Babes are having fun now at Xing Wang HK cafe, but I am too tired to join them. 2nd day at the Comtech for the audit, and wells, it wasn't as bad as what I expected. I felt good about myself this time. I realise that if we really put in effort to think deeper, and not just carry out tasks set by others, u will find audit more interesting and more meaningful. Understanding the rationale behind established guidelines and challenging them is truely thought provoking. I enjoy what I am doing, and how I am allowed to use my creativity and flexibilty to think out of the box. :) Keep up the momentum...! And work will be far more interesting than filling in workpapers.

Fluff's getting naughtier by the days. Wells, cos he knows we love him and never bear to punish him. He's been pulling the toilet roll down and dragging them from daddy's room to mine! Bringing shoes down the shoe rack, tearing my letters. oHHHH.....nooo......and dad just showed me this piece of stray cloth from......someone's UNDERWEAR! ok, nm. still adorable.

Next comp will be on the 27th April. Gona do ballroom novice for the first time, but I think I;m gona treat it as an experience. :) But I think Shenhong can do better with more time given. Probably doing just pre-am for Latin, but since it's our first partnership, I may wanna take up Novice too. What says you? Quite happy with the new partnership, where both have very strong characters. But, we gota manage it, cos we can be very stubborn in our own ways and can insist on doing things our way. I think we'll be fine.

Me gona hire my hairstylist to do my hair this time. Hope it will be nice.

~ loves ~

I am VERY happy. :)

I am glad to hear good news finally from her. :)

That will be 2 things to be happy. so i am DAMN happy.

Oh, and my twin got what she deserves too. THREE things! Yeah-eee...

Booked my trip to Taiwan this April. 14th April's supposed to be our 2nd yr anniversary & guess what. I am celebrating with jQ's MOM DAD and SIS. hahahahahah. They will be there too. LO-MANTIC hor?

ok some updates on dance. Taking one step at a time, and trying not to hurry into anything. This is probably my last try....take care of me pls. :) k nights....

I love Fluff. I love u.

The week zoomed past. It was a work week with not many highlights, which is in a way, a good thing. Spent the last 2 days taking a report writing course which was very focused on Audit Report writing, not just business writing. I find it very useful and relevant to our job, but I hope I can apply it effectively.

So, I made a decision to... REBOND my hair on Sunday. AGAIN. Straight hair is afterall, better. :)

Well, I didn't strike toto. obviously. ok...but, bonus is coming! I gona BUY NEW CLOTHESSS. YEAH-eee.

Just for laughs...See my lil one. Obscene yeh?

Ok, I’m terribly upset with STARHUB. I recently applied for SCV and they gave me 2 faulty boxes, which I try to activate that evening but to no avail. That was 2 months AGO by the way. My bf called 1633 a few times, trying several methods, which obviously made us very frustrated and finally the technician told him the boxes were faulty, and offered to come down to do a swap. But since our schedules are very irregular, we rejected the offer and said that we’ll go down to Starhub to do a swap ourselves. SOOO, as we’re at Starhub we asked for compensation – 1 mth free subscription. NOT TOO MUCH RIGHT for causing such inconvenience to us.

Well, 2 months later which happens to be TODAY, someone called and told us that they went through the conversation log between bf and starhub TWO months ago. *ok they actually went through the trouble of listening to the conversation*

Starhub: “We went through the telephone conversation between Mr Foong and the technician. And we realize that Mr Foong actually rejected the technician’s offer to come down to swap the cable box”

Me: “Ya, because of the fact that his hours are irregular. So how is this relevant?”

Starhub: “If you had accepted the offer, there wouldn’t have been any inconvenience caused.”

Me: “If I were to accept your offer, I have to go through the inconvenience of arranging my work schedule. If I go down to starhub, I have to go through the inconvenience of transporting myself there with the 2 heavy boxes, which I did. Be it you coming down or we going to starhub, we still have to wait till we are free! Which means, no SCV to watch for that entire period! Also, I went through the inconvenience of calling your technician 4 times and perspiring while trying to test the box. The inconvenience caused is due to the FAULTY BOXES and NOT because we rejected your kind offer.”

Starhub: “OH. Ok. I will let my manager know and sorry for calling you so many times.”

Me: “It’s OK. Bye bye.”

More stress at work.

Everything is self inflicted...but somehow I feel that people are watching me. Now not only do I not want to let myself down, I don't want to let the people who helped me down. Small little things affects me, like saying something "not very right, but yet not significantly wrong" during team meetings, where impression matters. I am so careful that I lost my identity some times. Maybe I am too sensitive, but I always feel that people are expecting alot from me, from the things I say to the things I do. SIGH. I only want someone to tell me, how much they are expecting from me. Now I don't know what I am saying, but one thing I know. I am under alot of unnecessary stress that I am not functioning as well as I should be.

:( I am a perfectionist. So much so that I am exhausted.

I'm blogging like crazy. Simple reason: Haven't updated for long.

I am stressed at work, with my new audit. My brain is so scattered....and I don't really have a good feeling about this. I really need to calm down, clear my thoughts, and do it. Step by step. Meanwhile, let me rest my mind.

Have I been too hard on myself? I care so much about what others think, and most importantly, I try to meet expectations of people. The more people treasure you, the higher their expectation of you, and the harder to meet their expectations consistently. Deep in my heart, these people matters. Alot. Wells...I shall just do what I can and continue to be sincere. I get upset easily too these days. Nvm...just one thing I have to do. FOCUS. Do what is necessary, work, play, friends. I'll be fine.

Today we celebrated Siew Lim's bdae. She turns 30 tml... and she was Ssoooo upset seeing THREE BIG candles on the cake. hehe...it's was a small event, but I am glad she likes the cake. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

ok, and I celebrated Vdae in a simple way yesterday. We agreed there will be no presents, since we have spent so much buying gifts for each other for the past few months. Wasn't expecting flowers like last year. (he sent a bouquet to the office last yr) No messages, no calls.

Nope, I wasn't upset about it. I went home straight after work at Comtech and reached home about 630. Then jQ picked me & Fluffy up...yeh, Vdae with my 2 boyfriends. JQ GAVE ME FLOWERS!! I'm so surprised. thx!! Off we went to MS dog cafe...just to realise it's full reserved! ok..so Fluffy had an outdoor dinner of chicken with cheeese. not bad, at least we saved some $$. Walked my lil bf around the area before sending him home to accompany daddy. :) Then it's time for me to dine with my official bf..hehe. Had crabs. not very nice but still....I had CRABS! yea!

Been awhile since my last entry, obviously cos I've been extremely busy. Exhausting all my energy for CNY, dancing, work, doggie, and bf. Wells let the pictures do the job:

CNY with friends

Very fun night with the babes at MOF

Finally 1 guy, IVAN. There were Adrian and Andy too...but not in my camera. hehe

Ash and me. Very san1 ba1 look. But i like!

It's the 1st day of the lunar new year!

The family of 6 (+ popo and lil fluffy) went to the temple just now. SOooo sweaty, but at least it's not raining. It's the 1st year my lil one is spending CNY with us heeeeheee. I luv my fluff! Think the Rat year is a good one for GOAT n DOG (jQ and Me). YEAHHHHH....i choose to believe the forecast on TV yesterday. Hahaha.

ok, waiting for auntie to come over. Now, time for some rest. zzzz.

Happy Chinese New Year!

A warm welcome to the year of RAT! The year of PIG end off with a good note. Just before New Year's eve, the parents made up! A harmonious family is such a blessing. Today morning Daddy sent brother to work, and then mom...but not me. haah.

Wells, today the team could officially leave at 1230pm. Yeah. The team is getting more harmonious too...or rather more open now. I luv my teammates! Made some really good friends in office, which I'm really thankful. I believe as long as we are sincere, colleagues can become long term friends too. :) Had a good lunch of Korean foodie (again) with Baobei. We were such a nuisance to each other la. But we're always very happy being the silly us...had Yami Yogurt too. Heee.

ok, time to enjoy. OOPs. I forgot to announce that I can officially drive on the road now!! beware...

Fluffffy!!! Here I come!

This is probably the most unprepared CNY. I have no new clothes, cos I wear EVERY single new piece the very next day. Wells, I maybe jeans this year...it gets more and more casual as the years go by. Maybe I shld dress Fluffy up instead...nah.

:( Mom and dad are.....having cold war. I can understand both sides, but I can't seem to let them understand each other. Though I kept telling mom why dad feels the way he did, I can't really say the same to dad, cos dad is the most stubborn person I've ever seen. Second to brother, maybe.

I've been back for almost a week. But everyday has been very stressful for me, mentally. Broke down a few times...I just hope that people can give me little bit more understanding if I don have time for them. There are some important things for me to do. But I'll still try to make time. :) Keep the messages coming. I appreciate.
