Halloween

This year's Company Halloween Celebration was so fun! The deco was cool. Most importantly, alot of us made effort to dress up. The best surprise of the day was when Chia Shan came over to my workstation and presented me the prize for Most Well Dress Goul. I was so busy with the calls that I have not even read the email they sent out announcing the winner. So happy! :p

After seeing the photos, all my friends commented that I was lucky to work in this company. Yes, we really work hard and play hard :) Look forward to next year's Halloween... hmm.. who shall I be? kekeke...

Oh.. I have a new name now. Not just Elki... but L :p

Back from gym....

Today was my first time at gym after office hours. It is really pack, especially when Novena Square's Cali is quite small. Managed to do 30mins crossramp. And I met Jack in the gym too. After so long since we work together, this is the first time we really chatted.

I am really really hungry after gym. Went to Cold Storage and was really tempted by all the food, ice cream, chocolate, yogurt, fruits... but I did not buy anything. Thinking that I will just go home for dinner. Unfortunately, mom did not leave much food for me. And now... I am still very hungry.... :(

What happened???

This has never ever happened to me in my entire life until yesterday....

While I was on my way home, one fruit fly flew into my right eye. Yes, directly into my eye. Today while I was on my way home, almost at the same time like yesterday, another fruit fly flew into my left eye!!! Two days in a row!!!

Is this a sign that something is going to happen? :p

Busy, Fun, Tiring Day

Call volume has increased alot recently! Yes it is good news. Means more business...??

I started my day rather moody. Monday blue?? maybe... I tend to think about the past again. On my way to work, I kept reminding myself I have to get it over, if not I will really go crazy. How??? Guess the first thing is to remove our photo from my bedside, delete all our photos from my pc and his messages from my hp. But I can't do it... :( Worse thing is, no matter how unhappy, during work I have to force myself to put on a smiling voice when I start taking calls. I can't breathe...

Half day through, I received Becky's email. Just a short note: Just want to cheer you up. With a BIG Smiley face. She noticed that something was wrong with me today. She is so sweet and sensitive. Guess that after being neighbours at work for a year, she really knows me well. Just one look at me she can sense something wrong. Thank you Becky. I appreciate it.

I finally signed up membership at California. Took up the couple package with Kin for 3 years, Platinum. Average out monthly is really worth it. Furthermore it is just located at my office building. Very convenient. Only heartpain that I used up all my coming bonus for this membership and I can't use it for my US trip. Have to postpone...

I got another surprise! Kin bought me a blender bottle that I can use it for gym. So nice!!! And it is purple color!!! My second favourite after Baby Blue. Yeah!!! Thank you Buddi. Appreciate your thoughtfulness and I really want to thank you for all the sandwiches you made for me. What else can I say? Thank you again!

Comes to think of it, there are so many people around me that treats me really well. Unable to name everybody but I am sure your name will be mentioned on my blog sooner or later. As long as you are my friend and family, I just want to tell you that I appreciate you, even if I dun express it all the time.

This afternoon I kept pulling people out from their cubicle to take photo for the coming halloween contest. And Kin was busy editing the photos and the effect was really good!!! I can't wait to upload them onto my blog but has to wait after Halloween as we have to keep them confidential for the time being. So fun!

I stayed back in office until almost 8pm to clear up my work. Then went straight for my Taekwondo training. Kinda reluctant at first because I was really tired but no regrets going. Tonight we learnt some new self defence and all with throwings. Then for the first time, sparring with 6 people! haha... And ended with jumping side kick over waist level but I almost twisted my ankle as I did not land correctly during one of the jumps. My usual partner, Elson and I were having so much fun till Aaron, our instructor starts calling us Jokers. haha... So Funny!!!

Ended my day tired and aching. I even got bristers under my feet. I took a cab back home instead and sms Kin that I will not be able to join him for gym tomorrow morning. Din expect that he did not put his phone to silence and I can sense his irritated reply as I must have woken him up from his sleep. I sure get tekan tomorrow at work. hehehehe...

By the way, I finally received the parcel from Christine Lai's mom. I waited for soooo long for the 溏心风暴之家好月圆's dvd. Yeah!

Ok I am really hungry now, never eat lunch and dinner, going to eat something now :)

Halloween vs. Cam Whore

Halloween is coming... as usual, there are always lots of exciting activities coming up in office. This year, each of us has to submit an evil picture of ourselve which must be Scary, Naughty or Sexy. Hmm... I always love the horror scary look, so you should be able to guess what I am going to do.

Once I reached home, I started looking for whatever items I can to apply onto my face, including mom's make-up kit and started taking a series of "scary" pics of myself.


Scary??? :p
After a series of trial and error horrorifying photo taking session, I definitely could not miss out the opportunity to take more photos of myself to update onto my facebook.
You should know what happened next...


hahaha... no wonder Dai Chun Chun named us as CAM WHORE!!!

My Big Sisters

My two big sisters are back from their leave! (Even though one of them is younger than me... hehehe) So happy!!! Did not realise they are back to work today. Always felt like something is missing when they were away. hehehe...

oh and to my surprise, they did not know about my Care Bear tattoo after so long!!! :p

I treasure my days in the company with good seniors like them and their tender loving care (not forgetting the great tekan sessions), I enjoyed everyday of my work :)

Dream from Thailand

Tonight met up with Andrew Gor and a new friend from Thailand, his name is Dream. A very cheeky and cheerful guy. Even we just get to know each other, we seemed to get along really well. We had a good dinner at the Kopitiam nearby before sending him off the taxi as he is going back to Thailand tonight.
Hope to see you again! :)

Christmas in Wonderland... it is a dream afterall

It is 1.45am. I should already been sleeping, why I am not? What have I been thinking... I guess I know the reason but always in denial. Trying to tell myself that I am strong and I have gotten over him.

Have I?

I can't breathe. Trying very hard not to keep in touch with him. Trying very hard to know more people now. Trying very hard to take up more activities to occupy my time. Even the current tune I am learning for my piano reminds me of him. One of the first songs he sang to me. Everywhere I go, I see our footsteps.

What do I want now?

It will be December soon. He knows Christmas is my favourite festive season. He knows I like cold weather. The promises to spend a white Christmas with me. To bring me see Plum Blossom in Spring... all will never come true again. We can never celebrate our Birthdays together in January again.

Why am I dreaming? I should be sleeping now....

Movie with Libbie



Met up with Libbie at Ang Mo Kio hub this afternoon for movie. She suggested to watch Eagle Eye. So I agreed without even asking what the movie is about. Turned out it was really good! A MUST watch!

Libbie complaint that I did not load our photos on my blog. So I brought along my camera to take some pictures before the movie. hee.. Here you go gal! :)



By the way, I sold my Wii to Libbie at half the price I paid for it. Since I don't really have the chance to play with it, there's no point owning it. At least I can save the money for better use next time. *Happy*

We are colleagues, not friends...

People used to tell me that we can never find true friends at work. I am glad that I can prove them wrong.


I found many true friends at my work place. Maybe I am considered lucky. Rain or shine, I am sure they will be there for me. They make me laugh everyday and were there for me when I was down.

Miss those days...

I was going through my photo albums and found these pics.
It was only three years ago. Those were the happy days when I want to pursue my dream in acting. I know I am not cut to be one, I mean in terms of looks. Especially in this industry, where looks is important. No matter how passionate I am in acting, or whether I can act or not, I guess this is not an important factor in this industry anymore. The truth is... I have tried and I have moved on...



Care Bears

See, these are my care bears in front of my computer at work. Everytime I look at them, they make me smile :)


People might feel that I am childish but I don't care la. I used to be very concious about the image I portray to others. The truth is... life is too short to be unhappy. Just be yourself. As long as we don't cause any harm to others, don't be selfish, everybody has the right to do what we love in life. Something that brings us happiness.

By the way, I just need one more to complete my collection, a Grumpy Bear. Hope I can find it soon.

Simply Irresistible....

I was at Chinatown tonight and there was only one thing on my mind. I kept telling myself not to do it but... the last time I did was more than a year ago. Why not...



I couldn't control my urge anymore and before I came to a clear mind, he was standing right infront of me.



There's no turn back. Without any hesitant, I told him....



"This... 300 grams"














This truth is... I know this is fattening... but life is too short! Can't I just pamper myself once a while? hehehehe...

New Beginning 0810 2008

It is time let go of the past, forgive but not forgotten. There are still alot of happy memories though.

Will move on to a better brighter happier NOW :)
