*phew*

I made it. I survived the super tough week.
My boss left... and obviously there were some administrative stuff I had to do. On Monday I had a new joiner, and 1 guy flying in. Tuesday was my new boss. Damn that was hard. And on Thurs I had a new joiner again. gaaaaah.

New boss is fine. I mean, so far so good. I seriously hope I do not screw up. I'm still nervous around him but I suppose I'll manage for now.

Mozzies have been attacking harder than ever these few nights. Absolutely horrendous nights, considering my very stressful days. Just bought this high-frequency emitting thingy. It damned well better work. Especially after I killed one of them mozzies this morning. That fat thing was filled with my blood.

I'm working on a new piece and hope to complete it soon. Not like Kaze is going to be performing any time soon, considering this recession. Still, I like to hear ourselves playing it amongst ourselves. Feels good.

I've got so many ideas of which pieces to arrange, but I just haven't got the time and energy lately. I'm still going to try anyway. Hopefully there'll be more chances to perform. I can't wait.

Nothing really new in my life lately. MK and myself have been very careful to keep our weekends free and more relaxing. We now have our 2nd weekend of doing ... nothing. Ahhhh. Very nice.

Parties will start again later, but right now, I think neither of us can really deal with it.

Going to have another nice home-cooked dinner by him. HEehee....

What a fantastic Saturday.

End of hal of 2009

There hasn't been a quiet moment this entire half a year. I'm amazed it's only been half a year! What a rollercoaster ride.

From returning from Germany, to going to Kuching, then Bintan, and then of course there was Hong Kong..
The countless number of parties.. moving out..
Not forgetting an eventful time in the office from retrenchments to resignations to my possible transfer...

Yes. I may be getting transferred out from my very very beloved team.

My boss has resigned you see. And she has completed serving her notice.

Now, I may either choose to continue in this team, or move on to help another division. I;ve made my decision though. I will move on. I'm afraid, but I believe that as much as the new job entails longer working hours, possible subjection to almost-slavery and a hell lot more of I-don't-knows... I am ready to take the plunge.

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Unfortunately it is not convenient to talk abt work online so I shall leave it as that.

Life is still as eventful as ever. If only I could write down and document everything but I simply cannot afford the time. Sigh.

Work is taking up most of my life in the recent weeks, and will probably continue to do so. I am determined to keep a balance as I always have. And no matter what decisions I choose to make, I will bear in mind... that happiness is a choice, and it is up to me to choose it.

I have got to be one of the luckiest people to have so many loving friends, colleagues.. such a fantastic boyfriend, and needless to say... my amazing family.

I continue to be thankful for each day that passes and to see the beauty in it.

So much going to take place at work tomorrow. The heat is really dehydrating me. Gotta hang in there....

Sneak peek

To any curious cats out there... here's a sneak peek of my place at night...

Night view - can't see the pool at the corner of the photo...

Our study room - he and his laptop, me and my piano

No sofa yet.. that will only be coming in July.


Of course... the bedroom with the reduced number of bears. heehee!

So... now I have to prepare for the HK trip. Lots of work to do before I go on leave. I hope there's enough time to pack!!! Maybe I should start tonight. hmm..

More photos then I suppose. :O)

I am IN DA HOUSE!!!

Yes indeed I have moved in!!!

woohooooooooooo!!!

I'm really sad to "leave" mummy... but I'm so happy to get my new-found freedom.. and a life with MK now!!! It's incredibly exciting!

I am going to miss my mum so very much but I also want to show her that I can survive out there on my own (well, almost). I'm sure it will also give her some peace of mind when sh can see that her daughter has indeed all grown up. :O)

Still a mess here... plus we still don't have a sofa.

THere's much work to be done, so I'll have to get to them now. Shall blog again soon soon. Tired, but happy.

Next project: trip to HK in 2 weeks time!
Then ... HOUSEWARMING PARRRRRRTYYYYYY!!!

Moving to the East - part 1

The move has begun!
Most of his stuff are already at the new place. We went shopping the entire sat, and i'm glad to say we're en route to making this a cosy haven.

I am really excited but still tired. I am not too sure what's wrong but i feel more easily tired nowadays. I need to do my packing tomorrow night for sure.

Ah. I need to rest now. I'll update again soon though. Moving place is such a pain and chore.

But i'm sure it'll be worth it. :)

I'm 27

Woohoo!

I'm actually posting this the moment I turn 27!
No, don't feel sad for me that I'm not celebrating somewhere out there. I think I've had just about enough for now.

Have been on Bintan the past 3 days.





I'm very very much happy to be where I am right now.

In the comfort of home...

Then again, home will be a different place for me very soon. I will be moving with MK to Bayshore. :O)

Yes. I have decided. I will move in with him. And we have taken the decision to make a move to the far east of Singapore where we know nothing of, except that it is nearer to the airport, Tanah Merah ferry terminal, and East Coast Park.

Rest assured, there will be a housewarming party. Now, to start planning the move...

Life for us just never seems to quieten down very much, does it?

Reaching the point of exhaustion

I think I was a lot more tired and drained when I was working on the D&D late last year, but somehow, this time I am feeling it again.

I believe it is the coupling of work and my personal life matters that makes it harder to balance lately. Plus the incredible weather nowadays - the extreme heat coupled with the flash storms.

Yep. I know I'm not getting any younger. It's a sign. Damn. I'm only turning 27!!! And that's still a bit more than a week away!

Anyway, his parents are in Singapore now. That means both my parents and his have finally met. But strange to use the word "finally" when it took waaaay longer before mine met my ex's.

MK's bday party was last Saturday and he is now officially 30. Woohoo! Again for the benefit of those who do not have facebook... here are some snippets of the wild party which I only drank 1 shot of vodka the entire night for:
The cake


One of the MANY MANY MANY photos


My mum & his mum


And at the weekend before that, we had such a wonderfully classy night at Cats with champagne and great company... and dress-up!


Today is his nephew's birthday party.
Next few days are going to be spent looking for an apartment he can stay in. I hope he can find something.

I've spoken to my mummy about moving in with him. She's ok with it. So now it really is up to me.
Would I like to try it??? Yes.
Do I have the guts to??? Yes.
So what is holding me back???

Apart from the obvious financial reasons, there is a certain quality of life that I have at home and what I have there at his place is different.
For EG: As much as the TV I bought for my room belongs to me, I can't bring it over 'cos it'll ruin the wall. Simple things like that that seriously... shouldn't even matter.

But I am still bringing these into consideration to remind myself that I will be starting all over and building my lifestyle once again.

It sounds exciting. Maybe that's why I'm a little nervous about taking up this challenge.

I really want to prove that I can make it. And more importantly, I know my mummy would want to see that I can take care of myself (or have someone to help to do that.. heehee..)

Could be what's contributing to the exhaustion. I cannot fall sick. I must not fall sick!!! Not when I'm going Bintan next Friday!!!!!!!!!! Wahaha! With 7 Germans no less. And when I"m back ... MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Anyone know of irresistable birthday treats? I'm looking for where to eat lunch and dinner. Lunch being at Raffles Place of course. Working lah.

Okie dokes. Gotta go get ready for the kiddy party. Then Botanical Gardens tomorrow. Nice SSO concert. All we need is good weather.

Leave comments pls my dear readers.. I know some of you are out there. haha!
