Bro stayed over with the little one over the weekend.. While lazing in bed, just commented to him that my table's really messy (ie. can't see the table actually).. his reply was, "is it? but you're even messier!"
Alright, he probably meant it in the appearance sense since I refused to get out of bed and just continued lazing.. but his words struck me hard cos I really feel that life's in a mess right now.. although perhaps somewhat in an organised mess.. but its still a mess..
sighz.. Ain't making much sense here.. shall go continue packing instead..

Murphy's Law
Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong..
I was kinda bumming at work for about a week plus.. literally not doing anything much except surfing the web.. but as my leave draws closer.. I get busier! which is always the case.. On training for the past 2 days.. which leaves me with 3 working days this week.. and I've got couple of datelines.. arrggghhh!
I can now only look forward to hopping onto the jet plane next tues nite, and head for the Land of the Rising Sun! doubt I'll have the time to come up with a proper itinerary as I had planned to.. let's hope all the years of Japanese lessons will pay off when I'm there... really can't wait to go!!

Calls for joy.. But...
Mid-year performance review was sometime in end July last year.. was just discussing with a fren from another dept and we concluded that due to the financial turmoil, there won't be one this year. But we were so wrong...
Was called into boss's room tdy not knowing what to expect. Then he passed me the letter. I was surprised that there was a mid-year salary review! Well, I didn't read the letter carefully, only zoomed in on the nos. first. So my boss asked which item I was shocked about. Read the letter carefully, only to realise that I got a promotion too! I literally went "HUH" in front of my boss in disbelief! I wasn't expecting a salary increment, much less a promotion. What more, I had just been promoted earlier in the year. Its just too fast!
The entire promotion and pay increment thingy didn't really sink in. I was more worried than happy. Ya, I get more money now.. but then, it comes with a lot more responsibilities and stress as well! I told my boss frankly that I ain't sure if I'm ready to fill into the position. It might've been a tad too fast.. Also, its gonna be difficult to manage expectations of ppl both inside and outside the dept.. then again, colleagues were telling me that to begin with, I shdn't have joined the dept at the rank of analyst.. jus that my boss couldn't override HR's decision.. so assuming I had joined as an associate instead, then my current rank matches with the time spent.. but ppl out there won't know the story behind it.. and thing is, I really dont' feel that I'm ready to be independent! sighz.. the amount of stressssssss!
This promotion didn't really come at the right time.. Just when I realised that I gotta take betta care of my health and pay more attention to work-life balance instead of working myself to death, the bar has just been raised for me. How to relax??? But boss said its either now or yr-end.. and he feels that since I have met the criteria now, he just pushed me up.. I actually wasn't expecting any promotion prob for another 2 years.. so can you imagine the immense pressure I feel right now!!!!

Sep 6 - 4th Anniversary
Angela's wedding was on Sat Sep 6, the exact same date, 4 years back when we joined the firm! Pure coincidence.. So after the wedding dinner at Harbour Front, we hopped across to St James..
Time definitely has wings!! its already been 4 years since we joined the work force.. except for me and sean, the rest are still with the firm.. they're good to last this long.. or maybe max's curse was too strong.. before he left for aussie, he toasted us to 2 years with the firm, to await his return.. and that nite, he toasted the others to another 2 more years with the firm, till his bond ends.. lol..

Packing
My place is due for upgrading works in the coming week. Workers are gonna come in and make a mess of the place.. so my ever great daddy started packing things away neatly so as to minimise the amount of dust collected over these items.. he inspired me to spring-clean my room at the same time as well..
twenty-plus years and i've accumulated quite a huge load of stuff.. things which I once thought were useful, now seem nothing more than junk.. and I wonder why I had bothered to keep them back then.. i tossed out quite abit of stuff.. prob an equivalent of 4-5 A4 boxes worth of stuff..
as I packed my room, I started to think.. this packing of my room is somewhat akin to me packing up my feelings.. tossing out all those that are nothing more than junk now.. keeping only those worthy of being kept.. so as I pack and toss.. I began feeling a sense of peace and a tinge of happiness.. its been very long.. and its high-time I tossed away all the unnecessary.. to allow myself to move on.. things which I use to hold so dear could one day become nothing more than junk.. where I don't even think twice about throwing them away.. how sad is this? makes me ponder if there's permanence in anything in this world to begin with?
no matter how I know its time to move on.. its difficult.. it took years before I was able to view precious things as junk.. I don't expect to be able to just forget everything overnight.. but at least I know that its possible, just a matter of time..

The Rhema Word - HOPE
Supposed to go for some trial body massage which was FOC and asked SX along too.. but.. cos I was late, we didn't get to enjoy the body massage.. meh =\ supposedly wanted to shop.. but somehow, we never found the energy to do so..
SX was giving bible studies to one of her members, so I decided to sit-in and listen as well. The topic was on faith being a process... then she went on to talk about HOPE. Well, everyone's supposed to have hope.. and God will answer to these hopes should the person delight in God. But to me, I felt that hope is such a double-edged sword. As the saying goes, 希望越大，失望越大 (translating - the greater your hopes, the greater your disappointment). SX corrected my mindset on this. She said that so long as our hopes are within the scope of plans that God has for us, they will be answered. In a way, I guess.. and she goes on to say that we must always persist in the things we hope for.. never to give up easily.. because one day, God will answer these hopes.. but I thought to myself.. this whole thing seems beyond me.. firstly, I don't know what God has in His plans for me.. if I don't know, how long then do I ought to persist to acheive something before I give up knowing that's not part of the plan? I've persisted before, believing that's what He told me to.. but at the end of the day, I only feel tired without accomplishing what I set out to accomplish.. I give up because I can't take it anymore.. does that mean I have lost faith somehow? then again.. how long is one supposed to persist?
This week's homily.. the only thing that struck me was again, "HOPE". I gotta say that I basically lost hope in alot of things.. and also stopped myself in hoping for anything after all the disappointments I had experienced.. I daren't hope again.. But I seem to be told today that no one / nothing is hopeless... One needs to have hope.. to have something to work hard for.. else, life seems kinda pointless.. supposed I'm at this stage at the moment.. not that I don't value life.. but I have no idea what my existence is for..
Probably He is trying to put the word HOPE back into my dictionary..

Singapore vs China
Currently watching the 2008 Olympics Table Tennis Finals. Singapore's 1st chance at a medal aft a long 48 years.. Actually, I ain't excited with the fact that Singapore's gonna get her 1st medal after sooooo long... no sense of belonging? I shall simply attribute it to my lack of interest in this sport.. Table tennis is a game so dominated by the Chinese, regardless of country.. but I have to say the players are really good.. so fast that I lose sight of that small white ball.. lol
Think I enjoy watching swimming a lot betta! Michael Phelps such a legend! OMG! 8 golds 2008 Olympics!!! Not forgetting the synchronized diving as well, which is dominated by China.. perfect timing in execution... i'm awed!
The 'live' match just ended.. its a Silver for Singapore! I think the team did well, against such a strong opponent..
Break time over.. its back to work =|

Night Cycling
Only bcos of the company.. that's the only reason why I went nite cycling on National Day.. otherwise, nothing could drag me out of the house and sacrifice sleep (something which I'm already so deprived of)..
Compared to what we use to do in the past, last nite's cycling trip was shorter with a group of old and new frens.. we started off from MF's place at AMK and headed north. Stopped at Seletar Reservoir (which to my amazement was buzzing with people in the middle of the nite) for a couple of rounds of bear and hunter.. before continuing on to jalan kayu for prata.. got back to MF's place ard 4am and crashed into bed..
my legs are still protesting.. more the knees than anything else..
so don't feel like going in to work tomorrow...

08Q2
Missed the last gathering.. so hadn't seen the team for some time alr.. was a nice, simple evening out..
Its always great catching up with them.. and how time flies.. seems like it was just yesterday when I entered the firm as an A1.. reporting to the then managers, KS and TA. Now, they're already senior managers.. signs that we're all growing old!!! TA's oso back from the States after a 2.5 yr secondment.. asked how's life there.. on a standalone basis - alrite.. compared to life in singapore - its great! wat a contrast.. lol..
for them who had stayed so long with the firm.. contemplating to leave at this juncture doesn't really seem to quite work out in monetary sense.. so i'm still glad i decided to venture out early.. where the pay cut i took was nothing that significant.. but ask me if this route i had taken is wat i want, i can't give you an answer either.. i've been asking myself the same question over and over again.. cos if banking ain't my cup of tea, then i ought to leave soon too.. before being won over by the monetary returns.. i give myself till my next bonus to decide.. cos i've worked so hard (and met my budget).. should stay and collect my dues before moving on..
but its really time to think.. WHAT NEXT?

Summer Break in Taiwan
The long awaited trip... had always wanted to visit taiwan to check out its shopping!! also 1st half had been so stressful that I couldn't wait to go on a trip just to unwind.. wat started out to be a trip with my cousin ended up pretty different.. was kinda apprehensive about having to travel with a fren and his fren.. someone whom I've met for the 1st time.. but, in my opinion, think we got along pretty well over the 9 days..
We were kinda ambitious.. only 9 days, yet we literally went round taiwan.. starting from Taipei in the north, we traveled down to Taroko Gorge in the East. Then it was all the way south to Kending. We then traveled north along the west coast, stopping over at Kaoshiung and visited Alishan before making our way back to Taipei. With all the time spent getting ard and sightseeing, the real shopping I did was a mere 2hrs at Wufenpu.. was a lil sad with the lack of time to shop.. then agn.. it was good tt i got to see alot more places..
Having done the round island trip, frens all asked me which city I fancied most... It would probably be Taipei and Kending. Taipei for its shopping, pretty ppl, KTV with rooms that resemble that of a hotel, vibrant nite life.. Kending for its laid-backness, the large expanse of blue waters.. the proximity to the blue waters (minus the nuclear reactor that was a tad too close for comfort) The other places were pretty too.. Taroko Gorge, "Qi Xing Tan", Alishan..
Some things we didn't do.. ought to have stayed another nite at Kending.. jus to relax and explore the place.. given that it was such a looongg journey getting there and its highly unlikely that i'll travel that kinda distance to get there the next time I head to Taiwan.. ought to have stayed a nite at Alishan to catch the sunrise which has been widely touted to be very magnificent and pretty.. oh well.. we certainly didn't have that kinda luxury of time..
Pictures are meant to speak a thousand words.. but pics tis trip are kinda minimal cos the company i travelled with aint cam whores.. jus make do with wat there is.. check out the link on the right =p

Breathing Space
finally have the time to change my blog skin... and i'm going back to basics...
1st half of 08 was way tiring given that i had to juggle so many things at the same time.. couple of which are over now.. which explains the breathing space i currently enjoy..
mood's a lil betta aft i got back from my taiwan trip (will blog abt that later).. even colleagues say that i'm alot more cheerful.. but tis is only temporary i guess.. will revert to the short-tempered, 'snappish' person soon enough when the lack of sleep builds up..
2nd half of the year looks a lot brighter in terms of breathing space and sorting out the direction i gonna take from here on..
one really needs loads of courage in life... 勇气

Save You
Save You - Simple Plan
Take a breath, I pull myself together.
Just another step until I reach the door.
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you..
I wish that I could tell you something to take it all away.
Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know.
I won't give up 'til it's over.
If it takes you forever, I want you to know..
When I hear your voice,
It's drowning in the whispers.
It's just skin and bones,
There's nothing left to take.
And no matter what I do,
I can't make you feel better.
If only I could find the answer to help me understand..
Sometimes I wish I could save you,
And there's so many things that I want you to know.
I won't give up 'til it's over.
If it takes you forever, I want you to know that..
If you fall, stumble down, I'll pick you up off the ground.
If you lose faith in you, I'll give you strength to pull through.
Tell me you won't give up,
'Cause I'll be waiting if you fall.
You know I'll be there for you.
If only I could find the answer to take it all away..

EMO
Actually, mind's in a complete blank right now... but I can't head off to dreamlandzzzz as yet cos I've got to get the nos analyzed by morn when I go in to work.. sleepless nite...
Then again, I'm in no mood to work... kinda feeling EMO right now...
Dance lessons, japanese lessons, CFA exam, endless work... I know I have to give the peripheral ones up soon... cos I'm getting nowhere with any of the above... betta to drop some and focus on the more impt ones... first one to go will be dance... as much as I love dance, with a class of only 3 ppl (me inclusive) left, its become so quiet that the enthusiasm's gone... will struggle to continue with jap.. but ain't puttin much effort there, gonna wait till cfa's over... cfa... i'm of half a mind to give it up as well... its draining to be studying after work (esp in my field of work)... also, I no longer have that self-disciplined... sad huh...
the current situation with roofus aint helpful in boosting my moods either.. its always a case where my hopes are raised, only to be dashed in no time... yet, I'm silly enough to continue finding reasons to explain why things are happening this way... jus wat is wrong with me?!?!?!
digress --- i need to change my blogskin... when will i find the time to do that???

周杰伦世界巡回演唱会
Just came home after Jay Chou's World Tour Concert.. feeling now is still 超 high!!
Cos of his popularity, we only managed to get the Cat 3 tix.. well, seats ain't that bad.. but if only we got the Cat 1 tix... nonetheless, it was still a very entertaining show! This was despite him havin taken to stage despite being sick (or so I heard). He's one amazing person.. so talented!! He played the piano, guitar, drums and guzheng during the show!! I just like to see him playing the piano... so kewl...
He sang more of the fast songs instead of those 抒情歌曲.. so the atmosphere was really high!! Even his grandma went on stage and danced!! What a sporting Ah-Ma.. =)Tortoise met laoshi and when she saw her tix, the price stated was S$0.00... laoshi oso said she would be going backstage later!! So envious!!!
Only regret of the nite, none of us had a camera =(
We were wondering where he would head to after the concert since last nite, he tripped off to Zouk... we were speculating perhaps he would head to St James.. but too pai sei to ask laoshi... so we went off for drinks to soothe our throats after all that screaming...
His songs are currently playing on my media player... ... =)
Sweet sweet dreams!

As 2007 draws to an end
Thinking back, trying to sum up all that has occurred in 2007...
In no particular order,
1. the year where I traveled most (both personal and for work) all my life
2. the year where I gave myself a break from studying after graduation
3. the year where close friends were all plagued with relationship issues
4. the year I started to journey with God
5. the year where I was jolted to my senses that life is so fragile.. that I could just wake up one day without the person so dear to me
6. the year where my career path took a change for the better (at least that's what I hope it is)
7. the year I managed to be different and summoned sufficient courage to speak the truth to someone who meant so much to me
Every year is filled with memories, good or bad, happy or sad, they're there to stay...
What's done cannot be undone... But you can do all you can so that tomorrow's betta...
No matter how difficult it might be, all the unhappiness of 2007 will have to be left behind so that I can begin 2008 with a smile...
让过去的过去，让未来到来吧!
There'll be no new year resolutions made this year because I know they won't be kept.
Happie New Year to one and all!!!
Blessed 2008 ahead!!

Tis the season to be Jolly
yep.. once again.. x'mas almost here.. supposedly the season to be jolly.. but my mood ain't anything like tat.. i feel completely crap..
haven been updating the blog regularly simply cos i don't feel like it.. with nothing good to write, wat's the point of writing? going away tis x'mas, and that's the only thing i look forward to.. but there's still so much shit to be cleared at work, all droppin on me just when i'm about to go on leave.. crappie..
somehow, my trips are always so well-scheduled.. allowing me to get away from Singapore at a time when I need to get away most..
finally, a white x'mas!!! fingers crossed that it'll snow.. heh.. and by the time i return, its time to prepare for the ushering in of 2008! I made a promise to myself that all the unhappiness of 2007 will be left behind.. 2008 will be a brand new beginning!!!
let me use the remaining days of 07 meaningfully.. to sort things out for a sunshine filled 2008 ^^
i need lots of strength, courage and guidance... ...
I CAN DO IT! I MUST DO IT!
