1st post in 2012

7 years since my last blog. to recap 2011.. it was a busy year with studies assignment. juggling with work and examinations.

2011 has just ended 50 mins ago. It was a year which I witness a few of my good frens settling down and having their house ready. Also for me personally, panda n i committed to a matrimonial asset followed by a little diamond ring from him. Also in 2011 I had my promotion and my share of agony at work. come 2012, hopefully I would be happier in my job and find a nicer boss with better pay and environment.
to end the 2011, i was happy to be the jie mei of my friends, completed my part time studies with Kaplan, committed with more disciplined savings to see it grow. Towards the end of the year Oct, also started a jogging regime with Panda at Bedok reservoir my haunt for morning jogs.This year also marks a year staying in Pasir Ris, waking up earlier and used to the longer ride back home from town. Things seem to be flowing somewhat the way I planned .come 2012, the emphasis would be on career, switch from the entry level to some thing specialised. More time to spend with lau pei as he shows signs of ageing and dementia when he deciphers things more slowly.
and since next year would be my wedding year.. i hope to spend more time with my family and my dad while i m still staying in Pasir Ris.. while i got time lim kopi with dad..n try to acc him as often as i could.
also if i got pay rise in my next job. hope can give him more pocket $$$ and also save more $$ to build on my house.

qw

Strategic business research pending grade..
Service marketing.. pending.. released by 17092011.. another 5 hrs of waiting..
my stomach is growling.. n i m telling my brain that although i am 80% unreplenished for supper earlier @ G7 frog porridge store at lor 3 geylang..
A few milestone since my last updates.
6 months since 31 Mar.. today's 17 Sept 2011.. i am just so close to completion my marketing degree which i been harping for since 2003.. 8 yrs.. just 2 months away from it.. n every day continues to be a challenge to juggle so many things happening in my life now..so far grades was fine.. for the past 4 units.. which was halfway past. i remember i was so scared that i would fail n waste my $2996 course fee on 3 months ago..
today i face the same type of feat although i bear a certain confidence in myself..
updates since mar.. promoted to senior RE in DP group.. holding on to top tier package plan for platinum,telco & casino port for both macau,aust & sg..
cover the maternity lady and manage to juggle sch work fairly well.. decent grades.
fixed my wedding date to be 29 September 2013 which is about 24 months from today..
got my proposal ring from Panda bui bui in July 2011..
2011 & 2012 I will see my jie mei men all getting hitched while I remain still "single" while the rest become Mrs XXXXXX... n plus i get to collect 2 more years of ang bao and enjoy being served at home with soup...
the next task is to quality the guest list RSVP.. my least favourite task of wedding planning..
Now that the guan yin has given the theme of low profile wedding. its good for me as both Panda & i have a tight budget... everything item is a cost and sunk expenses. the process of planning this lifetime event is stressful .exciting and mentally, financially draining & fascinating..
From a young gal to a wife.. would be the my next transition stage n as much as i detest this change, it is like the natural process for a belonging and another identity to our relationship from stranger to man & wife
try as i might, the idea of setting up a family n home is so foriegn n things are as bleary and the route ahead is just so blurry with no clear direction.
With the help of modern technology like singapore brides reviews , we seen more testimonials and experiences of other people going through this route and here i m now hating the mafan part but also proud that i make this very decision to settle down with someone i know is worth all this while.
Both Panda & I signed the agreement lease to our very own matrimonial asset. A 112 sq ft in Parkview and it would be my home in 2014. Yes forsee more bickers, quarrels, disagreements, fights and arguments. which couple doesnt quarrel.. n it would also be home to our kids . little panda n pork chop juniors.
N i got to leave the radar screen of chwee poh and my hounding bossy brothers who boss their kid sister around.
I would make use of this time to self practise my profound existing EQ skills to collaborate well with Panda as well as to build strong bonding with my future mother and bro in law who i call them my family in existing to my own clan.
Things which i know my weakness needs to be brushen up like stubbornness. wilfulness and ego which need to be further refined. n my ability to see things more broadbased and more tolerance to dumb nosy n insensitive ppl are some areas of concern in terms of my style of communication.
after all we are all but different n would need to learn to live together in harmony till we part. n this is part of the vow signed for aint it. N this is the ties which all couples commonly share to build a family, in the name of love, while love aint tat enough. n how to fall in love with the same bui kia over n over again.. lovey doey doesnt last a life time.. having common goals does n the level of commitment should not have the law of diminishing return.. hahah as wat i remember wat my econs lecturer quoted. love should b enduring, n it should stand periods of down sides for the good & bad times. n with this in mind, builds a strong foundation for a loving cultured family.

Amidst the wedding plan and the process, on this very day i tend to miss my late mum .. hw did i get pass this 17 yrs with my years of schooling.. my fears, my anxiety and my worries.

n 26 nov 2009.. we shared our love and it is blossomed till current with all our little housing commitments and planning going on . I wish sometimes I had more of mum's past memories n its a shame on how little memories i could rely on. Mum was a jovial lady who is always friendly and generous with the ppl she met, n she had a gd network. I must have been truly blessed to inherit her sales genes and manage with my "hao suang" character to land up with Panda..
In 2 yrs time, my salutation would be revised n my late nite drinking sessions with my lim qiu khaki would then revise to late nite feeding sessions.. Its horrifying, dictative and directives to be virtuous, caring and supportive role of what wives ought to be. Perhaps its time to revise the ruling that since now women could bring bread on the table, isnt it also fair to raise standards for modern, contemporary husbands, new age penguin dads to behave, and contribute their fair share to the home which would make wives' task less daunting, routine and manipulative as to the term of supermums termed as..
Men should also exercise some efforts and care to ensure the marriage works for both with constructive feedback , actions plans to be carried out consistently to maintain a healthy, loving relationship as Man n wife.
n concurrently, a almost finished degree, a rewarding career with lotsa $, a healthy body to procreate n produce kids , juniors, a systematic plan to carry out and follow up on for a happy, simple and unforgetable low profile wedding. next would be a cozy home with reasonable furnishing and renovation, accompanying a cute little car to carry all the Panda family in a lovely home in Hougang... a place i call it home ...
its perhaps rather simplistics.. n the short medium goals is to lose 15-20kg by May 2013.. n perhaps 10kg by 2012 Dec n hopefully by my 29th birthday i m halfway complete with it.. n before my 30th birthday.. i m a proud wife n bride to be 2013...

Rampant spree in watson.. sasha n 2 nites of jap food.

Its been a month since i last wrote.. been busy rushing.. rushing.. and more rushing everyday.. day in and out.. just settled in 1 hr ago.. with about 1 hr travelling from bugis to tampines n then loyang ave.
good news is I been promoted.. to senior .. within 1 year and 4 months with DPI..
next best months for the month of April.. bonus month..
and following come would be increment..

Tml auntie may is going for surgery

tml is Auntie May's surgery
i suppose. shes worried. n i m afraid if we can cope well too without Auntie Vk in the house helping out. another week for week 1 for product management n market research methods starts again,
Panda applied for bto again. tis time in sengkang fernvale flora or fernvale garden, so high chance that I may be neighbours with Mdm Lim.

We had a fruitful fb conversation catch up during my exam week. seems like ages since i catch up with her.

Well i m still a little angry that ppl ask me how much iearn for a living which is sensitive.
CIMB is hiring.. well if i finish the degree. maybe its worth the hop.

成功的人生十句話

第一句："人都是逼出來的"。

每個人都是有潛能的，生於安樂，死於憂患，所以，當面對壓力的時候，不要焦燥，也許這只是生活對你的一點小考驗，相信自己，一切都能處理好，逼急了好漢可以上梁山，時世造英雄，窮則變，變則靈，人有了壓力才會有動力。





第二句："如果你簡單，這個世界就對你簡單"。

簡單生活才能幸福生活，人要知足常樂，寬容大度，什麼事情都不能想繁雜，心靈的負荷重了，就會怨天尤人。要定期的對記憶進行一次刪除，把不愉快的人和事從記憶中擯棄，人生苦短，財富地位都是附加的，生不帶來死不帶去，簡簡單單的生活就是快快樂樂的生活。





第三句："人生沒有彩排，每一天都是現場直播"。

偶爾會想，如果人生真如一場電子遊戲，玩壞了可以選擇重來，生活會變成什麼樣子？正因為時光流逝一去不復返，每一天都不可追回，所以更要珍惜每一寸光陰，孝敬父母、疼愛孩子、體貼愛人、善待朋友。





第四句："懷才就像懷孕，時間久了會讓人看出來"。

人，切莫自以為是，地球離開了誰都會轉，古往今來，恃才傲物的人都沒有好下場。所以，即便再能幹，也一定要保持謙虛謹慎，做好自己的事情，是金子總會發光。





第五句："過去酒逢知己千杯少，現在酒逢千杯知己少"。

不勝酒力，體會不了酒的美味，但卻能感受知己的妙處。沒有朋友的人生是孤獨的，不完整的，可是，因為生活的忙碌，漸漸少了聯絡，友誼就變的淡了，所以，抽點時間，聯絡朋友一起聊聊天，讓情誼在笑聲中升騰，當朋友遇到了難題的時候，一定要記得挺身而出，即便幫不了忙，安慰也是最大的支持。





第六句："人生如果錯了方向，停止就是進步"。

人，總是很難改正自己的缺點，人，也總是很難發現自己的錯誤，有時，明知錯了，卻欲罷不能，一錯再錯，把握正確的方向，堅守自己的原則，世界上的誘惑很多，天上永遠不會掉餡餅，不要因為貪圖一時的快樂而付出慘痛的代價，如果發現錯了，一定要止步。





第七句："人生兩大悲劇：一是萬念俱灰，一是躊躇滿志"。

現代的人好像特別脆弱，報紙上天天報導眾多名人得抑鬱症，這些人一定是從一個極端走向別一個極端。正因為躊躇滿志，才堅信自己是完美的，是無所不能的，如果受到一點挫折，就會變得極度自卑，甚至失去繼續生活的勇氣。為自己找一個準確的定位，享受生活樂趣。





第八句："人生和愛情一樣，錯過了愛情就錯過了人生"。

愛情是什麼？讓人無所適從，讓人神魂顛倒，面對愛情的時候，勇敢一點，大膽說出自己的愛。人，總會生老病死，怎麼過都是一生，錯過了愛情就錯過了生命的精彩。





第九句："天下有錢人終成眷屬"。

現代社會的人變得越來越勢利，愛情也越來越無足輕重，於是我不得不相信"天下有錢人終成眷屬"就對現代愛情的最確切的描述。





第十句："要成功，需要朋友，要取得巨大的成功，需要敵人"。

有競爭才有發展，因為有了敵人的存在，因為有了不服輸的決心，才會努力的做好自己的事，所以，有時候，敵人比朋友的力量更大，天下沒有永遠的敵人，卻有永遠的朋友，有些時候，敵人也可以變成朋友。

actually wanting to settle n the process of settling can be so frustrating

at times. i wonder . its frustrating to find someone worth settling down n when i do come across. it seems that there are so many obstacles to do it too.
Tat old woman gives me some dirty look. ask me sensitive questions like hw much i earn every month which i tink is equally insensitive. my own dad dun even ask me how much i earn.
so i been thinking
do i want to get married becoz i tink i should
hes the right one.
or i just need a house
or its just the age
had tis suggestion from a fren that perhaps i should just share a house with dad.. to act as a backup plan . stop those ppl frm eyeing old man's assets.
well all these acts as catalyst or its the underlying reasons or the norm of a lady whos approaching 30 in 2 yrs..

just nw dad n bro argue over the fact that my niece was taking her own sweet time to prepare for art class due at 3.45pm where shes still in the bathroom combing hair at 3.30pm. there was an earlier debate with dad n bro.. well common. 2 astro clashes.

before i knew it. i just hide int he kitchen with the maid.. auntie vk n focus on frying batang fishes.

if marriage is such a complex issue between 2 famiies. then i should nt just go for the diamond and forsake my own happiness.
issit really worth it for a family.
i really doubt so now.
i wonder if hes the kind that i can entrust myself with or he would just continue to be a tyrant n side with his mum no matter wat happens.

Hehehe relac for 2 weeks before next sem mar 10-13 & mar 17-20

the international marketing paper is tough .. nt many of the tips came out. a lot was common sense.

I was re-evaluating my choices again n again at my old house

Originally I got my own room n toilet n I can sleep peacefully Nw I dun . No doubt I give lesser allowance but I lost all my freedom tat I used to have which dun benefit me at all . If u were me can u still b happy as before for my stand of view.. things I watapp Panda.. I got a choice one . but my choice is compromised 4 other ppl 's interest.. During the nites nt sleeping in Loyang no doubt I got no fan just a sofa for bed I was so much happier
Dread e day I got to go back to someone's else place n c his face color to live . Panda still got the cheek to bargain diamond size w me.. Tat 死肥子！I complain his fren diff frm mine, coz tat guy is rich so she would stick w him. I m taking a huge stake anyway ,either I gain a marriage or lose a family .. Or continue to suffer in Loyang

Wrote complimentary letter to bus 3 driver Mr Lau Teck Huat 8571S

Had he not help me to hand it promptly to the interchange officer, i might have lost my important text book on the bus on 15 Feb 2011.. due for exam preparation this sat.. so grateful to Mr Lau Teck Huat bus 8571S & Mr Goh frm Tampines interchange.. wrote them a complimentary letter to SBS transit to comment on their exceptional service...

after the catch up w tb.

well.. everything happens for a reason.
solutions and back up plan has been put aside .. The domestic issues has been bugging me for a while so while i revise, it has been toiling me. Marriage to me means nothing more to get out of the house. which ever it is . I hope when Dad's $ is depleted after "helping" e others . he wouldnt be thrown ard like a ball n thats the fearful factor which i hope it would not happen.
very soon Geylang Babru blk 96 would be history and the veri table i m sitting at now would be discarded and the original house would most likely be cosmetic renovated by the indian spr buyer.
till this day my Dad still holds some trump card.. part of the reason, A.may refuse to let my dad touch his profits to support my studies. which i tink i would just let it be .
After all i would set up my family ..get my own house n commitment.
If one day the $ gets spilted n due to the bad blood between bro 1 n 2.. that leaves me w bro 3 n joanna n so be it ..
I have foreseen the circumstances .. & i would be mentally strong to accept it ..Everyone thinks for themselves. The value of kinship is veri small to me now.
If one day I should be homeless , i believe there would also be other people there to lend me a hand. people like Joanna who s willing to take me in..
wataspp bro 3 from kuching n he thinks i tink too much.. But then realistically its happening... bro 3 even mentioned he finds its a constraint w 2 kids 1 maid car n house to support. n bro 2 has higher commitments than that. so w me out of the picture. i guess it just relieve him some of the burden.. before our relationship turn sour n we refuse to talk to each other in the house. i rather it maintains like a weekend sibling affair.. coz i dun want to argue or fight unnecessarily due to our differences. 10 yrs ago we had issues staying together.. now come 2011 10 yrs later. we still have issues irreconcilable differences. Its mentally challenging to wake up at 6.45 in the morning to travel that long, n after a long day to face domestic issues at home.. my own port of clientele gives me considerable amount of stress as well as assignments. if family oso is a source of issues, i wonder how long i can gain my cool in the wooden house.
eventually when the $ is depleted. i believe the true colors of the true self will eventually emerge n those involved just becomes another cost element in the picture so before it becomes into this kind of situation, its then better to make some precautions. I m merely protecting myself. n by not just rushing into marriage or thinking that marriage solves such issues could possible salvage the situation. What i m thinking of now is bro 2 needs $ n dad 's $ came just like a contingency plan just in case tings crops up like either of them unemployed or simply no one to fetch the kids. so with me around a not , its secondary. and the reason y i m relocated is just because i tag along coz i m homeless in fact. N i dun think i m pitiful, while bro 3 comments my plight is.. I tell myself. this 9 months it would be over soon. n veri soon i would climb my way up n see the light after the tunnel n those who have scorned me or give me the wet bucket would jolly well c w their own eyes hw i will succeed and get this bloody cert. n with my own capability , i would stand strong and overcome the current obstacles n stand on my own feet without despising or demeaning my own confidence. bro 2 is riding the fact that i have not much choice due to my study commitment, n the veri fact i wont settle just to settle. what other people are doing may be just doing the flow or wats best thing for them now. $ will be my driving factor n it would be my motivation to pay off the $11,984 loan from RHB. it would be the determining factor to result in my future failure or success.
I hope that my domestic affairs would not affect my academic or work performance although i know i m disappointed by some of the prevalent events which prove me just right. Some things cannot be pushed. it would happen while there are some events which are within my control .
whatever it is . i hope for the best.
always a optimistic person at heart.
if only mum was around, perhaps things would be much different from now. unfortunately things dun happen your way all the time. no wrong to have some of the nonsense event n some adversity. it just toughens me more. n more time to belittle or to despair only more time to look forward. n when i did it. it will prove that i done it. n i can give myself some credit to it... 0056 18022011. 1 day to LM305 n 2 days to LM 200 international marketing n marketing behavior.. at least a credit... nt a pass to justify $2996 per sem.. inclusive of gst..

元宵节快乐 to me.. Happy new year in my old house.

Tonite's dinner was red stove hockien mee which I have been craving for 1 mth..
unfortunately the old house does not have a fan but thats fine becoz its my house n nt someone's house no creaking wood sound.. n everything I do here is paid by myself. no need to see people color face... n although these few days got to sleep on sofa i oso feel quite happy finally.. got some peace n quiet in the house.. later i m meeting tb.. i need to c some old frens.. before my sanity gets looser n i turn into a green eye monster for being such a terror.. wahhahahha

Back to old house @ gb from 17-21 bi guan for exam

hahaha i m so fucking happy to be back at home my real home.. n o one to disturb me.. 2 toilets all serve for me.. no need to walk 10 min for food.. n best can watch tv until cows come home. sleep everywhere anywhere.. e luxury is limited till latest Apr 12.. anyway my lifestyle in loyang is like a tenant anyway.. wahahahhaha.. go back tostudy... smoke whole day oso no one care... even better than sex.. although e cab fare back cost me $12 i thought it was well spent... definitely..

Hope e not so good day of e curse ended

When I thought my day of errand ended.. My textbook was missing must b becoz I was too tired b grouchy . First instinct call 100 to check pasir ris interchange followed by tampines , Mr Goh was kind enough to n e driver who passed to him I must really thank him
Mr Lau Teck Huat bus 3 8571s the feedback w me perhaps I would drop him e feedback form. Total cab fare for yesterday on e few trips abt $40 each $10-$15 avg frm Panda 's place to mine coz it's 45 min bus ride n kallang to pasir ris $13 off peak peak period frm town back home avg $25 .. Damn bloody heart pain. Shld have eat restaurant or go shopping . So to avoid much conflictual effect I decide to stay outside to revise for e next 2 days as yy . Rena n baby Corliss are really distracting n noisy.. Koon commented he didnt expect my condition to b e same as of a tenant except fact I pay 60% lower a room in pasir ris is $600 n I m just paying $200 no wonder my landlord is "concerned of e utility bill" even toilet paper black rat aka stingy bugger bro 2 had to comment veri fast use finish .. Feel like telling them no need cook my share if toilet paper is oso an issue. last nite I was complaining to Panda n Tb tat it is so regretful Blk 96 is sold can only suck thumb play dumb till degree finish less stress tuition fee loan settled. lucky Rhb Alex did not insist I go down to Cecil street to change address .. I love iPhone just take pic forward n hard copy to him. I m so looking forward
Today ends n if possible feel like going old home to revise n nap
. Miss my days of sleeping without noise n disturbance
n my unlimited usage of my tv . occasionally throwing my underwear ard n nt subject to seeing other pp.'s faces at home . Even if I rent room outside oso nt so difficult
