I have been asking myself lately if I really, truly, tremendously, extremely in love/crush with Teddy Bear. I know this sounds really dumb because on one of my previous entry, I had declared that I am no longer "in crush"/secretly in love with this other guy. However, how far have I let it go? Is Teddy just a spare? Why am not I that interested in Teddy anymore?
What is wrong with me???
Maybe I have been attracted to Wii. Hah! Good excuse!
Will think about it when I am less tired. Gonna wake up at 530am later!!! Yawn.
Having a slight ear infection. Sigh. First, conjunctivitis, then cough, then sore throat, then lose my voice, then sore throat and now, ear infection!!! Gee, something is terrible wrong with my personal hygiene!!!

The Duck Rice War
Date: 13th March 2009, Friday
Weather: Raining Heavily (the cats and dogs kind)
Yesterday, LG and I were to do lunch duty and therefore, we got to go for lunch around 1130am. As the kind souls we usually were, we asked some of staff what they would like to have for lunch so that we could buy their share back as it was raining very heavily.
After much discussion, they had decided that they would all have duck rice for lunch. Only two of them who had special request - one wanted duck noodles while the other did not want bean curd with the duck rice.
So, LG and I went to the foodcourt to enjoy a very entertaining lunch and bought the lunch for the rest of the colleagues.
Before long, LG was furious. The duck rice without beancurd was eaten by someone who did not have special request. Worse of all, the evidence of the "special order" duck rice as indicated by a rubber band was found near ... ...
As speculated, 2K had gone to pantry before most of the staff. She had opened, yes, opened every packet of the duck rice. Upon opening the packet of duck rice tied with the rubber band, she did not tie the rubber band back, and therefore, the rest who came later, did not know of the specially requested duck rice. Someone took the wrong packet without realising that it was the usual duck rice.
When LG and I found out what happened, we were furious:
1) 2K, did not apologize for the mistake
2) She did not tie the "special order" duck rice with the rubber band
3) 2K most probably opened every packet just to pick the packet with the most amount of meat!!!!!
4) 2K did not alert the staff when she found out that another colleague had taken a "strangely ordered" duck rice
Whatever it is, the fact remains that 2K had opened each and every packet of the duck rice meant for others. It was rude and unhygenic. It was also a very selfish act. What is wrong with 2K?
For someone who is nearing 40 in a few years' time, her actions are inconsiderate and selfish. We all know that 2K is very self-centered, bad tempered and perhaps ill-breed, but her acts of opening every packet of duck rice in order to "sieve out" the packet with the most amount of meat, is just beyond anyone's imagination!!! 2K had a degree and holds a relatively high position but she has no basic social etiquette at all!!!
Apologise aside, her constant checking on the rest of the colleagues is also intolerable. If the Supervisor does not even check on us, what is she, a mere fellow co-worker has, in her unremarkable and non-existent power, to check on us and report to the Supervisor? I am sure our Supervisor knows who are genuienly working and who is not.
Whatever it is, this incident shown that there are a number of people who have are just ill-breed by nature. It is a lesson learnt and definitely a reminder that I must not behave in such stone age manner.
Crazy 2k!!!

Conjunctivitis or Dry Eyes
I cannot believe that I am on MC because I have conjunctivitis, in layman's term - sore eye or red eye. I really cannot believe it. Conjunctivitis is all about personal hygiene and I cannot believe that I have been careless about personal hygiene.
Having conjunctivitis in a healthcare setup is a big issue as it is infectious. These cases have to be filed into certain system in case anyone I have come to contact with got infected, I am, hence, the "culprit". This is the reason why I am unhappy to be at home with conjunctivitis.
And because of the discomfort, I have been sleeping the whole of tuesday, wakin up only to instill eye drops, do some light reading and have my meals. In a way, it was a well deserved rest. I supposed the hectic schedule, work load and time spent at Facebook's Pet Society is finally making me abit unhealthy. So, is time I get a good rest and to drink plenty of water, knowing that the water is clean, unlike at work place, where one wonders if the tap is clean.
So, I was thinking of doing some light scrapbooking or some light reading and even doing up my thesis, but I have been lethargic... ...
So, that is for now. Gonna instill the eye drops and then the troublesome eye cream... ....

A Very Eventful February
Well, today marks the end of another month of 2009. It seems like time is passing very quickly and a bit slow at times. I do not know.
February has never pose much problems for me. Be it in school or at work but February in the year of 2009 was hectic - work, thesis writing, emotion and festivities.
While January began with much activity from seeing MayDay and then to Lunar New Year, February began with much work, mainly preparation for the coming audit. As the original in charge of the duty will not be around, I, as the reserve, will be "playing with the first team".
And then, there is the news that someone whom I have been having a terrible crush on will be leaving for greener pasture. Friends and colleagues have been asking me if I will miss him and I will be awfully dishonest if I said "no". I remembered being sad, angry, disappointed and irritated when I learnt that he was leaving the current workplace.
I always think that he will not leave the current workplace for any reasons. I used to argue with him when he told me that he will not be swayed by any reasons to move even when I tempted with a big paycheck. But now, it seems like he is indeed moving and I have won the argument that he will indeed move on one day.
Whatever it is, it only shows that there is no way we will ever get into any serious relationship. Our differences are drifting apart as the years go by. Perhaps, it is fortunate that we have never started on anything serious.
I know that I am not the right person for him. Naively, I thought I could change his mind about me but it is getting useless. (Thanks to all my friends who think I can make a differenece) He is kinder and much gentler to other women and I am, at best, an ear for him to rant. Come to think of it, I have never been a friend. He looks at things macroscopically while I can look at things from the macro aspect all the way to nanoscopic if need. I am not merticulous but analytical, maybe.
He is leaving us when this is going to be a time for us to grow and mature even more, professionally. Whatever his reasons are for leaving, I will wish him all the best. I can imagine that the next time he bump into any of us, we will all have become better professionals, equipped with better knowledge and skills he can ever think of.
So, this is my February.
Busy with work, thesis writing and tons of other things and events.
Nothing makes me happier now than spending time with my friends, reading, preparing my thesis, scrapbooking and keeping updated with events relating to my favourite football team and band.

Happy Lunar New Year
A Very Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!
Today is the second day of the lunar new year and at this time of writing, we are waiting for my sister to get herself ready for the Lunar New Year.
Yesterday marks the first day of the Lunar New Year and as our family tradition goes, it was omy family's turn to host the annual "Tan Clan" Lunar New Year family gathering. There was not much exciting except the usual gossips and the usual comparisons of one's sucess as defined by monetary gains?!?!?!
Aunty "Fishball" will traditionally rant on and on about her children's success, the size of the flats, how clever the grandchild is and so on and so forth. Yes, this is the one time you will see me unconventionally and extremely quiet. Most of the time, I am not interested in their lame conversation.
Aunty "Fishball", as tradition goes, will gladly tell you that it is enough to meet only once annually so that there will be much to catch up on. Catch up on what??? Enough??? What does she mean by enough!!!???? Is that what family gathering and ties mean to her??? What exactly is wrong with her??? But then again, since she is the much dreadful relative of ours, I agree with entirely with her that we should only meet once annually. Enough is enough... ...
And of course, there is this wife of my cousin who wanted to comment the LV and Prada of kuehs!!! Luckily before she could say anything, she saw the price tag on the bottles and decided to shut up before I glared her to blindness!!!! I know I am evil!!!
So, we are now waiting for my sister to get herself ready then we will visit my maternal grandparents and then there will be so much more to talk about. Even with so much family gatherings at my grands', there will always be much to talk about. My littelest cousin will have something to talk about, even telling you that she supports Obama!!!! And mind you, she's only 11!!!!
So, who says that meeting once annually is enough!!?? Well, meeting once annually is enough if one is not well like or if the person is the much dreadful relative!!!
Enough said.
Getting ready to travel soon.
Happy Lunar New Year!
May the year of the Ox brings much prosperity, good luck, good health, joy and happiness to all!!!

New Year's Day, Birthday, MayDay
The 10th Day of the new year, of the new month and the days are so full of activites.
I began the new day of 2009 without doing much. Just lazing around and getting some much needed rest. Hence, the new day of the new year was spent surfing the net, getting as much sleep as I could, reading the Twilight series and basically, just lazing around.
On the second day of 2009, I went to Agnes's place to help Xiu in "personalising" a present for her boyfriend. While I was busy watching tv, Xiu was made to complete her mini layout on the spot. This was also the first time that I discovered that Bedok hawker has many good food to offer for a very good price.
Third day - went to do some work and visited my grandparents after that.
Forth day - Date with MayDay
Seen here with some of the girls and a "new" friend
Ashin - lead vocalist/lyricist/composer of Mayday
Ashin "conducting" the crowd
MayDay's curtain callFifth day - "Emoing" upon knowing that my favourite England and Chelsea leftback has left for Manchester City.
Sixth day - Dining with my friends at Cedele for my birthday.
Seventh day - Dining with friends cum colleagues for my birthday.
Eigth day - Dining with friends at New York New York for my birthday.
Ninth day - Shopping.
Tenth day - Scrapbooking crop at Changi Simei CC.
Yes, these were my activies for the past ten days on top of having to go to work from Monday to Friday (fifth day to the nonth day). I know it seems crazy having one birthday dinner after another but I love them all. In fact, I would say that my birthday celebration began on 4th January 2009 when my friends and I went to attend Mayday's concert. It was an outdoor concert and there was a audience size of 6000 plus!!!
Ashin, the lead vocalist might have sound a bit hoarse having just recovered from his cold, he was still fantastic. The stand-in drummer was cool too. He was very young but he played very well. Not bad for a "stand-in".
Alright. Enjoy the pictures and I will continue more tomorrow.

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009
Well, it is a brand new year as of today.
It is a new day of the new year, of 2009 today bu I have spent the first day of 2009 catching up on my sleep and some reading up. I think the lack of sleep is giving my tummy some problems recently.
Let me see, what are some of the exciting things I have done in 2008:
Concerts Attended:
March - Maroon 5
April - MayDay
August - SodaGreen
October - A-Mei
Autograph Session Attended:
MayDay
SodaGreen
Jam Xiao JingTeng
Ashin of MayDay
Stone of MayDay
Scrapbooking Events:
Luxe Night at MWL
Marathon Style Scrapbooking Lesson with Kah-Mei Smith of FontWerks at Laines
Crop at Simei CC with Our Craft Place
Another exciting event had to be the inaugural F1 night race held in Singapore. I am glad I am also part of history making, which saw Fernando Alonso of Renault winning this race.
Oh, I really have to mention this. I have never seen any books which were out of stock so immediately and so desperately in need such a relatively short time. When was the last time we saw any books in such high demand? The Twilight series must have hit the best-selling list in many bookstores in Singapore. The books were out so soon and before you know it, you are on the waiting list for the books. I was nearly on the waiting list too but I am glad that I managed to get the entire set at MPH.
Yes, the appeal of Twilight has been overwhelming. Especially the demand of the books. I do not know that books can have such huge appeal. Not since the Harry Potter series. For now, I am waiting for my fan badges to arrive. Yes, I have bought a bag of Twilight badges online (for the serious fans). Hee hee... ... I am crazy!!!
What is in-store for me in 2009 then?
Loads. To name a few:
1) MayDay showcase at Stadium Green on Sunday, 4th January 2009
2) more scrapbooking works, classes and related events
3) F1 in Singapore
4) tour
That's about if for now. Can't think of anymore for now.
Back to Twilight reading again.
