Congrats Delicia & Julian

Attended my dear friend, Delicia's wedding dinner last night. It was really warm and sweet to see Delicia & Julian. Such a loving couple! They look so so so happy together & totally enjoying themselves. Delicia looked so beautiful & the gowns were lovely too. My favourite is actually the first night gown, silky white halter gown (as shown in the photo below).

I went a little late, cos the bus was not that fast & when I got to Jurong East MRT at 7.20pm, I suppose I just missed the Chevron Shuttle, so boarded the 7.40pm one and reached pretty late. :p

The company was great, saw many Bizad friends, been abuot 2-3 years since we last seen each other. Was really fun to catch up with them. I guess it's such event that we have a chance to all meet up. Esp happy for Joseph & Charlene, whose first baby girl (Charmaine) will be due next month! Congrats congrats!!!

The dinner was really sumptious. Very high quality & v big serving portions. Yummy. hee hee...

A pity I didn't bring along my camera, the photo below is courtesy of Jee Min. [From Left to Right: Cheryl, Hay Ley, Delicia (aka the Bride!), Jee Min, Simei, Huifang, Pei Yun... I went late, so didn't managed to take photo with Delicia. :( ... ]

Once again... Congrats to Delicia & Julian. May the 2 of you have many more sweet moments together! Wishing u 2 a lifetime of happiness! =)

Recovered

Finally recovered from my fever, sore throat and cough. What a big mess. hee hee...

Abt 1 wk plus at the new office now. Starting to get more used to the rythm and pace of life at International Plaza area... Starting to get to know my colleagues more and learning more about the job itself.

It's an eye opener for me, embarking in the research field. But the path though still blur for me, I'll try my best & give my best shot at it. I hope this journey will be a fulfilling and rewarding one for me.

I still think it takes a lot of courage to step out of my comfort zone and the very cosy life in STL and embark on something that's so much more demanding and challenging. I guess life is like that... and we live only once, so must make the most out of it.

Still not used to the 1 hr 10 mins bus journey to or fro work. It's really far and tedious to squeeze with the morning or evening crowd to get home. Still haven't really sorted out that part yet. Tried reading on the bus today, but after 20mins, cannot make it already. Head starts to spin. So, probably just listen to songs on my ipod nano which Zonghe bought for me. ;)

There were 2 nights that I worked till 10pm due to Focus Group Discussion held in the evening at the office. Well... Though managed to get a cab back on the first night, it was still v tiring. The second night couldn't get a cab. The cab I called didn't wait for me. And when I re-dialed the hotlines, the lines won't get thru. =( Waiting at the IA taxi stand is like forever. That's one thing disappointing about working in shenton way...

Miss everyone back at CNW... Hope everyone's going great back there. Hope to see u all soon.

Down with Fever

Yesterday was my first day at work...

Things went well, it's a small company with just 8 staff, so got to know them pretty quickly.

The feel was q different from that of the warehouse. Now I work on the 18th floor at the International Plaza, in a small office area. The view is ok, well lotsa concrete buildings around, but could see the sea & port, which is not bad.

Miss the greenish pasture of the naval base. Miss the smell of seawater near the coast. More impt miss the people from the warehouse.

Been just 1 day, but really miss everyone at CNW... Called back office to look for Mr Ong, Outbound office & Ms Neo...

Later in the evening, felt really feverish & cold, though I was wearing long sleeve shirt. Took a panadol & felt better. But later that night, my fever shot up really high... =( Even until today, still feel really warm.

Last night, Zonghe attended to me the entire night. He was busy sponging my forehead and making sure I was ok. I slept a bit, woke up to drink water & go to the toilet... but was in a daze, so I didn't realise that it's so so so late already & Zonghe is still up looking after me. He sat next to me the entire night, until I woke up at about 4.30am and realised the time & realised he's been up the entire night to make sure I'm ok. *touched.... So, quickly asked him to go & sleep.

Woke up about 9am this morning & still feverish. But a warm shower made me feel better... I've no idea why I'm running the fever... Is it because of the emotional strain I'm feeling? (Missing the friends & colleagues at STL?) Or am I overworked? Pushing myself too hard?

Hope I'll get well soon...

Yesterday Once More - The Carpenters

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played
I'd sing along
It made me smile.

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.

It was songs of love thatI would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
