Wanted to add on some lovely pictures to my blog...
but coincidentally, my geocities is on strike!
*argh*

It's okay It's Okay!
Relax...The internet is always against me anyway. loL...

It has been quite some time since I have had some time of my own...
to sit down quietly in front of my lappie...
not having to do, think or worry about anything in particular.
(listening to JJ's 江南 over & over again tonight. I love this song!)

Before I know it...
PA is ending...
This week's the final week for me @ HLF.
Happy or Sad?
Hmm.. Mixed.

Din't sleep @ all on friday...
because there were really too many things to prepare before the event on saturday...
No more lettuce or tunips for me for @ least a yr man! *laughs*
Strange how I look better w/o any sleep! Haha..

Curl 2005...
Challenge Your Limits...

Then Strangers...
Now friends...
It's amazing how much a bunch of individuals can come up with.

@ the end of the day,
thinking back of the countless hours,
efforts & sacrifices made by every single one of us,
everything...

was worthwhile!

"True satisfaction in life is doing what others say you cannot"
I truly agree with this statement.

Setbacks, setbacks & more setbacks.
This is what we encountered along our way of preparation for THE day.
but it's awesome how we proved many wrong and made this event a total success!

25th June 2005 is a day which I'll never forget.
The day we all officially became world record holders!

& breakers-to-be! =)

I'm surprisingly blogging from Home today!

How come?

Poor me got a very bad swollen eye when I got up from bed this morning!
Hey wait! It's not the usual eye peeling that I get from rubbing my eyes!
It's worse.
=(

My right eye especially.
Somebody should just see the expression on my face when I looked into the mirror as per norm. this morning!
I totally freaked out!

Basically because I looked like a monster!!!
Really.

Thus wasn't able to turn up for work today.
Doctor said it was acute eczema! acute leh.
haha..directly quoted from him...
but it aint thaaat serious lah!
He was just trying to scare me...
*laughs*

Erm. I think I haven't explained how the allergy came about have I?
From Chanel make-up products!
Yest. I went for this make-up workshop with my mum after work,
Everything was great!
The service, the place, the people, the products!
Excellent!
They even put on some eyeshadow, eye liner for me too.

And guess what's next....
Yes yes... ugly fat swollen eyes in the morning!
Sobz! :(

Eyes are sooo delicate I tell you.
Once it's down...my whole system just goes hay-wire.
My eyes especially..lol.
needs loooooots of tender loving care!

I was thinking to myself last night, "how cool would it be to have a make-up corner like one of these (below) in my dream room next time! Hhaha...then I could doll up myself everyday with different colour combinations!"





But definitely not any from chanel!
Wahhaa!

Undergoing a Bad-eye day...

Haven't had the time & energy to blog recently.
Exhausted...
Busy, busy, busy @ work!
BUT I like it!
Ha...I like the thrill of being occupied high & low!
(do i sound insane?)
but that definitely beats having nth to do ya?
in my perspective~

Have had more exposure lately @ work.
Given more impt. tasks to do~*
(1) Gone out on a client visit with my other boss & 1 of his Marketing Executive.
She was from NTU too... graduated in the yr 2000!
Nice getting to know them! This case is one of financing A/R.
And guess what?
It was totally unbelievable how he introduced me as a new perm. staff to the client!
A new staff who hasn't got my name card printed.
This is because he wanted me to be the one liaising with the company.
He wanted me to have the hands-on experience in the entire process...
from the interview, getting of co. details, to the preparing of credit proposal.
I thank him so much for that!
I just heard from him today that he will be giving me another task - that would be slightly different...on housing loans.
Excited!

(2) As 1 of our perm. staffs is on leave for 2 weeks...
I am helping out all 28 branches with the searches.
ROC searches, Bankruptcy searches & WOS searches!
This can fill up a whole big time of my day le lor!

How fast...this is already the 5th week of PA.
I've got to know a whole bunch of crazy colleagues!
Ha..fun-time yekking with them during free-time here and there.
Even though they're all 10 to 15 yrs older...
we click quite well i must say!
loL! Is it me or wat? Am i old?
Oh-NO!!
But luckily for me!
They make me my time @ work much more enjoyable!... =)
Life as an intern. is indeed turning from dead boring to interesting!

Went for HL Group's Family day @ Wild Wild Wet last Sunday (5th of June).
Had a fantabulous time with there with Keith!
The slides are fun!
Especially the "U-lahlah"!
That's the family ride - one that can accomodate a max. of 6 ppl on a float!
We practically laughed throughout the ride!!
Thinking back, only 1 stupid ride freaked the hell outta me!
Okay lah. It's not stupid..just that I'm freaked out!
It's the samsung one which is sooo identical to Viking!
Ha...But on the whole...
I had a geeeereat time!



Saturday was spent in sch this time round. Had a trial Popiah-making session with my comm. as this coming Saturday would be our 2nd session for CURL. We have to prepare ourselves to look more pro! so as to teach the volunteers on Sat! Haha...quite fun lah! It looked much more presentable as compared to the previous try-out!
Definitely!




Oh ya, before i log off.
I had dinner @ you2 ji4 duck rice once again today!
It's the one just opposite bugis m.o.s!
I ate there last thursday.
Finishing 5 whole saucers of chili!
The chili rawks!
Today I had 4!
So yummy!
So filling!
So So satisfied!
*laughs*




Took 2 neo-print cards today!
It has been such a long time since I've last took 1!
I can't help not smiling looking @ it!

Good nights diary!
