** 生命的奥妙 **

Yesterday vomitted in the office after lunch & "LS" a couple of times.
Feeling terrible, went to see the company's doctor @ B2, such convenience for the employees!
I was diagnosed with food poisoning and was asked to go back home & rest. That was 4pm!

Took a nap after my medicication. Woke up abruptly and got the urge to "LS" again! Sitting on the toilet bowl and let out few gases, in split seconds, I was doing the "merlion" act again! Gosh, when was the last time I vomitted so badly? I can feel my 胃 turning upside down & the pain at my abdomen was killing me. Crawled back to bed not forgetting to leave a pail by my bedside cos afraid I might puke again.

Ken got to attend a club visit thus unable to come home straight. But he bot dinner back for me, porridge for the sick!

Ken left for Penang this morning & I was on my own. Still feeling weak n sick, I took another day's MC. It was my 3rd week into the new job, 我也不想的! No choice lah!!!

Ok enuff of moi, got 2 smses yesterday & this morning respectively. My ex-colleague, Shirleen gave birth to a healthy baby boy last nite. However, this morning, received an unfortunate news frm Imelda saying her grandfather passed away. Within 24hrs or less, I received 2 pieces of ironic news.

I remembered sending my regards to Shirleen, congratulating her bundle of joy.
Today, I sent regards of condolences to Imelda. As mentioned, life is so unpredictable!

So far, this year, I have attended 2 wakes & 1 visiting of a newborn in the hospital.
I know 生老病死 is unavoidable, but I wish to hear more of the good news rather than the bad ones.

A matter of fact, I believe there are more good news this year. My fren's sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby boy. There were 2 newborns last month & both are baby boys too. Wah, including Shirleen's newborn, there are total of 4 babies! Glenn, Javen, Edgar & Kenzo!!!
Congratulations to all!

Looking forward to my cousin-in-law, ex-colleague and fren's good news soon cos their babies are all expected to be due soon! Oh, so exciting yah!

Dun wanna tok about too many sad stuffs in my blog! Still, I wanna send my regards to Mel & her family. Take care of yourself & the baby! Deepest condolences!!!

** 讲你知 **

On 13.07, Fri, I went to watch Jacky's concert with my family including my mum, haha!!!

Waited for so many months, finally, finally he's here!

From 一场 to 三场 shows, can you imagine his popularity as a 歌神?!

The concert started around 8.20pm & ended at around 11plus. It was realli worth the price cos he sang more than 3 songs during the encore! Oh my, how I wish I can continue to sit there and hear him croon through his ballads. Dun feel like leaving man!

As u can see the title of my today's blog is <<讲你知>>. It's a song written by Jacky dedicated to his wife. He had also written another song for his 1st child - <<摇摇>>. Both songs are fantastic!

He sang alot of 脍炙人口 mandarin & cantonese songs, so shiok!

*************************************************************************************
On 14.07, Sat, another long wait for Harry Porter & The Order of the Phoenix. Was worried that we were unable to get gd seats cos din booked in advance. Heng ah, watched 11pm show @ Tiong Bahru, managed to get 3rd row frm the back, see...not so bad yah!!!

Regardless of what reviews ppl give, I lurve the show, frm beginning till the end! Ok, I admit I'm a fan of Harry Porter, but not a crazy one!

Lurve watching how the actors grow, frm kids to teenages to adulthood!

Lurve watching the magic, and the difficult to pronounce magic commands! (sounds like asparagus)

Lurve the magical animals - invisible skeleton horses & owl. (er no, dislike the cat the most)

Lurve watching the farnie characters, Hagrid's brother aka the giant, the fake school head mistress, Dolores Umbridge aka "legally blonde" (always wearing pink), Albus Dumbledore, Hermione, Ron, Alastor Moody aka man with one fake eye, Sirius, Snape etc....!!!

Looking forward to part 6 & 7 of Harry Porter - The Half Blood Prince & The Deathly Hallows which most prob be showing in 2008 & 2009 respectively. Never gonna miss one man!

The books of these 2 titles are already out in the bookstores...hmmm....shld I read the story 1st?
Or shld I wait for the movies....wahhh....how huh?! *thinking hard*
For those who have not watch, what are you waiting for? "Go, Go, Go"

** CHanGes **

Life is always full of surprises & uncertainties.

Who would have guess? Having worked in Cogito for just 3 weeks, I hv decided to make another career switch. Was my departure due to unhappiness with the colleagues or work? NEITHER!
It all happened too fast & it was a decision which I thought was the best. I have gotten many advices from frens & family and I thank them all for giving me precious words of advice.

3 weeks' stint in Cogito taught me many new stuffs & the colleagues are great. Managed to catch up with them on 12.07, Thursday for a kala kala session. I have not been forgotten, how nice!

The previous day which was 11.07, Wednesday, I had dinner with frens frm GfK, my ex-ex company. The feeling was a mixture of 想念 & 期待, dun knw why, can't realli explain! But it's realli a good feeling to see old frens again. After dinner, they need to return back to the office for OT, I met up with Carol & Ailing @ McDonald's. Alot of catching up, gossips & jokes!!! It was fun!

Someone told me before: "Once you leave the company, although we said we will catch up with one another, but usually dat's not the case! Cos we will have new colleagues & new work commitments, thus, will not be able to meet up."
I totally disagree with that! I'm a sentimental person, espescially having spent 5 years in GfK or even just 3 weeks in Cogito, they are no longer colleagues but frens whom I treasure and will definitely miss! Making a point to keep in touch often with them is not a difficult task, 只要有心,哪有做不到的.

In my new working environment, things are slightly not the same. Culture's abit different & I'm trying to adapt n trying to mingle more with the new colleagues. In terms of work, although not similar to what I used to do in GfK, but it's definitely another area worth exploring & to further challenge myself.

For my concern frens out there, do not worry about me! I will get used to the situation sooner or later. I believe that things will changed for the better with my continous efforts!

谢谢愿意听我发牢骚的朋友, 在我不知所措的时候, 给我支持和关怀. 我会继续努力的.

** SuPer DuPer XpreSS BLoG - Part 1! **

Wah seh, too many things to update but simply got not enuff time. So, I'm gonna squeeze all June's happening into summarised blogs!

09 June'2007, Sat - Singapore Zoo

Hmm, after the trip to HK & Macau, I embarked on my new career @ Cogito Image, a desgin hse specialised in exhibition booth setup, interior design & renovations of retail, HDB, offices etc.

I was a Marketing Executive there and it was a totally new industry for me. Thus, there are alot to learn & it's pretty interesting. All along, I'm searching for a career in this industry.

Over the 1st weekend in June, Ken & I paid a visit to Singapore Zoo, main reason is to visit Inuka the polar bear. The thought of him moving out of our Zoo soon, makes me wanna visit him for the last time. I just have a soft spot for furry animals....aawww...!!! Imagine no more polar bears in our Zoo in future...sad sia!!! Didn't get to see Inuka's mum, Sheba! Hibernating? Haha!

16 June'07, Sat - 1st Bowling Session with Cogito

Working on alternate Sat was something I did nt expect when I went for the interview. However, since I have joined, I need to abide with this clause in the contract. No worries at all!

My 1st working Sat was actually an activity organised by one of the team. Each team will come out with activities on alternate Sats! Not too bad afterall!

Suppose to have telematch @ East Coast, but 老天不做美, it rained when we were on our way to East Coast. In the end, we had a bowling telematch instead. One of my fav. indoor sports! It so happened that I had a bowling session with my frens the previous day after celebrating Jean's bday! Well, our team was the champion after 2 rounds of games, credits go to my colleagues lah!

My 1st game was like 90 & 2nd game was bt 117.

19 June'07, Tues - Celebrating Evelyn's Bday & Belated Father's Day

Time realli flies, Evelyn is 21 this year liao...oh my, we are getting old!

We had dinner @ Riverside Indonesian Restaurant @ Clarke Quay.

Ken couldn't make it as he need to entertain his suppliers.

Hmm, why did I choose this restaurant in the 1st place...aiyah, becos hor, always stick to Chinese food like very boring. So I decided to bring my family to a different place this time round. As my mum, Evelyn and Tammie (my niece) can't realli eat spicy food, we ordered non-spicy BBQ food for them. At least there's a variety to choose between spicy & non-spicy food.

After the dinner, we took a stroll along Singapore River & my parent was like reminiscing the past...haha!!! The weather was fine, the sky was clear and it was definitely a great nite!!!
