Dec 09

Ah.. Finally some time to blog about the month before it ends.. To carry on from where I had previously end off..

ICT Manning.. Crap stuff.. Put us on alert for no apparent reason.. In the end no call up.. Waste my time stuffing my stuff into the bag.. Now I have to clean everythings again..

Phuket trip.. Here's where I ended off previously.. In the morning I woke up at left at 8 plus.. Faked by the others and ended up taking cab down to the airport.. I think the budget airlines are really budget.. Security's quite low.. Slept on the plane there.. Only an hour but it's good rest.. So.. Landed and off to the hotel.. No real plans were made as to what we were going to do.. Except snorkelling.. Go-karting.. Watching Simon Cabarat.. Chatting and going to the pubs.. It's quite a lively place actually.. Just that it's loaded with Eurasians.. Not many Asian people except the locals.. After the first day I realised I looked Thai.. Somehow I resemble some famous Thai actor as well as the dark tan I had.. Many things that will be in memory and not stated here due to it's content.. Lolx.. The accomodation as well.. Thankful that I got a hotel at 25% of it's original rate.. Nice hotel but quite far from the beach.. Overall I enjoyed that trip except for a few minor hiccups here and there..

Next was the hell week.. Ok not that bad but I had to do a few OTs just to catch up on things as well as my Manager going to New Zealand.. He's still there by the way.. Haiz.. Relac guy.. When will it be my turn.. The week ended off with a dept X'mas party.. Got the chance to mingle with the other perm staffs.. I haven't had the chance to do so since I joined the company.. Dec's a good time to join a company as everyone is relaxed and just want to go away on holidays so the mood's relaxed.. And my goodness.. The house was nice with a mini-swimming pool as well as nice food.. Now what happened to the da-pao food??

Now here's the panic part.. Prez!! Yes one week before and I haven't got anything yet.. So over the next few days I was on a shopping frenzy.. Prob is that I saw many things but I didn't get it.. I think the most interesting one was on 23 Dec with ****.. For certain reasons not to be told to the public.. Thankfully managed to clear most of the stuff with ****.. Thanks ya!! And apologise for making you wait.. The company lunch took up too much time..

X'mas eve.. Was suppose to have lunch again.. Lucky managed to skip it and do my work.. Got to speak to other colleagues as well and understand the org chart here in SG.. In the afternoon started to wrap prez.. I know I'm kinda last min but still managed to finish all before heading to church for our church gifts.. Artsy Fartsy stuff again.. We going to do the same next year?? Lolx.. Had service and dinner.. I think it was a record crowd that night.. Even the food wasn't enough.. Later that evening went down to Clarke Quay for photo session and drinks.. Stayed till X'mas and went home.. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bus 15 min bus ride home.. Packed and got ready for the next day..

X'mas.. Yes.. That day of the year.. Was slightly late and maybe God's plan that I met Desmond below.. Went up with him for the service.. It's been over 2-3 years that he's finally come for the church service.. Perseverence works.. Once services ended.. The frenzy of gift exchanges begins.. Yes the chaos of finding the people and their gifts.. The mess of keeping the gifts received with the ones you're suppose to give.. The photo sessions.. Looking back at the pictures 2-3 years back.. It only seems like yesterday we were at this frenzy stage.. For once we didn't hang around doing nothing until 1-2pm.. Went down to Bukit Timah for carolling then lunch.. By that time.. Everyone was shagged out!! No choice but to head home to rest.. Well.. X'mas didn't end there.. Dropped by Matt's house.. You know what goes on there.. :)

Next morning went to visit my grandma.. And yes!! She recognised me.. Think it's the specs and hair.. She keeps thinking I'm still in NS.. Collected my grad pictures for viewing and then home.. What else.. How to carry on without the proper rest sia..

Sunday.. What a week.. Think everyone's tired by then.. X'mas never fails to be full of surprises.. And I did have mine.. :).. Though there are some doubts left to be answered.. But God will reveal them in time.. Meanwhile it's been a great X'mas..

Currently resting and clearing up stuff for this week and prep for next year.. 2010.. What lies ahead??

Nov 09

Nov flew by so quickly that I didn't notice it..

Let's see what happened..

Van's 21st B'dea.. Been a while since I've met the KK team.. Not all went but it was great to meet them.. Got to catch up.. Actually not much diff from where we left off.. Lolx..

ENT.. Had the 2nd appointment.. I thought it would have been some test.. Ended up being treated by a crap doctor.. No wonder everyone else opted for "private".. There were so many loose ends that it took me nearly a week to settle everything.. And my medical review is on the 30 Dec.. Likely to be no more IPPT anymore.. Means no money too..

Grad Pictures.. Finally had the time to take my grad pictures.. Troublesome though.. My mom made such a big fuss just to dress up.. And the scheduled time to take the picture was 5pm.. At 4pm my parents wanted to leave house.. So early?? In the end we let at 4.40pm and was on time.. Somehow I had problems with smiling with my teeth.. I dont take pictures with my mouth open if you noticed.. Just the upward curve of the lips.. Unless I'm really laughing then you are able to see my teeth.. It felt stupid too.. Well.. It's once in a life time that I grad..

Jen's Wedding.. Held at SAFRA Yishun.. Interesting place as well.. I felt that it wasn't well hosted by the hosts.. Even the music montage screwed up.. But it's good to meet up with my Uni friends..

Sitex.. Was expecting to see nice stuff.. And I dont mean girls.. There wasn't anything I expected to find.. Did get load of brochures though.. Can compare prices and wait till March to get something new.. Lappy maybe.. Depends on my needs..

Combined service.. The IGS was good.. Seeing more than a thousand people worshipping was great.. Though it wasn't some rock concert as there were senior citizens.. Something new was the way the communion was held.. With all the singing of the words.. As for the 2nd service.. I felt that I didn't need to attend.. Nearly fell asleep too.. Was quite disappointed..

Looks like Nov wasn't that slow.. As for Dec.. Nothing big too.. Trips and a few parties..

Some issues have been pressing on me too.. These things dont seem to go away.. Haiz.. Need more time to think about it.. But first.. To sleep then fly away.. :)
