At a colleague's wedding dinner on Monday.
Meritus Mandarin Hotel.The nice bubbles effect to welcome the bride and groom.
Dreamy and beautiful.
With our very tall Art Director.
Random shot while waiting for the next dish.
One more of us.

Woohoo.
Back from a run from office to Clementi Sports Complex.
That's about 3.8click.
Then we played Badminton again.
I had to go back to office and back to Clementi central again for dinner after playing.
I had to check on the uploading and send email.

Work. Work. Work.
It's quite tiring but responsibility is what keeps me going when I do my work till wee hours, and I make it a point to put in the best effort in whatever I do.
I don't care if my efforts can't be seen by others, as long as I know that I'm giving my best, I believe it can be seen somehow, someday.
I don't beg to be praised.
I don't even need that.
I only wish for my hard work to be appreciated, and that's enough.
My goal is to produce the best work I can as it is for every readers who reads it.
I hope its the sincerity and efforts they feel when they read the mag.
Slipshod work won't be and shouldn't be considered even under tight time constraint.
When time is running out, always have contingency plans, making mental notes, must feel comfortable with the idea before executing it.
Time constraint is not an excuse.

Do what you enjoy doing, and do it with your heart.
That's the most important.

I'm very shack now.
I slept around 4am and got to work this morning.
We OT-ed on Tuesday night.

Monday night we had a colleague's wedding dinner to attend.
It was quite good, the food's good, the drink's good.

After Wednesday, the week will be ending soon.
29th is on Friday.
I'll be playing Bball with colleagues.

It's a sporting week I must say.
Come Sunday, 2nd March, I am going for the National Vertical Marathon for the first time!
60-storey building.
Wish me luck that I can survive to the top.
I'm going there to experience than to compete.
I can't wait.
Yup.

SY buddy hope you're doing fine there.
I'm sure you can cope with your studies.
I've been busy.
I haven't called you.
You enjoy yourself over there alright?
Don't be too stressed up and you'll do fine.
Dearly missed by all!

Check out the pics taken with Sher's new SE 810i.
It's a cool phone, but I stick with Nokia for convenience sake. Ha.

That's me and a Bball, at SP's Bball court.
A squatter for shelter when it drizzled twice.
I was in my newly bought Zara top that day when I played Bball.
As expected, it got soaked when I sweat. Lol. Sian.
After we returned back to office to OT.
The Bull Run shirt comes in handy but I still stink.
Check out our Kingston flops. Haha.

20th Feb, Wed, I OT-ed.
21st Feb, Thurs, I OT-ed.
22nd Feb, Fri, I OT-ed, but Sher and I went to play basketball with some of our colleagues first after dinner at SP.
And like OMG, I feel like playing again, when we don't have to do OT after that! LOL.
I finally shot 3-point balls!!!
YAY...

But after we went back to OT, we're half-dead tired and stinky!
I played in long sleeves, shorts and heels!
I'm aching quite badly for running around in heels.

And my Saturday started only at Settlers' Cafe with colleagues who went for a 'Food Hunt' activity organised.
It started at 9am, breakfast, dim sum, etc, but as usual, I missed the morning's good food as I overslept. Haha.
Sad, cos can't get to try and bring him out to try next time.

My Saturday with him was much much shorter as he booked out quite late this time round.
I found a new shop to hangout while waiting, it's gonna be Gramophone! Ha.
Anyway, I liked OneRepublic's Dreaming Out Loud's album.
They have nice song that accompanied me through my OT nights alone.

My Sunday, was spent sleeping at least 50% of the time at his place while he was busy with his paper work.
The time spent with him now is really, really short.
Honestly, I still feel a bit sad whenever he books in.
During the weekdays, I gather with friends and colleagues to past my time less lonely.
I really miss him, a lot.

Work stress meter is at its max for me again.
I still have a colleague's wedding dinner to attend tomorrow night, which means, can't OT to clear the production.
Anyway, it's a good, short opportunity to be not slogging in the dearest, as good as second home office in ulu ARC.
Haha.

Some quick updates...

14th Feb, went out with colleagues to spend the V-Day night after work. Thanks to the couppy colleagues who don't mind their first V-Day together to be spent with others around. :D

15th Feb, went out with colleagues after work.
We had dinner at some alley in Bugis and it was Bak Kut Teh.
After dinner, we headed to The Concourse for Starbucks and how they love to play with my DS Lite lah.
Laopo, go get one too lah! LOL.
And then, we headed to Pool Fusion, quite a walking distance there to play pool till 12++ and go home after that.

16th Feb, Saturday, I went visiting at a colleague's place before heading to town to meet Bebe to catch Jumper the movie at PS.
The movie was alright only.
Then he came over to stay for the night.

17th Feb, Sunday morning, as usual I couldn't wake up earlier.
We booked 10am's tix for P.S. I Love You movie and we had to missed at least half an hour of the show!
We started watching from the point when Holly's family and friends started to make a change of her life after the husband was gone.
DAMN! It was a great romance movie!
I can so watch it again.
It made me cried lah, even got Bebe sniffling too.
It's a love/hate relationship I had with how the movie was presented, playing much with your emotions, till you can feel light-hearted one moment and got emo cutting to the next scene.
I'm emotional. LOL.

We had lunch at Ichiban Boshi.
I had a good lunch and Ichiban shall be in the Top 10 of my favourite dining places. Haha.

Then we headed back to his place, I dropped dead and sleep immediately, while he continued with his journal to write and read up a bit for his test.
Then it was time for him to book in again that evening.

MONDAY...
The blues are over.
I'm super tired from lack of sleep.
I went to run.
5 click, improved 40 secs.
Right.

Tuesday just gone by...
I went out with my workplace's Coffee Khakis.
It was dinner at Dan Ryan's, at Tanglin Place.
American restaurant.
The food's serving's big as you can guess, it's American's serving!
Though the price is a little steep but the food was great, dining in very dimly lit place, the kinda atmosphere which makes me feel like sleeping after much lack of rest and long day at work.
Can try!
I'll bring him down to try. :)

Then was dessert at Haagen Dazs and headed back home earlier than our usual Coffee Khakis' chill out sessions last time.
One very good reason to go back earlier being...
IT'S ONLY TUESDAY!
There work the next day!
HAH.
Nice.

So I better get to bed like right away to catch more rest.
Needed that.

Nighty world. :)

I miss you, Bee.

And counting back, SY's only gone for a week.
Be well in Canberra!
Miss ya too! :D

It's 13th Feb, going 14th in few minutes time.

To me, 13th Feb is more significant than the actual Valentine's Day itself. :)
4 years back, it was the day I received his first V-Day present.
And towards the end of February, will finally be the 1st year anniversary by right, cos the day we get together was on a leap year, on the 29th day of Feb.
So by left, it's going 4 years. Hehe.

Well, this year's Valentine's can't be spent with him cos he's in camp.
The first V-Day without him.
Even my Laopo Sherlyn has plan already.
I wonder how will the day be...

And the actual day, 29th Feb, Friday, he's still in camp.
Our 1st year anniversary will be spent on March again.

Today I came home straight after work, went out and ran 5 click, 26 minutes still, got home, watched TV and had my dinner.
I finally run again after so long and the vertical marathon thingy is just around the corner!
I will go just for the fun and experience, and only if my stamina allows, I'll try to do my best for it too.
Yeah.

I miss him.
I miss my buddy.
The closest 2 can't be around with me for such ocassions.
If really no last minute plan is up, I'll go run.
Running is good.
It takes your mind off stress and you feel healthier too.

Still, Happy Valentine's Day to all.
It's a special day to celebrate with the loved ones.
It's not just for couples, but family and friends too, those who are dear to you.
It's a happy and lovely ocassion so here's wishing happiness for everyone.

:)


P.S. I Love You :*

My Dear Ah Boy is heading to a new start in Aussie now...
Hello Ah Boy!!!
When you see this, drop me a msg/email/something yea?
Yea yea. No tagboard lah you see. Haha.

Well, you're like far away now.
I'm surprised I didn't cry out when I see you off, but not that I don't feel the parting thingy inside.
I'm actually very very happy and excited for you!
Seriously, you know? No lie.

It's gonna be a whole new journey for you, learning in a new place and experiencing something not everyone gets a chance to.
I really am happy for you, thus you see me asking you to stop crying and my smiley face instead.
Remember that smiling face for you and be back soon! :D

Other than worrying that you might not get used to the living and adapting to the new place, you sick-ish little kiddo (xiao peng you!), and it goes on...
But I'm sure you can make the most of your time there.
We want UPDATES from you please!!!
Alright?

Nothing changes.
It's just that little bit of distance.
I'm sure the buddy telepathy still works. (I hope. HAHA.) ;)
And all your dears friends and loved ones in this tiny red dot too, we all look forward to your home coming soon.
Time will fly, it always do. :)

Oh, and your Mummy was like "Hey she didn't bring her Minnie?" when you're already checked in and walked far! LOL.
Okay, random. HEHS.

Hey, technology is so advance now, it shrinks the world so keeping in contact is not that hard eh.
Distance is nothing too now so I'm glad.
Aiyo, so much to say, feeling excited to hear from you like SOON!

You take very good care over there k!
We all love you!!!

Stay busy, be really busy, studying, gaining more knowledge, making new friends, learn a new skill or two, tell us about the weather there, take more pictures everywhere you go, update the blog I created for you and share your unique experiences with us!

Remember to think of us okay?
We miss you!

XOXOX

Yours truly, Ah Ger.

Candy + Romance for this February :) :) :)

That's my Mid Size Candy.
(Photo taken by a DSLR in our 'studio', single-handedly by myself while I need my left hand to pose. HAH.)
I was doing a photo shoot of clothes and accessories in the studio and went clicking away some random pics with the lightings set up. Nicely. Hehe.
And his Candy, in same colour from me!
Mine is the smaller one. I have small wrist you see.
:D

And...
Here's my very early Valentine's Day gift.
The Limited Edition of RL Romance, my fav scent of all time.

Damn! I wish to have a DSLR please!!!
And maybe my own studio, lightings, ...
Okay, dream on. HURHUR.

DSLR has always been on my wishlist! (Actually, on my new year resolution too. Cos I need one to learn and use!)
Okay, let's see if I can lay my hands on one by 2009, or sadder, by 2010....
Anyways, am contented with what I have for now. ^-^
