Mixed feelings

went for the briefing on fri... nothing much actually... just know wat are the next few steps we need to follow... where we'll be sent to and the blah blah stuff about wat happens if we skip bond -.-

well... on one hand... glad to have this opportunity to undergo training.. in a supposedly new field in sg... but on the other hand... the impact of leaving sg after only been back for like slightly more than half a year is slowly sinking in... sad to have to leave my family behind...=( going to a place with a time difference of a whole 12 freaking hours... at the other end of the globe... not forgetting the unknown area of training tat i would be allocated under... wat if it's some crappy stuff tat i'm not very interested in? hmm... hopefully i don get quality assurance or validation... read thru the brief descriptions... think manufacturing sounds more interesting... maybe QC also ok... but well... manufacturing seems better... oh well... we'll see... plus the uncertainty of whether i would be offered a place in the sg plant after completion of the training... well... just have to hang on to the belief tat after the training.. even if i wasn't offered a place.. the training would better my chances of getting a job... hmmm.. don know how true is tat... but i guess for now it's the only consolating thought tat we could hang on to for the moment and not think too ahead of ourselves and get all stressed up...

well... i guess it would be a good experience... staying in US for 18 mths... experiencing the change of the 4 seasons... hmmm.. i'll get to see snow for the first time... tat's something new... on the other hand... will be missing a whole year of events happening in sg... the festivals... the tv programs... hahaha...

OMG... was checking the current temp there... and it's like 36 Fahrenheit... which converts to like 2 degrees!! and i thought if i'm not wrong... it's suppose to be wat... spring? or summer? still so cold? hmm.. well.. maybe cos it's like 3, 4 am there? -.-

well... let's just hope everything turns out fine... and goes smoothly... the way i want it to! ok.. will post again when i find out more about the place....

Old frens

Yest met up with old frens out of the blue (recall back... we were in the same class in kindergarten!! so tat makes us frens of 20 years!!) and the funny thing is... i don think we ever met up for anything before... haha... hope in future we could hang out more... since we stay so near to one another...

Oh ya.. going to be an office gal from thurs onwards... for 2 mths plus bah... before i go off again... haha.. at least got some income la.. and also to pass time la... rotting too much is bad for health... haha...

Malay wedding

Wow! today is the wedding day of a malay neighbour (i don know them la.. haha.. but hey.. we are neighbours... we stay in the same block! and of cos we find each other's faces familiar la) met her mother in the lift yest.. she was dressed all in red (with circular chinese symbols design.. like those on qi pao... chinese influence.. haha) chatted for tat few seconds it took the lift to get to her floor... imagine i use to see her daughter in the lift in early mornings when we were still in uniforms.. going to sch... time flies... though i think she should be only in her early 20s bah...

walked pass yest... the void deck was lavishly decorated... with lots of tables... the floral arch... their 'throne'... and overall was a whole white and light purple tone.. nice... a lot going on in the makeshift kitchen also... cooking loads... large pots... and pple washing dishes at the sinks... busy busy... oh ya... not forgetting malay music blasting and singing!! haha..

at about 1.30pm.. the groom arrived... with his kompang troupe... how exciting... first time i actually get to see it happen (from a bird's eye view) other neighbours... both my block and the opp block were sticking their heads out to see the arrival of the group.... haha... kaypo also...

i always find malay weddings interesting... very fun... everyone get together... hang out... and feast... the overall atmosphere is warm.. with well wishes of frens and relatives... just a very 'family feeling'... totally love it... =)

Tired...

Went out today with cousin... haven met up since i came back from aust (CNY tat time not counted la.. never talk much..)

I was glad i went out at the time tat i did today... if i had left home later... i would have bump into 'somebody'... which would be like *faints* luckily i took the earlier train.... phew!! tat was close!!

anyway... we went window shopping... from city hall to suntec to marina... no new discoveries leh... she finally bought her squash racquet... following my footsteps... joining the squash club in jc... hahaha.. (ya think too highly of myself.. haha..) well.. i think it was a pretty good deal.. at least cost much cheaper than wat i paid for last time -.- but at least got someone else to play with me next time... hmm.. squash doesn't seem like a popular sport among my frens..

anyway... din sleep well last night... and all these walking the whole day is making me tired... think sitting around chit chatting is a more suitable 'sport' for me than shopping... haha... more constructive at least....

ok... tired.. going to sleep le...

Zzzz....

New Asia Bar

Was just sorting out the photos taken at New Asia Bar the other day with the gals... so decided to have an entry of that day...

great turn out.. all except ling were there... (hope her exams finish soon.. then we can have a full force gathering) well.. went to our usual lunch hangout place... suki sushi buffet... food's not bad... get to eat loads.. though we had to admit.. we are old.. no longer eat as much as we used to.. sigh.. our standard really drop drastically.. from the usual 70+ plates to now.. we don even keep a record now.. too depressing...

after that we went to New Asia Bar.. beginning to be another of our frequent hangout recently.. u see.. we had a few 'drinkers' in our group... hahaha... well.. the view up there was great... get to see a large part of sg... oh ya the wedges are nice! shan and xin went off about evening time... i wanted to go too cos i din plan to stay too late tat day... but i thought maybe a while more... but to my horror... tat was a wrong decision!! cos the 'drinker gals'... haha... decided to drink to their hearts' content (cos they haven done so for a long time)... so as a nice and SOBER fren... i have to stay to make sure everything's ok... haha... they ordered 20 shots of 4 diff cocktail or watever i don even rem the names of.. and started to 'gan' ! (FYI: they had already had a few to drink before that already.. ahha) so the drinking starts.. and well... u start realising tat the talking gets louder... and the actions get bigger.. (!!!'_') thank god the place was dark and the music was loud... if not... probably have to dig a hole to hide.. we finally downed all the shots... and thank god again... they decided it' s time to go... (talking about going home early.. >.> )

if i may add... pls refrain from subjecting me to such things again... rem to inform me before hand tat drinking till high will take place.... so that i can scoot... hahaha....

ok tat's all for now... hope certain pple won't get to see this entry... =p

Something new

Well... never thought i would start a blog myself... always find the idea weird... anyway guess i'm always lagging behind technology... rem the first time i heard the term 'blog'... was when my young cousin ask me 'do u blog?' i was like.. 'wat?!?!' wonder is it cos i'm terribly lagging behind or just tat i'm getting old and it's the generation gap thingy...

hmm... decided to enter something today cos realise something new today... that i am not exactly the expressive sort... not tat it took me so long to realise but today it just strike me straight in the face so i gave it some thought... and realise.. ya... there are quite a few occasions that i can relate to that shows it... ok.. was watching ice age 2 with a fren... and he suddenly ask me if the show was boring me... and i said no... in fact i do find the show quite interesting and entertaining... but i guess he just finds it weird tat i don burst out laughing since it's supposed to be a funny cartoon... well.. it's then tat i realise there's more going on in my head than wat pple can see outwardly... maybe wat i feel and wat is shown might not tally at times.. guess it's not too good a thing bah... lacking in certain forms of interaction... or might there be some misunderstandings at times then? hmm... well... i guess i need a stronger stimulus to trigger my response... haha..

hmm... statue of The Thinker by Auguste Rodin comes to mind... haha.. we both have too many things going on in our brains... hahaha... ok... blowing it a little too big here...

signing off for the day..
