Saturday, April 28, 2007 NYJC Homecoming>yup went back to my alma mater's 30th anniversary celebrations on late sat afternoon.. the last time i was there was 2 yrs back when the sch was rebuilt to a big and nice new sch.. was great to see some teachers and we even had student guides bring us ard... totally cannot imagine the orientation of the old sch... aniway we wanted to hv dinner outside but when the feast started after the education minister made his speech, my male classmates couldnt tear away fr the food hahahaa.... if we din leave soon enuff they wd hv finished eating up the whole feast...
gosh had a crazy wk... well cos candy was still ard till wed and i had to give a ppt on thu at a local conference and she helped to practice my ppt wif me b4 she left... we oni finished until abt 9pm and wanted to share a cab home tog.. it was raining and i knew it was going to be difficult to get a cab at my office area so tried calling for a cab and every operator line possible to book a cab was engaged!!! i guess since its raining, alot of pple did OT until 9 then can claim taxi home ba hahahhaa....
candy finally got thru to one but she oni mentioned her destination so i had this bad feeling tat the driver wouldnt take me home for some reason and it did come true!!! pengz driver said he had an adv booking to fulfil so i asked him to drop me at mrt lor... lucky the materials i was going to carry to the event the next day werent tat heavy else i'll curse and swear at him!!! hahahaha no la....
well i guess i did well for my ppt.. lots of pple came up to me saying they liked it very much and found it really interesting... but as expected i couldnt really handle the qns very well cos i dun hv thorough knowledge on other regions and hv my own views for general things... boohoo no colleague to help me there but luckily the moderator who was a prof who also gave a similar ppt to mine earlier in the morn as a keynote speaker helped me out... he was a management prof but did pretty gd and extensive research on biofuels so i was quite impressed wif his ppt... even channelnewsasia pple came to interview the keynote speakers but too bad i wasnt one else perhaps u can even see me on tv! hahahhaa....
it was really cool cos i even had SPRING sg pple come up to me saying tat they would like to see wat we can offer to them.. they considering F&S now as their market research source hahaha..... left the conf in the late afternoon even tho they had a welcome dinner at palm beach restaurant at one fullerton but i din really wanna hang ard the profs so went back office to clear some email lor... realized tat i had a huge headache after i hopped into the taxi.. guess the adrenaline sets in and goes quickly leaving me wif a pounding headache hahaha....
had a talk wif candy also on my career path... well told her i dun really wan to give ppts anymore cos i get so stressed out of them preparing and getting the nerves facing dreadful or difficult questions and having to complete my own tasks at the same time... theres always so much wrk to clear amidst the traveling tat i start to feel incompetent.. Asia is not tat small to cover u noe hahahahah.... well at least she understood wat i wanted altho she kinda warned me whether tis was the route i wanted to go... maybe she was worried for me tat someone else will overtake or even replace me wif better skills but well let nature take its course rite? at least i feel comfortable nw nt havin to deal wif any ppts or sales stuff and can concentrate on managing data research which i like alot =)

Monday, April 23, 2007 Back..>yup finally back after 4 days of running ard... wun go into ALL the details of hw i spent the 4 days lest i bore u hehehehe... well partly is cos i din get to do much shopping or relaxing except buying snacks as usual and a pair of shoes for myself at KLCC... but the gd thing is i finally got my wrk laptop in tis trip so i wun feel so lost during traveling =)
one of my US colleagues was invited to speak at an event in Kota Kinabalu so i joined her on tis trip to attend the event as well as meet some clients and potentials.. met her for the first time since i started wkrg and she was one of the pioneers of the product i am wrkg on... when i arrived in KK i went to pick up my luggage after clearing the customs and i was real unlucky... the handle of my luggage broke!!!! hw suay can i be??? had to half drag the luggage the rest of the trip hahaha.... but i felt i was better off cos my colleague lost her luggage at some pt on her way here fr US! so she had to shop for office clothes but luckily she managed to get her luggage back b4 we left...
the event was held at Shangri-la in KK and when i checked in, my room wasnt avail yet so i had to wait... so tot of going to my colleague's room to say hello to her first and when she saw me she gave me a big bear hug =) haha cos she's quite small sized for a caucasian so i guess she was really happy when she saw tat i was much shorter than her hehehehe... talked wif her and gave feedback on my current colleagues... aniway when i finally got my room i instantly liked it - i felt as tho i was staying at a chalet cos it was rite facing the swimming pool and beach on the grd flr wif a patio outside... too bad i din stay longer at tis pleasant hotel and hike on mt kinabalu! but i did get a big bad sunburn during my swim hehehehe....
there was a nice reception on the first day and the emcee was trying to heighten the atmosphere wif... karaoke!!! hehehe.... nah i din sing but most of the organizing committee did and even their wives who accompanied them on tis trip participated! heehe.... some were really gd but some were really screeching away hahahaha... one of the committee directors was retiring so they sang a song for him and he brought his wife to the front and the elderly couple slow danced - aint tat really sweet??? on the 2nd day of the meeting they also organized a nice dinner at an outside venue where the men were wearing silk batik shirts and ladies silk batik scarves... i arrived late so i din hv one hehee... but it was really cool cos i din spot anyone wearing exactly the same shirt....
when we were checking out of the hotel to return to KL, i realized the handle of my luggage (which i left at the concierge while waiting for my colleague) was wrapped in masking tape to make it more sturdy! hahahhaa... aint the hotel staff really sweet to do tat for me??? yup it was then back to KL and nth much except meetings lor... even had to conduct a conf call wif a client when we were traveling! got my US colleague to join me on the flight back to sg to visit our asian office for a day b4 she went home... and my poor luggage handle was finally snapped broken by the taxi driver who wanted to haul the luggage into the boot hahahahaha.... guess its sayonara time to the luggage... aniway we had lunch wif her and also invited the new indonesian colleague to a thai-indonesia restaurant... boy it was really difficult to find a place to avoid pork and has vegetables at the same time! hehhee...
was bz helping kel wif his assignment over the wkend and preparing my speech for an event tis wk... haiz its bad enuff feeling tired after tis trip on top of the stress from the presentation... it wouldnt be so bad if i had candy wif me to help ans questions fr pple at the event but she will be back home by then and even if she were there, she had to pay to enter... so guess i hv to help myself then! wish me luck...
Dickey Lee - Tell Laura I Love Her
Tommy and Laura were lovers he wanted to give her everything Flowers presents and most of all a wedding ring He saw a sign for a stockcar race a thousand dollar prize it read He couldn't get Laura on the phone so to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her Tell Laura I may be late I've something to do that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing ground he was the youngest driver there The crowd roared as they started to race Around the truck they drove at a deadly pace No one knows what happened that day how his car overturned in flames But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck With his dying breath they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry my love for her will never die
Now in the chapel Laura prays for her Tommy who passed away It was just for Laura that he lived and died alone in the chapel she can hear him cry Tell Laura I love her... My love for her will never die # posted by MinGMinG | 9:19 PM

拥抱 - 何耀珊
你怀着胸口 在人海独自漫游 你的承诺不再开心地走 以为没人懂 就狠狠关上窗口 可是这寂寞原来每个路人都懂
你我都有过 有过一样地难过 给我你的双手 让我贴进你的胸口 温柔在流动 拥抱复活的感动 沉默都能够交流 心事化做心跳的节奏
想哭的时候 请想起我的笑容 留下的泪光 原来会在暗中闪烁
天空如果要我遇到过 就陪你等候 你在害怕什么 我在红尘之中看到彩虹
你我都有过 有拥抱一样地难过 给我你的双手 让我贴进你胸口 真心拥有 温柔在流动 拥抱复活的感动 沉默都能够交流 心事化做心跳的节奏
不管宇宙多辽阔 拥抱紧我的星球 # posted by MinGMinG | 10:52 PM

Sunday, April 08, 2007 Happy Easter!>happy easter folks... hmm din do much over tis long wkend except shoppin on fri.. went to PS cos kel wanted to look at a shop his cousin recommended for couple rings.. it was quite interesting cos they hv cool and trendy designs and quite reasonably priced too.. besides tat i was bz lookin for black pants to match my black jacket and a brown jacket to match one of my brown pants cos running out of wrk suits to wear when i travel...
hahah the former was easier to find so i started out wif my oldtime fav shop G2000 but din find anything suitable in my size.. either the size was a tad smaller or too much bigger... wanted to go wif the bigger one and the shop assistant was aredi measuring the suitable length to alter and writing the sales order when kel told me its too big and ugly if i hv to wear a belt to keep it up so i had to apologise to the sulking lady hahaha... she said its ok but i noe she was fuming inside trying to serve me but i din end up buying it...
but we made the rite decision cos i found suitable pants at marks & spencer instead! all along i tot the shop sold clothes tat were ex but to my pleasant surprise, it was instead cheaper... a pity tat it was boot leg cos after alteration it will definitely end up swinging at the bottom when i walk which i absolutely hate!!! kel recommended a lady at queensway shoppin centre who can do alteration wonders so hopefully she can do wonders for mine when i visit her tis wk...
and guess wat? sometime later i found a straight leg pants my size at dorothy perkins!!!! pengz... things are always like tat... when u wanna find something the appropriate one ALWAYS appear the last when u aredi got one.. does it apply to luv too?? hahahaa... aniway i'm happy wif the marks & spencer pants i got as long as the alteration wrks... if cannot then go back dorothy perkins and buy lor hahaha.... aniway we're dealing wif clothes here...
also saw one of the stalls selling clutches so i bought one cos inside was an adjustable strap tat can make it a sling bag or waist pouch which i tot was pretty cool... but when i brought it home i found tat the strap was too long for me haahhaa.. aniway i asked the stall lady where she import the clutches fr and i guessed it as much tat they were fr thailand but i din see them when i was shopping there... i oni saw the small cute victorian bags she was selling and bought a couple when i was in bangkok...
decided in the end to tailor make my brown jacket la cos walk the whole day also cant find... to begin wif most of the shops seldom sell brown jackets and even if they did they were either too ex or not compatible wif my brown pants material.. anyone wanna recommend a gd and reasonably priced tailor? if not i will try my luck at chinatown tis wk b4 i fly to malaysia next wk...
also bought some talc at marks & spencer as a gift for kel's mum to celebrate her baptism tis wkend... wanted to go and support her on sat but kel said alot of his dad side relatives will be going so asked me if i still wanted to go... its prob gd tat i dun go cos i havent met them yet and they will prob ask y i dun wan to convert since i come to church to support his mum hahahha....
haiz some trouble's been brewing at wrk lately... trying to set up meetings wif potential clients in malaysia next wk and someone is helpin me to do tat since those were her contacts... she went ahead wif writing emails to them and aredi setting meeting times so i asked her to shift the meetings to later timings and i even specifically gave her the exact timings! i was doubtful when she din write down the timings somewhere so tot she had it all in her mind... but she set one of the meetings still at a timing too early for me and my colleague... since she wasnt wrking the next day i dropped an email asking her is it not possible to shift to a later timing?
and then over the long wkend she wrote me an email saying tat i shd tell her earlier so tat we dun seem so FICKLE minded to potential clients... but i tot i told her the timings aredi or were the instructions nt clear enuff??? pengz.. kana shot for nth! i dunno y is it so difficult to wrk wif her such tat i hv to face such office politics when i nvr had such major problems wif my former boss? wrk aredi so difficult liao y muz make things so complicated??? i juz feel she dun really hv the heart to wrk here la... if i noe i wd hv arranged the meetings myself.. then like tat she got no wrk to do liao lor hahha... aniway i juz feel tat she took the chance to shoot me since i am younger (and too nice) than her even tho i am still considered having a higher position (and perhaps standing) than her in the co.. u tink she will still shoot at my former boss even tho my former boss is younger than her?? hahaha guess not rite???
aniway to ease my mind i finally got to eat some authentic chilli crab at jackson kopitiam and i absolutely luv the buns tat go wif it!!! tink i better cut down my addiction to it hehehehehe..... nice song below! great recent collaboration bet david tao and (ex-gf) melody
爱不在 - Melody 殷悦
坐在这角落 心里很多话想说 我和你的错 就是舍不得放手 深爱你的我 早就应该让你自由 知道我以后 需要一直往前走
也许是越在乎 越会彼此的伤害 真的爱情 又算是什么
爱不在 应该让自己从回忆中离开 爱不在 我们都已不存在彼此未来 有时候 对爱有太深太多依赖 好象你失去在这世界 还能够 孤单的自由
是曾经有的梦 现在只剩一场空 心里好多疑问 你忘了你的承诺 笑我自己没有用 眼泪无言的流下来 始终还是要面对 这段感情的伤痛
是因为越在乎 给彼此伤害更多 有了距离以后 看到不同的你和我
爱不在 慢慢让自己从回忆中离开 爱不在 我们都已不存在彼此未来 有时候 对你还是会有关怀 可是心里已经太明白 不是爱 不是爱
爱不在 应该让自己从回忆中离开 爱不在 我们都已不存在彼此未来 有时候 不管对爱有多深的依赖 就算再不愿再伤心 我明白 我们只能放手 爱不在 # posted by MinGMinG | 10:58 PM

Wednesday, April 04, 2007 Sudden Loss>i got a shock today when i saw an office email subj heading coming in ard lunchtime saying "Kong Ha - CAI-Asia Chairperson passed away" and i read tat this bubbly and friendly uncle fr HK suddenly passed away last nite.. as mentioned he's the chairman of the Asian Clean Air Initiative pushing for clean air in this region and he's has been doing so in his home country HK as a govt officer, esp on issues with smog and vehicle emissions.. the govt dept tat he belongs to is a client of ours so we liaise freq wif them esp when they have qns on wat the other adv countries and regions are doing...
b4 he passed away, i met him in person 3 times and the last was in dec last yr when i was in yogyakarta.. he was the one who joked abt me being a pretty gal accompanying a high ranking official fr china and said i reminded him of liisa when she first started out in the company... i also vividly rem him emailing me when he saw tat i got promoted and asked me for a treat... i said i will promise him one when i see him again... but alas theres no more chance nw for me to do so... i will always rem him as a cheerful and helpful person who luvs to crack jokes to lighten serious discussions and meetings during events...
i called his colleague to find out more and it turned out tat he had a heart attack while at the gym after wrk... guess it was too severe to be saved at the hosp... the colleague said Kong Ha started having weight problems a couple of yrs ago and came along some health problems so he was trying to control them by doing regular exercise... but his life was taken away just like tat without anyone knowing and he left behind a wife and a daughter... i guess many pple in this region who have wrked or knew him will sorely miss him after his sudden death and deem it as a great and unfortunate loss to the industry.. to express our condolences we'll be sending flowers to his family in HK..
karen was also telling us tat she had an ex-colleague who was very dedicated in her wrk and went home at 10pm every nite and one day her hubby called to say she had died in her slp... the boss, who was a stoic person and always did things by the bk, felt guilty pushing this lady to wrk and thus changed to a better person by caring more for his subordinates... another case karen came across was another ex-colleague whose teen son also died in his slp... can u imagine hw daunting it is to find ur loved one go to slp and nvr wake up again??? its really sadz but really, when the time has come tat u hv to go, its inevitable.. as we always say to ourself, treasure wat u hv nw! life is indeed too short to hv regrets and enjoy while u can but also do rem to eat, exercise and live healthily... live ur life to the fullest! take gd care of urselves my frens...
好眼泪坏眼泪 - 徐若瑄
我曾 认真 深爱著一个人 他给我幸福 的可能 我等 我问 未来何时发生 他只是给我一个吻
快乐 我哭 是因为你的手 曾答应带我向前走 难过 我哭 是因为我的手 找不到你说的 以後
好眼泪 坏眼泪 我都曾为你流 感动和悲伤都是理由 只不过 在你不再爱我了以後 像坏的眼泪慢慢流
快乐 我哭 是因为我付出 得到你温柔的答覆 难过 我哭 是因为我认输 你的心永远留不住
好眼泪 坏眼泪 我都曾为你流 感动和悲伤都是理由 只希望 在我不再想你了之後 有好的眼泪慢慢流 有好的笑容陪著我 # posted by MinGMinG | 11:55 AM

Sunday, April 01, 2007 Mr Bean!>heheh he's so cute.. soooo funny... i lurvvv watching his comedies since young and my family's an ardent fan of his too... aniway had dinner at this classy italian restaurant over the wkend which i din noe existed near my office... its a little on the ex side with each main course over 20 or 30 bucks but the food was pretty gd and they had excellent service!
also met up wif elaine and the rest for dinner at no signboard seafood restaurant at esplanade on sat... hmm of cos we had seafood and the prawns were not bad but the chilli crab was nt as gd as the stall at jackson market or even kel's grandma cooking! ya there was a third crab left but no one wanted to finish it up... we wanted to meet up cos elaine tan's (married) hubby has been posted to sydney for half a yr and she's following him by making a transfer as well for tat period of time so giving her a 'send-off' dinner... wow nt bad for the co to do tat rite?? the other elaine (teo) is going back to australia too but next yr to permanently to follow her bf whose mum's got cancer so he's going back to take care of her... and qianhui's bf recently proposed to her so she's engaged now! =)
hahah and elaine brought along a fren called jack whom she knew here altho they din noe they were fr the same uni until they met here... aniway he's such a crappy guy... can make u laff and cry at the same time when u hear him tok hahaha... and his face reminds me of my optician mr. lee who's a professional in contrast to this guy who's a crappy talker.. aniway she brought him along to intro to leona but in the end, he said he will intro another of their frens to him whom he thinks will be suitable for leona hahahahhaa..... tats hw crappy he is but we had an enjoyable time at dinner and havin fondue during dessert at haagen dazs till midnite since he was here to entertain us in place of alexis who couldnt come last min...
hmm was bz trying to catch up on my wrk last wk since my major proj and bangkok trip... also had my job performance appraisal wif liisa since she was my boss for last yr... cross my fingers i will get a payrise! hehehe.... in the meantime, also interviewed 2 pple who could support me in my job since karen will most likely do smth else instead...
firstly interviewed this guy who juz grad wif MBA and is eager to find a job related to energy consulting so he tot this job wd be suitable for him but it seems tat he's more interested in a higher position so nt in a gd place to support me then =) so i interviewed the 2nd lady who was aredi interviewed by candy who recommended her since she's indonesian who came here to take care of her children who r currently studying here so she wd be a gd choice to support me... so i guess we r going wif her cos she impressed me wif her gd attitude and willingness to learn and guess wats her name?? lucky! hahahhaha.... yeah maybe she will bring me luck =)
haiz will be bz again this mth due to traveling to kota kinabalu/KL wif my colleague fr the US and giving a presentation at a local event... kel's traveling to japan again next wk too and bz wif his studies but we hope to take a vacation at end of this mth! hehehe.... its abit tight but hopefully it will be possible =)
其实还爱你 - 阿沁 (FIR)
我讨厌冬天的风冷的那么刺痛 只有你能够抚平所有的寂寞 昨天的风站在角落 泪水都到了路口 我很不想让你找到离开的理由
那一夜 闭上眼睛 我看到了噩梦 因为伤 还是旁边的人不是我 天空切开一道裂缝 直接割到我心中 不想装做脆弱 也不想爱的懦弱
其实我非常爱你 不想失去你 难道我没有权利 说我不愿意 你给了他的吻 虽然只有余温 可知道我多渴望抓住你的心 我知道他很爱你 你怕他伤心 我每天假装开心害怕你离去 可不可以忍心 求求你不要去 藏在我心里最后一句其实还爱你 # posted by MinGMinG | 11:05 PM
