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!!!

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!!

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!

It has really been a holiday filled 2010!!

Hopefully things are getting safer now, just read about the latest explosion.. Not good. But I’m blessed, things will be smooth sailing!!

Let’s just hope Tiger Air doesn’t delay it’s flight! See you guys when I am back! Till then!

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!!!

Was complaining to a friend that my Crumpler 5 million series didn’t come with a shoulder strap and the strap causes some of my clothes to fray…

And tadah!!!!! Received a very special gift from that very special friend today!!!! He specially ordered the shoulder strap for me from Australia!!!!

No more fraying clothes!! Love!!!

Since we’re on the topic of my new found interest, I bought a new tripod tooo! Fire red! I love it! A good variation compared to the usual black tripods! Love too!!!

A boring place but with great company makes a world of a difference! We had so much fun gossiping, chatting, shopping, eating, slacking, watching the first World Cup match together!

Anyway, here are the pictures! Shall let the pictures do the talking! Love this trip!

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

The next holiday coming up should be Hong Kong, Macau & Zhuhai with a few friends in October! I know I just went there, but this time with company and spending more time there! Should be fun! I can’t wait!

And not to mention that I love the purple!!!

Anyway, during the recent holiday with the girls, and during our chats, Maddy brought up the topic of diving more than often. I guess it did influence me a little. And we spent a lot of time in the hotel watching documentaries on the TV showing underwater creatures.

But I m still unable to convince myself as of now due to the serious diving accident which my friend got into previously. She’s still suffering from the after effects of it. But I must say it did evoke some interest in me. I will give some serious thought about it I guess. Like she said, she picked up diving cos she doesn’t want to die with regrets.

Had a good laugh at it and I swore never to blog this line EVER!!!

Anyway, just came back from Batam! Had a superb trip with the babes! First time going on a trip with the WF-ers and it was so so so so GOOD!! We were chatting about knowing each other for about 10 years and this being the first ‘official’ trip together if we exclude Chiangmai YEP & Canada’s summer exchange. Only 3 of us went this time but it was still a good trip!

Had a good time chatting, gossiping, shopping, massaging, spa-ing, manicuring, etc! It’s been so long since I went on an all girls trip! The last few trips were mostly with some guy friends who always gave me the “roll eye” look when I want to do a manicure or want to go into “One More Shoe Shop”… (Yes Sig, this is directing at you guys)

The trip was so good we are planning for another trip real soon to make up for the “lost” Bangkok shopping trip!!

Pictures of trip will be uploaded soon! For now, I am concentrating on the World Cup – South Korea vs Greece!!!!!

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!!!!!
