weekend newsflash

I'm seriously in a delirious state now from having only 8 hrs of slp within 2 days. deprived of slp. yes thats wat it is.

Finally visited zouk with their refurbished look, and for once, i thought it looks gd. but the crowd at phuture is still so terrible!! u barely have any space to dance, and when u do, u r being pushed or bumped by either people making their way across the floor or clubbers who are jus being too inconsiderate to the fellow mates around them. we probably spent about an hr in there, and by the time we're done, it felt as if we've just finished battling in the world war. cant deny that the music is good, can they expand that freaking dance floor then? lol.

So aft a few hrs of rest, and i wasnt able to get myself to nap in the blardy afternoon, its off to Changi Airport to study for me Japanese. i wish the trick with burning up the notes and drinking it down will really work cos there's just so much memory work to do! and JLPT is coming soon... i really doubt i will pass it, but still wanna try give it my best shot!

Then it was another long night of fun at East Coast chalet where we had a farewell gathering for my beloved cousin Mark who's again leaving to pursue his studies, this time around off to Suzhou to obtain his masters... but i must say the night spent was incredibly worth it. i wouldnt have it exchanged for anything else. we spent the night sharing ghost stories (with the joker in me making fun out of all the spooky situations), went to have breakfast at Macs at 5am in the morning, headed back to chalet to have more fun at the games "zhong ji mi ma" and "murderer".

All in all, we had a great time chilling, and laughing together... though we didnt share any intimate moments sharing our deepest thoughts, but we noe that we will miss him. So Marko, do come back and visit us often. Even though we may have all grown up and perhaps have changed over the years, no matter what, you have been through some of my roughest part of life with me, and I just want you to know that it has been appreciated and will always be remembered. Take care of yourself and Meiyan in China! I hope this time around, you can really achieve your dreams... so set your wings and fly high.

On this note, Irene dear, I feel so bad to have missed your baby's shower today, only because I really need to get some hours of sleep otherwise will really go nuts. Promise I'll make it up to you okiez. *HUGS*

Alright... so much so for this hectic weekend... the weeks ahead are filled with invitations to baby showers, and more weddings to attend... the hole in my pocket is growing so big, i have a feeling it will not be mended anytime soon. therefore, all monetary donations/contributions will be welcomed. Muahahahaha... u noe im just kidding.

Till my next delirious moment then, chillz folks.

A Very Funny 'HR Memo'

imagine if u were to receive this memo from ur mgt one day.. lol! *flip*


To all Employees:
Effective January 2006

Dress Code
1. It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.

2. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

3. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's certificate as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Holiday Days
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Compassionate Leave
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use
1. Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.

2. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.

3. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.

4. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break
1. Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.

2. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

3. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. Remember we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Meaningful Article: DROPPING IN ON A FRIEND (by Dr James Dobson)

When was the last time you had friends drop
in unexpectedly for a visit? For many of us it's
been entirely too long. There was a time when
families made a regular habit of packing into
the car and driving over to a friend's home for
an afternoon of good conversation and a piece
of apple pie. It was one of life's special little
pleasures.

I'll never forget the many times as a boy I
would hear a knock on the door and scurry to
see who was there. The screen would crack
open a few inches, and a familiar voice would
echo through the halls. "Is anybody home?"

Mom would rush to put on a pot of coffee and
for the rest of the afternoon we'd sit and talk
? about nothing and about everything.

Finally, it came time for our friends to leave, and we'd
hug them goodbye, encouraging them to drop
in again sometime. Sadly, that kind of intimacy
is difficult to achieve in today's fast-paced
world. The pressures and busyness of life
have all but destroyed the sense of community
that was once common among families and
friends.

We seldom ? if ever ? drop in on
friends unannounced. And even if we did,
they'd probably have to cancel a string of
appointments in order to be with us. Thus we
go about our days, careening through life,
wondering why we don't have very many close
friendships.

Let me encourage you to take some time
out of each week to get together with friends.
Reach out to the people in your neighborhood.
I can't think of a better way to spend an
evening.

10 steps Of Success

Self -Belief Success
it begins in the mind.
One has to be a believer, first, if one wishes to be an achiever.
Never under-estimate yourself.
You have no idea how often can you surprise yourself.
So to begin with, let's get in the belief, "I Can."

Clarity of Vision
There is no point running around without knowing where one wants to reach.
you must get your job cut out.
Greatest achievers in the world have been visionaries.
Know exactly what you are best at and give it your best shot

Setting the Right Goals
The goals should be realistic .
The goals should be achievable ,
and yet challenging enough -
neither too easy nor too difficult -
something in the middle.

Be focused
If the sun's rays are focused on a piece of paper with a lens,
the intensity of the conce! ntrated energy burns the paper.
Focus on your objective will enhance the intensity of
the effects of your efforts

No Short Cuts to Success
There are no short cuts to success.
Divide your overall goals into smaller targets.
Divide your monthly plans into weekly and
weekly plans into daily plans and
see how simple can things be.

Take Risks
Without any risk no progress is possible.
Life comes to a stable standstill.
People who take chances are the people who get ahead in life.
The only way to reduce risk is to take risks.

Take the Initiative
People who take the initiative make the most of their lives.
Proactive people do not wait for success to happen;
rather they make it happen.
As they say, 'JUST DO IT'.

Never Hesitate to Struggle
No one has ever climbed a mountain just by looking at it.
Struggle, hard struggle, is a key to success

Own Responsibility
Failure to hit the bull's eye is never the fault of the target.
People, who own complete responsibility of their lives,
are the people who make the most of it.

Never Give Up
Many people who failed in life, where those who did not realize
how close they were to success when they gave up.
Success demands extra-ordinary amount of perseverance.

Never, never, give up.

Il Mare - OST Main Theme - We Must Say Goodbye Lyrics

the korean version of the lakehouse movie... the hopeless romantic in me just cant help but love it to bits.
Release me, I know the only way
To reach me, that is the way that it should be
So free me from all your memories
I know we must say goodbye
We must say goodbye
If you belong in this world
Then I know we?ll take the step to every road
Now alone, I realize you?re far ahead
Without knowing you were there still in my heart
I know we must say goodbye
We must say goodbye
Can?t we belong in this world
Then I?m sure you?d take me to your every road
Just one thin, not realizing you were there
Without knowing you were there still in your heart
I know we must say goodbye
We must say goodbye
I know we must say goodbye
Must we say goodbye

Request to God

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mails that had illegible addresses.

One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.

The letter read:

"Dear God,I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?
Sincerely,Edna"

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.

The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.

It read,

"Dear God,How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those bastards at the Post Office.
Sincerely yours Edna".

Accepting Yourself and Others

When you perceive others to be treating you badly, the usual reaction is to feel resentment and an urge to retaliate or assert yourself. Sometimes you can get some sort of recourse, at other times, assertion may be necessary simply to send a strong signal.

However, there are times when you just can't do anything and there seems to be no way for your steam to escape. You're agitated and hurt but you seem to have no power to feel better. For example, you may have a boss who is authoritarian and pushy. You could quit, but you really need the job right now. What to do?

Well, try not judging him. Try accepting him instead. Now, normally, whenever he makes an unreasonable demand or cutting remark, you'd feel how you were being treated. You'd take the attack personally and imagine talking back. You'd feel the heat flare at your temples and your heart race. You'd keep replaying that incident over and over in your mind and continue to feel upset about it later. Basically causing more damage to yourself than he could possibly afflict.

But once you release the judgement and start seeing your boss with compassion, you'll feel an amazing freedom. Your boss is no longer that forked-tongued monster whom you'd like to strangle, but a flawed human being who's struggling with his own demons. There are obviously catalysts in his life that have caused him to handle his world in this manner, nagging problems that continue to push him to behave this way. In a way, he really deserves your sympathy.

We all struggle physically, emotionally and spiritually to survive in this world. To do this, we use all the means available to us. Our resources may be different and other people will respond in different ways based on what they can grasp or hold onto. We can't understand what it's like to be them, so how can we judge them?

If you think he's being hard on you and you feel angry about it, then you're being equally hard on yourself and on him. But if you stop clamping up and really try and open your heart to people, you'll stop being a slave of negative emotions.

You can apply this to anyone who makes you feel upset - don't judge them, accept them. Accept yourself, build your self-esteem, love yourself too much to feel angry. Over time, your quiet confidence and "non-defense" of yourself will make others think twice about making your life difficult. They will learn that their words and actions have no impact on your peace of mind. You know what they say? "The best revenge is living well."

Well, I suppose revenge can be sweet.

One up for the ladies

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat.
He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true , but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

What Kind of Cool Are You?

Click to answer:
1. You'd rather be known as:
Super hot OR
Super cool

See how you score!


Me?
Apparently I'm Calm, Cool, and Collected. Ha.

Which means.....
Do your friends like to lean on your shoulder? Ask you for advice in life and love? Put you on speed-dial for emergencies? We bet they do. You're as balanced as they come. When it comes to making decisions, you're not afraid to take the time to weigh your options carefully in order to make the right choice. And it takes more than a few obstacles to rattle your cool head.The good news is that you've also got lots of heart, and you make sure that people know that you always have their backs. There's almost nothing more important to you than the people in your life, so being a support to them is the coolest thing around. Just like you.

Secret to a long and happy marriage....

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary.

Their domestic tranquillity had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.

"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the lady. "We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone too far when my husband's mule stumbled.

"My husband quietly said 'That's once.' We proceeded a little farther when the mule stumbled again. Once more my husband quietly said, 'That's twice.' We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled a third time.

My husband promptly removed a revolver from his pocket and shot him.
I started to protest over his treatment of the mule when he looked at me and quietly said 'That's once.'"

Annie Wan

This is hilarious!

Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan?
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.

Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!

Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this?

Caller: I'm Sam Wan. And I need to talk to Annie Wan! It's urgent.

Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what's this urgent matter about?

Caller: Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noel Wan was involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.

Operator: Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may! find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!

Caller: You are so rude! Who are you?

Operator: I'm Saw Lee.

Caller: Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!

ITS LUNAR NEW YEAR!

Hurray! Its the Lunar New Year again.... time of the year to have the biggest excuse to binge on goodies, have more shopping treats and collect more red packets! Wahoooooo..... but truth be told, ur value decreases with age. Keke. Yes its true. If you're still single and not married by the age of 30, some can forget about getting red packets. That's sad. Ha.

Anyway, thats just the bait to get us to do house visiting. At the same time, I am also looking forward to gatherings of relatives of whom we seldom get to meet (and convict ourselves to hours of "interrogation") - like do you have a bf? when r u getting married? duh. like our lives do not get any more interesting than that. :P it gets boring when you get 10 similar qns like tt in a day, i reckon it will be better if our answers were being recorded as well so we can play it over and over again.... heheh.

Well, thats it for me during the next few days. More visiting and binging... and hopefully more angbaos. Cheerz!

congratulations? MY ARSE!


Dear colleagues

I am pleased and proud to announce the promotion of XXX to the position of Project Director (LS Events).

For the last few months, XX has more than held fort for this position and has grown to be the asset we need to spearhead and bring the LS events to further heights. Do join me in congratulating her on her appointment.

Regards
Chief Executive


^^ words like "asset" and "spearhead and bring the LS events to further heights" - overstatement. earlier on during the day, this news was being mentioned at one of the meetings... but after it was being said, it was pure total sweet silence... HAHAHAH. imagine that! no one even said a word of congrats or gave an indication tt it's a piece of happy news. but think we care? No, we don't give a shit.

Its a brand new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone out there!

Another year just wheezed past like that... another yr older and hopefully wiser too... keke =P

Guess what?! Our office has decided to put an end to IM in the office, no MSN, yahoo, ICQ or wadevers not... "WOH GNIROB!" [read it backwards ;)] hehehe... kinda attracted to this trick from Cecilia Ahern's new book - "If you could see me now". another brillant works of hers... truly enjoy reading it... not the kind that guys will fancy (not that they read anyway, though I happen to noe one and tts my baby hee)... but definitely this is a must-read for ladies. Nice!

From the internationally bestselling author of PS, I LOVE YOU, a lively and romantic novel about two lost souls who find each other in the most unexpected way. Everything in Elizabeth Egan?s life has its place, from the espresso cups in her gleaming kitchen to the swatches and paint pots of her interior design business. Order and precision keep life under control?and keep Elizabeth?s heart from the pain and hurt she has suffered in the past. Being a reluctant mother to her six-year-old nephew while trying to keep her business on track is a full-time job for Elizabeth, and one that leaves little room for error?or fun.

Until, one day, Ivan unexpectedly comes into their lives. The mysterious Ivan is carefree, spontaneous and always looking for adventure?everything that Elizabeth is not. If You Could See Me Now is the extraordinary tale of Ivan and Elizabeth. Of how Ivan meets the love of his life before she even sees him, and how he teaches her that life is only worth living when it's blindingly colourful and the occasional mess. Yet just when Elizabeth is starting to trust him, it turns out that Ivan isn't at all who she thought he was.Playful and at times intensely moving, this is a novel about how seeing isn't always believing. Full of Cecelia Ahern?s trademark warmth and poignancy, If You Could See Me Now is a story of enormous heart--and just a little bit of magic.

OK, i kind of side tracked there... well ya as i was saying our office have blocked all IM programs... well i guess this is kinda like the last resort as they have already sent out multiple warnings which have fell on deaf ears... and now we'll have to once again use email as the only form of communication for our gossip sessions (if any). did i mention we're quite devastated? lol.

alright... gotta get back to work now... more to come in the months ahead but well wth... bring it on... guess will just have to handle the shit one at a time... anyway whats new right? we can already foresee more shit, more work, more miscommunications, and more shift-blaming... so if there's a course out there on "how to save your own ass effectively"... pls sign me up. i'll be more than willing to take it on. ha.

btw my photos have already been uploaded, if you have not been venturing out into my photo album, here's the direct links:

    the last couple of mths

    last couple of mths.... only 1 word to describe it... hectic... totally crazy too... my colleague and me were practically clocking in more than 12hrs of work almost every day... i wonder how we survived... haha. with my vietnam nightmare over, i now have my sg show to "look forward" to... more OTs... more wkends burned.... dont even want to think about it -.-"

    so... what have i been up to? work work and more work... been to ho chi minh city, vietnam for a week for the exhibition that i was handling... overall good show, and great exposure even though its quite an "experience" to be working with *ahem* the locals. well lets just put it as language barriers... sometimes i just wish i could speak Vietnamese in an instance so that they would be able to understand what i'm trying to put across... otherwise most of the time, i'll be wondering if they really understood me cos they have the tendency to nod their heads and reply "okok" and you could get something else that's totally not "ok"! therefore in the process, alot of patience will be required in communicating with them in order to ensure that things will be done your way. overall, the Vietnamese are really friendly people and helpful too.

    the trip to Vietnam was pretty enjoyable.... our boss even graciously extended a 1-day stay for some of us... hehe... so that we can go shopping =P .... and believe me when i say tailoring in Vietnam is VERY cheap... you get the material from their local markets or one of their well known touristic place, Ben Thanh market.... and then proceed to the tailor to get the kind of tops/ dresses/ pants that you'd like tailored.... their workmanship only costs (avgly) SGD10.00. Any idea how cheap that is??? It means we can get a pair of pants tailored (including marerial & workmanship) for as low as SGD21.00!! With a pair of Mango pants that's purchased in SG, you can get 5 pairs of pants there, TAILORED to fit you. now thats cheep!!

    bcos this is my first time there, well i didnt go totally crazy... but before my next trip, i'll be sure to do enough research so that i'll be able to do my shopping there... keke. totally worthwhile manz.

    generally, (besides those at the exhibition halls & having to co-share the room with someone on the top of my "hate" list at the moment), life is pretty slow paced and relaxed over there. it is good to be able to enjoy good food every day, the only regret is not being able to try the delicious lobster which my colleagues were raving about.... haha.

    i fell sick thou, the moment i touched down in sg... so was in pretty bad shape but slowly recuperating now and trying to get back to life here back in sg... it felt so different to be back again after this stint in Vietnam (even though it was only for a week)...

    and then we had our annual D&D yesterday evening... the theme was Shanghai Night (1940s).... thanks to the wonderful support of my beloved colleagues, i managed to get the best-dressed award! hahaha... like finally, i was nominated twice in the past but never did manage to get the top prize. SO, you must be thinking what I was dressed in?? Heheh.... i took loads of pictures with all of them... even thou none of the cameras belonged to me, so will have to wait for all of them to download and forward the pictures to me... and if you're interested to know what i was dressed up in, well stay tuned until i have downloaded all the pictures yeah? promise i wont take too long... hehe, will also include the pictures of those that was taken during my Vietnam trip... many many act cute pictures, but well the owner of this blog is by nature "kawaii" eh? hahahahah~

    A soulful Relationship

    An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye."

    Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs.

    Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important.

    Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet pee ves, and differences will become more obvious.

    If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you.

    You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths.

    You are two unique individuals who have decided to share a life together. Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other?

    Do you bring out the best of each other?
    Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship?
    Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?
    You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her.
    You can't make someone love you or make someone stay.
    If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life", you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.
    Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship.
    Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship. What keeps a relationship strong?
    Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note).
    Leave a nice message on their voicemail or send a nice email.
    Sharing common goals and interests.
    Growth is important.
    Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure.
    Allow your mate to have outside interest.
    You can't always be together.
    Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment.
    Don't try to control one another.
    Learn each other's family situation.
    Respect his or her parents regardless.
    Don't put pressure on each other for material goods.
    Remember for richer or for poorer.

    If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion.

    " Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think." The grass withers, the flowers fades, but the word of God stands forever.

    Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight?

    Always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary.

    The difference between 'United' and 'Unt ied' is where you put the "i".Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    invisibility

    3 October 2005: 6+ (evening time)

    H asked me if I will be staying late. I replied saying mebbe, why?

    And he said: In that case, can you wait for me to be back? I need you to prepare some stuff for my XX meeting tomorrow as I won't be in the whole morning.

    So I waited.

    At about 6+, I saw H back in the office, but he went into S room immediately to discuss some stuff. Not wanting to disturb them, I just waited. After which, I didn't realised when H came out of the room, but S said goodbye to me at 8+. That was when I noticed their discussion was over. And it struck me that H might have left too. Went to check and the empty room, with the lightings switched off, confirmed my suspicions.

    I text him:
    "u very nice leh. u got me to wait and haven't told me what you needed for the mtg tmr, and u just left without telling me."

    He replied after a very long while:
    "Celine, my most sincere apology".

    Apology, my arse. Do.not.take.me.for.granted! I am really getting very frustrated with this bunch of mgt contracted with the id10t disease. ARGH!

    Hi D,

    I?m not sure if you have another set of latest design for the XXX Pav apart from the set that I have (which was received in July).

    Could you help me print out 2 sets of their latest design in colour please? This is for the sales meeting with XXX organisation tomorrow morning.

    Thanks!
    Celine
