Weekends have been busy for me. But wad FUN!!

Saturday, Our Chalet Clique went for a cycling trip or rather an expedition that I’ll never forget because I’ve got sun burnt really badly.

My whole arms and shoulders were totally different color from my other parts of my body.

Both of my arms kept burning as if I was having a fever… I think my skin color can be compared to a cooked lobster… HAHA… the reason is… we cycle in the afternoon sun.

We cycled from east coast park to changi beach. From changi beach, we cycled to changi village to have our lunch.

Pei Yu had to leave earlier so we decided to take the shorter route back to east coast. We Cycled to Loyang, Tampines, Simei, Passing by Expo, Bedok connector and Back to East Coast Park Connector.

It was almost the east of Singapore.. HAHA… Now I would always remember to bring a sun block for cycling trip… to prevent myself from getting sunburnt again.

When we finish cycling and returned our bikes, it was already close to 6pm. We started from 1130pm to 6pm.. that’s really really long..

Sunday went to church for super Sunday. The preacher is teaching at NUS and a law lecturer. If I were to have her as my lecturer, I think I have to pay full attention to her because she speaks like a machine gun. LOLOL.. But overall, her sermon was quite good.

Night time, went to celebrate my grandpa’s 85th birthday. Still strong and healthy… (: Many cousins have either went to Australia or Canada. That’s sad… ):

Time to rush out my report to my OIC soon…

Yesterday went to catch a movie. MALL COP. Really funny. A great movie to catch. I was laughing almost the whole show. The show has a plot even though its comical.

Before the movie, ate tom yam with extra noodle to share with dear. Hahas.. I ate Tom Yam because I miss Tom Yam back at NYP.. hahas.

After eating, i went to toilet. If i'm not wrong, i saw Jean( my sec sch classmate) in the toilet. I did not dare to call her cuz i scared its the wrong person. She now have strips of coloured hair dyed almost golden?? hmmm... and it seems she just went for a gym or something. she became very dark. hahas.. only after she started talking to her friends, i realised it was really her. But she was already getting out of the toilet, so i did not call her. Quite a coincidence.

Ate Pasta Mania after the movie because was not very full even with sharing the tom yam... hahas.. ate beefballs. But I think it does not taste as nice as Alfungi or Vongole. Hahas. I think the next dish I would try is Vongole but with homemade broth instead of the tomato herb sauce.

Today going home to wash hamster cage.. hahas. A nice clean home for my hamsters.

That time I brought home the hamster, mum was telling me my cousin rare hamsters and had babies. The sales person told her that its two males but in the end, each was different sex. So after that incident, she never rare hamsters..

I think both of my hamsters are male. If not, now they would be mating in the cage already. LOLOLOL…

Somewhat slacking at work.. getting lazy somehow.. hahas… Ciao…

Have any one taken the spiciest chilli rated 10+ in yr entire life? I guess the hottest chilli you have taken would be the small chilli padi that your maid or yr mum have cut eh??

I guess if u wanna try the “Sudden Death” chilli, I’ll assure you that you’ll be rushing to find the nearest water cooler or even the public toilet tap water.

A few days back. Dear and me were purchasing water from Carrefour from suntec, when we came out, we saw a large crowd standing near to a push cart and wondering what they were selling.

They were actually selling chilli ratings from 3+ to 10+. I dipped the 3+ and felt nothing. Next, I challenged myself to dip the 10+. Thinking that it might not be so hot, I dip more using a chip provided for us. First when it when down my throat, it felt okay. It felt like taking sambal chilli. Subsequently, the sudden “hotness” overwhelmed my mouth. Lucky, I bought a 1.5L of water from Carrefour earlier, if not I would be crying for water..

The most funny thing is when dear saw me put the chip into my mouth, I did not have any expression, so it was his turn to put dip it and put into his mouth. First, he put into his mouth and no expression. Suddenly, he started to fan his mouth. Less than 1 minute later, he burst into tears..LOLOLOL… even the girl tending the stall had to pass him a tissue. LOLOLOL.. funny incident indeed..

Long time never see a guy cry in front of me.. HAHAHAHAA….

Have you seen my nick??

I have went for a first time ever experience of photoshoot without having to pay a single cent?? You must be thinking if I am paid to do so??

Nah.. I am not a model.

Apple was promoting their iphoto which looks something like our photoshop. We has 3 free shots. You could choose whether to put make up or take a candid shot.

It was a fun experience because first time, I have a photo of myself taken by a professional photographer. I was also given a free make over by a professional that is worth 70 dollars.. hahas.. worth it huh??

All the shots taken are burned into a CD. Took 2 individual and one group with dear.. hee hee.. FIRST TIME EVER have I done such a thing.. hahas.

Back to do a report for accounts payable needed to submit end of the month

Saturday (14 march 2009)

i believe i have not blogged about what happen last saturday.. HAHA

I finally met hui ying after sooooooo long. really hard to meet her but its FINALLY.. hahas (: we went to unisim open house. I bet u must be wondering why i go to unisim open house yea??

Maybe by now.. i already know what course i wanna take and alternative route i wanna head in my next phase of life which is university. hee hee..

Hui Ying and I went and tour around the whole school and took some pictures together. Have yet to get the photos from her. hahas.. She was actually finding more about uni for her boyfriend. Thats sweet of her!

A friendship that i have never taken for granted. Close as sisters even now (: Smiles.

Sunday (15 March 2009)

My cousins have been coming to my church for the past few months already. feel quite happy (: I believe God always has plans for us to bring people to christ. I have been going for the 11am service. I couldn't wake up for the 830am service since the start of attachment. hahas.

Since Jan, i have not been serving the worship ministry because of the work load i have in school. Daniel wanted to do up a roster for me in March but knowing that there were many combined services due to super sunday(5th sunday) and AGM, i could be the worship leader in April. (:

Therefore, i guess i would only go for the 8.30am service only i am the worship leader for the week.. hee hee... Lazy to get up so early in the morning during the weekends now... (:

back to work...

Results is out for year 2 sem 2. Did pretty alright (:

I never fail any module and pass with a decent grade is quite good already. All I want is do well and get into the university that I am aiming already. HAHA… (: all planned the routes I wanna take already.

Quite happy with project grade, software engineering and XML.. i was very worried for my XML..

Just pray hard that I could get above 3.5 after 3rd year. I know 3rd year is not easy. LOLOL…

Sometimes i wonder why people always asking each other's grade?? hmmm.. are they comparing or wanting to be better than you?? maybe i am not a person that is very competitive..

These week have been quite busy at work for me. Needed to help the accounts payable team as well as pricing team. I manged to do a hands on releasing of bids. and i released 4 bids.. YAY.. on my own.. hahas..

Cheryl is always a happy girl. This week is the happiest week.

Met charmaine on Monday. Went to vivo to look for our ex collegues even though many have left either to another outlet or resigned.

Treated michelle to fish market on Tuesday due to her excellent A level results cuz I promised her that if she could score the grade that she wants to achieve, I would treat her to a meal. So her wish is granted.. HAHA…

Wednesday did not meet anyone because my two cousins celebrated their birthday so my grandma called my family to go over instead of Thursday. Thanks to my supervisor who stays very near my house and offered me to take a taxi together with him. And it could meant that I would reach my grandma hse before 7.30pm. hee hee

Thurday went to IT fair with dear dear.. hee hee.. I find this year IT fair isn’t cheap.. hmmm.. have been trying to look for a gadget but its pricely. Sigh…

Today… Might be going to visit the popular. Need to get some books and stationeries and also spending time with dear dear.

Thanks for the effort to fetch me most of the time after work (: hahas.. even though its far away from your house as well.

Have anyone read the book Change Of Heart by Jodi Picoult? A book to recommend to you. Her other books such as tenth circle is nice too.. Take time to read them.

Been very pleased working with my collegues that I have met. Very happy to be in this company working for 3 months. Could I extend my attachment and have 24 module credits instead?? Hahas…

I hope to work there after i graduated next year. Before entering uni.. Would be whole lot of fun even though it could be stressful at times but having collegues so bonded together as a team, I realized how it is to work as a team (: Its not about the working attitude of the team but the passion to give out their best and the commitment they have during work (:

This inspiration is taken from my workplace. I think it was the permanent staff who worked here last time left it here which I found it something to look before starting work.

These are 12 points to take note to make yourself happy everyday (:

1) Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things

2) Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears

3) Don’t take yourself too seriously. Do not think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people

4) You can’t please everybody. Do not let criticism worry you

5) Do not let your neighbour set your standards. Be yourself

6) Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.

7) Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones

8) Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy. Avoid people who make you unhappy

9) Have many interests. If you can’t travel, read about new places

10) Don’t hold postmortems. Don’t spend your time brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don’t be one who never gets over things

11) Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself

12) Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

I have always being the earliest in my department for the fact that they might have worked late everyday. I would make it a point that when its 5.50pm everyday, I will pack up and leave 6pm on the dot..hahas… that means I can go HOME!!

I kind of miss my mum’s cooking now.. wonders why.. I think home cooked food are always the best

On tues, my hamsters started fighting over food. Haiz.. this shows I have to either separate them or buy a bigger cage to connect them with two food bowls and two homes for them to stay..

Hamster like to mark their territories when they live in the home very often. I missed my hamsters when I went to stay at the bungalow(chalet) for 3 days 3 nights. When I came back home, they welcomed me. Normally they would sleep in the day and awake at the night. However, when I came home, they were so delighted to see me. I guess they have known who is the owner. I love my two hamsters so much. Snowy and cutie. But cutie loves to bite my hand. I wonder why too. But snowy loves to crawl on my palms or lick on finger.

Hamsters do bring joy to people. Though they live in cages and spend most of their time sleeping but if you are close to them, they would be like a friend and a companion to you.

My hamsters are very smart. When I let them out in the balcony when I wash the cage almost every week, they would run about and feel so happy. They run faster and faster each time. But of course, not as fast as roboski hamsters. When I make their homes and change the beddings, they would keep smelling their houses and hoping to get back in. They would find ways to get in and eventually, they would use the entrance to get back into their home and never find them around the balcony anymore. This is how smart hamsters can be, They could smell and recognize their own house..

HAHA… every morning, I would slack at my workplace before going over to the accounts side. And in the afternoon, I would go back to my own office to do releasing of bids etc…

I love my attachment! And I really do! (: with such nice people working around me that brings me joy when working with them.

Thanks dear for fetching me from work yesterday. Though on thurs I do not meet you to shop around, but u fetch me home from work. That’s sweet of you.

And today too (:

I am quite lucky to have my java tut teacher during my Year 1 Sem 1 as my LO for this attachment. One of my classmate is also under him. He's a nice lecturer to begin with. (: cheers

Kkz! Back to work.

I would share with you something inspiratinal in the next post.

I have started work for four days… on the third day, I started to OT already.. I work till 7.30pm yesterday. Hardworking huh?? LOL… But is actually due to the fact that I finally got the access to the pricing workflow tool to work on. Without that, I could even forget about doing all the pricing bids and get bids approved.. and I do not need to achieve anything during my 12 weeks of attachment.

I would say that for the 4 days, I’ve been enjoying myself with my collegues in the attachment. It was really fun because most of them are in the late 20s. And they use msn too.. How interesting can it be?

My supervisor is also very nice… thank God that I have such a good supervisor who really teach me step by step on how to do the pricing instead of reading documents after documents. He normally sit down with me after lunch to go through things that I must know before doing the doing up financial analysis as well as tracking bids etc…

My department is always very noisy after lunch.. hahas… this is maybe due to the stress that they have at work and they would sometimes sit together to have some small talks.

I remember on the second day that I was among one of their conversation which involves. That is… To guess how old they are… HAHA… funny right?? And I have guessed my supervisor age exact… hahas.. but not for some of them.

I have learnt something.. Do not judge a person by its looks.. They may look mature but they are only in their late 20s.

I do not think for the 3 months I would be dragging myself to work. But only have problems waking up everyday because its way too early. I must remember to sleep early everyday.. HAHA…

I have to wake up at 6.30. By 745am, I must leave my house to reach my nearest workplace mrt station by 850am and walk over to my workplace.

I wonder how I can cope by having doing 50% accounts payable work and 50% pricing work. Let’s see… LOL

Accounts payable department are always so stressed. Must learn to work under pressure there. Because what is accounts payable???? Its you owe people money. O$P$... so they are always calling you to pay faster…

Finance always states that collect from suppliers early and pay later… HAHA… so… that’s e stress they face.. people calling them to get their payments done and fast.

Pricing department are not so stressed.. maybe they listen to music, have small talks and do work at the same time?? Or sometimes sit around for some small talks?? I think that makes the department stronger as collegues right?? HAHA…

Gotta go! back to work now... i hope i dun OT again...

24th Feb to the 27th Feb left me memories that will never fade away...

I remember what my friend said... the chalet felt like a dream... It feels like it didn't happen. It was too good to be true.

To all who came to the chalet: ( let me name all of them)

1) Debby
2) Berry
3) Sindy
4) Tian Ru
5) Andy
6) Vera
7) Sandy
8) Joshua
9) Jun Kai
10) Pei Wen
11) Kelvin
12) Pei Yu
13) Darwin
14) Cheryl(ME)

Thanks for making the chalet a success...

We did exciting activites such as overnight cycling on wed night, puzzle from tues to wed midnight, cooking for 3 meals on wednesday where eveyone cook a dish, watching hong kong drama serial on tues and wednesday, having bbq on tues to thurs.

It really felt like a family stay altogether with friends. The house is so big. Its actually a real bungalow that people stay in. Everyone said that it was bigger than aloha loyang. YES indeed. Its so big..

To all who did not come: You really missed out all the fun we had.. the joy, happiness and even the fun times together.

2 March 2009

Now is the starting of attachment and i am posted to _______... hahas.. if you would want to know... ask me.. hahas...

i am posted to the finance department. I think God have placed me there to appreciate more accounting and finance.. To those who know me well... I do not really like accounting and finance.. hahas... So maybe this attachment either make me hate it more or loving it a little..

I'll be helping the planning, pricing and accounts payable team.. it makes up the finance team...

my supervisor and manager is always so busy.. ROAR!! i am always asking them whether i have things to do.. so boring.. hahas..

There are 5 people in my class that got into the same company as me... Waking up is a chore for me.. lucky my working hours are from 9am to 6pm...

No programming.. No coding... Do not need to kill brain cells anymore (: maybe for 3 months... hahas!! But lots of computer work.. esp microsoft office...

Project Scope: SOX Testing, epricer extraction for stock bid and stock take...

So knowing that can show that it is either the finance or accounts teams?? HAHA.. i guess it as much actually... Its an individual project though.. No one is in the same department as me..

My supervisor is quite young.. hahas.. all of us actually communicate from MSN.. how interesting can my department be... (: Everyone use it as a means of communication during work.. hee hee...

3 March 2009

Hmmm... this whole morning i've been slacking...

SEE!! i can even blog during my working hours.. LOL.. too boring already, But hope my spervisor would brief more about my project scope...

Marley and Me movie... HERE I COME!! i have read the book already... (: i hope i wont cry
