Words from Before It's Too Late by Goo Goo Dolls.

Monday, September 27, 2010

Went to meet my ex-colleague at AMK today for lunch. I was very very shocked when i saw her, because she was pregnant! I mean, she just got married, and it was a very pleasant surprise. =)
Congrats girl, gonna be a mummy soon! Take care of yourself!

It was a good meet up cuz we definitely gossiped. hehe.

I took the train to and fro the journey and, it is interesting. I see old man scratching and tugging on his balls, a beautiful young lady who is missing 2 front teeth (looks like from a brawl), auntie walking up and down looking for seat. Hilarious.

Halfway thru our chit chat session, i received a call from Jetstar. And as some of you might know, there's the Jetstar International (JQ) and Jetstar Asia (3K). Our following conversation goes :

N : Hello, im calling from Jetstar Asia, Nxxxxx, you have been selected to start ground school on 1st November.
Me : Oh, this is Jetstar ASIA?
N : yes
Me : you see, the thing is, i received the call from Jetstar Intl and have already accepted their offer, am just waiting for a date for ground school.
N : yes, this is the date, 1st Nov.
Me : but you're calling from Jetstar Asia right?
N : yes.
Me : so im waiting for Jetstar INTERNATIONAL's ground school
N : oh, ok sure. thanks.

i got soooo confused, i called the recruitment team and confirmed that i am in, and the lady confirmed it and that i'll be starting on 1st November.

Den i panicked.

i tried to call another lady from HR but to no avail!! what if N thinks im not interested in JQ and cancels my name off the list?! URG!!!!

JIALAT.

until now im still panicking and worried. hais.

Please please please let the HR call me tmr!!

BBQ yesterday i would say, a success =)
apparently, only 2 of my colleagues turned up on time which is at 2.30pm! and the rest either reached at 4pm or, myself, at 5pm.

all of us had to bring food allocated and im very proud to bring Curry Chicken and stingray. Cuz my aunt's maid cooks the best curry chicken and the stingray i bought is very fresh with home-made sambal chilli. =D
BUT. The person whom we all have to take our hats off to is BC! He is in charge of fruits, so we were basically expecting grapes, cocktail dessert, etc. No. He bought a 10kg Watermelon which he stuffed into his bag. Worse still, he took the MRT. We were all surprise he was even able to bring it into the MRT station without people suspecting that it was a bomb!
Along side his watermelon, he also bought rock melon and other fruits. and that heaviness caused his bag to break. Poor thing, but Kudos!

Nelson (my boss) called me in midway of the BBQ and said very nice things. He said 'this BBQ is for you, so, wish you all the best, work hard, be smart and good luck.' i was quite stunned at his sudden 'speech' so i think i kinda replied with a very stupid comment.

Pictures will be up on facebook soon.


Time today was not spent wisely. Although i am still on leave tomorrow, Baby is not. Oh well, we have next week.
Count down : 2&half days to official long holiday! =DD

Saturday, September 25, 2010

i am using the rubber keyboard i just bought. and feeling very stupid now because i have bought it for the number pad by the side , but there isnt any!!! ANGRY.

worse, i have to type like REALLY hard before the letters come out, and if there isnt enough force, i get spelling mistakes.
making me re-type each word multiple times.

STUPID.

went to the market this morn to buy stingray and other necessities for the BBQ later. Had Mac Breakfast since it has been like months since i last had Mac breakfast.
bought barang barang which cost me like 60over bucks including the stingray which is expensive as hell.

k, im off to help with the food.



Friday, September 24, 2010

on leave today =D

company BBQ tomorrow to welcome a new colleague. the whole bbq has been shifted to suit his time. But too bad, i cant make it so early. BBQ at 2.30pm. who does that? LOL.

Counting down, i have 2 and a half working days to go =DDDDD
den it will be hardcore slimming month!!

Salt


Salt yesterday on DVD. It is a little confusing at first, and the way Salt is trying to prove her innocence, you really want to believe her. But suddenly she does wad she's trained to be, and you go 'NOOOOoooo.......'
Its an interesting movie.

Although i really hate Angelina Jolie after what happened with Brad & Jennifer, I have to say, she's HOT, and she's really a good actress. I still hate her, but i wont boycott her movies. All of her films have been really good (except Tomb Raider - cuz i dont watch it).
She's a humanitarian, doing good deeds all around the world.

Maybe if she donated 10k to me, i would hate her less. HAHAHA...
(hey, i need it ok.)


Tuesday, September 21, 2010

SIGH.

i wanna splurge ! its not a need, its a want, but on the other hand, it IS a need!

i need to buy a laptop/notebook. the one i have at home is SPOILT and my sis gave me her ASUS which i think its too bulky!
i need to buy a camera, (though i already have a Canon 550D) but i cant bring my huge-ass camera with me to work related places and also, my Canon has been very comfortable at my sister's house.

BUT.

I cant! =(
I wont be having any salary next month, and for this month salary, i needa renew insurance, (personal and bike) etc etc... SIGH.


celebrated Baby n I's anniversary on Saturday instead although we already had a very nice dinner on friday.

Went to take NEOPRINTS! hahah! so old school! the machine SUCKS though, cuz it made our eyes super HUGE. for me it was ok, but for Baby, ... HAHAH.
We watched Step Up 3D in Shaw, and i have to say, it was old school. The seats, the popcorn, everything.
The show was nice, but street dance isnt my kinda dance, so i only enjoyed the last part during the battle, with their clothes lighting up and stuff. =D makes me wanna learn dancing again.

And it was onto ECP for dinner! =D

after dinner, we headed to the beach and sat down, enjoy the breeze, gaze upon the stars, admire the bright moon. It was a lovely night which i will never forget.

Oh and we manage to find the Pop Ring candy, where he used it to propose by the beach. =P (still, no 'get down on one knee' proposal)


We have decided to postpone our wedding til 2 years later. if we wanna get married like next year, we have to start booking all the venues, etc by NOW. but we do not have the cash flow, so, we decided to start saving money, and during next year around June, we'd start booking all the necessity, and we'll have plenty of time to continue saving for the big day.
Engaged for 2 years sounds weird, but to plan a memorable wedding would be so much better den planning a budget and rushed wedding. =D

I have 5 more working days to my last day! Honestly, i think i'd miss this place. But on the other hand, i cant wait for the start of my new life!

HAPPY 5 YEARS ANNIVERSARY!!

wow, it seems that in a blink of an eye, 5 years have gone by. if you ask me, what went on for every anniversary, i would tell you very honestly, i cannot remember.

but i do feel like, i never once missed out on our relationship, either by being too busy or by not caring. and that's why i believe that my dearest and i am perfect for each other.

Being my boyfriend isnt easy. i know. Andy knows. im temperamental, stubborn, egoistic, jealous, violent, grumpy, emotional. but everyone says, 'Andy is so lucky to have you' but i think, i am the lucky one having him in my life.
He has never once initiated breakup, never once threw his tantrum on me just because he was having a bad day, never once vent his anger on me in any way.
No matter how moody or upset he is, he would never show it to me so as to prevent me from getting worried or anything (though when i find out, i get pissed because i want to share his joy and sadness)

I have told myself endless times to be a better gf.

but now, i only want to be a better wife.

I love you dearest Baby!!
and i want to be with you for the rest of my life.

Muacks! =D

They said that i have been shortlisted and asked if i am still keen and i said OF COURSE! but they wasnt able to give me an estimated month or batch that i will be in. Either Nov or Jan. now i pray so hard to be in batch 10, Nov.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

Back to work today. MC yesterday did me no good. Cuz today i am still feeling sucky and very very sleepy after meds. i shouldnt have taken the morning dose. grrr...

Yesterday was spent sleeping throughout the day. woke up at 7.30 to go see Dr, and reached home around 9am, did a little work for joanne, and den its off to bed after lunch. and i woke up only at 5 something when Baby called me to open the door.

But even now i am still super tired, throat super painful and body all aching. ZZZ.


One day MC is not enough!!

Sunday, September 12, 2010

why do time always seem to just fly by during weekends? even though it seems like we are doing nothing, but just lazing around.
in another few hours time, i am gonna go back to work in office which i am dreading cuz i have to wake up at 6am and can only come home at 6pm.

SIGH.

pls let time fast forward til 1st October...

Saturday, September 11, 2010

Gonna Get Wii for myself with Baby's birthday as an excuse.. MUAHAHAHA..

p/s: im loving my ring!! =PP

Friday, September 10, 2010

So, what's the difference for me, now that i am engaged.

Not much difference.

The excitement lasts only for the few minute when the ring is placed on my finger. Once in awhile, i look at my ring and i smile.
But other than that, not much difference.

One question. How do i address him now that he's no longer BF but not yet Hubby ? Cant call him fiance fiance in my blog right?? =/

He popped the question last night in a very unromantic and uncreative way. Apparently, he was waiting for me to go home and pop the question face to face with one knee (the classic but with no flower), but i was out with my babes til quite late and while i was enjoying my Ice cream (courtesy of Hongen), Baby sent me a text message saying :

'Sorry, i go sleep lo... sorry later you reach home see my hp video clips, i got thing to tell you... i duno how to sms it out... so i video it down... i so sleepy... lol... good night... love you...'

i kinda guessed wads going on. but yet kinda worried. =/

When i reached home, i saw the video. In the video, he says (in chinese and half open eyes) :

'Laopo, sorry i didnt wait for you to come back, i want to sleep lo. but i still have smth to tell you. a few days later will be our anniversary, but i wanted to propose to you much earlier but i do not have money because i only work at pizza hut. Now, i have a stable job, i am confident that i can take care of you. I hope you will marry me. I already bought the ring that you like very much and hide it somewhere here. When you are back and saw this video, you go and search for it. When you have found it, and if you are willing to marry me, wear it and i will know the answer the next morning when i wake up. I love you'

I didnt wear it and gave him the answer the next morning. After i found it, i woke him up and demanded that he put it on for me. Hee.

So that's the unromantic proposal i got.

We went ring hunting like i have mentioned in previous posts, but according to the sales person, the ring cost below my budget. but i think baby actually called up the jeweler shop to tell them to lie to me, cuz he told my aunt the real price and my aunt accidentally slipped her tongue.
Now i very confused and Baby refuses to let me see the receipt. But one thing i know for sure is that im gonna scold him if i find out that the ring is above my budget set for him! Hmph! =P


Okie, now comes all the planning and headaches.

17th Sept 05.
9th Sept 10.

Relationship status - Engaged.

=D


Though i wanted it to be on the 17th of September, but the 9th of September sounds as nice =DD


it has been awhile since i had to work late. and it has taken a toll on me even though it was one night and not very late into the night. i wasnt able to wake up today..

Samuel went for his briefing yesterday for JQ and he helped me to snoop whether i am accepted. And seeing his name in my inbox on facebook, my heart stopped for a minute and as soon as i saw 'Congrats' i knew what was the following words. But to be sure, i had to keep reading the message over and over again just to make sure im not reading words from my hallucination.

According to him, i have got in to JQ !

=DDDDD

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

counting down to my very long holiday.

Another 22 days to go where 14 are working days. =D

Taking leave on BF's Birthday and our anniversary.

BF wants to celebrate in a hotel. We've celebrated via Sky Dining (cable car), holidays, picnics, nice dinner, but not in a hotel before.
Its going to burn a hole in my pockets. But as BF says, its gonna be worth it.

Deciding between Gallery Hotel or Fullerton.
Gallery hotel is cheaper, and actually offers more things den Fullerton, 4-star. but if i just top up around 50bucks, i can book Fullerton, a 6-star. hmm..
Other than that, also have to buy birthday and anniversary gift for BF.

He wants the Sony walkman NWZ-W252. which i will be getting for him, but what should i get him for the other gift? One for birthday, one for anni. hmmm....


September is always a headache month.


Tuesday, September 7, 2010

I met a couple (3 to be exact) of people online when i was preparing for the interviews to the various airlines.

Syahidah,
Chu ting,
Samuel.

Very nice people! It was really nice meeting them.

Syahidah and i will be starting our training with 3K around Nov. (Unless i get the call from JQ which means i will be colleagues with Samuel)
And Chu Ting is aiming for higher airlines.

I will follow the path that fate and destiny already paved for me. though my heart really wants to join JQ, i will still join 3K if JQ doesnt accept me.
Hope~~

grr.. i dont know what did i eat yesterday.. diarrhea........



2 news that i just read.

quite sad for both.
but it tells you that life is fragile and shouldnt be taken for granted.

Lets just pray for them.

Sunday, September 5, 2010

Sent Max to stay with Rainbow at Mount Pleasant.
Was quite sad and unwilling about it. But actually it will be for the better.

Went to IMM after that today. Was going around for ring shopping for quite some time now. BFF Fang intro-ed me to her hubby's uncle shop (i think) at chinatown, but their solitaire is a little pricey and way over our budget.

Went to SK, Citigem, Sookee, Lee Hwa, Goldheart.
Lee Hwa and Goldheart is also too expensive.
Whereas the other 3 is affordable esp after the discounts given.

I really liked a simple classic solitaire True Love series from SK. And boy, the diamond cuts are very very beautiful. The design is simple, and its the type of design you would see on every engaged ladies' hand. This ring is slightly over our budget.
On the other hand, i really liked this flower cut from Sookee which is very different for a proposal ring. It is a 6 piece center piece with additional small diamonds on the band itself. And this ring is within budget.
Headache.

Another issue on my mind is where am i gonna be celebrating my anniversary!? BF is being very bad. he's not giving suggestions or helping to give his opinions about my choices. So bad.


But i am excited! For many things. The proposal from BF (maybe??), our anniversary, my last day of work, my one month of leave (which i am going to spend slimming down) and of course, the start of a new job.
Kinda hope time will hurry to 1st Oct den slow down for at least a month. Hehe.

Saturday, September 4, 2010

BF is sick. not exactly sick, but he's feeling unwell.

He has some chest pain for a few days already but it worsened yesterday night which prevented him from getting a good night sleep.

This morning i accompanied him to the Polyclinic and we had to wait and wait and wait. Spend 3 hours there and 25bucks to end up being referred to NUH.
Went to NUH and again, wait and wait. Spent another 3 hours and 95bucks and went home.

Money flying away. But im just relieved that BF is ok.

Friday, September 3, 2010

i dont belong. its a good decision. feeling more and more left out and lonely.

Work load is increasing. til my BF is so frustrated whenever im late which is always.




My last day 30th September. As announced by my boss.

Thursday, September 2, 2010
