Never felt so sleepy during work before. Think it was due to the work given sorting out P&C letters on staff's variable bonus. Apparently I had to sort out junior staff and senior staff and then, sort them out again in alphabetical order. That took me a few hours. After 3pm didn't have much to do so that gave me the opportunity to doze off. Can't help it. But luckily Juliana gave me something else..

Anyway, quite surprised Juliana is Catholic as well. I hardly meet any catholics these days. Well, she had been sharing me lots of stories that happened to her. It was really amazing experiences she had with God. Those miracles.. Wow. I must say she is a very faithful person. Being so involved in church and stuffs.. Yeah was invited to attend charismatic praise and worship at St. Vincent De Paul. Hmmm...

So tired.. on the way back, head felt heavy. Plus the bus had some salted fish smell and the exceptional crowded bus didn't make me feel better. But later on went to guardian pharmacy to get my ankle brace and shampoo and it brighten me up a little. The staff is so friendly! Just love this kinda service.

Going to sleep a little earlier.

Yes it's Friday but I just remembered I have to work tomorrow.

Think being in the HR department made me realise so much more. Juliana really changed my view on HR. Used to think HR is boring but it can be interesting in some ways. You meet with people, deal with people and everything about people. And yah, HR is not only about payroll.

These days, been busy doing photostating, updating the staff album and doing other tasks like perhaps printing tags and stapling. I am surprised I am not complaining about doing these minor jobs and I guess it could be due to the environment there. All the HR Executives are willing to teach.. especially Abby and Juliana. They won't command you to do this and that without explaining. Juliana told me that maybe soon I will witness for myself how a interview is being conducted by Abby. Sounds interesting.

Anyway think I will be going to postpone my driving lessons. With work I just feel so tired. Yeahh.. and I really miss my friends. Meet up sometime guyssssssss!

And after my bus ride home today, it made me think, think and think. I am so determined to get a car. Wonder how many years it will take to save up to even get a cheapest car. And of course, saveeeee for other needs and wants in life. :)

Oh man, no time to practise my guitar. I shall do so now..

There's some things that i regret,
some words i wish had gone unsaid,
some starts,
that had some better endings,
been some bad times i've been through,
damage i cannot undo,
some things,
i wish i could do all all over again,
but it don't really matter,
life gets that much harder,
it makes you that much stronger,
oh, some pages turned,
some bridges burned,
but there were,
lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
everyday i wonder how i get through the night,
every change, life has thrown me,
i'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
i'm grateful, for everytime,
some pages turned,
some bridges burned,
but there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that i have made,
some chances i just threw away,
some roads,
i never should've taken,
been some signs i didn't see,
hearts that i hurt needlessly,
some roads,
that i wish i could have one more chance to make,
but it don't make no difference,
the past can't be rewritten,
you get the life you're given,
oh, some pages turned,
some bridges burned,
but there were,
lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
everyday i wonder how i get through the night,
every change, life has thrown me,
i'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
i'm grateful, for everytime,
some pages turned,
some bridges burned,
but there were lessons learned.

And all the things that break you,
all the things that make you strong,
you can't change the past,
cause it's gone,
you just gotta move on,
because it's all,
lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
everyday i wonder how i get through the night,
from every change, life has thrown me,
i'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
i'm grateful, for everytime,
some pages turned,
some bridges burned,
but there were lessons learned,
oh, some pages turned,
some bridges burned,
but there were lessons learned,
lessons learned.

Great lyrics by Diane Warren..

Scanning and more scanning at work yesterday. I am quite sick of it. Scanning one photo at a time for hundreds of staff is ridiculous. I still have half one an album to go. Wonder if I can finish all of it on Monday. SICC should come up with some system to store photos of staff together with their profile. Ok enough about work.

Throat was kinda bad when I woke up this morning. I kinda lost half of my voice. Sick but still went to acjc fun-o-rama XVIII with Xon. Think the best game there was rocketeer! Supposed to pump air to this bottle filled with a little water and take aim to shoot a flag or try to aim at a specified area around the flag. Think that's quite cool. It can shoot really far up and high.




Picture is not very clear. But there's a flag in the middle of the field. The crowd at the foreground is where you shoot from. As seen from the second pic, the guy bending now is actually attaching the bottle back to the stand. Another stand is just beside him. This game requires good judgement. You will need to know how much to pump, the wind direction as well as the right angle. Haha tried this game twice and got really wet the second time cause the water splashed directly on me when I released the bottle.

Tried other games too but not many. Can't blame me for not being enthu cause I am sick. Xon did not set a good example. Tsk tsk. :o

Left at about 12.45 and headed to Kovan for my guitar lesson and I was very late. Rushed down my lunch and was 15 mins late. Phew. Anyway thanks Xon for the so called treat.

After guitar was shopping. Cause needed to get more formal clothes and proper shoes for work. So bought 2 skirts, a pair of shoes and a bag.

Think exerted too much on my leg again. Zzzz.. Ankle seems to be swelling up a little again. Ok.. Complete rest tomorrow.

Yawnnn.. I am so tired these days. I can't last after 12am anymore. Seems like I will go to bed by 11pm.

Just as I thought the job was getting boring. A pile of work came to me yesterday, 1 hour before knocking off. There was data entry for staff profiles, scanning of staff pictures and other miscellaneous stuffs. The shuttle bus down to the bus stop leaves at 5.35pm and I missed it yesterday due to the pile of work. I did not manage to pack up in time. Luckily I spotted Khor Kai, another attachment student and she gave me a lift down.

Today I continued with where I left off. Finished keying in data for staff profiles BUT got hundreds of staff's photos to scan. Oh my, I wonder how long I will take to scan every single one of the photos and save it in the computer. I am still on the first few pages of the album. Well, but I prefer having something to do than nothing at all.

Grrr and I am down with flu. Must be the supervisor that spread the germs to me. We are always in close proximity and it feels that she is always coughing in front of my face. I started having runny nose all day yesterday and throat feeling ticklish. Now, my nose is all stuffed up and throat is a little sore. Hopefully it doesn't develop into cough..

I must say that the air-con there is freezing. I always feel the chill and even wearing a blazer doesn't seem to keep me warm. I am supposed to wear skirts from Monday to Thursday but I wonder how am I going to keep my legs warm given the cold temperature. Abby seems to be the only 1 complaining about the cold, but what about the rest? I think their nerves died. Haha..

I will be going to bed soon. Early? I don't think so.. I am really tired.

The pic I took while on the buggy. Not a nice shot though..

Easy to spot golf maintenence. They are in bright orange. ;)

Managed to find this good spot @ 2nd level. Good view of the golf course.

And here's another one from a different angle.

I was in a haste in the morning. All the timings are still fresh in my mind. Left the house at about 7.35am and only went up the 165 bus at 7.49am. I was quite worried I might stop at the wrong bus stop and I seriously did. Was too kan chiong and got off 1 stop early. So I just cross the overhead bridge and walk further up to the bus stop where I suppose to wait for a comfort bus to bring me in to SICC. While I was approaching the bus stop, the comfort bus came! Tried to run man.. and phew managed to catch it in time. Sigh my swollen foot can never get better like this.

Well, first day of work was quite ok. A general briefing in the morning and tour around the club. I think what I love best was the buggy tour that took the other 4 attachment students and I around the golf course. The view at hole 4 was spectacular! It was niceee.. considering being a nature lover. But wasted, I didn't take a picture. The picture I took wasn't that nice and when I wanted to another pic, my hp batt was low.

The rest of the day was basically nothing much. Just did filing, labelling and printing labels. My supervisor Juliana said that I will be given more work tomorrow. Anyway I guess my colleagues there are all nice and friendly. I thought I might have a hard time communicating because of maybe generation gap? Haha but it was alright. Still a little awkward but I will get use to it. :)

I want another buggy ride!

A great time at boots house yesterday. Ironically, the organiser couldn't turn up. Slap her mannn.. Haha..

Had nice traditional steamboat, heated with charcoal. I won't say I ate a lot. My appetite for the whole week was kinda bad. I don't seem to eat much these days. I wonder how am I going to be ready for another buffet.. (if there is one of course)

Anyway, after dinner was lo heiii.. and the long awaited mahjong! Mel kept winning the first few rounds then she passed the luck to me. I managed to win quite a bit before the luck slowly started to go to boots. Haha.. Chalven got the hang of the game but he's losses just kept accumulating. :x

All of us didn't expect to play long. Started at about 9pm+ wanted to stop at 10.30 but played on. Round after round we kept extending the time.. to 11.30pm, 12 midnight.. 1 am... 2am... Phones were ringing, calls from the parents.. Haha.. And eventually we stopped nearly coming close to 3am. Think that was fantastic.

Chalven, Mel and I then went to the main road to get a cab back. Chalven got the first comfort cab. The funny thing was Mel said she wanted a Merz cab and she really got her wish just after she said it. So lucky. Mel gave me a lift on seeing my poor swollen ankle..

Today I basically slacked. Listening to music till I was sick of it, surfing and playing till I was tired and I continued practising Romance De Amor.

Mum paid $28 dollars for a short lion dance and the cai shen ye to give her a toto ticket.

Next was church and later on went to the atm to deposit some cash but money got stucked inside instead. Damn.. gotta wait for the bank to credit the amount back again.

Ok better rest early, it is the first day of attachment tomorrow. Hope I can find my way there easily.

Pics time...

After steamboat

We made quite a mess

Chalven strategizing :o

Exams are over.. finally. Enough of the boring 5 day routine. Feel like a person without a life because it revolves around eating, sleeping and studying. Don't want to talk about any papers cause what's done is done. =)

Attachment starts on Monday! SICC here I come. Met up with LO Ms Ang and was told that it is a HR job. Not sure what I will be doing though. Heard some admin stuffs, organising something, data entries... and some others that I forgot. My mind was shutting down and I cannot absorb the rest. Woah.. gotta report at 8.30am. Reminds me of TEP. Anyway I will work from 8.30 to 5.30pm on weekdays and alternate sats from 8.30 to 12.30pm.

Later on went to SSDCL to attend the enrolment briefing for Class 3. Enrolled for Class 3F and I am just short of my PDL. Will book practical lessons soon.

Yup, and invitation to watch a movie by Michelle. Should be going to Sun Plaza later. Now time for me to slackkkkkkkk and restttttttttt.

Not sure whether the title can be read but anyway it says "Chu Qi.."

Had guitar lesson and I didn't want to go because I was quite paranoid about my ankle. Thought that maybe someone will bang into me, I might fall or I might even twist the ankle another time. Haha.. but in the end I went because I couldn't miss learning Romance De Amor.

Damn... the song is freaking hard. Especially if your fingers are stiff from the lack of practice. I had problems stretching my fingers for the second part of the song. The song bascially requires the fret 1-12! Haha.. Need lots and lots of practice but I guess I can only start practising after exams.

Taking a little break from revising EFMA. Zzzzz.. took a long time to figure out my mistakes preparing the cashflow statement. Ok can't wait for exams to be over. Anyway I will be attached to The Singapore Island Country Club. Maybe I can meet some rich guys there.. Lol.. Ok talking rubbish.

Dinner was a spread today. It being Chu Qi, had 7 different types of vegetables. Plus, chicken with hoisin sauce, Yusheng, and fried fish. :)

Later.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. I am using my crutches again. Zzz.. the ankle needs R.I.C.E. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Hmm but I think the swell has gone down a little after putting ice pack frequently throughout the day. Hopefully my ankle recovers asap.

And so how's revision getting on? Trying my best to focus. But there are 1001 things you can get distracted to. The amount of distractions at home is so shitty. It's just like an angel and devil by my side. One telling me to stop studying as there's always tomorrow and the other asking me to concentrate and focus on my revision. I am trying to brush the irritating devil away.

Think I will know my ipp attachment posting tomorrow. Cross my fingers that it will be an acceptable company for me. Not some place at Tuas or Jurong. Zzzz..

Oh yes, have to mention that my grandmother showed me a piece of pink paper that tells about what's to be expected for the year of the rabbit this year. Nothing entirely good or bad but I still can remember one sentence that states that I will meet my Prince Charming. Haha wonder how true is that. *Grins*
