laSt dAy of jUly!!

for a start, i have no particular things to blog about. just wanted to blog and create an entry since it's the last day of the month! OHH!!! now i have something to blog. hee. i can't wait for august to come! haha. firstly is to hope that the busy-ness will stop a little in august and for another reason. now now, for that other reason, i shall reveal it the next time! i'm quite excited bout that.

anyway, i went to make glasses yesterday in nus. heh. quite cheap leh! n the uncle was very nice. 10% after 10% and he rounded down the cost after two 10%s discount leh! the final price of my glasses was 160bucks! anyway, i can claim for that specs. heh. he even offered to give me a sample of a pair of astig contact lens. i didn't even hint or say i wanted a trial pair. good good! i'm happy to meet such a good person. uncle is so good! wf was quite interested to make a pair too! haha. hm, in actual fact, he was the one who wanted to make a new pair of glasses, frameless one. but i made 1st! haha. i went w the intention of looking ard, and to buy contact lenses, but somehow, don't know how, i got glasses. haha!

another thing, we (wf n i) each got a pair of levi's jeans on sat. haha! his very 1st levi's jeans, after 23 yrs!?! oh well. congrats to him! lol. he eyed it for more than half a yr b4 he finally decided to geddit and after much coerce from me and telling him that i had vouchers. sigh. i really wonder how he could stand not buying it for so long! good grief! hahaha! as for myself, i got the small swarovski crystal one.. i liked the 1st batch of swarovski crystal one, just the crystal, but i didn't like the bootcut and it's very dark blue. so i couldn't bring myself to get something i didn't like totally. so i think i'm still good to that extent. but this pair that i got, it's faded. n slim cut, and 2 little crystal, tho not very obvious. i think it's nice.

ok, that's about it. it's going to be a long day again tmr. jia you!

i'm feeling IT again..

stress is what i'm feeling again.. darn darn darn. report typing time. NOT FUN AT ALL! i spent the whole of today, typing some 1 1/2 pgs. oh my godd! i spend most of the time thinking how to start and how to organise. i think report typing is NO FUN!

wed is the deadline and i think elaine will faint when she reads my report. oh gosh! =( i think i gotta make alot of amendments. sigh. i can't help feeling all stressed up again. i can't complete so many things. the thought of it makes me crazy. '

on a brighter note, this phase of life shall serve as a learning experience.

i have no intention of blogging today. i'm supposed to read the history part of my report and get things organised.

byee!

friday the thirteenth

wf n me brought waggy out last nite for a stroll, he (waggy) was so happy and so i was also happy. =) we brought him there knowing that i can wake up slightly later today, cos everyone's not here today.

my boss is on leave, py too, wh off, and angela's coming later. i was supposed to wake up later but in the end i woke up at around 6, slept a bit here and there and finally it was 7am. =( dilly-dallied a bit and here i am, at my work station. all alone on a friday. but i've got stuff to do. meeting weitian and joanna later on in the evening. yaay! yummy food! i've already checked out the no. for reservation, but i can only call after 1130. hmm! i'd better remember. lol.

anyway, back track a little, wf n i brought guoxiu out last saturday, he was apparently more mischevious than the previous time. haha. like a monkey, he couldn't sit still in the car. and when we're in the shopping mall, he kept bugging wf to carry him. initially, wf said no. but you know kids, he kept pestering saying,"gor gor, carry me." (many many times) and so wf had no choice but to give in. haha! lousy.

alrite, i have to do some reading for now.


P.S. BY THE WAY, I GOT MY LV BAG ON WED, 11 JUL 2007. HEHEHE! I'M SUCH A HAPPY GIRL NOW. =)

happy graduation my dear friends!

this post is specially dedicated to my dearest friend, weitian!! i attended this smart girl's commencement yesterday. to think i was so afraid i couldn't make it in the afternoon when i suddenly realised i've got so much to do. anyway, i'm very glad that i was able to attend this girl's commencement. (i don't know why but as i was typing these few lines, i had the urge to type the word 'wedding' instead.) hehe. anyway, it was also qiuling's graduation so there were 2 pple i know.

when i saw weitian in her graduation robe, i somehow felt so proud of her. i know this girl has been working her butts off during these 4 yrs in nus, and she's on her way to taking masters. see? my dear friend here is so smart eh? =) anyway, guess she's the only one who truly knows the actual hard work and sweat she's been through. i know this might sound a little dramatic, but since my experience in the uk wasn't really a smooth-sailing one, tho in the end it was really a blessing in disguise, hehe, i'm sure everyone has their story to tell. in short, congratulations and all the best for ur masters! i'm very sure u can do it, and even excel! i'm so proud of u my dear. =)

oh! did i also mention that i was the pillion rider yesterday? it was the 1st time i ever rode on a bike. the feeling was quite shiok. the 1st ride from mh to nus made me quite nervous cos i had no support besides my hand on richard's shoulders and there were so many humps! but the ride frm nus to src was good, thrilling! travelling at 80km/h on a bike feels like 120km/h in a car. but it was definitely a good experience. lol. makes me wana learn to bike!! lol.

after the commencement, i went for a dinner to celebrate hean's bday. didn't get to eat yet-con! quite disappointed and so we ended up in miss clarity cafe. somewhere near. sigh. too many things to do and there's just too little time. went home at 12 again, and i'm really really tired. *yawns*

special privilege off day!

yipee! i'm on a special privileged off day today. my alarm went off at 6:47am this morning n when i climbed out of my bed to turn off the alarm, i saw a msg. i opened it and it read: "clarice, wh, angela myself are working our butts off tonight so we are not coming in tomolo. Py is on mc too. so please stay home and rest for a change instead and we will all reconvene on wed instead as a group." it was from my boss at 1:26am today. woah! i was surprised to read that. something totally unexpected. shiok leh! i'm sure there are times when u don't feel like going to school/work and u have to drag urselves rite? haha. i wasn't feeling like that. it was just another day that i have to go to work, but when i read this msg! i was surprised! i'm a happy girl today! rather, finally, a day i can slack and relax. goody goody!

i went back to sleep after that, but i couldn't! cos i was too happy. lol. anyway, after some time, i dozed off. woke up, ate a bao then cooked mee sua (which was quite delicious) and watched tv, till now. i'm really savouring this free day of mine. never before. =)

ok, b4 i waste more time, i shall resume back to my sofa n watch tv. =)

today is such a surprise!

a-not-so-good-mood day

sometimes it feels a little horrible when pple make fun at u. =( n these are pple u meet everyday. oh well, i'll learn to take it in my stride, which i think i already am. and all it takes is just one person to create the spark. sigh. i believe i'm not one who degrade or say something demeaning to another, well, at least to my friends. it's really the 1st time i'm encountering such things. n i think it's quite mean. sigh. i feel like i've become an object of ridicule and i'm feeling quite defenceless. what's happening to me?

but amidst all these derision, i feel so good when i know someone is always on my side. makes me feel so much better. =) at least i know that someone cares.

i remember this phrase very well, "do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you."weren't we taught this in school? what goes around comes around, you wouldn't know when it'll be your turn. perhaps all these are just part and parcel of my life, one of those that i've to learn to overcome. i think it's much better to learn to take in criticisms than mockerys. what can i do to stop all these in a more subtle way? by not causing any awkwardness or any hard feelings?

i know that they might be harmless. but did they spare a thought for others? i won't let it go on like this. i can tolerate, but don't try to push me beyond my limits. i think that if i really flare up, it's not going to be a nice one, and i think i'm not being too sensitive. everyone has their own limits and i know that my limits are high. so don't push it. i'll bite n it'll be more painful than u expect.

crazy week

last week, frm 25th to 30th jun has been a really crazy week for me. i've nv worked so hard and long. as mentioned in the last post, i spent really long hrs at work. fri was the only day i went off around 630pm, but it was to get all the foodstuff for saturday's bbq in my workplace. =) so walked around carrefour to get all the stuff, and very soon it was time for me to go home to catch some sleep, ready to start the battle the very next day. i was to report for work at 9am, reaching ard 20mins late, i read a bit of my papers and very soon, it was time to marinate all the foodstuff to be bbq-ed at night. my boss and male colleagues had a hard time setting up the fire in the afternoon, thank goodness my boss suggested making her ramly burger for lunch and the rest for dinner, if not we wouldn't have known that my colleague bought an inferior graded charcoal. in the end, we had to resort to the microwave for our lunch! yummy! the ramly burger tasted fantastic! (might be due to us being hungry) oh ya, the egg was cooked using the microwave, cool huh? but it tasted alright, well, i should say good too! heh.

after lunch, my boss n colleague made a really fast trip to the nearest 7-eleven to get another pack of charcoal. this time, it was much much better! n we had a discussion, a rather informal but yet talking bout proper business. heh. all the way till it was ready for dinner. dinner was fun cos the charcoal was burning well and the food that we prepared and marinated earlier on was really yummy! *applause* clearing was ok, but after that, i was exhausted. i hate that sticky, hot and smelly (cos of the bbq) feeling. yucks! cudn't wait to shower.

i slept around 430, exercised abit b4 that. lol. i am crazy. but i remembered how happy and clean i felt after i had my shower. =D woke up at ard 12 or 1. but man! it was sunday already! too soon! i only had 1/2 a day to rest n shop. whatever. but i felt so lethargic today. couldn't walk much. went to orchard to get hean's present and had din tai fung w xian cong, richard, mq, wf (mydarling) n me! i still wana eat more of the xiao long baos. it's just too delicious! that feeling of nibbling a bit of the skin, then sucking all the essence out and finally finish it w ginger n vinegar! heavenly! i'm going to eat more. don't care. lol.

my boss told us on sat that we can resume to our normal working hrs this week. *winks* i shall see. =) but for now, i'm left with some derivations, tidy up and finally, documenting. so it will still take some time b4 i can take a breather. sigh.
