Back from my family taipei trip since early this wk. The whole family is down with flu (coughing, sore throat n running nose) n i'm the onli one immune to it! BUT... i've developed cold sores on my lower lip... sigh... super sianz lorz.... it's ugly n it looks disgusting!!! haiz.... oh well... been to the doctor n took some cream from him for the sores...
On a sidenote, my right ear which has been blocking ever so frequently lately has finally been syringed!! hahaha~ i'm sooo overjoyed!! cos previously when it was always blocked, it was ralli frustrating!! it has been like this for more than 6 mths n when i finally went to see the doc n got a "checkup" for my right ear, it was discovered tt there was a big block of ear wax which was blocking a large part of my right ear... which is the reason y it was always blocked even when a little bit of water got inside... arghz!! perhaps the wax has been there for a reallly really really long time such that when after my doc syringed the wax out, i suddenly felt a bit giddy.. hehe~ tink it was cos it has been there for sooo long n now tt it's out, the "balancing system" in my ear cudnt adjust in time... wow!! i've never experienced a clearer hearing system man! hehehe~ wat a relief!!
it's been a month since i left DOS n i'm now trying to set up my own blog shop on LJ to sell some costume jewellery. When it's ready, i'll definitely publicise the url... I'm learning to do some beading as well so tt i can create my own costume jewellery in time to come.. hehe~
have decided to put my genuine jewellery biz idea on hold for the time being as i've yet to know how to get there... hehe~ will be doing my small scale blogshop 1st while doing some diamond referrals/broking for my dad... so if any of u is looking for a gd n reliable diamond seller/jeweller, i wud b more than happy to refer u to my dad... he does custom-made jewellery as well so if any of u need, can still refer u to my dad... =)
i juz clinched my 1st diamond referral deal for my dad... hehe~ my long time fren, andy lim, was looking for a diamond ring for his gf n i referred him to my dad.. Cheers to my 1st deal! =P May more deals follow~
Gonna start the pbl course at rp from next mon onwards liao n this marks the end of my 1 mth holiday officially... It's really gonna be an adventure ahead!

09:02 am - Sending the old life away and embracing a new fresh start ahead~
Yay! it's final! i'm tendered n my last day will be next wed (10 Feb 2010)! y so early? cos instead of the 1 mth's notice i'm supposed to give, in the end i'll juz end on the day of my contract expiration, which is on 22 feb (cos i started on 23 feb 2009 exactly 1 yr ago)! oh welll, all the best to my boss who tinks all is well n tt my colleagues can take over everything. he was the one who gave HR the go-ahead to let me leave on my contract expiration date instead of the 1 mth notice thingy. cos if i were to go on 1 mth notice, HR wud still need to issue a new contract to extend my stay for 2 wks.. hehe~ oh well... since he wanted to b the Mr nice guy n the 'Yes' man to HR and his boss, let him be lorz. he will hav to bear the consequences...
Oh well, so i'm counting down to my last days here, in this office.. leading a brand new exciting life ahead where i've decided to depend on the grace of God everyday of my life. being where i am currently, i feel that the office environment has become so secular tt i dun even dare mention abt God... (well, the thing abt them wanting to create a secular space where religions r a shunned topic as we hav colleagues frm all race n religions)... so well, hopefully frm now onwards, i can juz follow the prompting of the Holy spirit in all i do n b rested in wat God has in store for me....=)
so i'll be having a break for at least the next 2 mths! yay!! shall take a break 1st till after cny before i start my plans... so if anyone wanna go out after cny (yes bing, i'm talking abt u), please jio me!! =)
I've been working hard for the past 1.5 mths having classes n working n finally, i'm going to take a break to replenish the energy exhausted during this time... yay yay yay!!
on a side note, my car is finally coming!!! got our COE juz 2 days ago, shld hav the car reg done next wk n shld b able to collect our car before cny! double the happiness! =D

Pets come and go, just as people come and go in our lives. That's juz life. everyone's juz passing through the planet that we call "Earth" and our home..
Mel has left us on 20 Nov 2009. It's been 2+ mths but the feeling of missing him never stops and never ceases. It's juz that feeling of emptiness from his presence that dwells in the house despite his physical presence no longer being there.
My bro came back for his hols end of last nov and just 2 days ago, we sent him off back to Australia for his 3rd year at medical school. That feeling of "lacking someone/something" came back into our little humble house. Even though he wasnt at home 24 hrs of the time while he's here, but the ambience of the house is just different from the time when he was here. The house just felt that it was lacking someone once again. I guess that it is in such times when you really learn to appreciate the presence of someone or something in your lives. As the saying goes, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"... I guess this is wat it really means....=)

Hectic yet exciting activities after work almost everday... tired n stressful, yes but nonetheless enjoying it everyday... =)

10:30 am - Weird place...
The work place is a funny place and I still fail to understand their logic of doing things despite being here for for a gd 9+months...
I do not understand y the management want us to put up christmas trees n deco when they tell us at the same time that we should be careful not to use the word "Christmas" too much and not to put the word "christmas" too prominently... isnt christmas all about celebrating the birth of christ and hence the hope of eternal life?? but here pple want to "celebrate" christmas without mentioning christmas... isn't it pretty self-conflicting?? they sure are a weird bunch of nerds...
y do i always find the things they do so nonsensical and such a paradox?! weird place with weird pple with weird thinking...

09:33 am - Nursing a broken heart...
It's been a horrible and most depressing wkend... Melmel left us last friday 20 Nov 09 as a result of a stroke caused by old age and life has never been the same again.. none of us could get used to his absence, including his "arch enemy" yoyo...
everywhere i turned to in the house reminded me of him and when my eyes landed on wat used to be his favourite spots, i cant help but rem his usual looks if he was still around... my eyes would search desperately in the house too for wat used to belong to him, like his food bowl, the scoop which used to be his drinking bowl...
I might never get another dog again.. the pain is too excruciating... hav always thot that i was prepared for his death someday cos he's realli getting very old and frail by the day but hav never thot that it wud b so sudden. juz the previous night, he was able to climb up the stairs on his own n the next morn, he cudnt even stand up anymore and the onset of the effect of his stroke juz set in so swiftly that within less than 6 hrs, he was gone..
even before the euthanasia was administered, he was already "semi-gone" and wasnt even responding when i told him for the very last time, "mel, jiejie loves u"...
wat a tragic end to a dog who was once all so lively and energetic n strong n healthy... gosh.. i tink i cannot handle this again.... no more pets!

11:56 am - I do not like....
I do not like "light rain" because it catches me in a dilemma of not knowing if i shld take the trouble to open up my umbrella (not to mention the drying of umbrella den folding it back later)...
I do not like a computer system that is NOT meant to be with links which lead to nowhere and don't effectively perform any functions..
I do not like pple who loves to talk but expects others to do wat they promised...
I do not like pple who tinks everything is so easy n can be performed with a click of a button but still expects u to do the work for them...
I do not like pple who calls u up at 8.20am in the morning to tell you that they need something by 9am and expects u to rush out the thing for them.. they simply have no idea how much it entails to get the things they want...
I do not like when situation arises for 2 pple to cover another person's work but the covering responsibility is eventually all in only 1 person's lap...
Where's the peace and joy which I meant to seek with the move man?!

02:58 pm - To quote, "Midst of ressurection"...=P
Hmm... after reading several longtime frens' recent LJ entries, have decided to say a thing or two here as well.
It has been ages n years since i last posted. To be honest, I cant even rem how long ago my last entry was... juz checked my previous entry and it was in january 2008. Title of entry? "Hey... I'm back"...
hehe~ wat an irony to my last LJ entry...
A complete changed life since my last entry... Got married, bought a house, changed jobs.. but 1 thing that has not changed... i'm still floating ard in life... Mayb it has to do with the fact that I'm a Gen Y kid as my mum has put it... Gen Y kids who have not gone thru poverty and seek relentlessly to seek perfection in their lives... So well, am still floating but relatively contented with life. The onli thing that i realli feel angsty about these days is probably just my work... but other than that, I'm loving life, my family, my hubby, my frens n even my dogs... =)
Wat a random blabbering entry... hehe~ Seeking to find a direction n purpose in life still amidst everything else..
feel that i hav become a person who's relatively immune to the happenings in life now.. no longer feel so much for watever i see or hear these days and hav become less emo about the things that leave me dumbfounded and completely not understand.. hav decided to juz leave things the way they are.. time will prove everyth n time will tell n time will heal.... =)
God has been gd and faithful to me, showing me that He realli does care in many little ways in life and i'm secured in the hope he gives alone. =) Cheers!
