I am home early today! It’s been quite a while since I have the pleasure of cooking curry instant noodle for dinner, with the stolen egg from my houssy.

Well, not that early actually or else I would probably meet up some friend for dinner or take away food from the shop.


Yes, I’ve been busy and lazy to update. And well, nothing to update.


Nothing much I did. Life is boring. Work, work, work. Till 10 or 11pm half the times; which is a really big deal for me coz I am not the type that work late.

But I almost got used to it now! Geeez… >_<

So, yeah, no life for the past month, hopefully not till end of the year though. I even missed the important dinner for my houssy farewell & birthday. Nothing exciting ever happened.

Except for.. oh yes, I actually wrote an entry for my best friend wedding at the end of Aug! But I was waiting for the pics then and then I lazy forgot to post it up. 

Here goes!


When we were young, we always teased each other on who would be the first one that gets hitched. But with passing time, nobody seems to make the first move; even when we are reaching the prime age! Gosh!

I guess we are just happy with current situation or we just don’t feel that we are there yet, even with the many naggings voices and society pressure?

But hey, thanks to P, someone from our group finally makes the very first step to the world for two!

The busiest girl among us, the one who always seems to be in focus and know what she wants in life and goes for it!

She’s the same girl who told my father not to worry and she’ll take care of me when my father is late to fetch me from school. I spent a lot of time in her house which is near to the school, waiting for the extra curricular or for my father.



I remembered picking a fragrant jasmine flower from my house & gently put into my pinafore pocket and leave it on her school desk during primary school as she loved it!


At Standard 2, she taught me the word ‘surat’ as I wrongly used the word ‘hadiah’. And I taught her a lot of Mandarin words that she could understand simple conversation in mandarin! But I seem to fail in mastering the Tamil!


In Form 3, we were in different class and again I would wait for her arrival in the morning. We spent many evenings going to tuition together and study for the SPM examination at my home.

And till today we just can’t stop teasing her on how much her curly fringe irks her!  

But I guess, I felt sort of losing her when she went to uni, far away to the east coast & later on to pursue her dreams of being a doctor in another country. And when she’s back a year or two ago, she’s even busier than ever! 

It is good to see her settling down with a respectable man and I wish her happiness and joy! And yes, kids. You might as well as kick off another project soon! ;)
 

And please, do find a little time in your life for us in the future. =)


The 2 doctors; whom I hope would give me fake MC when I need it in the future!

Congrats~!!!

 My favourite Chin-dian girl, sweet little thing who never fail to post naturally when a camera is facing her! P's niece..
 
The girl's handsome bro!

All of us were there at the wedding ceremony! =)

 So, who's next!?!

Tired. Losing concentration. Slow. Unable to focus. Stress.

 That’s how I feel when I work additional 2 hours daily now.

I don’t know how my other colleagues, who put in longer hours, manage their concentration level.

Perhaps some of them take break in the middle. Or go for dinner. Or they simply have to do it.

But for me, when I have a lot of task on hand, I must finish them before I am able to take any break at all; the only break is toilet break.  

Which is probably why I feel so tired at the end of the day.

It even makes me lose my appetite for dinner. I would probably only take some bun/bread and/or a fruit for dinner. Hope I am not losing any of my precious weight.. Blush

However, it does help me falling asleep. I foresee little or none insomnia in this duration. ^.^  

On the other hand, I am having too many work-related-dreams in loop; which is quite frustrating.  

I hope this project ends smoothly; by end of this month.

Missing the days when the sky is still bright when I leave the office.  

Another 3 weeks to go.. *counting*

 

1 month

It’s almost a month since I joined my new company. Although the working day is less than that due to the many public holiday as well as annual holiday and MC that I took.

I am still in the training mode, which was also known as the honeymoon that some of them labelled. A lonely honeymoon as I was on it, alone. Until this new guy that joined in a couple days ago, that’s it. But then again, we were in different phases of honeymoon.

Starting to warm up with some of the colleagues and the environment was rather nice, if you compared to my previous company. Not that it wasn’t good but just totally different. In term of culture as well. At least experience the difference makes me realised what I really want and more comfortable in.

And I like the lunches as there are many places where we can go to lunch. Variety, I like. But the biggest con which I am slowly adapting to is to change trains to work. It is rather time consuming and hassle, of course more costly too!

What’s more, yesterday the Putra LRT suddenly declared ‘major technical problem’. They closed half of the entrance and stop the escalator and switch off the light at the entrance; which literally shouts, do not come in!  

After battling with my choices for about 15 minutes, I decided to try taking the train but finally gave up after waiting for more than 30 minutes without any train in sight. It was horrible, and to think that I have so many reasons in why taking the train is a good way to go to work. 

Anyway, at lunch today with an ex-colleague, I suddenly found out that he had recently bought a car and works nearby me. He also stays in the same housing area and so yeah, I know who to look for when I am working as late as he is. =D

I didn’t realise how big the chunk of work in our lives is till I didn’t work for a short while. It makes me realise that work make up a big part of my everyday life.

Without work, I felt lost and unproductive and sort of.. useless. I felt that I am not being like everyone.

It just feel odd and.. very wasted.

Funny how that it comes from a person that hates to work.

Before this, I always thought that how nice if I do not have to give 9 hours to a company 5 days a week. How much time I would have enjoyed doing my own stuff.

I used to think that I need to work as I need the dough. Clearly I do.

But then, I gradually realised that without work, I lost discipline when I am having too much time and even lost interest in doing my very own stuff. Not everyday at least, but most of the time.

It makes me sink deeper into my comfort zone. 

And now, I have a few offers from several companies which took me quite a while to decide. The crab, the chicken and also the new addition of lamb chop.

Experience told me that there is no right or wrong decision. We will never know until we try.
 
Starting a new job soon, I felt that it is going to be a new chapter in my life. Work is such a crucial part in life that starting a new job feels like having a new start in life.

I hope this new life is going to be a smooth and wonderful one. 

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! ^.^

Lately, I feel that I have been forced to be quite productive at work due to a new guy in the team that has been practically taking over the team.

With the upcoming release date of the software, he has been quite anxious and came out with many plans and long emails. It makes me feel quite stress which really doesn’t help to eliminate the acnes on my face!

I couldn’t even find time to blog at work anymore as I could sometimes in the past. But then, it makes me feel that time is passing faster and I am not dreading work as I used to. Plus productivity makes me feel good about myself albeit the stress.

Thank God it’s already Friday! Am gonna savour the 2 days of rest!  

Happy weekend everyone! Innocent

This month, April, marks the 6th year I am joining the working world! Whoa! I started pretty early, around my early twenties. Yeah, so I am not that old, mind you. :P

Time really flies, I remembered when I was in my final year, I was really scared to venture into the working world as I told my roomie, Yun. I was very worried if I am able to cope with the job scope and perform well. I felt that I wasn’t prepared at all even though after studying for 4 years at uni.

But….so fast, it’s already 6 working years and I am in my 4th company! Another 28 years to retirement!!! Counting down.. aren’t you? :P

I’ve been to this new company for more than 3 months and well, hmm.. it’s another un-exciting job. Duh.. I have yet to start my ‘support’ role yet and really am looking forward it! Right now I am still doing QA which means plenty of testing.  (=.=)"

My new company office layout is quite ‘individual’ compared to my previous jobs. I guess I have pretty much privacy sitting in the individual cubicle as the pictures shown below.  Here are some of the pictures snapped in my cubicle during my b-o-r-i-n-g time. :P

                           

Due to the boredom, I like to munch something or drink something after lunch or during personal-tea-time. One of my current favourites are rose tea, green tea and honey or combination of them!

                   

So, how long have you been to the working world? Or are you reaching your final count down to retirement already?!
