Ho Ho!!

Work has been so busy at the new place!! Totally fun though, meeting new people, learning new stuff..

My bosses are quite nice.. There are some anal Creative people around but still nice on the whole. I am sure they are considered mild already! So I am still relatively blessed! Overall, the new place is not too bad. Enjoying as much as I did at the previous place, just minus the laughter.. People at the old place were more casual, less stressed and not so ‘atas’.. Work’s tough but quite fun too! rate the place 8/10 so far!

Personal life wise.. the big L word.. Ended the dating phase.. Sadly not to proceed to the official phase.. We ended it cos we were too alike in some ways, and I think I needed someone more different.. to accommodate me and my weird wants.. I guess it didn’t work out in the end la.. Hope I didn’t lose a friend, but I think we won’t be seeing each other for some time.

The rest of my life is pretty much the same!

oh oh oh! Going to be a friend’s ‘Brother’ for his wedding this weekend! Totally excited! As many guy friends as I have, this is the first time!! By right was supposed to be 2nd time lah.. But Liang zai’s wedding was so disorganised, and I was so tired from sending him home after his Bachelor night that I ended up waking up late..

Will try to post some photos of me on the ‘guy’ side for the first time!!! Should be fun!!!

*Whine* – waiting at home, for email from client to go ahead for 1 project… 3 people on standby waiting for her go-ahead!!!

2nd week at work! Starting to get some work here and there.

But basically all the “loose” stuff. Tie up loose ends, read through stuff to check typos, etc. Nothing really very fun yet, but so far work is not too bad. At least things are more systematic with SOPs, etc.

No more of “trying to find my way in the dark” nonsense. Everything has a procedure. Which is good.

Other than work, there are some updates with regards to the big L life.

I am dating someone.

I know I have been saying that I am very happy being single and totally contented. I still am / was. I totally didn’t see myself dating anyone cos I was totally at ease with being alone. Had my own personal space & time, could do anything I wanted without having to answer to anyone. It was a good time.

But I’ve decided to try date this particular person after some persuasion and discussions with some close friends, etc. So far things have been good, better than I’ve expected and so far quite pleased with the decision I’ve made.

There have been moments when I still wished I was single and carefree, but those moments are getting lesser as days go by. Which is a good thing I guess. Many friends were commenting that it isn’t healthy to be so happy being alone and getting used to it isn’t a good thing.

Anyhow, I haven’t announced this to the FB world yet cos I am not ready to officiate the ‘relationship’.. So you people are among the first few to be let in on this ‘secret’. I am intending to take my time to see how this dating experiment goes before announcing to the rest of the world.

Wish me luck!!

First week at work!!

It’s like having your honeymoon..

My new boss was on urgent leave for 2 days and she only works 3 days a week. So I didn’t see her till today. And she’s too busy clearing emails from the last few days.. So.. She will only be free to brief me next week.

Had a few briefings from other colleagues and bosses, etc. But no concrete work so far yet. Waiting for some work to fall on my lap..

Boss says “Enjoy your honeymoon for now while u can..” So here I am… blogging away. Slacking away. Let’s hope this doesn’t last cos I am becoming so BORED and an expert of childbirth and milk formulas… Long story about this, will explain in detail to friends when we meet!

Just finished clearing all work related stuff, emails, etc.. Even drafted my farewell letter!!

Now all ready to sit back & relax for the next 2 days before I go!! Although a bit sad to leave the place cos I’ve made plenty of friends here.. But the time has come for us to part. I am sure I will continue to keep in contact with some of them!

And then it’s time to get ready for my upcoming Bangkok trip!! So fun!! this will be the 2nd last trip for this year before I take a break from traveling and focus on working hard! This has been a fun-filled year with all my holidays!!! Love love!

And it will be time to start work at my new place once I get back! It has been something that I wanted to do since I graduated from school xx years back. And I finally have a chance to do it! I hope it will be a good learning ground to brush up on my marketing and strategy skills! I am sick of being stagnant and not learning new & useful things!!! It is time to focus and work hard on my career!!

There are some other updates in my life but I am not ready to announce some of them yet. Will update when I am more mentally prepared! Ho ho ho!!!

I just realised.. every time I “announce” that I am going to try design a new blog skin, I end up totally neglecting my blog. It’s like a curse…

And it’s been almost a month since I announced a new blog skin.. and still no work done.. lazy as usual..

Well, anyway, there hasn’t been much updates in my life, still pretty much the same old me. Same job, same life, same friends. Nothing new and no one new. The most “asked” question when friends see me. Yup. Still single.

And nope, no one potential. I think. There are some people who are still around in my life, still waiting I guess. But I am really really really contented being on my own for now. It’s been about 4 years since The Thing disappeared from my life.. And I was single for 2 years+ before beginning another relationship which also ended bout 1 year later. Almost 10 months single since then and I really think I am happier being on my own. Don’t ask me why, I am lazy to explain all over. I am just happy & contented. No need for explanations.

As for work, I stopped looking for jobs for a month or so. Had decided to just stay on here to complete some projects before I move on. Initially had made up my mind to stay on, but recently, one of the companies I applied for called me for another round of meet-up. The one which I was most interested in. So now waiting for news. If they want me, and can offer me what they said, then ya. I should be out of here in a couple of months. Definitely more potential to learn & grow at the other place I guess.

Wish me luck! Even though the thought of finally working in the town area, having to wake up earlier to dress up, put on make-up daily and travel to town is irking me. I guess I just have to get used to the idea. Need to move out of the East comfort zone!!!!!

Have been neglecting my blog as most of you have noticed by now! Been getting super lazy because Facebook is so convenient!!

I get to update all my friends, get to post my pictures without editing them much (No one really bothers bout pictures looking good or not in FB)..

I get to read my friends’ comments, get to read about my friends all in 1 site! So convenient.

Alright, these are excuses.. I am just getting lazy overall. Also been really busy for my job search..

Anyway some updates on job search.. Things haven’t been really good. Went for a few interviews but found out that I wasn’t selective enough for the searches and ended up going for jobs which I wouldn’t accept even if I was chosen. Result was that I wasn’t too convinced when the interviewers ask me “So what do you think? You can handle the job?” I felt like telling them the truth. That I am definitely suitable for the job but I wouldn’t be passionate about it. At All.

I couldn’t even bring myself to lie to some of them and I gave them a dumbfounded look when they asked me that question. Most of them told me to go back and think about what I wanted and email them if I was still interested in the job. It’s quite bad.

So I decided to take things a little slower this time round. Send resumes only to companies which I really want to work for..

At least things are improving at work now. The strong urge to leave is almost gone..

Lastly, to friends who have been concerned about me, I am alright now! Emo-ness is almost gone! Thanks everyone for the concern! *Love*
