*if i'm not wrong that means annoyed/bored in cantonese/hokkien/mandarin?

anyways ...

i seriously need a break from all these emails. and i'm getting seriously concern with not being able to touch any trainings. yupe was given 2 half-day break next week but come on, how am i to be involved in my role if i'm stuck with this. and i kinda sense that some of them forgotten that i'm just assisting, not part of the core team. maybe it's time to remind them a little bit.

it is good, i know; but isn't it better if i am giving a chance to really focus on my main role? i am for sure going to bring this up on my next updating session with the overseas guy.

all this lead to one thing :- i seriously need a getaway, away from singapore for a bit!

Totally Random

just need to get few mins away from the emails ...

had a good mid-year review last week, just when i thought i got a great counsellor he dropped the bomb - he has tendered. i just hope the next counsellor i'd be assigned to is my boss. anyways, i voiced out my concern and was given wonderful advise. i can say he really boost my confidence level with all the confident he had in me. and yes sir, will surely follow all the tips you shared!

on another note - guess what! i spent US$120 over something i would never in a million years think of getting. what's wrong with me, i seriously have no idea. anyway it's a done deal. and together with a friend we're planning of doing the unthinkable. i'm sure in few years time, i will look back at all these, shaking my head wondering what demon had possessed me then.

mom and dad are back in town, this time around for mom's knee. they kinda gave me a 'surprise' visit, being home when i came back from KL. duh! guess they have to bare with some messiness, then haha.

13 days of leave not to mention the forever growing number of time offs to clear by june 2010. where should i go? i have SO many places in mind but not that SO much money, dang!

just got a news that hp is leaving too, woohooo happy for her. now it's only left with you know who and the truth shall reveal soon.. God is good!

and with that i end my entry for today ...

First for the year ..

HAPPY 2010, everyone!

not that it's any difference from any other day but people normally want to start anew, afresh with the new digits. i personally have no resolution, well that is if you don't say "not to have any resolution" is a resolution by itself ;)

anyways, just taking a few mins break from work - invading people's privacy can be darn tiring especially when you have like 37Kish email to read within 2 weeks time *faint*. and i heard more than a million is coming soon, gosh! seems like we're stuck in this freezer until june. i hope against the mother of all hopes that the other engagement starts soon; i am not doing my main role here. and when there's nothing else, i'd be here all the time. my indirect boss is waiting for me to be release from here so that i could start all sorts of reading etc haha, i'll give him a shock when i update him next week. i'm still trying to understand how things work here. yes i've been told that at times we're doing everything but i actually hope to learn the technology aspects more whenever i have spare time, but it seems like i can't run from this project :\ oh well, i'm gonna put all this in my mid year review that's for sure ...

on another note, 2010 huh. how time flies whether or not you're having fun. but nah, life is too short to dwell in the negative aspect of anything. i hope to achieve more this year - be it mentally or spiritually. i seriously want to be a better person in the eyes of God, an obedient daughter, a better friend and of course leading a healthier lifestyle! yeah right, 2nd week of january and i've only hit the gym once! body is still aching from tuesday's pump but seriously need to push myself harder man.

that aside, i hope to cover more places too this year. might be a bit harder with how things work in this new role, but never try never know. and this leads to another thing - money money money!!. let's save more diligently this year, shall we?

ok then, time's up. better get back to work. oh and you know what, it might be a new year but i'm still having the same songs playing on my MP3 - all from the same singer, JGS *die*.
