Rainy Monday....

It is another rainy day again today…
The weather’s been really really crazy, so hot for the past month and then now it’s raining like cats and dogs every now and then. Y can’t there be a balance of things?

*sigh*

Well, lately I haven’t got too much of a mood to blog actually. Somewhat lazy and somewhat tired. Somehow the “words” in my mind isn’t coming right correctly, otherwise, they simply seemed stuck in my mind and just refuse to come out of whatsoever…Sickening is the right word to describe...

Anyway, it’s another Monday. Feeling the blues alright and feeling exploited again…as usual. Was asked to do some data analysis and formatting of the slides for our recent survey. %$*%(&^*)&(*) Y do I always get jobs like that? I think I have the word “administrative duties” on my head or “chapalang staff”. In other words, whatever things that other people think is too troublesome, too trivial or they are just simply too lazy to do…they find ME to do it. How convenient huh?

*sigh*....

I’m just so frustrated right now with everything that’s happening that I feel like I’m bursting you know. It’s so darn frustrating to know that everything you feel that you can hold on to or want to hold on to seems to be falling alllllll apart. I think I might need some sort of therapy soon…

I hate the feeling of feeling loss and helpless…perhaps I am some sort of control freak…but I do like to know that I know what is going on….well at least understand why things are happening the way they are…*sigh* perhaps it’s something that I need to think about. Hopefully I’ll be able to tied through this period….Somehow I just feel very tired…tired of the way things are going for me…And the feeling of loneliness...even though there's pple surrounding you...u feel as if no ones understands you nor comprehend the words that are coming out from you.....

It’s still raining, perhaps I should take a stroll in the rain to clear my mind…maybe it can wake me up a lil…

YawnZzzZzz

Today’s rather a quite day in office because a lot of people’s not around. My immediate boss is on urgent leave, my other big boss is overseas. Even their secretary is on half day leave…Hee….Even some of my colleagues are on leave, one had to go back because his wife fell down or something….I think I can pretty much leave on time today…Hee…

Well, I will be doing marketing related stuffs very soon. Another event is coming real soon in about 2 weeks time…so I’ll be in charge of that. I hope I know what I have to do actually..cos I’m really not sure if I’m up to this at all….

*sigh* insecurity…

I don’t exactly have much to blog about lately, perhaps I haven’t been feeling good lately. Not physically but more emotionally. For one, this year is the rooster year, my year, but unfortunately things are not exactly going on smoothly(pretty much predicted cos of some Chinese calculation thingy). So, I can’t help but feeling abit down because things are really not gong smoothly at all. They might not be HUGE issues, but they kinda dampened my mood for the entire year.

“Things” just keeping coming…..and it someone affects my morale for the entire year. I just can’t help but feeling sad sometimes….dunno y..perhaps it’s my depression kicking in or even more conveniently…PMS coming!

Hahaha….I’ll stop my nonsense for now…..=)

Elocity

Today's the launch of a new SAP product, known as Elocity, targeted at SMBs.
It's been a busy morning. The registration for the event starts at 8.30am, so since I'm helping out in the event, I had to be in office earlier...

Anyway it's been nice helping out and learning a few things today. But I felt a little awkward because there's this new intern ger attached to our company because she's the daughter of some director at our Indonesia office. It's interesting to see how enthu she is in helping out in everything. And when I say everything, it IS everything. Whatever that I'm doing, she wants a hand as well...

Ha..it just feels a lil weird somehow, not that it's bad or anything, but somehow I felt a little weird, as if she's trying to compete with me..
Well, perhaps I am over-sensitive...she's a nice ger really. Very outgoing, friendly too. Perhaps that's cos she's doing marketing and is involved in coming out with a marketing plan, both for my company and her thesis as well.
~I'm over sensitive =p

Anyway somehow the feeling that I'm feeling right now, somehow seems like a deja vu to me...I think I felt like that in a dream once, and I was kinda curious who exactly the ger was...Hee...think I'm turning psychic...Card reading anyone?LOL
*big grin*

Well, its been a fruitful day anyhow. We even had a sumptous buffet lunch downstairs at the indonesian restaurant. Cool huh?Free lunch..hee..although I din help much..well..I help cleaning up most of the time. I starting to think I'm the newly appointed tea lady....

Hmm....I'm starting to feel a lil sleepy already. Looking forward to the weekend already. =)

Till then...

Yest's Blog

~As the title goes, this was suppose to be yesterday's blog but because I was somehow "deprived" of internet connection, I was able to upload from my ofc..Here's the blog anyways...

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my blog. I’ve been rather occupied lately at work thus not able to blog. Keeping myself busy is a good thing actually. It makes time a whole lot easier to pass….
Anyway, the news now is I’ll be going to Philippines for the project. More or less confirmed, but I might be there the entire 3 months period. For those people who know the usual lifecycle of a SAP implementation know that 3 months is a ridiculous timeline. But I guess it is so because we are just rolling out this implementation internally and most of the existing data can be copied over, thus the stingy timeline. But then again, we must not forget the budget too because it is always a concern during a project.
Anyway I probably will be there for a few days or so I think…Not sure how much will I be involved, but it’s good to know I will get a chance to be involved at least.
I’m looking forward to this somehow but can’t help having some misgivings about traveling to a third world country whose security isn’t looking very bright at the moment and having to bear being alone overseas again….*sigh* Guess I’ll have to get used to this if I want to stay in this line huh? Sacrifices must be made in order move forward for a beginner like me.
Anyway lately although I’ve been busy, but I’ve been roped in to handle an amount of “dirty” stuffs…admin stuffs, boring stuffs, mundane stuffs, whichever you may call it. I’m starting to feel like an admin staff now, noobs always have to start from the bottom huh? =(
That’s the way the world moves….

Scorching Day?

The sun has been rather generous lately….Powering at full blast and rain hasn’t been visiting for a long time since. Somehow I miss the rain…(that is when I’m sheltered…not when I’m out traveling or waiting for buses)…Hee

Anyway it’s been a tiring day because I’m quite deprived of sleep lately….

Yesterday had a dinner cum tea session with some of my friends who I got to know while studying in Aussie. It’s been awhile since we’ve all met up actually. Been too busy to meet up. The reason we met up was because one of our friend is now working in Aussie and he’s back only for a short while to do visits. Since he’s flying off this Sat and had no other timeslot, yesterday was the best schedule so we all had to compromise. And the chatting went abit over the usual time….

Anyway the whole session was nice. Good to see that everyone’s moving on with life after Uni…it’s been awhile and it's good to know we all somehow moving onto the next phase of our lives. This event actually reminded me once again how fast time flies….*sigh*

In a jiffy, we might all be meeting up either married, pregnant, or worse…parents of a few kids!!!! Hahaha..okay..maybe not that far…but…we’ll see…=p

Ahh…before I forget, I’ll like to introduce a nice place to bring that special someone just to relive the “romantic moment” during the times of honeymoon/dating period. Or even during the “pursuit”

This is a little teahouse is called the “The V Teahouse” situated at a corner of the main esplanade entrance where the taxi stand is I think. Anyway it’s just opposite the esplanade souvenir shop.

This teahouse has a touch of colonial style with a slight Victorian essence. Very nice and very cosy. It’s not very big so it doesn’t have many seats…but it didn’t seemed too crowded yesterday. They have quite unique bland of teas, cakes and ice-creams. And their service is absolutely fabulous!!! I felt like a Queen there…LOL.

You think I am exaggerating? Try it yourself then!!! =p

For those $$ conscious, a pot of tea costs around 8 dollars there. It’s a lil on the high side, but with the services provided, I’d say it’s a good splash to pamper yourself once in a while. *wink*

Bring your ger or your guy along…I think it might just impress them…hee…=p

Anyway I sense another headache coming thank to Mr Sunny…think I’ll log off now..do let me know if anyone visits the teahouse…leave me ur comments yar? =)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today’s Valentine’s Day and I’ve received flowers from that special someone todae...=)
It was a sweet gesture, but I was told before hand of the so-called “surprise” Hee…so..it was pretty much the anticipation rather than the actual element of surprise.
Nonetheless, the flowers were really nice.=) Thanks Babe!

Well, now that I have flowers, I suppose the next “right” surprise would be a nice candle-light dinner at a super-posh restaurant? [Hmm…I wonder when or rather will it exactly happen…] Anyway, unfortunately, I’ll be spending this romantic night not with my beau but with my colleagues…

Yes..it’s our “Lou Hei” dinner tonite, but the disappointing thing is that many pple have taken half day leave and wun be joining the dinner at all!!!!
How lame is that right? If I had known that many pple will not be attending, I’d just miss the whole dinner thingy and enjoy my rightful candle-light dinner. Sheesh!!!

*Sigh*

I had thought that this would be my first dinner with the company and so I din wanna miss it for fear of becoming an outcast…but now I feel rather silly. I should have known, cos the pple here r pretty much du lai du wang which means they pretty much do whatever they think is necessary/right/appropriate without so much of a consideration of others. In short, they are simply are not patriotic enuff to ditch V-dae celebration to go for a “Lou Hei” session with everyone in the office on this “special” day…

Seriously if I weren’t a noobie here, I’ll ditch them too…muahahahaha

Anyway its kinda boring now knowing that many of the female colleagues that I had the intention of bonding tonite, are all not going for the dinner tonite…darn…there goes my one opportunity and a wrong decision made.

Well, looking on the bright side…I’m having a free dinner tonite? Ha…glutton me =p…I’m seriously not very enthu now maybe because I’m feeling the blues and really not feeling to the weather at all. Feeling sleepy and tired…as usual I suppose….Hehehehe…
But really, I’ve had like 4 various “Lou Hei” sessions for the last week already..I think I even dread the word “Yu Sheng” now. Can’t imagine I’m going for another one tonite man….arrghss…so not looking forward.

Guess it’s enuff complaining for the day….
I’ll like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. For those who are single and enjoying every minute of it…[Heehee]…Happy Friendship Day too!!! =)

Bored to BITS

Yes...for the first time ever, I'm blogging twice a day. Purely because...
1)I'm bored
2)I'm very bored
3)I'm extremely bored
4)I'm helplessly bored
5)I'm bored to bits!!!!

There...I've tied my topic to my composition.Surely get As for this...Muahahaha...sorry..seriously bored and need to do something about it FAST!Before I lose my mind...

=P

It's Friday Bluezz....

Alrite....Yes...It's Friday bluez because it seems that everyone's still snoozing in bed while I'm already 2 hours into work. Office is pathetically quiet today because as I've mentioned in my previous blog, all other offices of my group are not working except ours....Sigh..How sad right?I'm feeling so extremely tired and not to mention sleepy.It's been a fun 2 days of Chinese New Year...with the compliments of chines new year goodies and the red ang baos. Though this year the ang bao results were not good...according to my brother...he describes it as being an "economic downturn"...haha..pretty farnie...but seriously as compared to previous years. The ang baos did shrink in size..Hehehehehe.

Anyway I'm sad that the week just fluttered past so quickly...I hate it when time flies so quickly...But looking on the bright side of things..it's Saturday tomorrow!!!But I do know in my heart that this will again flutter past again real soon...*sad* =(

For the fact that I'm writing my blog so early in the morning clearly explains how bored I am right now and that the bosses are not around...Hee...I think I "accidentally" finished last Tuesday...*sigh* I should have left something so I wun be feeling so bored right now huh? *sigh*

How I wish I can go online now, at least there's something to keep me occupied man...Can anyone help with bypassing firwalls???Hahaha...

Whatever are my complains today, I hope everyone's had a great chinese new year!!!!=)

Happy Lunar New Year!

It's New Year's Eve.....=)
Yes, it’s the time of the year again where the streets were and are crowded with people shopping for new clothes, stock up food, buying deco etc. For me, I think it’s a time of pigging out…LOL
Looking back, I’ve always enjoyed the festive seasons, mainly because there goodies to eat and a great excuse to wear new clothes and doll myself up for the occasion. But ever since the start of working life…it seems that the holidays that were to come seemed more tempting than anything else.
For once, I wasn’t really into shopping and buying the “perfect” outfit for the new year. In fact, I found the squeezing through the huge crowd and waiting for the never ending queue to fitting rooms rather “repulsive” to a certain extend. It seems as if everything was free there and people just grab and grab. Seriously, I think Singaporeans are really really rich. We seem to be able to afford almost EVERYTHING in the shop…LOL
I got Levis jeans[Yes…my first pair ever that I bought with my own money] for my new year and a skirt and top just to make myself feel the mood for the new year…I hope I made the right choice thou cos I bought it in such a hurry…LOL

Anyway, enough of my nonsensical ramblings…I shall end this with a good note.

Wishing everyone a Prosperous and Happy Lunar New Year filled with Good Health and Great Fortune!

Takecare!!!!! =)

Tiring Monday

My company group all don't have to work on this coming Friday, however it sucks that cos my department is the IT support for the entire group including overseas...so..all of us have to come back...sigh..no long long hols..
Well, see it in another way, I can save my leave for something else..
Having a bad headache now...guess I'll head home earlier today..
Tazz for now...

Just Another Week....

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my blog. Been rather busy lately and abit lazy too I guess..Heehee..
I’ve finally started doing some work now after a month of slack. Well not entirely slacking around but a combination of slacking around and reading up and practicing on SAP itself, familiarizing myself with the processes etc. The good news is, I’m starting to get the hang of it with time. =)
I’ve been asked to do some work lately and news is floating around that some of us might be roped in to do some implementation work in Philippines in march. Somehow I feel a little excited because somehow I hope I will be given the opportunity to actually go into configuration and implementation of an actual SAP project. However, I do have some misgivings because 1) I will be totally away from home for a few months 2) I’m not exactly sure if my bf will like the idea of me spending time away for so long and probably 3) with a bunch of guys too!4) Its in the Philippines, not too sure if I can adapt either.
But if I can be given this opportunity, it will be a good step up to my career for sure, I can finally put “Overseas SAP implementation experience” in my resume. How cool is that? =)
Well, not that anything is concrete as yet. So…Who knows, I just might be the only left behind so as to provide support for the other users? Who knows really, they might just think I am too noobie for this…Ha! Well…we’ll see….=)
The week went past really fast this week, perhaps being occupied is good. But then as your work load gets piled up, you realize time flies so fast with work. Next week is Chinese New Year already!! How time flies man…Anyway, here’s wishing everyone a Prosperous and Happy Chinese New Year!!!! Takecare of yourself and each other. Best of health to everyone too!!!!!!

=)

ZZzZzZZzzz........

It's been another long,tiring and sleepy day. Today isn't a very productive day mainly because I'm a lil tired and it seems I'm getting abit bored of exploring SAP. I know I know...I should practice more and find out...but it is getting abit mundane. I need something more exciting.

I was just wondering if my choice of career is right. That was pretty much what I kinda debated about yesterday and was suppose to blog it all when my office server went boink and so everything was lost...Sigh...sad..was hoping someone could give me some insights thou...oh well...

Anyway I've decided that I shouldn't be so skeptical and subjective now since everything is pretty much in the beginning now. I mean, who knows, I just might make it great in this line? Well at least that's what I am hoping it will turn out to be. Life isn't always perfect huh? We will all come across hurdles, barriers and difficulties along the way. It's how we handle them that makes us a better person eventually. Right? =)

Sometimes I just think too much. Perhaps we should focus on what we have now, treasure them and seek to fufile what we think will make us a better person and focus on what we can achieve instead of complaining about what we should or what we deserve.

I think I'm getting abit philosophical now. Perhaps I should go be some counsellor or something?Hahaha...consider part time bah...kekekeke..

For now...Let's all be positive for once =)
