Today is the last day of 2012, not going to do much ... Just stay at home and let the minute passed ... Let time slowly crawl into 2013 ...
Many things need to be considered ...
To stay or to go ?
Is job a job or is it for money ..
The rest let it fall in place ...
Proud of myself the ways I had grown ... Not sure what next year will be ... Will see ...
Time = growing older ? Its works better for the kids, not for people at my age ... Very soon, I will leave the 2X. Shall not think about it, I will enjoy myself as long as I want to ...

12 more days to christmas ...
It's been long since I last updated my blog. The last time I blogged about was about my sister's wedding. Today, I decided to blog because my company gave all of us a galaxy tab ! Something happy to share. I decided to give it to my Dad because he wanted an Ipad. I already have an Ipad. So he can decide what he wants to do with it. Sell and use the cash to buy a new Ipad or use the tab.
Tomorrow I will be going for my department Christmas dinner. Hope the food will be good. It is a last minute notice because my French boss insisted that we must have a department Christmas meal. Anyways, I will try to sit as far from him as possible. At least I can eat comfortably. He also insisted that there must be wine. I am not a fan of wine, I only like dessert wine which are very very sweet and does not have any alcohol taste.
I had more or less settled all my friend's Christmas present and had also got myself Christmas present too ! I was buying myself a gift and stated my intention clearly to the SAs at the counter. She even offered to wrap it up for me even thou I am just buying for myself. So nice of her.
Last Saturday, I went out for Christmas gift shopping with two friends. I wanted to buy something for my happy kids. Patricia recommended I should get flash cards instead of books for Gerlyn. Initially, I wanted to get Gerlyn drawing board and crayons but Bee Ee said better not. I went to the cashier to pay for the flash cards, the cashier say currently they are having this promo whereby if I get $4 off and it comes with color pencils. What a good buy ! I also bumped into my current favorite chef. He was with his wife and kid. Oh my, Singapore is so small.
After that we went to Lot 1 because super mum brought her two kids out. I feel so happy seeing them. Gerlyn still don't really interact with us. But will want us to bring her out for a walk. Lenon started walking but no so stable. Super cute to walk with him and I have to be very alert. He like to touch things and I have to stop him. I walk pass the atrium and realized they are some Dora, the explorer books. I decided to get Gerlyn a coloring book so that she can color with her new color pencils.
This week is coming to the end. Soon, this year will also come to an end. Many question yet to be answered, to stay or to go, to meet or not, I guess some day some how, I will have the answer.

The wedding ceremony is finally over ...
My sister's wedding ceremony is finally over ... One thing off my family's mind ... :)
Yesterday was a crazy day for us. Everything was in the rush. The groom was super gan jiong ... He called promptly at 8am to pick the bride but all of us was not ready. And everything after was a mad rush. I realized it doesn't matter how how I look on that day, did a basic make up and rush off and proceed with the gate crashing . The whole thing is like mad rush.Till the night time everything came to an end ...
Today, I spend my time cleaning and tidying. Thought I slept at 2 am yesterday, I still wake up at 9ish this morning. I am so glad I took leave tomorrow. At least, I can rest 1 more day.
Till then~ ... Head can't think anymore ...

3 days before my sister's wedding
I am on annual leave today till next Monday for my my sister's wedding. Many people asked me, it's my sister wedding, not mine. WHY ! am I taking leave. Well, because I have relatives coming down from Malaysia tomorrow. I need to do some packing of my room and entertaining the guest tomorrow because my parents would not be free and do some personal grooming today.
I went for underarms waxing and face threading. Underarm hard waxing is not as pain as I thought, almost painless. I always do threading at Browhaus and Strip is her sister company. So I decided to do my waxing there. Prior to today, I had already went for my full arm and half lower leg waxing, and like their service. My skin is kind of sensitive, it got a little itchy, I guess that's the price to pay. Today, I went for underarms hard waxing and it was alright. After the waxing, the therapist uses the tweezers to remove hairs that cannot be removed by the wax. My underarms feels so clean ... :)
Next, I went for my full face threading. I got quite used to threading so the pain is still bearable to me. However, I kept crying while threading. The therapist was very carefully and make sure my whole face is well-threaded and she is did not miss out any spot. There is a price to pay for beauty.
After I meet my clique for dinner at Bukit Timah Shopping Center. We had good Korean food ! They kept saying Thank in Korean and when I said it in English, they said I am wrong. The Korean craze lasted for some time. They are people I will always have laughs with no matter how old we are going to be.
Tomorrow, I will be doing my nails. My first time doing gelish 3D nail art. I am so excited ! I need to clean my brush just in case I get too busy ... Till then ~

Changed !
I finally changed my blog skin after donkey years.
Starting to be adapt and embrace changes ... I looked at my blog and decided its time for a change and some updating. I started my morning with changes my blog template and I never look back any more.
Time really flies ! I had been working for 7 months and still counting. Month of November had started, should I start applying for jobs again ? I am comfortable in where I am but it is not what I want do go. Felt a bit bad to have my degree gone to waste.
My work life is hellish for the first 3-4 months till my manager came in. She is much more experience than my lead. She often teach me stuff and helps me to sort out all doubts. She will take the initiative to help me sort out stuff as I am inexperience and not sure about the process; what to expect, what are the right question to ask. She makes me want to do my best. I spend one whole week doing overtime to get the things out. I feel happy and accomplished.
My lunch group has gone up from 2 pax to 4 pax. It used to be just me and my colleague. But one day, it started having one more and she brought along another one. More laughs during lunch but deciding on where to have lunch is a headache. Perks of working in Tanjong Pagar are other than the central location, there are quite a bit of good food ranges and the prices from 3ish to 20ish dollars. So there is always something to fit your mood and budget.
My happy kids are growing up fast ! Gerlyn started learning to sing and Lenon started walking ... Sometimes I bump into the happy kids at Yew Tee Point and they really made my day ! =) There are lots of ups and downs for these kids, Gerlyn got scald by hot water and Lennon went to hospital twice. His recent visit to the hospital made me laugh a little. His mum is worried but he is happy in the hospital. He even tried to grab the balloon from the neighboring bed. The couple from the neighboring bed bought him one instead. He was happily playing with it.
Next weekend, it will be a happening event for my sister. She is FINALLY getting marry ! Room = Mine, Shoe Rack = also Mine. But I foresee she is coming back often. Anyways, so happy for her, after been in the relationship for 7 years, she is getting married ! As for me, I have to be in control and compose on that day to help around. I will be mad busy, my parents suddenly excited about themselves and became overboard at times. I have to constantly remind them that it's not their wedding.
Enjoying my last free weekend ... Till after sister's wedding ...

A new post before I start the next phase of my life ...
I accidentally clicked on my own blog and realized its been long since I last update. Time really files and its time for the next phase of my life. I do update my Facebook regularly because it is so convenient and it just a sentence or two or even post picture; I am able to describe how I am feeling or stuff along that line.
Blogging to me its like going through a reflection process, looking back from the time I last blog and also leaving more detailed description of how I felt after a event. I only blog when I have the time thus I can think through things more thoroughly ... AWESOME ... It's being such a long time since I last used this word ! X)
Since, I last blogged, several important events has passed, packing and shipping my stuff back to Singapore, parents coming to Melbourne and help me with the rest of my stuff, attending my graduation, my graduation ceremony, going back to Singapore, catching up with my friends, getting to Singapore all over again, unpacking my stuff, see doctor regarding my face, going back to Dad's hometown for Chinese New Year, visit my English teacher, finding jobs and going for interview.
This week is my last week of "holiday". Must be thankful to everything that had happen to me and also what I had hope and plan had also being carried out. I had always been thankful because I find myself lucky, didn't suffered any hardships and there is always a home for me where I know I know there is food and shelter.
I planned to take a month break since the day I land in Singapore because I need time to adjust my lifestyle and also work on my health. I truly experience how stress can be damaging, my "good friend" didn't come for months, acne suddenly breakout all over my face and my memory got really bad. Then maybe find job and start work around Mar.
I am starting work next Monday, which I am feel thankful that this goes according to what I had hoped and planned. Big company and at a accessible location, growth opportunities are there. Though it is not a job scope that I wanted but it is moving into the direction I wanted for myself. I take this job as a stepping stone for my ideal job. Pay is higher than I expected, company's worker's welfare not bad too.
Being fresh graduate, not knowing what you want is normal I guess. What we learnt is on books, however what needed of us is another thing. I guess getting into a similar industry to what I studied gives a better overview what I want to do and really can do. I hope to stay on in this company as long as I can.
I am thankful for the experience for studying overseas gives me the compose to go for interviews. My first engineering firm interview, I got the job. It was the ideal job for me but it has higher work hazards. After careful considerations, I decided to turn down the offer. After two weeks later, I got this job, better pay but desk bound.
Even after I signed the employment contract, I still feel a little empty with the job scope. A little scare because I can't see the end of the tunnel. Must be thankful for the people I meet, sometimes some people say the right words and the right time, makes me feel much better about my job.
I am ready for the job, I am going to fully utilized my "holiday" time. Manage to buy enough clothes for my first week of work and things that I need during work. I have enough rest and ready to move on to the next phase of life .
Hope I update my blog soon ... XS

P.S. Listening to TXylor SwXft's " Safe and Sound ", munching love letters and drinking peppermint tea while blogging ... little indulges in my life ... X)
