so, it saved the re-setting hassle for me. How wonderful (:

Okay, I seriously have no idea how to start off or what to write as my blogging skills have turned rusty. This explains why I'm not one of the professional blogger. (Am referring to the ex-posts of mine to review what I usually write for a day like that).

I've realised I've not done any review for 2012. And I recalled I was  counting down in the pub last year. It's ok, let's do it for year 2013 then.

Year 2013 was a tedious year for me. I know I've been saying tedious year tedious year all along, but 2013 is totally different. Too many things be it big or small occurred in my 2013, which are countless! Maybe just a quick snap shot of the major life events?

1. I got promoted in Jan 2013, holding a designation of Operations Support Officer. My colleague/supervisor left her duty with the company overnight, and all her work scope falls under me. It was a really disastrous period for me as I've struggled my way through picking up her job scope especially licences application, tidying up her back lots, and at the same time, maintaining my own continuous work load.

2. It's a year of training and upgrading for me. Thanks to my supervisor who left, thus my given opportunity to attend the courses arranged by the Company. (: From Basic Food Hygiene Course to Food Hygiene Audit Course, to Halal Foundation Programme to B.O.S.S programme, just to name a few. Feeling blessed. And sincere thanks to my company too which is willing to spend the money, out of no choice, for me to attend the courses.

3. Went to Kudeta on 18 Jan 2013 with my boss and colleagues. (: Nice food, nice scenery. Ladies night.




4. Being punished by mummy for my bursted credit card. Kneeled down in front of the Gohonzon for 6 hours straight, and totally can't stand up after that. Shiok experience  (x

5. Dearest Bibi boy resigned, and was out of Singapore for almost 4 months! :(

6. Special thanks to my HR colleagues, Joyce, Jayne, Ming Cong, Xian Hui, Latipah, Melissa, Nani, Faith, who have never left me alone when I'm left in despair by my own bosses and colleagues from my own department. It's really great to have you guys around if not I would not know where to find the strength to survive my torturous 1 month. Thanks for listening to me, offering me a position in your department

7. I have resigned (I think I must have broken my boss's heart as he dotes me like nobody business and really treated me like his precious daughter) and started work officially with a new company as Assistant HR Executive wef 16 Sep 2013. Having a totally different job scope is a huge challenge to me, and I am still fighting. Hwaiting Hwaiting! (:

8. A new job scope will be tasked to me (unofficially announced yet!) So just treat it as IDK hehehe

9. Started jogging and exercising after I've joined the new Company. Hopefully can hit my yearly resolution of slimming down soon! (:


The Most Memorable in 2013:
I'm not sure. Everything is memorable to me. Haahhaha, maybe it's the time I've spent with my dearest bibi boy? Maybe it's the accomplishment in work? IDK.

The Regrets in 2013:
To resigned from my ex company. I really love them like my dearest family. What a waste for once anger, all efforts and relationships go down the drain at an instance.


I know there are many many people who I'll like to say thank you and sorry. Thus, I'll like to take this opportunity to do so. Thank you for those who has been there, being part of, and making my 2013 a wonderful experience. Thank you for those who have helped me, who have appreciated me, who have put me down (you helped me to be a stronger self).

Special thanks to:
HR colleagues (as mentioned above) for making me feel so much appreciated
Han Wei Gor Gor - always listening to me
Zac Di Di - accompanied me through my "break-up" period and always da bao for me, and teaching me how to xio hoon kee! Bad things are the best memories hahaha! :)
Noris - taught me to be a neat freak, dress up, and our fighting fish! (:

Boss Sam - always so caring and guides me. You are too nice to me, thank you! Wishing you happy marriage.
Uncle Tony - being nice to me too, as you have never been that nice to other ops supports
Dearest Bibi Boy - for always tolerating with all my nonsense and still loving me despite our frequent quarrels. I know our rs quite strained recently, please trust that we will be stronger and more loving after this crisis <3 p="">
My sincere apologies to all those whom I've hurt, thrown temper blah blah - my family, my dearest bibi boy, Boss Sam, and many many more, I'm sorry.


 Many many things running through my mind now, all pouring out and if you can see me, I'm smiling and tearing at the same time. Silly me, and that's me.


Okay, time for my 2014 resolutions! Every year write, every year no fulfill. Hope this year will fulfill :P





5. I must excel in my work and work performance, and be appreciated by my boss and colleagues
6. Happiness, harmony and peace of all people around me
7. Taking care of my physical and mental health - sleep more, eat more greens (I love garden veggies). Regular exercises. Think and stay positive!!
8. I must have a work-life balance. I want more time with my beloved.










Alrights, let's all work harder together in year 2014, and awaits everyone's victory report.



ALL THE BEST & HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014!!

ManHanD - 空杯子
Written at Sunday, June 16, 2013 | back to top

刚好想听 ManHanD 的空杯子,然后闷闷的就从冰箱里拿出一罐酒来搭配这首歌。
听着听着,突然莫名其妙的哭了。

是酒精发作还是寂寞作祟?

越听越喝,心情越差,眼泪越流越多。我是怎么了?

First blog of 2012
Written at Sunday, April 8, 2012 | back to top

Hello hello!!

YES!! The very first of the year. See, we are already a quarter past the year and this is the first post. #Lazy me.

Well, everyone knows when I start to blog, it's all complains.


WORK
Been so demoralized by the way my supervisor treated me. Staying back late everyday till 10pm is no joke, settling day-by-day issues and managing 17 outlets' needs are not easy.
And what I've received in return is merely scoldings and what? What's the point of sacrificing my own life? For just the non-appreciative response in return?

I know that you are "busier" than me. You are more capable than me. 33 outlets eh?
But have you thought that your 33 outlets are not solely supported by you?

Take Halal application for instance, you threw all the Halal files to me for tidy-up, and you merely clicked a few buttons on the website, and that's so called YOUR effort to do the Halal application. Boss appreciates your "hardwork" because he doesn't know who is the one behind to clear off the shits?

Another example? Ok, issuing of uniforms?
You said you can't handle, thus want me to take charge of some 'trivial' matters in the office? Ok, of good-will, I take on. Of good-will ok? Because it's not part of my job scope?
When your outlets don't get their request from me, you said you have to email me eh? Come on? Email is only by typing a few words, and the work behind packing the uniforms to deliver them to outlets? Do you know the hardship? Have you ever thought of my difficulties? Why I can't process your outlet's requests? Because I don't have stocks on hand to give them!

Ordering may seem easy eh? But what are the quantum to order? Any storage space? What are the popular sizes? Do you even think I have the extra time to tidy all of these on top of my work load?

And you want me to state down my job scope because you think I'm too carefree? Just because I have the time to chit-chat on the phone, doesn't mean I am free, hello my dear? Have you seen my hands moving even I'm engaged on the phone?
Well, just take it as I'm drawing salary for doing nothing then, if that really can make you feel boss really appreciates you.
Job scope? WHAT A JOKE?! Shall I ask you to state yours too in that case? (:

And you have the cheek to ask me why is this and that done that way? Well, because NO ONE TEACHES ME AT ALL! (:



FAMILY
Family is giving me much #stress recently.

Sis is showing me black faces because of work related issues. Scolding and shouting at me in front of everyone everyday, even on my granny's birthday. How great is it? And no one dares to produce even a single breath when they seen how harsh she shouted at me?

So everyone thinks it's MY FAULT, and starts mocking at me? What: wow, you very suay to be scolded by her? WTF??
Even mummy kept quiet and went to nap? And when I face black, no one cares, but when my sis ate a bit lesser than usual, everyone starts asking if she is ok?

Mummy is always siding my sis. Even can ask me to send my sis heart requests on fb because my sis is so into that diamond dash? How biased?

And com'on? What I can't go lunch when she don't, and I can't go home when she don't? Only she has the right to say that she is hungry and want to eat? Or she is tired, let's go home? What about me? I have to bear the hunger, and tiredness? You mean I don't have the right to say I am hungry, and I am tired?

She can sleep, don't report to work just because she doesn't feel like, and I have to go back to work even I am on MC?

And what she don't have to do housework, and can sleep late because she is very tired from work? Me?? I can't sleep late, I have to help up with house chores, I have to wash, I have to prepare meals?

Sis can have her own room, can have her own privacy. I must share room with my mom, I can't use my own room even I have one.

You checked on my phone, and you have to know my password, but sis don't need to let you know her password, and you don't even check her phone.
Sis can do whatever she likes, I can't. Why?

Why is everyone so afraid of her? Why can she be served like a princess, while I'm the maid? Just because she knows how to sweet talk? What about me? What about my feelings? Have anyone really spared a thought?
I am your daughter too right? Why can't you just be nicer to me?

I am easily contented. I don't require full attention from anyone, but can at least don't let me sense that biasness or not? If you can't, then let me be free. Don't control me, yet don't care for me, can?



FRIENDS
Gonna arrange time to meet my cliques next week ^^~ And Regina invited me to her 21st birthday party.
Still getting approval from mum to attend both. :(



LOVE
08.03.2012
The guy finally moved the girl's heart.

Initially just wanted to have someone to talk to, to joke with. But didn't realize that I've actually fallen hard. And it's impossible now to stop loving him.

15.03.2012 - The first ring he gave me, which have D Yap <3 J See craved in it. So sweet of him.
02.04.2012 - The second ring he gave me. The proposal ring. Haha!!
Name of the diamond is: 一心一意. So nicely cut, so beautiful. Stares for days and still so dazzling. Love bibi boy (:

I am so pampered by bibi. Used to buy $10 clothes and shoes, but he is the sort who has the ability to spend for a better quality. Everything on him is branded OMGz, and he only wears his preferred brand. Calvin Klein top & bottom, forget what shoe brand he goes for, and Sheaffer pen is considered a very normal pen for him and he has many at home. He has a 2k+ pen which he carries on his shirt everyday. So OMGz.. Me and him stand together = 乌鸦与龙 hahah!!

Me also become quite #vain after knowing him. Craved for more and more branded, and he said wanna buy a Chanel bag, Gucci shoe and Calvin Klein shirt for me, I rejected all. Crazy eh? :) But he still ordered a watch for me that will arrive next week.
I want Franck Muller Cintree Curvex please..... :P In love with Franck Muller because bibi has a Crazy Hours watch. ^^~

I love him, not because of his money,
but his heart.

He is an intelligent guy. But loyal and thoughtful. Caring, sweet.... =) Needless to say, he is already a rare guy in the world.

Am so afraid that bibi will be snatched away by others from the rate I'm treating him. Seriously his qualities are so good, and many girls out there are interested in him. And I really dk which point of me made him choose me instead of others zzz..


Haix.. Mum will sure jump at me when the bill comes at month end. Because bee was in M'sia, and have sent out 2 global SMS and 2 min global calls. HOW?! She already jumped on me because of 1058 SMSes last bill. Hahhas, but have managed to get bibi to DL whatsapp :P
But bibi wants me to report to him everywhere I go. And am not supposed to ignore his SMSes.


I've finally found someone who has the ability and capability to take full care of me. So why don't you let me go? I am still your filial daughter no matter who I am with right? I am not those sort who wants husband don't want mother?
Sis can be in a r/s and you don't disapprove, and me? Why?
