Not Easily Contented? Too Ambitious? I Don't Think So...
Hmmm... Have you ever had the feeling like things are not going smoothly as you had wanted? Or you are suddenly quite tired of what you are doing? You question yourself why are you working so hard for? Does anyone even know what had been going on?
I am having this feeling at work recently. It's a very difficult to explain, very contradicting feelings. I am happy but not entirely. I like what i'm doing but there are so many uncooperative factors. I like most of my colleagues but I hate my cubicle neighbour. My boss consents of my work but I feel not as appreciated for what I had done...
Maybe I'm not a easily contented person. Maybe I am too ambitious. Maybe I am expecting too much... but how can I be, compared to 5 - 8 years ago. I had learned to live within my means and capacity. I had mellowed a ton. I just want to have a job that I enjoy. Darn!! I still sound contradicting, don't I?
This phase will pass. It's just part and parcel of life. Sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down. No one will always be on their up. I will be moving up soon. A consolation in my life now is going home at the end of a day and see my darling boy and my day will be better. : )
On a happier note, I am getting my iPhone really soon. It will be the 8GB one but it's better than nothing, right? What's more, it's FREE!! I shan't complain too much.. :P
Oh... am going Club Med, Bintan, for my company team-building from 23 - 25 September. Not bad, yeah... It would be my first time to a Club Med. Just hope that it won't rain and rain and rain like what's happening here now... : (
Will be going Shanghai for training and meeting from 6 - 10 October too... There will be quite a bit of traveling for the rest of the year... Think there will be another company Sales Conference in Bangkok some time in October or November...
Happy or not? I don't know...

What A Weekend - Part 1
I know, I know... This post is a week too late but what to do... I rather spend my time in FB, SL, reading other people's blog and watching Friends than updating my blogs. I admit I am a terrible blogger. I had been and am still is... *sighs*
Actually if it's not because of the exciting that happened last week, I wouldn't need to update. Don't take me wrong, I am not blaming for what had happened. How could I? It was so so so fun.
Once again, I had a very fun-filled weekends and I can confidently said that on behalf of the others that were there... :P
The fun begins.........
15 August 2008, Friday
Culprits: Mum, 四姨, 舅妈, Diana, Janet, Nicole, Doreen, Eve, Darius and of course myself
I like to call this night 'Nine Yakkety-Yak Women and One Little Boy'. A pity Sandy and Jayden couldn't join us as it was really late when we met and being the ghost month, Jayden's Daddy wouldn't have like it.
The initial plan was Diana and myself wanted to 'jio kakis' for mj but it turned out to be one of those days that all the kakis just went into hiding but I must say that lucky that they all went into hiding though. How would I have such good time otherwise? Since no 'kaki' right, Diana suggested watching a movie instead and she being the 叮叮叮老板娘, couldn't meet early cos she will have to settle her work first. Yes... her work starts when most of us knock off and we being the understanding ones, will always accommodate her timing... Hahaha... 叮叮叮老板娘, now can give privilege card liao or not??
Btw, accommodating her time means that our events, meetings or whatever we want to do happen after midnight so for the movie, we met up at about 1am at Plaza Singapura. The moment that we congregate, there will be lots of noises and laughters. It will always be like what the elders want... the little boys are okie... what do you want to eat... how much... don't sum pat la... later you pay... I don't want to go out with you next time... We went over to the GV food counter and started ordering like everything is free.
1 Popcorn Combo, 1 Hotdog Combo, 2 Nacho Combo, 3 Mash Potato Combo, 12 Cheesy Dogs... Sounds like we are feeding a platoon!!! Went into the cinema and there's still some noise from us cos we were yakking about where are our seats. Did we have the right seats? Did the Aunties have their food? Did we have the correct drinks? Is dear Darius comfortable?
Finally we settled down, watch the movie... Okie, I must say the movie is a little disappointing and I personally feel that luckily the movie wasn't the highlight for the night. Once the movie ended, we came out of the cinema and the yakkety-yak starts again... Who wants to go ladies? Change diaper for Darius? Hungry? Want to go eat? Eat where? You following who's car? All these will go on for about 10 mins if we are lucky. Hahaha... Oh, I forgot to tell you at that point what time was it... It was 4am!!!
Finally, it was decided that we will go to the Hong Kong 茶餐厅 at Marina Square. Another round of yakkety-yak begins... 四姑, 你要吃什么? 五姑, 你呢? 随便? 有什么好吃? This goes on for another 10 - 15 mins. Finally we had ordered all our food. Curry Chicken with Bread, Roti-Prata, Minestrone Soup, Butter and Kaya Toast, Pineapple Bun, Cube French Toast, Papaya in Almond Soup x 3, Tung Yuan in Almond Soup, Muah Chee, Mango Ice and a lot of drinks.
Mind you... that was 4am and we had quite a bit of food at the cinema... but heck, so long as everyone is happy!! While eating, we started gossiping about ghost stories at the chalet. Hahaha... the courage that we have. In the middle of the night, all girls, ghost month and we talked about GHOSTS!!! The best part of it all was that 舅妈 was supposed to pray for Hungry Ghost Festival on Saturday but with all the fun and stories, waking up early in the morning to prepare for the prayers was at the back of our mind. Hahaha...
When we decided to go home for the day, it was past 5am. Nic kindly sent my Mum and me back home. When we reached my place, Dad was already at the coffeeshop drinking his morning coffee, waiting to go to work. :P
Well... that's the end of my Part 1. You can see the Part 2 in my darling's blog http://baby-jayden.blogspot.com
