brief updates (Jan-Jun) - 1

It's been 7 months since i've updated my blog. My work has been killing me. You should know by now, i only write an entry when i'm at work. perhaps i should just close down the blog, maybe i am just not suited to have a blog.

or perhaps i can just keep everything to myself, since i'm beginning to be rather skillful at it.

*sidetracked*

anyway, in chronological order! however, its not completed yet.. =D


New Year's Eve
Went to Kel's friend's (Christopher) house for a large-scale BBQ, with loads of yummy food and simply too much drinks. Apparently, Christopher's family have a tradition of inviting all family, friends, church friends, etc for a BBQ on NY Eve at their house. So we the friends were supposed to bring an item to the BBQ, not entirely a potluck though. And we ALL BROUGHT ALCOHOLIC DRINKS! how predictable...

There i finally saw the Hello Kitty room (Chrisopher's wife's fave). I call it the Hello Kitty Shrine. Never ever seen so many Hello Kitty stuff in a room, other than shops.

And when i saw the kids' playroom, which occupied the entire attic. How envious i felt, cuz i did not have such a big playroom when i was young. It's basically every kids' dream. =D


Chinese New Year
Watched 3 movies in 2 days. Jay Chou's basketball show with Kel (movie was ok), Ah Long pte ltd (with Von, Vete & their family. that show is totally hilarous!) and CJ7 (with Von, Vete & their family, with some of our friends, and my sisters and cousin Victoria. i cried abit during the movie).

went home to sleep during those 3 days. other than the usual visiting, things were basically the same, i suppose. *shan't think of unhappiness*

oh ya, i won about $150 playing 21. =D 1st time ever, cuz usually i tend to lose $100... kekek

Valentine's Day
Went to Al Forno for dinner. everything was so standardized. thus i dun think i ever wanna have VDay dinner outside again. But no flowers this year though. And yes, i am complaining.

hmm.. ok, now to let myself feel better --> if i had flowers, then things would seem very uniformed, like a cult, right?? dun u agree???

erm, as for pressie, there was no gifts exchange. cuz earlier he went to Chicago (biz trip for 1 week) and got me a Coach bag. A very pleasant surprise cuz he usually is quite against my branded follies and yet he got me this bag in advance for my birthday present. Very advance, if you ask me.

Initially, he had intend to give me the bag on my birthday! Who does that?! And which gal will agree?! however, in the end, he gave it to me the 2nd day he was back in SG. =D

For being so nice to me, i later bought him the 3days pass to the F1 night race, for his belated Vdae present. I'm so easy to humor. =x



******* abit abrupt but i shall cont about other occasions on another day... =D *******

=D finally, my good news!

.
One of my driving instructor had mentioned that it had better rain on the day, i take my driving test.

Apparently he said that i drive better in the rain, cuz i am unable to see cars through the heavy downpour, thus i do not panic.

Our inside joke on my 4th lesson. =p

It did rain today but it was no heavy downpour nor was it a small drizzle.

.

After 26 lessons, i am proud to announce that..

I've passed my driving test on my 1st attempt.
Total accumulated points: 16

.

So proud of myself.
*gives myself a pat on my shoulder*

I am an Analyst-to-be.

.
I have just signed the appointment letter for the position of ANALYST during lunch!
Dun understand? I FOUND A NEW JOB so bring out the champagne! hahahaha *uber happy*

An opportunity to learn new things, a more challenging role. =D
Hopefully, i will finally be able to stay long in this company, adapt to a new culture, get along with the people there, do my work well and be recognized for my efforts. *cross my fingers*
A different job scope but in the same industry, no more drastic changes in my career history.

A wish come true, an opportunity given, so i will do my best to learn and give my best.
If all goes well, i hope to start on my further studies by the end of next year.

I will start work on 26 Nov, Monday.
