When I Dream~

Finally finished the preparation work for the lasagna that I'm making for dinner tonite. Yes, u're reading it correctly. I made dinner and it's not instant noodles nor is it spaghetti! Haha. It's the first time that I'm making something other than those 2 and I really hope that it turns out well. All I can do now is to wait for my boy to come home from work and we can tuck in to the very 1st dinner that I prepared, all by myself! Of coz, what would I do without the help of friends like my buddy, Joy and Meng who gave me instructions on what to buy and how to do it. Haha. Thanx all! Met up with KK, Marina and Jus for lunch just now. Just the 4 of us.. Chatting, gossiping, complaining. Haha. Too bad they only have a 1-hr lunch period. Otherwise, it'll definitely be more fun. They brought me to a place called Ah Meng's Cafe at Cuppage (And yes, it reminded me of u, Meng! Haha). The food is not bad. Depending on what you order, the range is about $5-$10 and you ...

Feeling really tired and sleepy right now as I slept for only 2 hrs last nite coz I couldn't fall asleep again after watching the 2 matches. Sighz.. I know I look like a panda. Still deciding if I should give the match between Switzerland and Ukraine a miss as I'm really tired and I wanna reserve my energy to watch Spain vs France tomorrow nite. I need as much rest as I can today. Had lunch with my ex-colleagues from DBS and it was nice meeting up with everybody. Basically, I was chatting more with Mels and Jessie but I expected as much. After all, I'm closer to them. Bought some swiss rolls for the rest of the colleagues when I went to visit them in the office. It's been such a long time since I last went back and I must say that I miss the working environment there. Sighz.. Time flies. It's been 1.5 years since I left that place. Everybody's still so sweet to me. . Honestly, I'm really thankful that I've been blessed with wonderful, fantastic colleague...

Today is my 2.5 years and 1 day together with Tom. Wanted to finish using my movie vouchers but there were no good shows currently so we decided to stay at home and simply relax. Spent some quality time chatting and talking about stuff regarding our future. Also spent some time cuddling each other, something that we haven't done since our Genting trip as everyday and every weekend is spent rushing to places. Felt good to finally get to cuddle my boy. Happy 2.5 years' anniversary my dear! Went to Joy's housewarming on Fri after work. Our whole dept went. For once, everybody was at the same place at the same time besides being in the office. I know it was awkward for Nat and Chris to be at the same place and Nat probably felt left out coz she basically didn't start any conversations or participate much in any of ours. But she did smile while we cracked jokes at one another's expense and teased one another. She left early though. All in all, I think the rest of us did ...

KK forwarded me this sometime back but I only read my mails today and I find it so true. It's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I copied and pasted here without changing a word. Read it.. Capricorn Employee Profile (december 22 - january 20) A Capricorn employee with too much to do is a happy worker. They need plenty of projects and responsibility. There is no sadder sight than a Capricorn worker without a sense of responsibility. They need to be needed. They are covertly ambitious - usually not flashy or obvious about it-but you will usually know that they are serious and determined about advancing themselves. They are completely scrupulous, so much so that they can be self-disparaging. But they are no pushovers. They can wear down even the toughest customers. Their persistence is incredible. Once they set their sights on a goal, they work away at it until the bitter end-whether the goal be that hard sell or the new hardware release. Capricorns don't work for free, howev...

Watching Brazil vs Australia on my laptop right now and typing this entry. Have to keep changing screens so I gotta make this fast. I normally try to sleep before 11.30pm if I have to work the next day so it's kinda amazing that I'm still awake at this time. Firstly, it's World Cup that I'm watching and I don't mind sacrificing some sleep over it though I'm already looking like a panda these days with my dark eye rings. Secondly, I think I'm starting to lose the fire and passion for my work. The more I think about work and that I've not been caring enough coz of work, the more I lose interest in my work. Am I asking for too much? I know I just got my bonus and my conversion to be a permanent staff in February. To ask for a promotion and a pay raise right now seems too soon but I seriously lack encouragement and compliments for the hard work that I put in. I mean, when Ting and Chris works late, boss will tell them to claim dinner allowance or cab allowan...

Should I say I heard something about myself today? Wonder how I should describe it but anyway, I found out that I'm not as caring as I thought I am. Maybe I'm just a bad friend. Haven't been contacting many friends in recent times and I haven't expressed as much concern as I should. Heard that it's the way I express myself. It's probably true. Been preoccupied with work so much that I even dreamt of work on Sunday night and again on Monday or Tuesday night (Can't remember the exact day). Am I stressed? Probably.. As I said, I've been contemplating if I should leave the bank. Our CCO dropped by today and I've always looked up to her coz to me, she's a very clever and talented woman. I know I can't compare myself with her but I always wish that I'm half as good and I'll be happy. Everytime I finish listening to her talks, I feel inspired and proud of my company. But after a while, the feeling simply goes away and I'm demoralised aga...

Been wanting to update my blog since I came back from Genting but have been so lazy. Quite a lot has happened after the trip.. Mostly unhappy stuff but there are also the happy moments. Anyway, Genting trip photos can be viewed here . I'll be putting my Fullerton stay pics in this similar website as well (provided I have the time). Haha. Had 2 major arguments with Tom after we came back from Genting. The 1st one is definitely my fault and I've admitted it. Promise that I will not do such things again. The 2nd one has been a long outstanding issue and I don't wanna dwell on it anymore. Let's just hope that things will be better in future. Attended Bernicia's pageant on 10 June with some of the girls from my dept. It was fun though the organisers were biased and it got me a bit pissed off. It wasn't a fair competition and it sucks. But overall, we still had fun cheering for the 'lil gal and it was nice to see her so happy! She won the Crown Princess title and ...
