My weekend was fantastic.
Went cycling with dasistas! on Saturday and almost covered the whole of ECP in 2 hours!
No really, it was quite a feat considering how long I haven't basked in sunlight/lifted my butt off the office chair @ the 30th level for the longest time. Yes, I barely made it up the slopes and twice, I got off the bicycle and PUSHED it up. The embarrasment; but the pedals refused to budge no matter how hard I tried.
Oh well, I suppose I cope far far better on level grounds than on slopes.
The rays beat down mercilessly and turned us all into
cooked lobsters. We were all slumped in Carl's Jr with very bitter and unsweetened ice tea after our mini feat; the fries and burgers looked extra yummylicious. I was being quite mean tempting sj because she was the only starving one having skipped lunch.
Something nasty happened during my morning lesson; I'm really glad to be alive and kicking. I felt so apologetic towards my instructor after that scare I could barely bring myself to laugh at his jokes for the remaining 45 minutes of the lesson.
Today's was okay! But I thought I caught my instructor dozing off a few times >.<
Went to town today and brought him around with my mum. Afterwhich we got a lift home! :) in his little "mrbean'scar". She actually told him about my U-turn flop- I didn't know where to hide my face.
My poorpoor legs - subjected to such extremes this weekend.
I apologised for the outburst and everything's blown over. :)
Administration matters are so nitty-gritty; very troublesome.
I had a really long phone chat with Celia yesterday, into the night. And today I woke up with a slight headache.
I've been seeing people from my p-sch again; 3 this week.
Month-end's going to be over soon, which can only mean good news. Except, I haven't analysed the cost centre report/finish uploading stuffs onto the system.
Schedule's extremely tight, with activities lined up. I have a slot booked that clashes with the camp. Oops.
Anyway, I'm eggcited. Whee!
Irritated and frustrated because.......
I know they both meant the best for me; thing is, they're both standing on really different grounds.
Everytime this matter's brought up, there'll always be a counter-attack.
I get it from both sides and it's extremely irritating when they both just go on and on.
“我不要听” probably wasn't the best choice of words to use under that circumstance. But it really got on my nerves this time.
I pissed them off big time. Double shits.
I hope tomorrow when we all wake up, it'll all blow over.
I splurged $16 bucks on a book yesterday. I'd just tagged along with my colleague cos' she had to return some books. She asked if I'm borrowing/buying any, and I told her "no" cos' I had lots of books collecting dust in my shelves.
Minutes later, I was in the queue, waiting to hand over my 16 bucks.
First thing that caught my eye was the pretty cover; the synopsis didn't look too bad either. So, my current read "It's a Kind of Magic" is going to replace my mp3 for a while.
I see quite a number of mentally-ill people around these days, and it is really quite sad.
The idea of travelling to France for a month with friends is indeed tempting.
Can't wait for 11Jul.
SMU doesn't want me! ><
I guess that's good; I'd be saved from the torture of having to decide between the 2.
On the other hand, the admissions handbook for freshmen from NTU's here, and I've just got the letter for Freshmen Orientation Camp.
The prospect of doing Psych is exciting though I haven't much of an idea what to expect.
I feel weird knowing that many p-sch/sec sch friends are doing accounts. It's ironic how someone like me who's got a dip in accts most prob ain't gonna do accts in U; and many others whom I didn't think would do accts ever are doing their deg in accts.
I wanna ask the gods tmr and see what they think of it, by "pua-puay-ing".
If you even know what that means... I know the "we control our destiny..." kinda thing, but I just wanted some opinion.
Haha!
K, I gotta get sleep.
Last night turned out slightly better than I imagined it to be.
All thanks to my brother who tagged along for dinner, I suppose it lessened the awkwardness. (p/s: my brother looked really adorable in that $2 lens-less specs from Daiso). I felt like poking at his eye the whole time through the frame. He did deserve some poking making me wait for 45 minutes!
We had steamboat and my dad ate like, ALOT. He was just stuffing the food down his throat because we had so much leftovers. My mum was really glad that my dad played a good host; she was amazed infact.
I don't know why but I think we ended up sitting next to each other in the car, during dinner, and supper.
Except after supper when we gave him a lift back I was seated right next to my father in front.
I was kinda scared because he was speeding the whole time, changing lanes and speeding up even when nearing the vehicles in front, then swerving left and right.
Then we took a walk around Clarke Quay, Singapore River, and that stretch to Merchant Court. I had my finger at the tall buildings that lined the Singapore River and rattled off the names. (Act smart because I think I could see better and managed to rattle whatever names I could see on the buildings actually :x )
Besides, he wouldn't know whether I've really gotten them right. Hehe!
I still don't know much about him, but he actually met my grandma cuz my mum brought him back to let him look at our flat here in Singapore. =.=
Ok, I did learn something about him, and that's that he eats very little (much lesser than me! or maybe he was just paiseh) and that he can stay up for 2 nights in a row without sleep to finish some serial. =/
The long walks did aid in digestion, and my legs nearly gave way from all that walking because I wore really high heels.
By the time I got home, I was just like tired out.
Need a sabbatical to reflect and recharge.
Someone else's gonna leave the company and it's uber-demoralising. Especially when those leaving are those you can get along with better. I don't understand how you can have 5 people leaving in 2-3 months. The turnover's just appalling and I think it's time they factor in departmental turnover as a consideration for staff appraisal.
Ok, time for bed.
Did a lot of catching up recently.
Hung out with BT interns! @ Creation just a while ago. Had a really satisfying dinner, complete with coffee and brownie w ice cream! I wanna try the apple crumble w ice cream the next time.
I thought I had to settle lunch with burgerking again when small jie surprised me with a sms asking me where to meet for lunch!
I was really glad :) Thank you SJ!
Anyway, I shouldn't get too happy because I WILL be having BK tomorrow.
My parents and brothers came back from Malacca yesterday with lots of goodies. They've got sunglasses! And mrssoon got me tees and bangles. Hahaha! I couldn't join them because they left on a Friday and I couldn't get off from work. :(
It just gets that slightly annoying.It rained cats and dogs while I was on the road today. Wiper's useless when it POURS. Couldn't really keep my steering wheel straight today, though the vehicle was. Felt weird. Don't know what got into me but I was driving more to the left of the lanes the whole time - I just couldn't keep the vehicle in the
centre of the lane.
Everytime we drive back to the circuit, I tend to do very wide turns. Thing is, the circuit lanes are much narrower than those on public roads - so I tend to do lots of weird stuffs once we're back in the circuit.
Handbrake for car 21's uber-tight. I had great difficulty releasing it and my instructor had to do the honours for me. I hope I don't get this same car when I'm doing slopes - I won't be able to pass that subject with that vehicle.
For the first time ever, I could fully comprehend what they complained about driving manual cars. I have never, till today, felt my legs that tired maintaining half-clutch position. For the last 20 mins of the lesson in the circuit, I maintained half-clutch position all the way because there was no one time I could speed up and gear up.
Nightmare. (p/s: it's got nothing to do with my "annoying" statement at the topmost)Nonetheless, I enjoyed myself :)
My weekends are brimming with activities; at least I have something to look forward to after 5 hair-pulling days a week.
This coming Monday has to be one of the most terrorising - I have to do CASHFLOW projection because my colleague has a paper on that day. Oh the horror.
You know, the fast-moving ones frighten me. I like to take it slow, maybe too slow for others, and hence, making those around me eager. But I think, the world's spinning at an alarming speed, (though it's still 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 12 months a year), I'd prefer if in some other matters, we could just take a step back, and take it slower...
Office politics is a touchy topic.
They ranted on and on during our 1 hour lunch break; I just quietly finished my penyet chicken.
The stress is mounting with imposed timelines; though ironically, the timelines were imposed to save me from staying till hours after sunset to clean up some others' mess.
I spent more than half a day on bank reconciliation; I am very much in doubt of my accounting abilities. Hate that I don't feel grounded, so undecided.
I feel extremely insecure. About everything. Though my family's great and so are my friends.
I think I need hugs :(
Out on the road again and it rained cats and dogs.
Even with the wiper, I couldn't really see clearly what was ahead. Anyway, he said I was less robotic and more humane. So I guess that's a good thing. Hahaha.
I wonder what SMU's doing with my application. =s
I forgot to call them today. Shits.
