Bothered..
Something's bothering me and I don't think I will feel better without spitting it out so here I am.. Typing this entry in the office.

Found out something last nite and although I promised somebody not to tell, I can't help feeling disgusted and I really need to let it out. Names will be concealed.

I've always felt that as friends, we should not fight for other people's love. Of coz I don't mean myself here. A close guy friend of mine likes a gal for very long and all of us know it. The gal recently broke up and another guy (who is also part of the group of friends) is now together with this gal. I feel totally disgusted at how some guys can do this.. Going after another girl that your friend likes.. To me, it's not a good thing to do.

I don't know.. Maybe it's just me.. Like what someone said.. Even if you like that person, it doesn't mean that the person will like you back so it's not surprising that she's with another guy. I've gone through such experience before when I was in Secondary School but I decided to forsake the guy and keep the friendship that I have. I'm the kind of person who treasures friendship more than anything. Guess not everybody thinks like me. Maybe I'm too extreme.. But that's me.. Not gonna change that part of me or I won't be me anymore.

Anyway, all I can say is that my opinion of this other guy has totally changed and I don't think I wanna really talk to him anymore til I can get over this episode. Must get over the disgusted feeling that I have or I'll hate this guy forever. Think I'll turn my back on this guy and gal when I see them and I'll never exist in the same place and time as them til I get over it. Pls understand..

Dream Come True?
Finally received my letter stating that I have been promoted to Assistant Manager Level 2. Have also gotten my pay increment and my bonus. Things that I've been waiting for have finally come.. I should be happy.. But somehow, my mood is pretty down. Sighz..

Have been sick since last week. Came down with viral infection and I've been coughing away today. Not feeling fantastic coz I'm coughing so hard that I feel like puking and my tummy feels weird. Sucky feeling.. Such a slow and mundane day at work.. I'd rather be at home sleeping. Haha. Is that the way someone who has just been promoted should feel? Hmmz.. Maybe I'm just sick..

Received news last week that I will be posted to Shanghai for 2 months to provide training to the people there. Was excited to go initially but now, I think I can't bear to leave Tom for so long. Haha. Is it really long? Sighz.. Never felt like this before.. He makes me love him too much. Haha.

Had Council gathering at Abel's house yesterday. 2 years since I last saw most of them. Think yesterday's gathering was 1 of the biggest group we had so far.. 18 of us! But that's still less than half of the total that we have (40 people in all). We were walking down memory lane when we realised that we've known one another for 7 years now! Seems a long time ago since I was in College. Then.. it's always "Ahh.. Those were the days.." :p

Received a call from Zubair yesterday as well. It's always a pleasant surprise to receive calls from friends who are overseas. Seems like it's bad weather in New Zealand as well. Told him that I won't be able to visit him by this year due to the Shanghai trip that I'm due for.. Kinda disappointed that I can't go New Zealand as well. But I guess there will definitely be a chance for me to go there in future. :)

Glutton
Work has been ok for me since the start of 2007. Been working latest til 10pm I think but that's still ok coz most days I tend to try and leave earlier. My whole dept on the whole has been managing to leave office at 6-7pm. Only me.. I'm always the last to leave at about 8pm. Sighz.. Wonder why. And my workload is about to increase as I learn more stuff from my boss. No complaints though since I really wanna learn more as well. So.. Just have to slog harder than the rest and make it all worthwhile in the end. :)

Had my post-Christmas and post-New Year dept dinner last Saturday (06/01) at Oriental Hotel "The Melt" restaurant. The buffet spread was quite nice, especially the oysters and sashimi! They were really fresh and the desserts were fantastic! Some of us went for drinks at Esplanade after the dinner and sat around chatting. My boss joined us and we really had a fun girls' night out (Note: My whole dept is all girls!). But after that night, we realised that the character of 1 of the newbies ain't that great.. But whatever.. Doesn't really affect me much.. Just sorta pissed me off.. Haha.

Been eating a lot the last 2 weekends. Eating so much that I feel like a true glutton. Thank God I don't eat much on weekdays and I try to eat vegetables only. Haha. Else, think I'll be a fat pig by now. :p Don't mean to insult anyone ya? Pls don't take what I say to heart. Hehe.

Newbies at work have been making quite a few mistakes at work this week. Not a good sign. Boss is not impressed at all with their work ethics and attitude. Neither am I. Seriously, this new batch of people joining have no sense of responsibility at all and that sucks big time. Sighz.. Rach, if you are reading this, keep it to yourself and work hard k? :D Big hint here for you already.. Haha.

K.. Time for me to carry on watching my football game on TV now. :) Missed the gathering that my council fellas organised coz I slept til 3.30pm this afternoon. Yeah. I slept that long but it feels superb! Haha. Enjoy the weekend folks!

Happy Birthday To Me (Continued)
Was at Mount Faber for my birthday dinner and countdown party to the new year. Tom and I had dinner at Faber Point where there was a live band performing. I dedicated a song for my own birthday and they sang a very nice version of "Happy Birthday" to me. After which, I also dedicated Selina's "Dreaming of You" for Tom and my 3 years anniversary on 25th Dec. It was a beautiful moment and the memories will remain forever. Tom gave me a Solvil Et Titus watch for my birthday! :p

Met up with Ann, Peggy and MZ for countdown party and cable car ride. Was nice but we mised part of the fireworks as we misgauged the timing of the cable car ride. Saw the flares from the ships as well too. Got to experience snow as well but they were just foam that smells really nice. Haha. Wasn't too bad a countdown party except for the fact that there were inconsiderate motorcyclists who rode on the pavement just to get out of the jam. Can't believe that there are such rude and idiotic people around who totally fail to consider the safety of others! How terrible!

Had another BBQ last night at Tom's place again coz they bought too much food the other night and couldn't finish. Haha. We still couldn't finish all the food but it was much better this time round. :p Played mahjong with his parents after that and we played really fast. Was quite an exciting match. Haha.

And so today, I'm at home while Tom's at work right now. Sighz.. We really don't have much time for each other nowadays. Hopefully things will change for the better soon.

Recap of 2006: I've had quite a good year with nothing really bad happening. Hopefully 2007 can be just as good. May every year be just as good and peaceful! May 2007 be a good and fruitful year for everybody! And thanx to everyone for the birthday wishes! Truly touched.. It's the BEST birthday EVER!! Thanks!!!
