3 days to a brand New Year, a time for reflections, acceptance and resolutions. To tell you the truth i have yet to do any of that, considering my mind has been focused on work, which is not really a bad thing since i actually do really like my job. And since i officially start my holiday leave tomorrow, i suppose i have plenty of time to reflect and make resolutions.

Its been pouring buckets almost everyday, i swear there were moments when i was looking outside my office window and saw what to be like snow... Well it could either be, One - it was my imagination gone wild, 2 - my eyes are tired from looking at the computer screen all day or 3- the offices upstairs are shreding documents and are disposing any evidence out of the window. lolx.

Have you ever noticed that during christmas-new year's week, there will be some sort of natural disaster/ freak of nature happenings?
Take for example the extremely rainy week we are having. (Not that i'm complaing since i quite like the coolness in the air, it makes one feel like we're in another country.) Somehow to me its like nature is trying to wash away all the bad things in 2006, may it be memories, events, whatnots, and preparing for a fresh start to 2007.

Well then there's also the recent earthquake in Taiwan, and the Tsunami in 2004.

My theory is that the world is getting over populated and its mother nature's or perhaps god's way to shift the world back into balance. What do you think?

Anyways had an awesome time during the weekend with the group. We celebrated Naz's 20th Birthday at Vivocity. Been quite some time since the whole group met up.
I'll upload photos soon, but you can always view em' at naz's blog.
Next gathering, Vik's birthday!! Totally looking forward to it =)

In other news,

RANDOM THOUGHTS

I lost my house keysssssss!!!! argh i cant believe it! Where did it fall?
I wonder how is it that of all the things in my jacket pockets, the keys are the only thing that is missing?!? argh. I'm more upset about my keychain.. Its the one with my name on it given to me by my aunt. sigh.....

Eversince i started working, coffee has been like an elixir of life. Even tho i'm not such a big fan of the bitter taste of coffee, i need the pick me up it gives me, I have to have coffee before i really get my hands on work, or else i'll either be cold, sleepy or both. Thank god for the coffee machine in the office. Cappuccino/Machiatto/Latte anyone? hehe.. And there's always the good ol' fashion nescafe and milo =)

The dopod c800 is to die for!
Its definitely gonna be in my top 5 wishlist

Death Note marathon with my 4th Bro and 2nd Sis during the eve of New Years Eve and Morning of New Year's Eve. Looking forward to it. Hopefully i'm not too tired after working at UWW on that day and find myself falling asleep half way thru the movie. *grinz*

Lately during whatever free time i have i find myself tuning into animax on cable. I guess it kinda started eversince my 4th bro introduced various anime shows to me. The only thing that irks me about animax is that since i'm used to watching anime via fansubs and its usually in Japanese, i prefer watching anime in its original form rather than watching it in its english voiced over version.

Now can somebody tell me.. where did my blog pic went to??? For the clueless, I'm refering to the image that is suppose to be on the top of my blog. What did blogger do to it???? Man i'm so not liking this new blogger at the moment.. hmm or maybe its due to the internet disruption thingy... or maybe its time for a new layout...
*edit*0053hrs
wahahaha lo and behold , moments after i post this entry the image reappered! lolx!

So a week has passed since i started my new job. Its a total far cry from working in a law firm. For one thing i'm doing nothing that has got to with law since i'm in the marketing department, and the culture is alot more relaxed. The cons about working in one of the biggest IT company in the world is that you are not able to access blogger in the office nor MSN messenger which got me totally bummed out since i have yet to be given any heavy duty work to do and i spent most of my afternoons dragging my tasks so that i'll look busy instead of having nothing to do.

My colleagues are quite alright tho i still have yet to find someone i can totally click with. I had a very awkward lunch a few days back and i reckon that if i were a statue at a museum i would have been more useful. Imagine eating lunch in a group and being totally ignored even when you're sitting in the middle of the table. Talk about being totally ignored. But then i could have joined in the mundane convo about plans on spending chrismas etcetc but then if you have nothing good to say why bother rite? So i just sat there listening to the convesation even when the caucasian guy asked around table about their plans and obviously skipped me. Just to add the other chinese girls in the group were just as new like me. *shrugs* I guess its kinda like when i was working in the law firm, being the only minortiy the majority would talk in their own language and i'll be sitting there listening since i do understand a bit of mandarin and look interested in a totally different thing.
ah well.. hopefully the following weeks ahead would be better.

Then there's also these other guy in the office who i think has a six sense or someting (like when i noticed he had cut his hair (yes i notice such things) the other day and i was mentioning it to a colleague of mine when we were waiting for the others to go for lunch and he suddenly turned his gaze to our direction while in a middle of a conversation with another colleague! Like he knew we were talking about him!) and sometimes the way he looks at a person (mainly me) is damn unnerving. Maybe its just my imagination or something else. I hope he quits it soon cause it gets daym uncomfortable.

Well like i mentioned before, i dont have much work to do as yet. But with the event that i'm helping out is in two months i expect quite a lot of work to be coming in soon. But one question still remains, am i helping them out on the actual day considering the event is in HK? My supervisor has not said anything to me so i'm not really sure if i should ask her. However if all of em' went to HK what in the world am i going to do in the office???

Since i have yet to given more work to do i have been completing my tasks fast and at times I purposely take my time to pack up my stuff to go home because I know I have nothing to look forward to at home and I do feel kind of guilty that my other colleagues are still hard at work preparing for the upcoming major event and i have yet to be given any major tasks to do. The only thing that currently motivates me to go home early is to catch the repeat telecast of Cardcaptor Sakura on Animax.

Enough about work. In other news Genting won the Sentosa IR bid! Yayness! Very much expected tho. All i'm looking forward to is the Universal Studios, and i do hope it'll be just as good as the one in Orlando. Then with good news comes bad news for UWW, since they are building a brand new huge ass oceanarium that will kick UWW's ass. lolx.. I wonder what's gonna happen for UWW.

Two friends of mine from my ITE days recently got engaged to each other. Congrats guys and all the best! During the 'engagement reception' (yes somehow in malay culture there's such a thing which i dont see the point of since it is a waste of money and an engagement aint a permanent thing, and with announcing to the world that you're getting engaged then lets say what if the couple splits up? tsk. If you want to get married, announce to the world when you actually do and not when you get engaged and decide to get married 2 years later.. *shrugs well thats me..) oh yea where was i? oh yes, during the reception, i asked aida & wan what makes a couple who has been together for a long time (e.g 5 years) to finallly make the decision to spend the rest of their life together? yes i have this problem of grasping the concept of spending the rest of ones life together with another person. And you know what was wan's answer? He told me that if couples have those kind of stuff that they design together (he gave the example of the photo collage that our engaged friend had above her bed) that means they are serious.... *falls of chair* '_' " err rightt... now tell me what kind of answer is that? ish...

The tagboard has been giving me problems which is why i decided to take it down. However there's still the comment links at the end of every post, so i suppose that will work just fine =)

Went to visit my brother in the hospital yesterday evening. Glad to see he's doing better even if it is with the help of an oxygen mask. Doctors will be deciding today on what further steps to take.

Anyways, on a brighter note....
I got the job! Even if its a contract position, the timing suits well with my plans if i decide to pursue my studies. I'll be starting this coming Monday. So this month of December it looks like i'll be juggling two jobs. Weekdays at the new job and weekends at UWW.

And since i'll be working everyday, I decided to do a bit of re-organisation in my room and with the opening of the new IKEA which is just a few block away from home makes it all the more convenient. But now i'm more worried about time since i'm working tomorrow but i'm hopeful that i can get my mess resolved before i go to bed on Sunday evening / Monday morning. hehz
