Daisy
This week has been a pretty ok one for me coz I got to meet up with some friends and had fun.

I finally dragged my ass out of the house and office for once for some exercise. I went jogging with Tom on Wednesday after goodness knows how long. Yes, I'm really bad at it right now. I was panting after 1 round which was about 750m.. Started feeling so dead but forced myself to do another round so that I won't let myself down. After the 2 rounds, I was so tired that I totally refused to do stretching. Haha. I know.. I'm lousy but I'll definitely train up to be as good as I was in the past. Thought of taking part in the JP Morgan Chase Challenge on April 26, representing my company but I'm sure I won't be able to make it by then. So hopefully by the time Standard Chartered marathon is back, I'll be ready. Haha. Such high hopes for myself. I must be crazy. :p

Thursday (23/03), I had lunch with TC together with Ting, Chris, Agnes n Carissa. He's been having lunch and dinner appts with people he has known for the past 10 years that he's been in the company. Feels kinda sad that he's leaving.. Especially as the day draws closer. We had a great lunch, chatting n joking. But honestly, I'm wondering if I'll cry the day he leaves. Sighz.. After all, we've been really close for the whole year and I still remember we used to say this when Marina left, "Now it's only left the 2 of us". I'll never forget those days. :(

Anyway, I met up with Meng for dinner on Thursday night. The title for today's blog is actually dedicated to him coz he gave me a daisy when we met up. Thanx Meng! Appreciate the thought and the actions. :) Hehe. He really managed to cheer me up coz I left office in a fury but I don't want to say the reason why. He made me laugh the whole nite through so much so that he asked me if I ever laughed or smiled as much when I meet other guys. Haha. I really had fun catching up with him and just chilling out. Meng, we should do this more often. :p

Josh came up meet me on Friday for lunch as well as to settle my insurance stuff for me. Talked about former classmates and he updated me on the lives of quite a number of people. Nice to know of their news coz the whole group of us haven't really met up for some time. Hope to be able to meet up soon but it's always so difficult to get the whole group together as everybody is so busy and has their own lives. Sighz..

Had dinner with Joy, Chris, Ting, Agnes n Carissa on Friday nite. It was a nice girls' nite out though it was only dinner. We talked about things happening in office and stuff like that. Had dinner at Plaza Park Royal and the food was not bad but I couldn't eat much. Not sure why. Quite a waste coz it's a buffet so we paid a lot but didn't eat too much.

Went to Double O after dinner to celebrate Goldwin's bday. KK and I managed to catch up on stuff and it felt great talking to my best guy friend again. He took care of me that nite though he was slightly high that nite. Everybody was drinking like mad.. We had so many tequila shots and tequila pops. Marina, Justin n KK were high but the worst was Dylan (KK and Marina's colleague). Met Dylan a few times when we go clubbing and knew that he can't hold his liquer well but that nite was really bad. I felt guilty coz he was already high but yet claims that he was ok so I made him drink half a mug of Graveyard. The next moment was a blur as he simply stood there and vomitted. Sighz.. Felt guilty for bullying the poor guy. Mustn't be so naughty next time. ^_^

Promised my buddy to go MoS with him that nite but most of the people I was with at Double O left around 1+ and my buddy wasn't ready to go yet, I decided to head home as I was already feeling sleepy. Hadn't been getting enough rest and it was hectic at work that day. Sorry buddy!! Will go with u next time k? :)

Went to my sis's place to return her tapes slightly earlier just now and while in the car, Tom said that his dad only had 1 and a half years to finish the house loan. All the time, I have never intended to stay with my in-laws after marriage. To me, I've only had my freedom at the age of 22 onwards and I still wanna enjoy my youth and freedom. I know that I'm a workaholic when it comes to work but I also do enjoy playing hard. That makes me have the tendency to stay out late, be it due to work or play. I don't want to have this revoked in any way. Sighz..

I mean, I know it's nice to have someone take care of you while you are sick or in any other ways.. But honestly, I'm not sure I'm the kind of girl who can stay with in-laws or have elders staying with me. I respect them but I can't stand nagging of any form. I hate it when my dad does it to me so I'm not sure I can take it from other people. I don't mind staying near my in-laws in future and having dinner at their place every nite but not staying together. Maybe I'm still young.. Or maybe I'm just stubborn and unreasonable.

It's still too early for all these anyway. It's gonna be another couple of years before we will even talk about marriage.. So.. Let's see how things turn out by then. :p

Memorable Experience
2 weeks ago, I heard the news that another good friend in office was resigning. TC.. He's 1 of the older guys in office and I'm really close to him. We used to sit next to each other while we were still located on the 7th floor and he taught me so much! He always cheered me up and entertained me when I was angry and pissed off with work. There was a time when we were both approached to leave and join another company together but after serious considerations, the 2 of us decided to stay on here and we even made a pact that we will be working together for another year. Sighz.. But I guess he's really upset with work and I can understand why. I'm sad that he's leaving the company but he's found a job that pays much better than here.. So, I'm happy for him too. Just hope that everything works out for him at his new job and if it's really good, he's gotta bring me along! Haha.

Went to Double O to celebrate Felix's bday after work on Friday nite (17/03). We reached at 10pm and the place was already quite crowded. Had to stand around for a while til Ah Bee messaged me that she was outside and didn't wanna go in. I went out to chat with her. It was the 1st time that I really chatted with her and my god! We simply sat outside the club and chatted for 3 hours non-stop. Ken, Felix and Randall started messaging me if I was ever going back into the club and I totally ignored their messages. Felt the bond between Ah Bee and I that nite and I'm glad that she came coz I've got another close friend at work now. :)

Finally re-joined the group at 1am coz Ken came out to drag Ah Bee and I in but Ah Bee refused to join us as her gastric wasn't feeling too good. Told her to go home and rest while I went back to the club. Boy, I gotta admit that I'm either getting old or I haven't exercised for too long coz my legs ached from the dancing! Haha. By the time the nite ended, Felix was drunk again and most of the people were high. I was the only one who didn't drink at all. Haha.

I got pissed off by Randall's friend.. Can't even be bothered to know his name. He's such an attention seeker who use da fake accent and was full of vulgarities. So when the nite ended at 3 am and he was busy seeking attention from us (plus his voice was damn loud), I couldn't take much of his nonsense anymore. Ken was busy arranging transport and stuff for all of us while that guy was talking loudly for the 3rd time about his crap incident with the traffic police, I told Ken to leave that guy and Randall alone. They could do whatever they want and when that idiot told me to "Chill it manz", I replied with "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" That was the limit. I had to get him to shut his trap. ARGH!! He totally got on my nerves. Hope I won't see much of him anymore.

Anyway, I went to meet my buddy, Hus, after we ended at Double O. Went past Devils Bar and there was almost a gang fight right in front of the cops. Haha. 1st time I ever see stuff like this and it was interesting yet scary at the same time. :p It was crazy but the fight didn't happen which was lucky coz I wouldn't have known what to do then. My buddy met up with me and we headed to his work place for dessert coz I was starving!

The memorable experience happened then. We went to his work place to eat but his work place was in a shopping mall and the whole place was already closed at 4am! It was so cool to enter a totally empty and closed shopping mall and to have desserts at a restaurant/cafe that had only the 2 of us! It was amazing! The security guard walked past the cafe at abut 5am and stared at the 2 of us but didn't say anything. Haha. The experience was really wonderful and worth remembering coz I don't think many people would be able to try that.

So, big THANX to my buddy for a truly great experience that I know I'll remember for as long as I live coz it's definitely the 1st for me. And to Felix, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

To Meng, HAPPY BDAY to you too! Monday.. Tomorrow.. I know and I remember. Sorry I can't meet you and Shuang next Friday but hopefully u guys can change the date so that the 3 of us can meet up. It's been so long since I last met the 2 of u!! Really wanna meet u guys k?? Lemme know again. Thanx manz! N have a great bday with gf ya? :)

Don't feel good..
Somehow I don't feel too good.. I was telling Jeremy before I left office to read the minutes of meeting coz I took 2 hours to finish typing it and I think I said it too loudly.. My boss seemed to have heard it coz she sent me an email 3 minutes later, saying "Very good. Thanks". Seeing that email should make me happy but it also made me wonder if she overheard me. I mean, I didn't say that for her to thank me. I only wanted my department people to read the thing that I always spend so much time typing. Sighz.. Am I thinking too much?? I wonder...

Anyway, work has been heavy these days. Quite a number of deadlines to meet by next week. I worked til 10pm last nite coz I didn't understand what my boss was saying earlier. She explained really hard to me and got a little fed up that I couldn't understand. She said that she will search for the thing herself. I felt a bit bad coz I wasn't able to help so I decided to try my luck to search for the stuff and hope that I was doing it correctly this time. It took me 2 hours to find the dumb entries posted into the system and I was really unsure. Printed out whatever I could find and gave them to her this morning. Amazingly, I did the right thing and managed to solve her problem! I felt really happy and pleased with myself. At least my hardwork paid off and I did the right thing. :)

However, I also realised that there are hypocrites and two-headed snakes in my office. I've always felt that investment side was better than private side as there are not as many people and there are less politics. Guess I was wrong. I mean, of coz we have less backstabbers here than private side but there are still such people around. Sighz.. Suddenly everybody on my department is on their guard and are wary of who to befriend and what can be told to some people but not to others. It's tiring to have to be on your guard all the time. I seldom talk to some of them anyway so it doesn't really concern me. I'll just continue sticking with the usual people I always stick with. :p

I ended work early today coz I know that I'll definitely have a long day ahead tomorrow. Can't stand working late in office so many days in a row. I'll go mad. Haha. Actually not.. But I wanted to spend time with my dear coz I didn't get to talk to him much yesterday. Not like we're talking a lot now. Haha. He's using the other computer and trying to solve his router problem while I'm typing my blog. But right now, he's cooking dinner for me. Hehe. My chef.. ^_^
