My precious weekend..... :)
it's 345am but i can't bear to let the night slip me by... after 7 weeks into my new job, this is the first weekend i did not bring my work home.. not that i have finished all that needs to be done.. FYI, i just realised a mail was sent to me 2 weeks ago and still pending for my reply in my mailbox.. after fighting fire for so long, i really really need a break... hence, shall leave work to Monday..
my mind is so accustomed to working during weekends that i need to constantly tell myself to keep my mind off work.. subconsciously it will creep back into my mind time and time again.. "Has the shipment been arranged?", "Did i miss out any important mails?".. these questions just kept circulating around my mind.. Gosh, i need some discipline to learn to enjoy my life.. especially on a beautiful & precious weekend like now ...
Some updates on my new work and colleagues, im beginning to interact more with my new colleagues.. learning to know them more.. for the past few weeks, i was too preoccupied with learning my new role that i sort of neglected the social aspect of work... so now, i am making the effort to talk more to them whenever possible.. esp during lunch time.. :) ... among my lunch kakis are 2 thais.. and it is really interesting to listen to them talk in their native language.. their tone of voice is always so accommodating and polite.. and always say "Ka", which i got to know it is a way of acknowledgement when talking to someone... liken to our "yes", "ok", "uh-hmm".... so interesting.. im gonna learn more thai language from them in time to come.. so that i can go Bangkok and bargain for cheaper prices during shopping... =D ... but that is when the airport is back in operation again... aww....
Also, thank God for nice colleagues.. though the learning curve has not been easy, and i am still learning the ropes.. i am grateful that there are helpful colleagues around... and most importantly, thank God for S.A.N.D.Y., my God-send baby and guardian angel who never fail to check on me everyday to see if I have my regular meals and constantly reminding me to take care of my health.. Can't imagine my world without her great patience and longsuffering... She really suffers alot by lending a listening ear to me for the past few years... :)
Talking about the BKK incident, it's just a couple of weeks that i didnt read the news and so many unfortunate things happen... even as most ppl has yet to get over the global recession & retrenchment news, here comes the unrest in BKK and Mumbai..
Media coverage on bad news are so frequent that i'm beginning to feel numb about it... i wonder if you feel so too...
Anyway, i sense that my eyelids are closing in no time.. so i shall pen off here.. Good night, or rather, good morning my frens :)

T.I.R.E.D. - B.U.R.N.O.U.T. - E.X.H.A.U.S.T.E.D.
Dear frens,
Yes, im back to blogging after a few weeks of M.I.A. as usual... been really busy with my new job... yes, for those of you who have yet to know, i have moved on since mid oct, to an order fulfilment job.
Compared to my order processing job at MS, the current job requires much much more coordination work to be done.. from sales to logistics... something that i have never tried before. Since my 3rd week, i have been doing OT for almost everyday... and i'm really feeling kind of burnout and exhausted.. as my title suggest... but still hanging on as my superior has warned me of a steep learning curve beforehand.. i just hope it will gradually smoothen in time to come. Coz im really very tired.. the reason why you never see me on MSN recently. For those of you who are concerned about me, this post is evident that I am still alive, kicking, and hanging on. Haa. Thanks frens... ;)
Ok, other than repeating how fatigue i am, below are some pics I took with my dearest MS colleagues who are very much missed by me... Awwwwww... =......(
My helpful and friendly teammates
The newly revamped reception
The fun colleagues i enjoyed chatting and lunching with, not forgetting my nice and ever-patient boss without temper :) (3rd from right)
The 2 nice guys (Gerald & Yuh Soon) who never fail to guide me in my work
Meeting room where trainings are held
My favourite lamp!
The cool ladies (Siewlee, May, me, Rain, Yong Han) ;)
The best pantry of the year
Dearest Rain, who never fail to brighten up my days with her jokes and jovialness
The ever-loving mum, May... looking forward to the arrival of her 2nd precious :)
Yong Han, the cool young lady with drive and determination
My best pal who accompanied me at work ;)
Miss you guys and hope you all have been doing well... may our paths cross again. Last but not least, special thanks to Rain for helping me keep these precious memories alive... ;)

Growing up SHUCKS....
3 girls grew up larden with 3 big diff burdens...
Diff burdens but same outcome... =X how IRONIC LIFE IS...
I already threw in the white flag but why am i stilll battling?
If i can ask for 1 wish fr God...i would ask him to make me a woman without feeling, without love...with nothing....
Perhaps i would be happier this way....
The older you r, the more difficult it is to sense happiness...
Am i asking for too much or is it just me...
I AM SO UNHAPPY ABOUT MY LIFE....
Ya..since im so unhappy about my life, i shd do something about it right??
I KNOW....
but do what??
do what???
hell..if only i know...
Or maybe i shd just drown myself with alcohol...
Yeap..just keep drinking...
I wonder what is hiding behind those smiles.....
Time for some partying session!
DRINK DRINK DRINK! :DD
