Wrapping up 2009

很多变化的2009。  年头休息一阵子。从新出发，在新的工作环竟，面对新面孔。我还适应不错。

失落， 有。尤其当自己知道自己的生理状况，需安抚心情。幸身边有家人和朋友的陪伴。

遗憾，也有。失去了一份友谊。

开心，收养了Tigger.  Tiong-san 和我很喜欢它。Tiong-san超爱跟它聊天。

希望明年会更好。。。。。。。。。。。。。

JIA YOU, GUANG GUANG!!

First time pickup

It was my first time to drive to pick Tiong san from work yesterday night.  I think is a great achievement :)  Lucky no hiccuups, just forgot to turn on the headlights.

Did i tell u I got a B in MM assignment?  Yes, it is.. At first, thought i may get a A, but din meet lecturer's expectations in the end.  Anyway, in his 13 yrs of teaching, our class is the 1st to have 'B' for all.

Yesterday afternoon was a terrible moment.  i feel nasuseaus after back from lunch.  Probably was due to the gust of wind blowing me at the subay in Central.  Start my 1st vomit straight after return to office.  Then I requested to leave office early and I vomit subway sandwich again before I left the premise.  When I finally reach clinic after a long waiting for cab, I went for 3rd vomit before I can registered for consultation.  Then waited 1 hr plus when I vomitted the 4th time at the sickbed.  Feeling terrible when my body is not within my control.  Had diarrhea as well, haizzz.  Doc said i kena gastric virus attack, all happened so quick.  Mine is a weak stomach lo.

Feeling much better today, but still need to avoid dairy products, cheese and chili.  Head still spinning, but not as bad as ytd.  This month, not a good month for me...

F1 rock concert first night

Thanks to Hilda, giving the free tix to watch it at fort canning.  I invited my bro, Kaixuan to watch it with me. Really excited to watch jacky cheung, amit ( ah mei) and soda green.  But but, the disappointment is the production.. I guess cruz teng can express better than i do http://www.cruzteng.com/.  Hahaha, becos he knows more than me.  Interesting to read his blog.

I did enjoy the concert, contented to see soda green, amit and jacky cheung.  But I was too tired to stand throughout the whole concert.  Glad to be part of it.

Here are some potos.

Long weekend ahead....

Going for the last jab this saturday. I have been yearning for this to come for the past 3 months. After taking this jab, I still need to wait the effect to go away for the next 2 months, before Tiong-san and I moving on to the next step.

I believe endurance is a test that God is putting me thru. The weird body temperature and other symptoms that occurred, caused some distubance to Tiong-san and I. With his support and understanding, I can endure to go thru this phrase till now. But I'm thinking I'm not doing a good job in many ways as his spouse in this period.

Both of us enjoyed watching 命中注定我爱你. I'm surprise he likes it too. He enjoyed the jokes in the scenes and the funny characters in the story. Finally, we finished the show last night. We thought there some alikeness of the main roles and us. hahahaha

I just gotten HR assignment result last friday. I actually expected a B grade for it. It is a blessing to get a 'A" grade when John announced it. I sms my teammate who missed the class and guess what he replied? He sms "I must be daydreaming, how I make this assumption la. the lecturer has not post the grade online." Hahaha, i then know he forgot the date for the last HR lesson. I wonder if he was surprised by the result after the feedbacks from John. I really satisfied with the result. Hee hee.

After assignments done, time to prepare for exams. Left 2 more weeks and I haven set the mood to study. gosh! I must cut away all the distractions after this weekend and buck up lo.
Jia you, han hong guang!

Happy days

Thursday was a happy day. The reason behind was I recevied a simple comment on my marketing assignment. When I open my email to read the lecturer's comment after he vet thru, I just thrilled! He wrote something like this: I just have one comment, dun do anything further, just submit. Great stuff... I just could not believe it with my own eyes. I share the news to tiong-san and other team members. It's cool to hear it. I was entirely good mood the whole day.
Friday was my shopping day, went to my fav shopping spot, far east plaza. I shopped for purpose, buying white dress to be my fren's AD's sister. Instead of getting white dress, I bought 1 grey dress and 1 cardi. Tiong-san said I sway away from my purpose, house have no place to put more clothes. I couldn't keep my own promise when comes to shopping. :p
Saturday will be a good day too. Watching 'the propsal' tonight, and continue to hunt the white dress. Time to submit my MM assignment.

Wow Wow

Wow wow, a month i have not post anything here. Too occupied by hubby, assignments, lesson, work. I began to miss the life when no part time course, stay at home with Tiong-san enjoying our times together. Sometimes I just too tired, did not spend enough quality time with him.. He is an understanding hubby, helping me out on some chores at home. :)

Now I must learn to juggle my time well. Time management is something I have to master, juggling my personal life, work and study at the same time. But first of all, i must not be to perfectionist, can't set too high standards for myself. I dun wish to stress myself, cos health more important. There are other priorities that come later to accomplish. Must tell myself to take it easy.

I like both HRM and MM modules, first time do assignments for both is quite tough. But I think I still doing ok. Just keep up momentum :) Enrich my knowledge, brush up my soft and written skills and hope to improve my ability in handling life and work.

By the way, I have taken my 3rd jab. Last jab to go on next month and the menopause effect will last 2 more months. When seeing others having new member on the way, can't help feeling useless and helpless at times.

What a morning...

Weather was cool when I stepped out of the house, spotted dog faeces at my estate. Many owners didn't bother to clean their dogs' business, resulted town council issued a notice to fine these inconsiderate people.

When I reached city hall, rain was pouring and I didn't have a brolly with me. Luckily, a nice lady sheltered me to capitol building. I must really thank her. She made my day.

Here, I like to share my incident happened yesterday. Well, it started when I was the 2nd last person to leave office. I decided to switch off part of the lights, accidentally switch off the light where the last person sitted. This last person is an uncle, immediately gave me a sullen face, total blackout look. Of cos, I apologized back, then asked him if the printer needed to switch. You know this rude, low eq uncle replied (with sullen face): " Dun bother to do anything!" I din replied back and left the office feeling so ill-treated. I know since my 1st day, he is hostile to me for no reason. Probably it could due to my position is 1 level higher than him. He is those kind who speaks very nicely to his comrades and the managers and above, and treats bluntly to those he dislike. I'm not 小气吧？

Anyway, my intention is to speak out the unhappy moment and move on to make the rest of my day more fufilling. Oh, the natural phenomena - solar eclipse occurs today but Singapore dun get to experience much. How i wish to go to Szechuan there to catch a glimpse of it.

TGIF :)

Yo, I like to recommend a bakery that I think is pretty homemade feel. I believe people in Shaw Tower or nearby know which shop I refer. The shop name is Wooden Spoon, opened by a friendly auntie. Situated at level 1, opp of Loy Thai in Shaw Tower.

I tried her pandan raisin muffin, pretty unique and tastes good. I also bought her mocha mini cookies too, worth to try. She told me her fav's raisin scone was great and it sold out pretty fast. Her business was so good during lunch that not much was left.

By the way, I just knew the Sofra turkish restaurant at level 2 was closed. Too bad that I have not have the chance to try their food. :(

No matter how bad is the economic, people still need to fill up the stomach. Don't sell food at high price, earn what people can offer and still can make profit from there.

Strange body temperature

So fast, I'm going back to work tomorrow after a month rest at home. For the past month, I would say I adjusted my feelings from the downside. Give myself a good rest at home. There are lots of times I with myself, lucky me that I didn't give myself too much thinking, broad about the matter. Instead, I look forward to spend my time on giving myself nutritional food, watch nice videos and challenge myself in FB to break new records.

What changes is I watch out what I eat. I try to cut down chicken wings, especially. Health is important, I want people around me to be healthy too. I also watch out Tiong-san diet too. Doing my best to give him healthy food, making sure his well-being. The reason is we have a long way to walk together.

O yes, these days my body temperature is slight differ. It could due to the injection I took. My gynae told us about the symptoms I might encountered, experience higher body temperature, moods change etc. Hmm, I think I just put it as my observation. 3 more injections to go.

1 year older

Hmmm, right.. my last twenties this year. But i think I oredi in thirties, is a good sign, i guess.

By the way, next week I should be able to go back to work after this long MC. The key-holes wound are healing, the stitches soon to be fully absorbed. :) I have been watching many shows in this period.
Japan drama series - Boss, Mr brain
Taiwan drama series - 败犬女王
On-going movie - Quantum of Solace, Detroit Metal City

I have been crazily playing bejewel and typing maniac in facebook during this period to keep me going on too. obessed! siao me!

But as my new course kick starts, I dun think I have the time to do these stuff so much. Good enough...

Menopause treament

My bandages removed. My treatment starts today... I may have symtoms like hot rash, mood swings etc...The injection at my ass's muscle is painful.

Feels good to be home

I tot 10 th june end the problem that dwells me for the past weeks. When i admitted to TMC at 1 plus in the afternoon. The procedure that happened next reacted in a fast manner. I think I didn't have the time to build up the emotions of fear or nervous. I know I fall asleep very soon. By the time I half awake, the ops was over. At the same time, feeling nausesous on my head and pain at my lower adomen. Vomit is a SOP after the ops since I was on GA. Luckily, i din eat for for a day, so nothing much for me to puke. Another side effect was the shoulder pain, I can't explain why it will have after the Laparoscopy ops.

Anyway, I'm anxious to see my gynae Dr Woo Bit Hwa after the surgery but he din turn up the whole night. I'm glad and blessed that all the while Tiong-san was with me, feeling more assurance at his presence. He gave me 3 big beautiful, lovely sunflowers to cheer his brave gal. He was sweet in his own way. I'm proud to be his brave gal. :)

After the ops, I din have the urge to go toilet. The nurses took turn to gave me a on-bed bowel to urinate... lol.. i not used to that thing. I was on the IV actually, rightfully I should have a lot to urinate. Only till late late night, when my giddyness was gone and I managed to get out of the bed and have a long pee in the toilet. So good...

The next morning, I'm anxious to see gynae and wanted to get discharge soon. Little did I expect that what he was going to tell me embarks a new challenge Tiong-san and I was about to face. Though all my big blood cyst were removed, the damage it causes was difficult to repair. My fallopian tubes are blocked which the chances of natural pregnancy is slim. The option is to go thru the IVF. Other than that, there are still tiny bits of blood cysts along the passage which can't be remove during the ops. Therefore, I have to go thru another treatment which I may experience artificial menopause for the next few months.

At that moment, I couldn't hold back my tears in front of the gynae. The thought that I having slim chances for a baby really sadden me. I feel sorry for Tiong-san that our wish to have a bb is not easily fulfiled. He told me to believe in miracle, to believe in hope. I believe it will be a long journey for us to face the challenge ahead, but we withstand the challenge with our optimism, courage faith and love. I have to believe.

Back home today, feels good and warmth even just the 2 of us. These days will be hard for him, got to take care of me, himself and work. We spent a lot of money on the ops, have to save a lot for the future.

It has been a month...

Started work more than a month, do i miss the old days? A little bit...Maybe because I'm at work, honeymoon stage, feeling bore at bit :P..

This month plus, at least i had catching up with ex-colleagues, friends during lunch hr and after work. Something meaningful and enjoyable that i had done. :) Updating each other status, how they recently going on.

Friends come and go too...One of my piano mate, Choo will be going to KL for her dream job. She will be ending her piano lesson this month. She has been so spontaneous in the class, our class rep dedicately. Hope she will continue this passion with her in KL. Next time, I go KL, she can be my guide. :) Ying going back to Australia real soon, I aim to go visit the place she will be living, heee hee... She will be there for a long period, i hope she can settle down quickly in no time. I miss her... The last shopping with her was so enjoyable, she got 3 belts, and i gotten 1 for myself, hahaha....Also, I bought a CK shirt for Tiong-san too at the Isetan sale, worth it! hee hee

Today's lunch went to the Rabbit brand Restuarant at the Circular Road, kx had a mini lobster set meal and I ordered tom yam fish maw with tung hoon. I like the so-called chili, appetitizing and fits nicely with the fish maw.. but the fish maw a bit tough and smaller size...overrall still ok.. next time I can treat Tiong-san lobster at an affordable price, hee hee...

The soup spoon's soup is something I enjoys during lunch hr, but is a bit pricey. I have it occasionally, so far I tried the pumpkin and french onion... I like both, :) although not much variety inside, hahaha.. but the taste is good, fufiling that no wonder so many patrons visited it during lunch....

Not much activities today in office, doing some reading on VBA now. Hoping to find some useful notes on the web, if not I got to ask Tiong-san tonight.

DOS

It has been 3 weeks that i started to work in DOS (Department of Statistic). Begins again the office hours, need to wake at 7am from mon to fri.. I have been puntucal so far :) I hope to keep it going.

Everything arounds me is adjusting to the new environment....

FOH - Da Dai Ji

U know what's dramabox?  Dramabox is a mandrain theatre organisation, been ard for more than 10 yrs.  I knew about them when my poly times, and after 8 yrs + i start to look out for them recently.  Happened when Ying ask me to watch the "Da Dai Ji" by dramabox, which I couldn't make it.  Just I surf their website, joined their mailing list and signed for volunteer work.

Coincidence that Ying's younger sis, Jiayi is an intern for dramabox and co-ordinate for FOH preparation work.  So I volunteered for 2 days consecutively this week, doing ticketing and ushering.  It was fun, and missed the days in poly doing such activities with dramagrp.  Fortunately, i got to see the show as well for 1 night.   O, the show held @Arthouse (old parliament), I quite like the place and ambience there.  But the aircon unit din work well for 1 of the show, maybe becos the top level is under renovation work.

Drama38 steamboat gathering

The gathering took place at my home on 8 Feb, so I'm in-charge of the food we ate.  I'm glad and honor to hold the gathering at my place, and saw my friends enjoyed the food and jolly chatting together at the dinning table.  Though there was quite a lot of cleaning to be done.  But I enjoyed to host for it.

The gals complimented Tiong-san's cutting skills was good when they saw the fish cut in even pieces.  My most proud were the marinaded chicken and pork shabu, the flavour was just nice.  I marinaded them with 2 tablespoon of hua tiao wine, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.  Leave it overnight in the fridge.  The next day just added the bbq sauce/teriyaki sauce in 1-2 hrs  advance.

Specially thanks to ying, yun, celine, kaixuan, qb and fabian for finishing the food completely, including the less popular tang oh.  

P.S to Qb, U must eat more veg, it's no good u din cosume veg, no fibre hard to slim down.

VDay post

We spent in a simple manner.  Went to hortpark, walked all the way to Vivocity trailing on the southern ridges path for the morning.  Such coincidence, met up old frens married on Vday.   We took a photo together to our unique met-up.  Congrats to the newly wed, Yinghao and Liqing.  Had a sushi tei dinner at east coast park.  As usual everywhere was crowded.  

No present was given, but I prepared a japanese cheesecake 

and he made us french toast in the morning for breakfast.  Simple sweetness or simple nice tots.

The Japanese series accompanied me these months

Japanese Dramas

1. Gokusen 1 - Finished
   
2. Gokusen 2 - Finished
   
3. Hana dori Dango (F4) 1 - Finished
   
4. Hana dori Dango 2 - Finished
   
5. Hana dori Dango Final - Finished
   
6. Galileo - Finished
   
7. Gokusen 3 - Finished
   
8. Detective Connan Special - Finished
9. Karei Naru Ichizoku - Finished
   

F4, F4, seen taiwan version, tot jap will be about the same. No, I'm attracted to the characters, though storyline more or less there, but shorter and faster pace. The characters were fresher, more outstanding and more focus. Of course, I get to know who are the current jap hot artitises. In fact, I prefer Japan version than taiwan or korean.


Gokusen reminds me of Onizuka. Similar stories but different kind teacher. I enjoyed school dramas as always.


Detective dramas were interesting to watch too. The intelligent ones are always cool, attractive and weird. Their sidekicks are clumsy or silly or comically funny. Anywhere, it's something about science. Galileo and Detective Connan are highly recommended.

Uncertainties and unknown

A fresh year ahead, many to accomplished, yet I'm not sure whether to start on which.  I know my priority is family planning now.  Other than that, the rest of it was uncertain.  I point this out to Tiong-san before.  I think we got to take thing 1 step at a time. Meanwhile, I looking out for job openings, see what's available.

New year, new look for the blog.  Anticipate the change, accept the change and act on it.
