Christmas eve party was great. Enjoyed myself with the company and Gulliver's Travels. Nice movie with non-stop laughter. Got home at 3 plus am. Totally tired but worth the tiredness. Next up would be New Year's eve party. Gonna be lots of fun as well. (:

On a sidenote, I've decided to change my wallet after much hesitation. Black prints on my wallet after family lunch yesterday made me turn off and sad cause it was a birthday gift from Clique 2.2 and I treasured that wallet a lot. Now, it'll be kept in my cupboard. Getting it on Friday before the party and high chances is that I doubt it'll be white although it's nice.

Feelings messed up once again. Thrown into a state of confusion and full of question marks surround me. Don't seem to understand the actions done and the reason behind it. In fact, don't seem to understand anything at all. From the happy Christmas mood to a emo Christmas mood, who's the only one who can change my mood such drastically. The answer's pretty known.

Sakae sushi at Changi Airport T2 with Liang Yi, Ms Xinyi, Ms Gem and Mr Shunjie. Late dinner/supper yesterday night was AWESOME. Enjoyed myself last night with the laughter, the plates of side orders, sushi and temaki. Missed them a lot and it was nice meeting up with them last night. Gift exchange of Body Shop presents, tie and tie pin and Zinc bag. And they liked my presents so it was a relief for me. Still waiting for Liang Yi to open his. Haha. It wasn't anything special but it was the thought that counts. Received my 1st Christmas present from them too. A pretty star pendant and earrings. And soon, the pendant will be around my neck! (: Didn't bring my camera in the end to capture these lovely memories. But it's ok. These memories are kept in my heart. Looking forward to 31 Dec now. Countdown to 2011 with them and I'm sure it's gonna be lots of fun as well! :D

At some point you will realise that you have done too much for someone, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It's not like you're giving up, and it's not like you shouldn't try. It's just that you just have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours will eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

Maybe this is what I'm doing now. Neither giving up nor not giving up. Maybe I've done too much and I should stop and walk out of everything. Cause like the quote, what is truly yours will eventually be yours, no matter how long it takes. But if it isn't meant to be, then really, no matter how hard I try, it'll never be mine.

Throughout life, you will meet one person who is unlike any other. You could talk to this person for years and never get bored, you could tell them things and they won't judge you. This person is your soulmate, your best friend. Don't let them go.

Felt this way before. Felt that you could be the one. We used to talk about anything and everything. But silence now lies between us most of the time. Miss the past. But what's gone has gone. What's left is only memories. Memories that no one can take it away from us. While these memories are important to me, I hope they're important to you too.

On a side note, end of 1st month. Tomorrow is the start of the 2nd month. December's just going to be more hectic, more busy with colleagues going on leave etc. Work is starting to pile with so many things to attend to. Only worry is that I'm too careless in my work and make stupid mistakes. Only worry is that I won't be able to perform as well as I'm supposed to.

Car rides that ended up driving in circles, dinner at White Sands, laughter and jokes we shared all sum up to 1 word: AWESOME! Sunday evening / night was totally great with the company of Wendy, Liang Yi, Shi Qi and Ke Yuan. This weekend is the best weekend I've ever had since I started work. And the fun we had yesterday is definitely leaving a smile on my face for at least today! (:

Glad that there's a break this week. Somehow I really need this break despite last week was the only week so far that I worked for 5 days. That's why I say I've come to appreciate the weekends and public holidays even more now.

Edited.

End of 1st week. Colleagues pretty nice and friendly. Getting on well with them, I can say. Tired is also for sure. Still getting used to habits and routine. But 1 thing is that it's not as boring as what I think, even though it's reading, reading and more reading for now. But I'm gradually getting to handle work with help given by my colleagues. So guess things will definitely get better as the days go by. And just in 4 days, I've gone for a learning journey with colleagues and enjoyed myself much! (:
-
So looking forward to Saturday. Clique 2.2 gathering, that's it! Totally keep me going and even though I may not meet all but yeah, it's still worth a trip. (:

Question: single? Answer to her: half-half. More than friends but not a couple yet was my answer to her. That's the feeling I get. But still taking things easy. Maybe Christmas 2010 would change some things for us. Mass, lunch with relatives and family or simply dinner with family still remains unknown. Not sure if this is what I want from you. Well, at least unsure for now. But yeah, I'm happy with status quo even though thoughts of giving up said hi in my mind. So we'll just see how things go cause I still believe, if we're meant to be then no matter how long or what happens, we'll still end up together cause we're meant to be. (:
-
till then;

A new beginning tomorrow. A new working environment. New colleagues. Definitely looking forward to it cause this was something I chose. But hopefully everything goes well. (: But of course, this would lead me to make another decision with regards to the familiar environment.

-

Maybe I'm tired. Emotionally tired. Or maybe cause being sick causes me to be emo and think this way. But the thought of giving up crossed my mind and this time, it seemed firm to me. But could this be the first or the second? Is this for real? I simply have no explanation for it now. Cold war? Fights? Did we? No, we didn't. But maybe this weekend, I just don't really have the mood or don't really want to see him. Yet now what's coming across my mind is did she ask him that too? The answer to it is still a question.

-

Contradictory, yes it may be. But this time round, no matter how tough it'll be or how difficult this new journey will be, I'll hang in there cause I know I'm not alone. My other friends are experiencing the same thing too. And at the same time, we're fighting together. You for the nation, me for this new journey that's lying ahead of me.

I'm imperfect. So are you. But when 2 imperfect individuals come together as one, that's when their strengths and weaknesses complement each other and they become PERFECT in the eyes of each other. And that's what I wish for the both of us as well. (:

Simple yet memorable. Just 3 simple words to describe my birthday this year. This year was different than the other years. The simple birthday message from you made me smile, made me super happy cause it was the 1st birthday message received in the first few minutes of 24 August. And what made it even more special and memorable was that I spent it with you. Just you alone is enough to make me smile from the heart. (:

till then;

A new beginning to a new start. Hard work and effort went in to get results. Results shown. A new position. Us all on the same level. Our efforts paid off with such results. This August, it's all about hard work and effort again. But success doesn't come on its own. Success comes with teamwork. And that's what we're all fighting together for, to be successful.
-
1 of the few birthday wishes I have has come true. What about that 1 simple wish of mine, coming along with all that I did? Will it be fulfilled as well? It all depends on an individual's choice.

Fears overcome, challenged myself. Feeling good and proud of myself, even though it wasn't perfect and mistakes made. But one thing for sure, it was a great experience and I did learn a lot. (:

-

Smooth sailing, I thought it was, even while the conversation was going on. Bt that sentence proved me wrong, even though I hope it wasn't what I was thinking. And all my smiles and happy feelings disappeared from my face. All thanks to that sentence.

Tummy upset again. But dinner was great. Now, I'm making a point to have dinner with my family every weekend. And this evening, we received good news. Everyone at home is promoted to a new calling with the birth of a baby girl called matilda into the family. (:
-
Packed till I'm finding it hard to breathe even before tomorrow comes. Full of appointments from morning till night. It'll definitely be a long day tomorrow for me. With the end of the week the last day to get promoted in order to receive badge this June, this week is gonna be stressed. Not only for me, but also for him. But we're motivating each other, working hard together and I know we'll pull through this week, no matter what outcome it'll be. (:

I have to admit that my view changed just within these few weeks, especially after Sunday's HOR Grouping and I learnt to relate a simple daily action to what I'm doing. The concept of a new food stall. And I guess that will be something I will and can use to explain to my clients what this industry is all about.

I've had enough of you questioning me. It's common sense that I'm working, that I'm going to the office everyday. Tell me that you're concerned. Fine. But I can't sense that you're being concerned. If you are concerned, you would try to go down to the office to understand more about the company and what I'm doing rather than question me. Tell you I got a small promotion. Yet while everyone can be happy for me, I can't say the same for you. All you said in reply last week was 'So does that mean you get a stable income?' And asking me about the blueblacks on my hand. Again, all I sense is that you are questioning your daughter. You sounded like I got the marks because of the magnetic bracelet that I was wearing and not because of any other reasons. You questioned when I said the truth. How do you want me to feel? I felt that at the age of 19 going to 20, I don't have the trust of my mum. It's not like I don't know what I'm doing. It's not like I don't know whether I got the marks because of the bracelet. I know. But why can't you just trust me? Even if you don't trust the company I'm with, shouldn't you at least trust in me? Trust the outside world but what about those that have tried and succeeded? Are all these lies? If so, don't bother trusting me anymore. Cause I've tried and succeeded in getting promoted and will continue to work harder to achieve what I want to achieve in this company, even if it gets real tough.

till then;

My dreams, my interests, my passion. I'll still go for it, pursue them. But why can't they see that even if it's a part-time job, I'm taking it seriously. I'm only asking for one simple thing - their support. Why can't they just give me their support and quit being a wet blanket? Why can't they try to accept the fact that the chances of me getting into NIE is super low now? Just who are they trying to deceive? Me or themselves? Cos I've accepted the fact that the application was unsuccessful but it doesn't mean I've given up on my dreams, my interests and my passion. Cos I'll never give up on teaching.

'Turn down all appointments this week and go in and teach if the school calls" - that's what she told me. Then I ask myself, what if the school doesn't call? Then I'm wasting my time at home when if I can be out there, going for appointments. At least there's the possibility that I can close deals and earn that money, even if it's a teeny weeny bit. Why can't they try to put themselves in my shoes and think, and understand that some things aren't as easy or simple as they say it is. Maybe they're the ones who have to accept the fact that I've grown up, that I know what I want and stop deceiving themselves instead.

22 Mar to 25 Mar 2010 - Penang Trip with Clique 2.2;

Back from Penang yesterday evening. Had total fun and did quite a bit of shopping there till the luggage was full to the max! But I missed home and my dear friends who couldn't join us. But still, it was totally awesome and I enjoyed myself. More trips next time with the clique! More photos on FB. Next up - Taiwan trip and it's gonna be even more shopping and even more fun! (:

26th Feb 2010 - Celebration of Learning;
Celebration of Learning marked the end of our learning journey of 3 years at TP. Some may feel that these 3 years have passed slow while others may feel it passed fast. Some may have many happy memories, some many sad memories while others a mixture of both. For me, I feel I belong to the third category of both happy and sad memories. These memories stay with us as we leave TP. These memories stay with us from the day they were created to the time we depart from this world. The end of this journey marks the start of another and friendships made will stay and be stronger. One thing I know for sure is that, I'll definitely miss the times I had at TP, be it projects, lectures or tutorials. And for friendships I've made and treasured over the 3 years, I'll definitely remember each and every one of you and continue to keep our friendship going. (:
