When I Dream~

I think in some ways, I'm a sinple girl who's easily satisfied with life. Headed to town just now to buy some heels and present for Min. Tom was thirsty so we decided to grab drinks. As we were at Borders, I naturally went to look for my buddy. There he was, hidden by the counter. Luckily I decided to bend down as I saw someone there, else, I wouldn't have been in the cafe. Thanx to my buddy for making me my favourite dish and a drink that I really wanted to try. We had Monster Mushrooms and IMM Slam. It made me a truly satisfied gal and definitely a happy one at that. Haha. :) And as always, he refuses to let me pay! Had a debate and in the end, I only paid $7 after saying that if he doesn't let me pay, I won't ever eat there again. Haha. After which, Tom and I headed to Far East to shop for my heels as the pair that I usually wear to work is spoiling. I managed to buy 3 pairs for the price of 2 and I like what I bought!! Am a happy and truly SATISFIED gal today!! ...

I've been rather stressed with work recently.. To the extent that I had bad Monday blues 2 days ago. Last week started to get hectic as 1 colleague was on training and I had a number of things to rush for my boss before she went for her course in Shanghai yesterday. Furthermore, I had to learn another colleague's portfolio as my supervisor doesn't want to cover her work when we are shorthanded. So, the job landed on my laps.. With a very sarcastic comment, "Maggie can learn your portfolio.. She's very smart one mahz." So, I took 2 days off my own work to learn from my colleague how to handle her work. In the end, I was left with Fri last week and Mon this week to finish my urgent stuff that needed my boss's signature before she left. What's worse was that there were some screw ups for my own portfolio and I made the same mistake 3 times in 2 days! Was really upset with myself coz it's not the first time I made this mistake. Sighz.. Think the stress...

Went to do fringe rebonding today as my fringe was getting too wavy and disgusting. As always, I went back to my normal haorstylist, Kef. He asked me if I was still in contact with my ex-bf, Stu. Kinda surprised me that he would ask this question. Brought back some memories.. Many people were envious of me when I first started dating Stu. Who wouldn't be? It was almost like a fairytale story. I was the temp staff at his office and he was the director of the company. It was a partnership that he had set up with a couple of friends. Anyway, the way we started was like a fairytale in itself.. He is 8 years older than I am, and yet we started dating. As most people know, I'm not the kind of girl who needs her bf to be around 24/7. I believe in personal time and space, and that we all should have the freedom to go out with friends even when we are in a relationship. With Stu, I had more than that coz he was always too busy to go out with me. Our dating ground, almost everytime we me...

It's been a stressful week for me as I had to do my currency all on my own and can only ask for help from Tom when I need it. My supervisor wants me to handle it by myself so my afternoons now are only to handle this. Furthermore, I'm in the Staff Events Committee and we had a movie screening of Ice Age 2 yesterday (08/04). It was tiring as my leader was on reservist and Cheryl was on medical leave the whole week. My other 2 partners helped on several stuff and I was running the show. Luckily, everything went smoothly and I hoped all of them enjoyed themselves. What really made me upset was that my dad called at my busiest moment and was yakking away though I told him I was busy. The handphone reception at the area was lousy and kept breaking up. I ended up screaming at my dad in front of my boss.. Not my female boss but the one even higher ranked than her!! Sighz.. It's such a disgrace and I felt so embarrassed!! And here he is.. Yakking away now. Can't stand him!!!!! ...

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 lunc...

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...

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 ...
