he didn't see me. didn't look my way. i was standing right in front of him.
what hope?
get over it.
refocus on Him. He sees me through it all.

siao liao!
yes, the crazy 2 came out to play again last night. qi and i decided it must have been something in the fish soup we had!
last night i was late to dinner, noted by qi who announced "i'm earlier today!" followed by her characteristic laugh...yes, you know the one i'm talking about ;) the little burst of "HAHA". just that.
i'm can't remember exactly what we were psyched about but we laughed heaps. really, like, heaps.
at the moment in small group we're doing a series of "how to do bible study". at the end of it, we're supposedly going to take turns to lead. as much as the thought of leading not so small in bible study is intimidating (so much so that i might actually faint), it's really quite exciting at the same time and i have this feeling that God is preparing me to be used :)

just how bad?
very bad. extremely bad. like murderously bad.
i've been shelving alot of things to do and the main reason being: i have more new stuff to do.
i can't help but feel my eyes going heavy and the occasional nodding off whenever i open up any of the source files.
what are source files? these really big documents, usually in spreadsheet or rich text format, containing ALL the deals done for the previous working day.
usually, i have no reason to view these files. however, it seems that these days, there's always some kind of problem or investigation to be done.
oh, and i've accummulated 6 days worth of excess logs to do :(
this is killing me. pray for perseverance!!!

giant leap
the last few weeks have had me wondering why i'm scared to share some secrets with my darling girls.
so i took a giant leap today and spilled one.
and i'm glad i did because i got some really insightful feedback. future mistakes that have now been averted thanks to Qi [hugs and love] so now my heart has been saved from one less heartbreak and i will continue guarding this heart of mine!
but it did leave me in a state of deep thinking and contemplation that got JPoh really worried. i have so many questions....
15 more days :)

another one bites the dust
Thursday was our last lunch with Sinyee...her last day at work. now she's back to being a student! first Gloria, now Sinyee...left me and siow wei to meet for lunchies although miss lee has promised to come back to join us! :) we went to pasta mania at cpf building (again...)
waiting for our pastas!
we all got the same dish: Chicken Sausage! but with different pastas ;)
i had mine with linguine, sinyee with fusili, siow wei with spaghetti
my first time having this dish, my peas all went to miss lee!
we're gonna miss you darling!!!
Harry Potter Thursday
went to see Harry Potter last Thursday with Qi, GEN, Sinyee, and Nick. it was a little hectic, trying to buy food for dinner cos everywhere had LONG queues. qi and gen were already ordering their subway when we found them....and kindda cut the line to order something... *sheepish grin* i feel really bad ok! especially when nick said he didn't want to order cos so many ppl were waiting. guilt trip...
the movie itself...
was good. good enough, i guess. qi wasn't so impressed lol. i felt that it was...incomplete...like it's as if that they had filmed a great movie but then too much got chopped out at the cutting board stage. even though the movie had quite a fast pace, the climax was more of leaning towards the anti-climax, and cos the whole movie was moving quite quickly along, there really wasn't time for a breather and instead of a movie with excitement here and there (like transformers :] ) it ended up being monotonous. i must say kudos to Luna, her character was played out beautifully. but as for the rest of the cast, their parts were all small and undeveloped, i was disappointed that most of them seemed more like wallflowers. especially with all the hype about harry potter's first kiss...keyword being hype.
the disruptive, inconsiderate people sitting behind us...
2 words: freaking annoying. i had to refrain from turning around and clobbering them. and at the end of the movie, i asked nick "so how did you like it?" he made a face and gestured to the ppl sitting behind us. actually, i thought they would be like secondary-type but turns out, they look about the same age or even older than us! 1 word: immature! they are lucky i don't have my father's temper......or they would be DEAD with just ONE look!!!

friends @ work
a BIG thank you to Amy for inviting me along to dinner tonight :)
sometimes, life has a way of suprising me. yesterday, it was an invitation to come for dinner tonight by Amy, a fellow ocbc-ian from gt whom i have hardly interacted with since joining.
we went to the Manhattan Fish Market at Central - Amy, Andrew, Joelle, Weiqiang, Hendra, Diem, and me (hope i got everyone's names right -.-
the food was good, loved the chips and garlic butter sauce!
joelle and i decided to share, mainly because we ate alot during the day...
i took joelle to qi's parents for lunch at Lucky Plaza and she had the bak chor mee, i had the dumpling soup with noodles, and we shared a bowl of fried dumplings. firstly, i told joelle to try the soup....mmm....sweet!! and i also gave her my dumpling to try which she really liked so we'll definitely be back there again!
then we went over to taka and browsed at gucci, ferragamo, kate spade then headed to B2 for snacks!!! ps. we were super full after lunch.
joelle insisted that i had to try this japanese pancake with ice cream and red bean. we took it to the counter to pay for it and the lady gave us fresh ones cos she claimed that ours is a bit soft. and after opening the packet, we realised she gave us the one with green tea ice cream and red bean instead of the plain vanilla with red bean. but we just said we'd give the green tea ice cream a try! lol
then we headed into cold storage and bought snacks - chilli lime tortilla chips and apple and aloe vera juice.
then we got takopachi - a box of octopus and a box of bacon and cheese.
then we got these chinese desserts which is like chng tng except with pear and longan.
*shakes head* we were so full we were almost falling asleep in the afternoon.
unfortunately, i also had a very long agenda for the afternoon....
somehow managed to finish by 6.45 then joelle and i headed to central....after finishing our dessert which we started eating at 6.25!
i really thank God that i have joelle, she not only helps me out with learning how to do my daily work but she puts up with my craziness and makes going to work something i look forward to. next month will be sad when i will be gone for the first half and then she'll take leave the second half :( how depressing to come back from my trip and not to have her around to laugh with and chat.

in my life
i'm pretty excited about getting my o2 working again because it means that i can actually take decent photos AND upload them onto my laptop! yay-ness! so the first photos i took were of my workspace...well half my workspace at least...
ok, so it's a little messy but that's cos i've been busy lately so everything just gets thrown onto my desk (especially when i get in in the mornings and just empty the contents of my bag onto my table...). also, the fact that i have absolutely no storage space whatsoever - no cupboards, no drawers -.- and i find the whole writing to do lists and sticking it in front of me really helps! lol

see, i've even separated it into personal and work sections! personal has funky postcards and personal reminders like when dear sinyee and siow wei are on holidays :) and work has various to do lists and how to do lists! and a post-it containing joelle's extension sits in the middle...
when neha was still in singapore, we spent a day visiting the art museum, had lunch at dome, strolled down to raffles hotel and sipped singapore slings, before heading over to bugis for shopping :) some shots i took back then at the hotel with my phone...
and this is my home away from home! see how i use part of my bed as my desk? it's cos my actual desk is so full of crap. and also cos i don't have a proper chair to sit on. ugh, my room is so messy...but it's organised mess! ;)
