Expensive PT
Monday, December 25
Blessed Christmas, everyone!
Cold and sleepy... If only I could slack for the rest of this week... But my senior extended my booking and I would need to return to Jurong on non-stocktake days... Pondering if I should execute my initial plan of taking MC. Lol.
I am now having post-Christmas blues, pre-working day blues, pre-pre-pre-...-New Year's blues and pre-pre-pre-...-peak period blues.
Arrrgh.
Oh I went for my first gym session with my PT on Sunday. PT sessions are expensive!! 10 lessons for like $700+! But well, I figured (and hope) it would be a good investment, coz since I have spent so much for a gym membership, I might as well spend a bit more to make sure I get the basics right. Besides, there was this initial fitness consultation which showed my fitness scores to be quite pathetic, where I scored miserably in the strength and flexibility sections. I got so weak meh...
And so all the more, i can't quit w/o a job now... no more savings...
And my PT also told me to eat, eat and eat! 4 slices of bread every few hours in addition to my usual diet, so it's almost 1 loaf of bread each day! More buffets, less ala cartes liao!
Gymming, my latest obsession!

Kawaii!

Sometimes life feels like one big raincloud above your head...
...and you wonder what meaning is there to it anymore.
You study so hard since young...
Whatever for? Certainly not to earn lotsa buckaroos just to pay off those bills, bills, bills!
But come to think of it, you can buy berry yuck-tasting milkshake to gulp down after working out in the gym to grow, grow, grow!
And grow till you become an 
!!! (oh that's Hercules by the way)
...so that you can find someone as yummy as that plate of spaghetti and meatballs you can share with.
And instead of washing the dishes straight after eating, you, um, ahem ahem...
And shortly after you 
asleep how easily , as easily as how you fell deeply in love... 
only to wake up to find that (s)he's going to leave you (and the plates unwashed).
Was it all but just a dream? You asked yourself... *sigh*
You keep rubbing and rubbing and rubbing your eyes...
...but in reality it's just that you've burnt your ass so happily without you knowing!
And then it's back to the mundane again for a year.. or two.. or three...
But as you grow a lil wiser each day... 
...you realise that what you're seeking for at all times is just like the bone you hang over your head from the back of your neck!
Nevertheless, and most importantly, with every bad or sad experience, you must learn to love yourself more and more each day...
before you start loving others first... only then can others love you back in return! Whee!
And psst, guess what? It comes just in time for Christmas too! Yay!
Many many thanks to ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
peaces_icons!
So Kawaii nez!!
Copied from an unknown person's blog... But cute things are meant to be shared! =P
It's Christmas soon... And everyone, almost everyone, seems to be able to clear leave and go somewhere overseas this Christmas. Not me... stocktakes here and there... Still remembered 3 years ago when I spent X'mas in KL with sq, ed, peck n wh. It was so much fun then!
Christmas... =)

Corrinne May
Sunday, December 17
Saturday... Went to watch Corrinne May in her X'mas concert!
My first Corrinne May concert and it really got me into the X'mas mood! She's an awesome performer, and I really enjoyed sitting back and listening to her singing X'mas caroles. Kinda reminding of those days when I was involved in carolling too (Yeah I was! For 1 X'mas!). The overall experience is a very cool and refreshing one.
Bumped into XP and someone else whom I dunno. Heard someone calling my name and when I turned around, saw his face which I dun recognise... And when he saw me, he turned to his partner excitedly and said ,"是 Donny!" But my face throughout was "你是谁?" So paiseh... And I still dunno who he is now!
And... My X'mas present to myself:
I finally signed up for a plan with planet that will last me until June '09.
*Heart pain*
Paid a hefty downpayment to reduce my monthly instalment charges... Travelling plans next year may need to be shelved or reduce budget...
And most importantly, as I said honestly to the sales person,"Now I cannot tender without a job liao." And he smiled n laughed along... Coz he earned my commission and he can happily plan his travelling...
I must go to the gym more often now otherwise I will feel very very bad. Even if it means waking up early to go gym. Even if it means dragging to the gym after a long day at work. Even if it means sleeping less on weekends. Even if it means missing the repeated telecasts of PSS n TVB dramas.
I will try to try.

old
Friday, December 15
I'm starting to feel the reality of being old. Although I keep telling myself I am still young, no, it's really no longer. Especially when 2006 is coming to an end soon. This year I'm 24, next year 25 le.
My senior is 24 too, she's same age as me yet she's married with a child and she has more years of audit experience than me, earning a higher pay.
While I enjoy my 2+ years of NS, it's now when I really start working with '82 ladies that I realise how much difference the 2 years of NS have created. I must start aligning my mindset to my age.
In conclusion, I feel old. Arrrgh.

D&D
Monday, December 11
My table ppl from the D&D on thurs!
Overall... D&D is ok la... Haa I won't really rate it as overwhemingly fun coz it's really another event of taking photos. Somemore we had to put up a performance, so we practically have no time to sit down and relax, which I thought should be the whole point of a D&D! And speaking of my dept's performance, hmmm, well... haha. Won't comment too much since I have chosen to involve myself only on the actual day.
No luck from lucky draw though! Sad... I was hoping to at least bring something home.
A photo with our CMP ie. Country Managing Partner. I hope I haven't got his rank wrong...
It looks good right? Well but it surely does not taste as good as it looks. Well firstly, the food was all cold already when we returned to our table after our performance. And secondly, the food really isn't nice... The whatever meat was just horrible.
But thanks to the waiter who kindly scooped the food for us in our plates and arranged everything so nicely that it really looked like an emperor's feast!
Until the food went inside our mouths...
Taken at the lobby when we were going home at about 1plus near 2am. Actually I wonder why the person helping us to take photo does not know how to tilt the camera and take the photo vertically since the x'mas tree is so tall. Of course, thanks to him for helping us take photo la.This has been a most busy and tiring week n weekend. But meaningful. =)

Hall BBQ/MJ
Sunday, December 3
It's a small BBQ pit, but sufficient for the few of us ex-hall 14 for a mini BBQ session!
And yeah the crazy us travelled back to hall for a gathering cum MJ session... Far, but there's no more suitable place we could find for MJ therapy yet. So... Boon Lay... aaaaaaahhhh...
31 n RQ, whom we haven't seen for a long time. She took quite a long time to pack up and just when we got on the cab, she realised that she forgot to take her medicine and the cabbie had to go back to her office... But still, I'm glad I waited for her coz we chatted all the way in the cab, and she also told me more about banking and working stuff. Heh.
Hall days... Haaaaizzzz...
Oh btw, 31's shirt "WTF" means "Welcome to Fourteen" which was our slogan for FOC la. So dun mistake demure 31 for some obscene girl... The most she does is cosplay and then look like some heroine (or demon) from some anime. Haa.

The organisers... mr n mrs tan... who both didn't want to take a photo initially coz they said "难看". I boh chup... Need to take a photo of the organisers to thank them for their efforts mah, in organising this and buying the food and of course, for still being a resident of de hall.
Halfway through the bbq, this insect that looks like 小黑 interrupted us...It's probably hidden somewhere beneath this mat we are sitting on.
And this mat is eh, the banner for our hall's FOC... At least we made good use of the money spent on this mat k! Not sure how much it cost, but since it's printed, not hand-painted, it must have been not too cheap.
The job market isn't really as good as reported by the media... see? And yeah, the MJ tiles on the MJ table! But but but... not a day for me to play coz...I didn't get to play in the first round. And so i watched the first half of "The Devil wears Prada" and skipped to "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" coz the former dvd was too badly scratched to show me the second half, when I was sorta getting into the Prada-ish mood...And when it was my turn, I developed a running nose. And a runnier running nose as the 2nd n 3rd round progresses... A weaker immune system caused by insufficent sleep daily.And by the end of everything, i lost $20+ in all! AAAAAH! See everything in my life is going so not smoothly...The only thing to rejoice is that they never heeded my suggestion to play something more challenging, like removing the stakes for max limit and adding $1 or $2 more for each tai>5. Or playing 30/60 cents. Else ah, I may even lose my pathetic pay increment next year (which I would rather not have...)Monday... again... I'm feeling the blues ever since I woke up this morning........... Sigh.To be honest, sometimes I regretted studing acc in the first place, it's just... not me.And sometimes, I feel that my degree n hons can be a blessing and a curse at the same time.In fact, sometimes I wonder how would life be if I had not followed my friends to go tpjc but went to tp instead to study that course I was interested in...And sometimes, yeah I just think too much. But life would be so boring w/o imgaination, right??Labels: hall
