MY NEPHEW IS BORN!!!

Yipee!!!! Just got news that my sis-in-law has given birth! So happy...my nephew has finally arrived...cant wait to see him tomorrow... :)

HORRID DAY AT WORK

Today probably is the worst working day I had in IPTO, where I worked for nearly 9 months. I had loads of work to do and they all came from the additional workload that was given to me from another colleague. So sad...I din even have time to do my own cases...sigh, life is sad. When u think tat u hv settled down and become familiar w wat u do, more things get thrown at u. Does this mean tat efficiency will breed more work???? Should I then slack more n work less so tat it will appear that I am busy (this is wat some pple do)?

MY IDOL BLOGGER

Was introduced to this blog by Su - http://xiaxue.blogspot.com

It is written by one of the top bloggers in Singapore (I think) and upon browsing thru her blog, I understood why. The layout of her page is attractive with designs tat doesnt make the page looks cluttered. Her contents are interesting, funny and shows a lot of character. Then of coz, she is quite a babe to look at, guess all the guys would hv good time feasting on her good looks...keke...

Anyway, I shall put her blog as one of my links, makes for interesting reading when free k.

NEWBIE AT BLOGGING???

NEWBIE AT BLOGGING???

Haha! I finally changed the layout of our MapleStory Guild Blog! Using the ScreenShots we took in the game, I have used it as the background and decorated the top of the page w another strip picture. It is so fun!!! For a first time, I think I did a pretty good job ;)

IS TRUST THE ISSUE???

This is a sad start of the week. Was rather happy yesterday until at night where I had an argument w a fren online. With an online/virtual fren, how can u be sure wat u are seeing/hearing is true??? Maybe its due to this new age of IT, pple are able to hide behind the shield of the internet and live in their world of make-belief. So, is trust the issue???

Then this morning, I heard some bad news from a fren abt her relationship. Relationship is such a fragile thing, a small crack is able to destroy it. Felt really sad for my fren and just wana say "Take good care of urself k" to her. Then I begin to wonder again if she had blinded trusted her bf and tat is everyone "blind by love" in relationships. So, is trust the issue???

I have no answers for the above, still puzzles me on wat and who we shld trust. When I think back to my younger days, things seem less complicated and my philosophy then was tat "If someone had bothered to lie to u, just believe them. Coz it takes much more effort to tell a lie (with all the weaving of tale) than to tell the truth...".

MAPLESTORY GUILD BLOG

I am so excited today as I have just created a blog for my maplestory guild.

Ok, I will briefly explain so that u guys will understand k. A guild is something like a clan, grp of pple come together to basically to chit chat and hang out like frens in the game. Well, I started a guild in the game with a few frens last week. And over the weekend, I tot of organizing some events in the game for members to take part in...haha...really life like hor. So, then came the idea of starting a guild blog so that all members can browse and get the latest news on our guild. :)

Anyway, it was really fun creating the blog and getting other members to browse and leave msgs there. Looking forward to maintaining the blog :)

SHOPPING SPREE IN JB

Finally got a well deserved break tdy. Actually I specially took a day's leave to go JB w Kim for shopping :P

It has been a long time since the last we went. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves then and came back with bags n bags of merchandise. It wasnt the fact that the things sold in Msia are slightly cheaper but for the mood for shopping tat prompted our buying spree. We have a bit more self control this time and controlled ourselves not to buy just everything we fancy.

I bought 2 pairs of shoes for myself, 2 pairs of shoes for my mum and a shirt and top for my 2nd bro. Haha, not a lot right? :P

TIME

Think I have been lazing in my own la-la land for way too long. Not really efficient nor enthusiastic at work anymore, and pretty much spend most of my working hours either chatting w frens (on msn) or w colleagues....and of coz the dozing off and napping part...sigh...

This is not the kind of working life I was looking forward to when I opted to study my part time degree. My goal was to be able to do something more than just administrative work, to actually climb the corporate ladder and excel in watever area I am working in. Of coz with it was the wish tat I will be able to earn more and lead the kind of luxurious lifestyle tat most pple yearn.

Not too sure wat happened, but my view and thinking seems to have changed drastically after I returned from Perth last nov...instead of moving forward to accept and undertake new challenges, I am retreating backwards to take things slowly and actually demanding so much less of myself. I have the view now tat there are so much more things tat are more impt than work, career and money. Not tat the 3 are not impt, but I believe tat lifestyle is essential...the way we lead our lives, who n how we spend our time with, whether u feel happy deep inside, whether u end of the day by thinking tat "Oh, today was a day well spent and I feel great!".

Now, my frens and pple ard me seems to have surpassed me in the level of enthusiasm at their work and their ambitious effort to excel in their job and career. Am I lagging behind??? Sigh, many a times I qs myself if I shld once again psycho myself back into the "old me" but then I contradict tat wat I need now is TIME.

I need TIME to gain enuff experience in order to move to a pasture with greener grass.
I need TIME to sharpen my skills and become a professional in the work I do.
I need TIME to build strong working relationships with colleagues.
I need TIME to find better opportunities out there.
I need TIME to stabilize my career and get a steady income.
I need TIME to take up all the courses that I want to do and learn.
I need TIME to open my heart to believe that true love exist.
I need TIME to find the One and learn to trust and love him.
I need TIME to learn to rely on the One and not carry the burden of life on my own shoulders.

If I do not have the TIME to do the above, I will have to learn to live with it...."life is not a bed of roses"...

VIRTUAL WORLD

Recently got to know a lot of online frens from Maplestory. It was fun playing the game and chatting w them at the same time but somehow, one will jus wonder how much truth and lies are there in such friendships. Dun we always hear stories tat pple like to tell lies when in the virtual world of their own make-believe. Call me skeptical, but there is always a doubt in my mind to wat I choose to believe. Maybe it is self protection method but I think this kind of alertness to the dangers of the virtual world is important.

However, I do understand the temptation to believe and our hope to find kindred spirits in the virtual world. Sometimes, it is a bliss to escape into the virtual world but we do have to face reality in the end. So, an advice to all...we all have to be wary...u can find good frens from the web but u could also meet cheats and liars...so take care not to get hurt.

INNER ME???

This is my fren, Mabel's protrayal of me...(wat a cute doodle, right? but it somehow doesn't resemble me...)
