Mom brought mi for massage....leg n back, the two areas which I've been torturing all these while. I'm going for more.......it was heavenly-painful. Oh yeah.... but when I was doing the back massage, the first thing she said was: "wah....u full of bones!"

Met Mian Mian for lunch today, and had ramen. MianMian: think for ur future bah.......seems like this is not working out....... hopefully you'll come to a conclusion soon and end ur sufferings. U can be happier........

Hugz boy. Just wanna tell u, I am easily affected their the kind of tone you use on me.....I know you didn't mean to be harsh this morning. Hope u're feeling happy with the new curtain, and ur $250 prize. hehe.

I LOVE JIANA!!!!!!

hehe. Yah, I really mean it. I always enjoy the time spent with her, think she doesnt have the time to read blogs, but still want to say JIANA IS THE BEST! Bleh~ Nana came over on Saturday and we spent the WHOLE morning trying to paint out nails........and it was, DISASTROUS. Especially me, I kept staring at my ten fingernails, and feeling uneasy on our way to Vivo CIty to collect her suit. Finally I made up my mind to get my nails done by a professional....thank god for giving me such nice nails. eh-hem. Cos I just need to have an express manicure.....for that perfect look. Yes, i am such a bhb. This girl got her nails done too, and.......she had the same color as me. AND we got the same earrings too from TANGS. Nana: don be too upset over the lost sales!! I'm sure u will get ur BIG FAT customer soon.

I am currently at my second home again. Nth to do, just can surf net......that boy is doing his work outside. Climbing up and down. haha........ dear: that yellow board looks cool~~~~ Be careful k? :) Love u.

Dance competition yesterday, and this is my first ballroom novice that I was not in the Finals. I guess those finalist are really too good.....FOR THE MOMENT. I just need some more time.....and I'm sure I'll be on par, OR better. I have confidence in myself. Congrats to HJ on her first comp with SW. Good job. This week onwards, I gota shift my attention to my long-forgotten Latin. First on the list: get the damn International dance shoe. Bye bye to $195!

Alright, nth on my mind now. Shall blog again, when my brain's working. :)

Steamboat steamboat

Firstly, thanks to Adrian and Mian Mian for helping out! WIthout the two of u, the gathering would not have been possible. Thanks Caiqing for the titbits too!!! And everyone who was present.....I wonder when we'll have such a gathering again. It's really a KPMG-Leavers gathering yo~ Too bad babe was not here....... :(

To Andy: I thought you said you'll help me with the fruit salad? haha....end up, my MOM was cutting the fruits, and u were the one helping to pluck grapes one by one to pass on to my MOM.... bleh. Still, thanks hunk!

Ash & Babe: wish the two of u a pleasant journey to JAPAN!!! Get me nice food ok? Cos clothes there are too ex.... and dun think u love me enough to get me clothes as present rite? :P

YY: hope donggu is feeling better!!!!

Baobei: why baobei always talk to me so fiercely? WE ARE FRENDS!

Btw, my big big boss told me I'll be gg to Hong Kong next year for work....not too sure for how long. I am excited!! But......fearful too. I wonder how things will go bah~~ :) Afterall, it's my first overseas business trip!

My first week is over in DBS, and I'm happy to announce that i was not LATE for 5 full days in a row. It's really a big big accomplishment for me, claps please. SO i deserve something good today! I went to Malacca. Not too far from SG, it was just abt 2 hours drive....that place was, HOT HOT HOT. We were supposed to be there for some special purpose, important business, ah-haha....some cock-up lah, and we ended up shopping. AND not even eating any famous food there la~ So it was effectively...driving 2 hours for shopping at causeway-point-look-alike.

Din manage to buy much, dear got me this turtle that baobei ling has too.....but think a lil different. We got two....one big, one small. SUPER cute. hmm, and one nail polish from Skin Shop, and I was soo eager to apply onto my initially ugly and cannot-make-it toenails, that i did it on a moving car! what happens? That guy insists that i put my disastrous toe onto my blog.....here it is. I need a peti one of this days....CONNIE!!! I WAN A PETI, bring me pls. haha, this babe does her nails THIS THIS often. Think now not so liao rite..... :)

Back at abt 9+.....and we went to a place which will be his second home SOON...and maybe mine too? Erm, i mean, I'll be a maid at this second home. sooo....

Been almost 1 week on my new job. I've been feeling quite happy, and motivated to be self discipline these days. Hopefully this lasts.....I mean, at least I;ve been trying not to break the momentum lah, by keeping to reaching at 820am. For the past 4 days, I've been reading and reading and reading.....but I don find myself being too lobo, cos I've been trying really hard to read and understand as much as I can. Especially the Basel II implementation stuff, have a much better understanding now. And been reading up on their audit methodology, and glad that I know what is happening, and have quite a good understanding of the whole audit flow and what is expected of me. Work hasn't started and glad that I'm given the luxury of time to read what is necessary and do the admin stuff. :)

Been going home everyday at 640pm..official office hour is 830 - 615. Been a good girl....hehe reach 820 and leave 640. I realise that my energy level is really falling short........though knock off when I still see daylight, the min I reach home, especially if there is dance, I can literally feel my bones falling apart and my eyes shutting. I believe this is what real working life is bah..been slacking too much in the past.

Btw.....me and YY made it for breakfast today, but........I was late. So could only talk for a lil while and walk back to our towers together, will buck up tml. Went to Orchard with Ling just now, and was listening to her prob with her bf. :( I wonder why two pple can quarrel and have cold war for a few days without talking. No one takes the initiative, and wat's exactly on these two pple's mind? Only can guess what the other party is thinking......the thing is, Ling can now go on with life happily without him. Is this the result of "training" or....is sth missing ored? Sigh....

Dear coming over now. I gtg! Nvr see u for a few days already.....hope ur work is gg on smoothly, and don exhaust urself too much!

My first day in "SCHOOL" :)

From the title of this bloggie, Ting Ting is in a good mood! I am enjoying this while I can....Been quite ok in my new department. Had orientation at PWC Building with YY early in the morning, we were late despite meeting for breakfast at 750am. Hey, 750am.......I never made it this early during my KP days. *btw, I am now playing with my new IBM labtop, which looks ugly, squarish, and NOT stylish* We were so relieved when we saw on the welcome letter "one-day orientation"....and after 1 hour plus of presentation about the background and struture of the Bank, the presenter went "u can now walk back to your respective towers and report to the respective units." Me and YY stared at each other.....................blank. She is lucky to have someone as new as her, gg into the same place. I am alone......Luckily *phew* the pple were very friendly, far friendlier than what I have expected. I am impressed by how systematic these pple were, or shld I say how free these ppl were. Each of my team member was responsible for briefing me certain things, like how to do timesheet (basically the admin matters), and what the KPIs are, how the appraisals are structured. There is one part in the "program" stating "430pm onwards - some time for her to settle down". How nice...... :) "Team lunch" was part of the written agenda too.

Btw my rank is sooo low that I do not even have a name card. Hey......I was a SENIOR last time ler, haahahha. :'( Have so much to learn over there, and so much to read. Like Basal II documents, which is like HELL thick. urgh. Still, I think I better make use of these few free days to familiarise myself with the resources available on the intranet and read all I can manz!! Reading all these will be keeping me busy busy for tomorrow as well.

Wish me good luck. I'm not gg to be the blur Ting again who noes nothing. Hurrrr, at the minimum, initiative please! bye bye......I am gg to slp. Meeting YY again for breakfast again tml, hope we can sustain this morning meet-up. Nights frens, night dear.

2 Day 1 Night Bintan Trip @ Nirwana Gardens!! HJ and I had good fun, unexpectedly. This is my 3rd time there, and.....i stayed at Nirwana for ALL THREE TIMES! I think it was more of a photo-taking session, and the poses we came up with, especially at the beach were super super cannot-make-it lor. No one to take photos for us, we ended up setting the timer and dashing to the desinated spot to "do out poses". We were trying soooo much to be bikini models lah, I was directing HJ to splash water, hold hands and run, and play with sand, just to get our "model look-alike" pose. Luckily there weren't many pple. If not I am sure I have shot myself dead. Yeepie! Had my suntanning after what seemed like ages......it was more then half a year. :( I lost my tan.......

The second day while we were having our breakfast, an angmoh from Germany, aged 35, and looking more lie 40+ kept smiling at me. I thought angmohs are just being friendly. Ended up chatting with us. I think he was being OVER friendly. Even offered to lend us his room to bathe after we checked out...erm. Din wanna think too far...so just gave him the benefit of the doubt. Yet he asked us to meet him by the poolside after checking out, and out of courtesy, we did. And he was just ......... a little too close to us. And he was telling us he wished we missed our bus so that we can stay over in his room for the night. gosh..............Finally asked us whether we have bfs....ta-da!! I knew it. And i told him I am attached, and HJ is married with kids. wahahaha. I am shivering now that i have mentioned him. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Our program:
1) Suntanning round 1
2) Taught HJ to swim
3) Spa
4) Dinner at pasar ole ole! I LOVE THE LEAD SINGER
5) Breakfast
6) MAde a FREND from Germany, Friend???
7) Suntanning round 2 (while thinking of how to escape from our "friend")
8) Tea-ing
9) home sweet home

Overall, FUN!

After coming back from Bintan, I had some unknown stress. Coming to me from all directions, bf, friends, dance, family. Not real problems, but I am feeling the stress. I do not know, how, to satisfy the ppl I love, and yet having my needs met.

Dance or friends? Teacher wans to me go for a comp on the 24th, but I've had plans for my frends. He was angry and disappointed with me. Who shld I satisfy? This friend and that friend....what shld I do? Dance or rest? Dance or work? BF or rest? For the most obvious reason, everything clashes.....all at night or during the weekends. What shld I do? I am feeling stressed cos I have yet to have a proper schedule worked out for all. Now, I can better understand what you are facing, boy. I'll give u less pressure.....and it's me now, who needs to plan my time for all that are important, cos they are not me, and I do not expect everyone to understand my problems. I do believe that I can manage my time, and I'll see improvement in my schedule soon!

I have a choice to hide it, or to show it. I've decided to hide.

Maybe it doesn't really matter even if my greatest fear happens to be the truth, as long as I can face it. Maybe the best way is not even talking abt it, and letting myself be alone for as long as I need. What is affecting me now? I dont know. My reaction is going to determine how things will become in the future, without concrete solutions to problems which don't even seem like problems themselves, I have no choice but to leave it.

It's so weak of me being a girl. Maybe I've got to learn to be a woman. Like it or not, I'm becoming one.


When you find a friend to depend on, the friend becomes ur enemy someday. When you find someone to depend on the next day, he becomes ur greatest worry. How do I prevent all these from happening? Enjoy their companionship, and never go overboard, in every single way. Distance......is the solution.

If YOU r a man, admit the things u have done. Don't be such a hypocrite and act as if u are a BIG BROTHER to all ur juniors and back stab them and push the blame to them once u find urself IN DANGER. U wanna cover ur damn ass in everything, even in such trivial matters, I'll buy u thousands of packets of ADULT diapers for your birthday IN DECEMBER. How about that??

STOP ACTING!

I've finally gone to the library, and I realise that it's not that I hate to read. But my experience with books were bad...text books, story books which I was forced to read in school. Nothing seemed interesting, or maybe i shld say nothing seemed relevant to my life back then. Reading became a chore, and for impatient pple like me...I just wanna finish it. Yup, read for the sake of reading. Now I've just given myself another chance to discover the art of reading. Haha~

So, there I was at the NLB near Bras Basah...looking for self-help or self-improvement books...like how to manage your time, how to organise your life....in the end, this book captured my attention and i was like, YES, I've got to read this!! "HOW TO FIX EVERYTHING"...it's kinda cute. Divided the book into broad catergories like home appliances, daily annoyances etc...and tells u ways to fix things up. Saw one farnie part abt how to untangle your phone cord...! and how to fix a repositioned contact lens. hmmmmmm.....

The other book I got was abt office survival skills....specially catered for women. I think I need it lah....and good preparation for my new job! I've yet to read it...hope it's useful. :)

Had a talk with HJ about partnership. Things come with a price, I realise. Why are we always not happy in dance? What issit tat we wanna achieve? I asked myself.....in dance, I never want it to be my career, cos it's not meant to have a price-tag tagged to it. Do I want to climb higher? yes. Reason? You'll never see the end to learning in dance. There are more to discover at every single stage...learning the techniques, learning the feel, learning the art of competition, learning the art of communication, learning to fail, and learning to pick urself up. Partnership is just one of the many aspects of dance. With every partnership, new problems arise, yet there are new opportunities to discover. How are u going choose to see them? Will things be fine soon...?

*dear I have feelings too, I hope u understand. I understand what you are going thru, and I am supportive of everything you are doing. When I feel down or frustrated, it is cos of the situation, not cos of u. While I understand and try my best to do what is best for u, will u do the same?*

Been long since i do latin for one whole day.

What's missing in our dance? Speed? Connection? Presentation? Techinque? Body rhythum? Character? Or the choreography? Or just a combination of all?

chacha: face is a lil too blank. Feel the music in your body....not just the legs. Your movements ARE music itself. The double spins.....aren't in straight lines. Connections are lost after the first half....lost the stamina and focus as well. What shld be done abt these?

Rhumba: Where is the romance? The fluidity isn't enuff.....stability of my footwork here, sliding? Passing? strong fast actions at the turns....none. The connection with the audience, and the partner. It felt rough.....thru-out the dance. Let go of our emotions, and express it here. All our frustrations in life, in love. None has been expressed. We'll work on these.

Jive: It's new to us. It's a very light dance, a playful and cheeky dance. Light but strong leg actions are crucial. What have we done? Controlled...and slow. We've got to proceed....like what u said.

What's next? We can't stay at this level any longer.

Day 2 in Genting

okay....we ended day one with silly photo taking in the hotel. love u....


We were quite good. Woke up at abt 830 the next morning.....to catch our breakfast. Food is.....not nice~~~~ U are so sick lah....told me with a straight face that we cannot go into the cafe when we saw this "sorry, we r closed" sign at one of the side doors. I was already prepared to go for our BK instead.....hey, u are sucha good liar!


Went to Ripley's Believe It or Not exhibition. Tell u, it's the best thing we did in Genting so far. It was soo fun, we were like kids screaming and running around in this tunnel with the surrounding walls revolving....we were so silly lah. It was an illusion, but we couldn't walk properly while crossing the bridge in the tunnel. we had great fun seriously......din expect it to be fun. The attendent says normally pple go in for 45 min...but i think we went in for almost 2 hrs! wahhaaa~


We had K lunch after that. soooo cheap. 2 hrs...20 rm with food! My dear is the best singer in my heart~ We had buskin robbins ice-cream....dinner at "hou2 mei3"....shopping....casino....and movie!! watched Rob-b Hood...it's realllly a good show. Touching and exciting and hilarious man. The baby in the show is so adorable lar~ Overall, day 2 is great!!! Love the weather...and you.

*my idol... :P*

*guess wad song he is singing?*

Say Bye Bye to Genting!! Had breakfast at BK, and off we went....home sweet home. Anyways....my sofa has arrived!!

*ta-da!!*

Genting is great, I LOVE IT!!!!

I'm back from Genting!! It's great to go on trip with u~ First World is not that bad afterall! It's just a LITTLE *e-hem* smaller than Genting Hotel. But, i still think it's better to take a good coach and an OK hotel...it's just for sleeping and bathing mah. :)

Day 1:

Boarded our coach at 10pm at Lavender...Adam drove us there. Nice of him!! Dear loves this coach - Transtar Premium. It's his first time taking this coach, and i bet he felt the same way I did when I took it a few weeks back...it's like WOW! :) Btw...the tv programs are the same as last time lah~ wahaha...so I watched the Korean show a second time. (awhile only lah, cos I fell asleep) THIS PIG SLEPT ALL THE WAY....zzzzzzzz. I was so angry with this boy. When we reached, he was still dreaming. He just didn't wanna believe that we have reach First World, then abt 5am. The whole bus had alighted, and he just didn't wanna budge. He went "can don't get down one mah..." Apparently, he thought it was just a rest-over! urrgh...

*censored! On the coach*

*I think he is sooo handsome... :P*

*Waiting at the hotel Lobi for check-in...sleepy heads*

*Our room #11-924: Dear says this is our pose a few mths back in Bangkok!*

We were so tired....slept all the way to 12pm. We were so glad we took the coach the night b4...cos we had ample time for everything. Then it was LUNCH at pizza hut! Nice...

*Pizza Hut is the only thing WORTH eating there....cos the price is normal*

*The candy shop opposite Pizza Hut*

*Thanks for the candy! I love it~*

Then it was ThemePark time! Haha...this time I refused to take the Space Shot. Luckily dear was scared of it too...so nobody to persuade me...unlike yanrong the other time! hmmph. Not v fantastic...but i had fun strolling and eating cup corn and candy floss with u! Shopping time....and so sweet of u....I love the "heart-shape" (this is wad u call it...hee). KFC for dinner......den back to hotel to change to jeans, and casino here we come!! we lost.

*At theme park*

*this is the heart shape!*

*one of the few photos taken by other ppl*

More photos tml!! tired.........mom's home from dance.

I'm feeling kind of...uneasy....Mom didn't seem too happy when I came home just now. I hope it's just becos I did not iron the clothes, and nothing else. Showed me a face and responded coldly to my questions. SIgh...it's so easy to make pple upset. I'm gona iron HALF of the basket of clothes tml. SURE I WILL!!

Just back from Bugis shopping with HJ. Sobz...no bag for her. That bag that she wans huh....always cannot get one, i think better go buy the PVC and ask someone to tailor make. :P Ya, SHE BOUGHT THIS TOP ... which i said looks like prisoner lor. actuallie..................................yes, it looks like prisoner. Now the trend is, either u look like prisoner, or u look like sailor, or u look pragnant, or u look like.....zebra crossing. eh-hem. Had apple struddel opp bugis junction, nice. We were talking abt those ghostly experiences...I was describing abt this ghost underneath the bed and all...when suddenly a guy walked into the shop behind me, and I was scared outa my wits. I was a loser again! really jumped up and face turning white... bleh.

Dear got a jab...poor thing. Hope his itch goes away! U told me "ur hand hand pain..." so cute~ Going Genting tml night...yeappiie! Hugs. I WAN TO WIN MONEY LAH... Gota help connie babe buy her "keep fit" tea, remind me ok?

I'm gona imagine First World to be the BEST, BIGGEST, CLEANEST hotel in Genting ~ lala

ok! gona sleeeepp, tired shit. Night!

Phew~ I have finally done my clearance. Soo absent minded, this idiot tingting. I shall leave the details out, cos this is just so loser of me. I am always, yes ALWAYS scatter-brain. Someone just reminded me...actually told me that she is angry with me, and initially I just can't remember what I have done. I promised to meet her last week, last last week, go on trip, do this and that, and I CAN'T get my lousy brain to work! I think I made soo many friends angry...by forgetting to do this and that, and made them sooo neglected. I only remember those things that pple remind me and FOR THAT PARTICULAR day only. Oh gosh, give me a walking organiser that reminds me to do things every hour! Thanks v v v much. Small little things I forget, become a BIG issue to many...cos it just happens sooo many times. I AM SO SORRY my dear friends. I think Conniebabe and BB Ling wanna kill me too, cos I just never go for their "happiness many" outing so many times, cos always dance and dance, or just nvr turn up cos no mood, no money etc. Sisters...I just met some the other day during Jiana's housewarming. I realise how much I really miss them. Sobbbzzz.

Oh, really I need to thank you for scolding me. You shld be angry this time lah...I think many pple will agree with u, Ting Ting is always absent minded and 不认真...always one ear in one ear out. OOOpppss...sick sick sick.

Conniebabe: so sorry I think I made u angry today, or maybe I just pissed u off. Made u walk all the way to Caltex and no seat for u...den nvr go take photo with u too. I was very rushed (ya..rushed like always...i will try to change. k?) and thinking abt my timesheet problem. Now I am the issues-many one.

Jing: We'll go for Msia ok? Cos I have no money already...and I really owe u alot alot alot of things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Huifang: I wanted to send u off...but I am so forgetful and "heartless"...Hope u are ok in London!

Sisters: I am really sorry I always can't make it for the gatherings. Cos they're always on Saturday evenings! I have dance EVERY week.... :( This Saturday's gathering I probably will be there. I shall give dance a miss this week...to celebrate Ade's and Yee's birthday.

Dear: Sorry to always trouble u and Adam...last time I forget to take passport from ur car. Today so mafan u and Adam again...all due to my carelessness.

Desmond: I forgot to copy the photos again. Sorry.....

Shenhong: I forgot to treat u...... :( But i am broke now. Ai yo.

**** kill me ****

Just gota get those planning out for goodness sake. Pardon me, if I make u all angry. I need just a lil time. SO SORRY!

Tata~
