Its Blogging time again!

 

Nothing much happened over the weekend, except that all the work I have done for AMP was "formatted" due to a faulty thumbdrive. Sigh. During that instance, I nearly pulled my hair out. And thanks but no thanks to the "helpful" friend of mine. Arghs, simply refused to elaborate on that!

 

The week was rather hectic, coupled with the fact that I was supposed to finish AMP's Q1 and Q2 financial statements and that work at APM wasnt at all smooth as the GM started to "target" me, and give me more and more "shit" to clear, just because the lady who went on maternity leave refuse to do it when she was around. Sigh. Can I say No? Difficult lor. I just do what I can. Nonetheless, these stress gave me another bout of chest spasms, which was really bad on Tuesday night. Sob. But after a night of Salonpas-ing my shoulders, and a full dose of muscle relaxant, I was feeling much better on Wednesday. Yah lor, was alone to deal with all these shit because dd is busy with his Interviews, school work, exercising, etc. Sigh. Where do I stand? Somtimes I DO wonder. Was kinda disappointed when dd didnt offer to help when I have to re-do the accounts, but anyway, I guess he has more than what he can handle on his plate as well? (I choose to think that way to make myself feel better) Cause I know how it feels when you have not enough time. Lucky mummy has been helping me a great deal during this time.

 

Weekend coming in 2 days. Gotta go back to AMP tmr evening to "present" the F/S to the bosses. So that means I am left with tonight to tie up the ends and ensure that everything that is supposed to be posted are in. Do not dare say its 100% accurate, but is quite confident that it is at least 95% there. Am proud. :)

 

Meetings after meeting in APM is making me feel so sleepy and bored. My lunch partner is on exam and study leave, that leaves only my boss and I for lunch. Quite boring. Sigh. Anyway just did a countdown, 31 more days to end of misery. And what makes me super pissed off is that I do not get a replacement off for Labour Day! And there is nothing I can do about it. What HR says counts. Sigh. What to do. Sway lor. Lucky the Vesak Day is on a Friday. If not will get "eaten" again!

 

Listened to Jay's new Hit on youtube few days back. Kinda feel for him. Hmmm, I sometimes also wish I can just fly to some place, and take a rest. Though I know what in few days time, my mind will drift back to home again. Hee.

 

Wasnt able to close any deals this month. First time I hit the ZERO in AIA. sobz. Sam encouraged me to follow up and bring in more in May instead. Well, hope so too! Meeting a client next week. Hope that I can close at least a PA.

 

Thats about it. Will plan a wonderful weekend with dd. (Hopefully!) We had a good one last sunday, and is still waiting for him to blog about it!

 

Till then.

Has been awhile since I last blogged, not because I am lazy, but I am simply damn busy like a BEEEEEEEEeeeeeee.

 

Have been rushing closing + ADM accounts, and at the same time, also need to start up on my "Revival" Plan soon! All these lining up of events are making me .... very .... STRESSED!!!

 

Anyway, attended AIA GALA dinner + awards night last friday. It was quite an eye-opener as we are able to match the names to faces on those TOP FSCs, TOP AMs, TOP DMs and of coz, we get a chance on the stage because we are the No.1 District in AIA! 3 Cheers for us!! The moment on Stage was a proud one (even though I admit I didnt contribute much to the results. Hahaha) Dinner was sucky coz the food was not tasty at all. Many were lukewarm or cold. And the serving of the drinks was like ??!!^&*. THough most of the time, we served each other with the bottles of red wine on the table. Haha. Managed to drink one red wine which is light and smooth, and yup, had a little drop too much coz the aftermath was sitting and stoning while the others take pictures! Kekeke. But was up and running in 20 mins and we were playing like crazy, taking photos like we will never have a chance anymore while the rest left after the event ended at around 11pm. Sam and the rest suggested St James to continue our "dancing frenzy" and off we went. It was only a 5 min ride to St James from RWS. BUT, St James dragonfly is damn packed lor. Sigh. Shouldnt have went because we hardly got any place to stand, not to say dance. Haha. And I was quite pissed off that one colleague was getting especially close (prob due to the alcohol) and I got Sam to get me out of the fix everytime that colleague make his "advances". haha.We went off at 2plus am, and reached home close to 3am. It was quite a fun and crazy night. Hah!

 

Saturday was spent rotting at home, and doing some work for ADM. Sent some files back and took some files back as well to complete some more work. Then sent boy boy to grooming, At night had a gathering with Bernice, Betsy and gang. And celebrated Bernice Bday before chionging to 10-dollar KTV again. Heheh. Ended another late night at 1plus am, and dd drove us home and we slept at 2am. What a hectic weekend!

 

Sunday went inspection, nothing much.

 

Monday went to sign the 2nd appt documents. The house is officially ours for now! But because we kind hearted let the ex-owners extend for 4 weeks. So we can only get our keys next month, Then we have to do the praying stuff already.

 

Tats about it for the past week.

Hope weekend comes sooner!

 

Yesterday's counselling session was about analysing my Total Behaviour.

It actually consists of 4 parts

 

1. Feelings

2. Physiology

3. Thoughts

4. Actions

 

According to Andy, Feelings and Physiology are 2 aspects which are not within our control. It is a reaction which is already "built-in" from our character. Like I was quoting an example when he asked me about something which triggers anxiety, I told him it was when I did an MRI scan way back in 2007. I was anxious (and scared) [Feelings] which make me burst into tears [Physiology], and I constantly worry if this machine will "saboh" me and cause me any pain or not [Thoughts] and in the end, I told the nurse I was too traumatised to continue with the scan [Actions]. He gave me an assignment before I see him 5 weeks later - to document down the moments when anxiety strikes me. He would want to tie these feelings to the underlying reasons what triggers my anxiety. Sounds very interesting because at least, I know what are the triggers, and I can counter them. (and not avoid them)

 

Tonight is the AIA Awards Nite, I am dressed in Full Black (as it is a black tie event) with a tailored silver vest for each and everyone of us in the District, courtesy of our DM. But sadly, I will not be able to meet my dd because he is too tired to wait for me to finish at the dinner to meet me. Sigh. And tomorrow he has classes, so meaning, I can only meet him in the evening. No choice lor, what to do.

 

Got a dilemma now. Obtained the reno quotation from my uncle's friend already. The difference is $2888. But one is a well known ID company, and the other is just a normal ID company. Of coz design wise, the well known ID has so far given us quite good vibes about them, and using interactive software to show us what would our future home look like before he starts the renovation. Wheares I dun think we will get that kinda service from the normal ID. Arghh. $3k for drafts and designs? I am not sure which to go for!

 

Nothing much to update already because work suxs. ADM accounts are also very messy. Haiz. But by hook or by crook must complete the Oct 2009 ones by saturday. Haiz. We shall see.

 

till then.

--

Finally tomorrow is Friday again! However, gotta attend this AIA awards night tomorrow, and it is at Resorts World Ballroom! Woohoo. We will be one of the first to have our event held there. Hee. And its a black tie event. Meaning later I still have to go and find a shirt to go with the silver vest which our very generous DM has made for everyone. It's not from any cheapo tailor ok! Its from Joe Tailor (the very expensive tailor at Raffles Place). This is really a good keepsake in future!

 

Yesterday night was rather upsetting because we went to this "Tiao Dang" place to ask about reno for our new house, in hope of avoiding some taboo stuff to have a safe home. However, god told us that our house isnt really good to begin with, so instead of us being able to have a better home, now we will have to work towards making the house more condusive for staying. At least peaceful and ok. Sigh. A bit sad because I had hoped to be able to stay in that house for long due to the rising cost of property. Now it seems like after 5 years is up, we can try looking for alternatives. I was actually thinking, if things really aint good, we could actually try renting it out, and stay at a rented condo instead. Doesnt sound too bad right? But really have to work out the cost of doing that.

 

Missing dd very much as these few days he is having training with a UK colleague so most of the time is inconvenient for him to talk to me. But he also very "guo fen" lor, never even gave me an sms during lunch time or what. Hmmphz! Angry him. Anyway looking forward to spend time with him over the wkend, but he has classes, so thats another half a day gone. Sigh.

 

Hope can breeze through this assignment at APM because its really damn tiring having to hold 3 jobs, but I am already starting to neglect my AIA job. Haiz. Have recently sent in my resume to do customer service at Citi, haha. If I get in, then I can continue holding my 3 jobs (+Citi - APM)

 

We shall see how.

 

Till then

First Half of my Day was spent trying to beat the crowd and book Jay Jay's tickets for his World Tour 2010. Was successful of course, but couldnt went with my kakis cause the tickets left (by the time I can log in successfully) are only single seats. Nevertheless, better than nothing. (Later on, I also managed to get PS a single seat the next cluster to mine). Then after lunchtime, I went and log in again, but just like I expected, all seats were taken up. Left single seats for Cat 5. So knowing that some people will use this chance to earn monies instead, I logged in to ebay, and did a search. Saw this "bugger" practically selling the tickets like as though he has got a whole stack of it, of different categories, and the prices are ridiculous! At least twice the original price. (i.e. a pair of Cat 2 tickets selling for $1100) Crazy or what? Hate this people who tries to act smart and use Jay to make money. If you are not a fan, then F-off and stop hogging the sistic webby, making it difficult to genuine fans who want to get the tickets after waiting for so long. I hope no one buys the tickets from them, because it will only condone them to use this "black market" as a tool to make more monies. Morons!

 

I GOT A SEAT I GOT A SEAT !!!

YAYS!

Its an amazing and nice feeling to feel like you are falling in love all over again. 

 

Being able to spend quality time with your SO on a very much anticipated holiday is an extremely happy event for me, as it is not like we can go on a holiday as and when we like, or several times a year. The last time we went on a holiday was March 09, and it was a short trip to Sunway Lagoon.

 

When things which you have wished upon the stars come true, like for me, to play in snow, it is even more meaningful when you are doing it with your SO.

 

While on holiday, you can slow down your pace, enjoy a cuppa drink in a cafe without having to worry about what chores you have not done. Even when there are no conversation going on, you will still feel a tinge of warmness in your heart, just by looking at each other having their drink, munching on that particular waffle with maple syrup. These are the things we miss in Singapore, didnt we?

 

Simple joy can include eating Kimchi Instant Ramen in the hotel with your SO, walking hand in hand enjoying the scenaries, and breathing in the fresh cold air in an Island full of Love, putting on gloves for each other at the hotel lobby, wrapping a shawl around the neck of your SO, sharing a tumbler of warm water in the cold weather and much much more .....

 

Missed the times.

 

Yearn for Simple Joy.
