Back from my fourth Taiwan trip last night. :)

这趟台湾之旅，从收集资料，策划，到执行行程，都由我一手包办。从高雄一路杀到台北，再从台北到基隆，搭乘所有交通工具 （高铁，火车，巴士，渡轮，的士）。本还以为策划的行程是不可能的任务，但我们居然都一一征服了（就除了2／3个景点之外）。

一直以来都很想亲自体验这样的旅程，而这次终于给我盼到了。Thanks BFF for making this trip possible!

亲自体验了所有事物，感觉超有成就感的！

So, it's the time of the year again. Time for some reflections.

• My 1 year 3 months' wait wasn't in vain.. It really came true in January. Like, so drama. lol. ❤ It wasn't a smooth-sailing one though. Hopefully things will turn for the better come 2014.


• Went a total of four countries for holidays this year. Cool, yeah? Hehe. Was on my third trip to Taiwan with parents and brother in May, following which we went Korea two days later. Then, we went Genting in June. The last time I went, was more than ten years ago! And lastly, went Bangkok with brother in October. (must scrimp and save fast to recover the monetary loss over the four trips =X)


• Started having colleagues from my own company from my third project. The team lead's of the same age as me, and he thought I'm a lot younger than he is. Hehe. Anyway, I've been looking up to him as a brother since day one.
  
  The week after the commencement of the project, we've got a new staff on board to assist temporarily. A funny guy actually. But sigh, he's really turned my life upside down recently. :( I really hope what he's been telling me is the truth and it will come true soon..


• Am currently on my fourth project for the company already. Location-wise, wasn't that great.. Worst thing is, I had to give up taking 334 because there's better alternative, which is something I wouldn't wanna do. :( Anyway, it's already my fifth month here. Workload is getting heavier, especially this month with more responsibilities taken up. Oh, and I've definitely learned much more here as compared to the previous projects.

So that pretty much sum up my life in 2013.

I wish for a better 2014 for me.. Hopefully 2014 will be better.

And so.. I've submitted my application for this accountancy degree, like finally. Whatever the outcome may be, it's not gonna bother me for now. Don't wanna stress myself by thinking so much.

Well, studies aside.. I'm so freaking excited about the upcoming trips. Yeah right, trips. WOOHOOOO!! Gonna be away from Singapore for two getaways come this May. Yep, it's Taiwan again. However, it has shrink from the original 10 days to 8, and now, a mere 7 days only. Which means, we'll only get to tour for 6 days, since our return trip home is in the afternoon - leaving the accommodation at 12pm. Can't really enjoy much, you see. :(

Anyway, something to joy about after that trip. Because we're travelling to Korea!! Yay-ness!! Okay, 2 more pay-days before the trip.. hopefully I'll have enough savings to enjoy. Oh by the way, I went to check the leftovers of my Taiwan currency, and realised it's so little only. Weird.. very weird. I remember leaving quite some money before I left for last year's trip.. but somehow, they've seemed to be missing. =\

It has been soooo long since I last went on a trip with my parents. If I remember correctly, there's just once, before these upcoming trips. I'm so gonna cherish these two trips alot! ^_^


IMY. ❤

Oh please. This is really exasperating you know? You want to go Taiwan, fine. Ask all of you research and let me know where you want to go. But wtf. Same reply from everyone - "I anything one. Up to you." Come on lah people. If you ask others to go on a holiday with you, would you love hearing such reply from them? (and FYI, I didn't intend to ask all of you along in the first place. It was someone else whom I asked along, who asked you people if you wanna tag along.) Put yourselves in my shoes people. So you jolly well thinks it's very easy to plan, especially when I've not planned a trip before?

And this reminds me of something else. When I told "someone" I'm saving the income from internship to get a camera, guess what's her reply? "Aiya, don't have to buy lah. Didn't so-and-so (2 person) just bought cameras? You can just use theirs to snap / use what they snapped, what." Oh please. I know you're not that into on capturing stuffs, but don't insult photography, can you? I'm not saying I'm a professional nor do I capture "very" nice photos, but I just love capturing things I've seen. And this is especially so when travelling. Come on, you spent so much just to travel to see those scenery and etc, but you aren't the one capturing the moments? Instead, you're taking off others' photos as yours? Please. Then why in the first place would you want to travel? I mean, this is an experience thingy, you get it? Oh well, obviously you don't. And I didn't say further that day lest I start a quarrel with you. You've been pretty keen on initiating a quarrel with me these days, don't you?

Will be leaving Singapore tomorrow..

I really hope, the day I return will be the day I forget everything.

This is just so torturing.. The scar and the hurt inflicted, will never be gone, ever. Thanks for bringing me to my senses. I know I'm just so gullible. People said, "once bitten, twice shy". I fell once, but I fell for it again. I don't hate you for what you did to me for the first time. But this time, enough is enough. I hate to say this, but seriously, I hate you so. Seriously, I really hate myself for not letting you go long ago, or rather, for giving you a chance. I've only myself to blame, for my soft-heartedness which I guess you've seen through it long ago, which is why you had another chance of inflicting these to me once again. Thanks, seriously. I'll be on my guard. Trust me, I'll never be such a fool again. Despicable jerk. There're hell loads of ugly words to describe you, but no, I don't wanna pollute my blog.

Hello! I'm back! =D

Well, been wanting to update for quite some time already, but the thought of blogging after a day of work just makes sian. Hence shelved the idea till now.

So, let's see.. One-month hiatus from blogging..

09.09.2010

It's the day - Apple and Oto's wedding. Joined in (not really =X) the fun in the morning. It's my first time experiencing these, hehs. The ceremony and everything were simple. Didn't expect to receive red packets though. Thanks auntie and Oto! =D When auntie passed the red packet to me, I was like, "uh..? o_O". It was only shortly after that that I realised the purpose of it, lol. *blur* And for the first time, I felt a sudden surge of family warmth when Oto gave me the red packet. It's like, I'm being recognised more like a family already. =X

Did some simple make-up for the dinner in the evening. Didn't dare to try the eyeshadow until Lyn agreed to experiment it on herself, lol. =X Thanks Lyn, for giving me the courage to apply that, though they were covered by my fringe. =X Guess I need to learn from Lyn already. She's never applied eyeshadow before, but she's courageous enough to try out for a wedding dinner. *pei fu*

Dinner was held at My Humble House at Esplanade. The ambience there was quite nice. =) And the price was rather an affordable one considering the area that it's located at. One thing that I've yet to experience until that day is that the food there were served individually. A rather good concept I would say. Overall, the food were quite nice, except for the shark's fin soup which doesn't taste at all like a shark's fin soup. =\ My favourite food was the fish with the sake sauce, if I remember correctly. It just tastes heavenly! =D And it's probably due to them serving individually that I already felt full into the fourth dish. =X

On the other hand, I think I dressed too nicely, all thanks to dear. =( He wore a blazer and of course, I have to match what he's wearing.


10.09.2010

It's Uncle Peter's birthday. Couldn't celebrate this time round as he's being hospitalised. Been making it a point to remember and celebrate his birthday since two years ago. That was something which we've not done until two years ago. It all started because it was then that I know not to regret only after losing one. Yep, that phrase woken me after the sudden loss of Uncle Mao. No one remembered his last birthday, which was not long before he left us. I only remember younger brother buying a birthday cake for Uncle Mao once. That was a year or two before he passed away. Yep, that's the only time.

Anyway, I so happened to chanced upon Uncle Peter's IC some time later, hence got to know his birth date. I really really hope miracle can happen. I know it ain't easy, Uncle. However, you made it through stages and stages. You really have a strong will. Please don't give up, alright?

Actually I'm really touched by two of uncle's friends. They've been by uncle's side all along and never left him. Such friends are really hard to come by and are the envy of many. Thanks uncles, you've been really great!


13.09.2010

Was kinda "forced" to go out with aunties - my three aunts. =X Normally when my aunt asks me to accompany her for shopping during her off days, I'll reject her straight, lol. But this time round, third aunt was in Singapore, plus second aunt ain't working today, hence decided to accompany them. But of course, that's only part of the reason. The other reason was because aunt offered to bring us to the casino at Marina Bay Sands. Hehs. =D

Aunt's also "zhen shi de". It's only until I've got myself changed and am prepared to set off that she told me we can't enter the casino in shorts. -_-" Had no choice but to change, and she just keep rushing me, making me forgot this and that. Grrr..!! Anyways, off we went to the hospital to visit Uncle first. Saw his friend there and he offered to drive us to Marina Bay Sands as he's on the way. That's really nice of him. =D

Reached the entrance of the casino and off we went to pay the entrance fee, fully sponsored by aunt. =D While waiting for the staff (A) to proceed with our registration, another staff (B) came by and asked the staff (A) if I'm 21 years old already. lolx. =X

Finally entered the casino afterwhich. Another first-time experience again. =D Third aunt got the ball rolling and played jackpot, and yep, she got it. It's only her first try, mind you! Ain't she lucky? >.< She went to collect her winnings and sponsored me to play, hehs. She must have passed some of her luck to me that I managed to hit jackpot too - once before lunch and another after lunch. Really a happy girl that day. Hehs. =D

Went OG at Bugis afterwhich, then off to Uncle's optical shop to collect third aunt's spectacles. It's just so amazed that I could find the way to Uncle's shop without problem. Gotta thanks dear for this because he brought me to eat curry chicken mee at nearby before. *good sense of direction, right? =P*

Shared my joy with dear later in the evening, then phoned Pei Er for a chat, which lasted for more than two hours. Hah. I wonder why there's always so much things to chat with her, or rather, craps with her. lolx. Well, part of the conversation's about us further studying. Gal, you should really go for psychology and not wait for me for accountancy. Your interest lies there, not in accountacy. Besides, don't waste what you've studied in MDIS. >.<

Apart from that, we've also discussed about the chance of going for a holiday with the girls. So time to save up yea? Yan Ling should be alright with the idea I guess. So, girls - Mei Bao and Cynthia - how about both of you? =) I reckon I'll be available only until I graduated. Will it be too long for you girls? >.<

Anyway, another plan is to participate in the marathon next year. But Pei Er wants me to go all the way to her area for training. No, please. =( That's too far for me already.


20.09.2010

Started work at a motor car insurance company. 5.5 days work week. Kinda no life I must say. =\ Thanks dear for making it a point to bring me out for relaxation every week. ❤


01.10.2010

Results were released. Did quite well overall, with GPA increasing each semester. Hopefully this continues. One module that gave me a huge shock was Business Communications - a module that I never thought I'll do well. Seriously, I really felt I did rather poorly for the last few assessments. For this, I must really thank our "ang moh lao shi", Mr Taylor. Thanks for being so lenient. =) It's really great to be taught by him. But sadly, it's his final semester in the school already. And now, he's back to his homeland, USA.


10.10.2010

Had a really huge scare in the evening. =( Thankfully, Uncle's alright shortly after. I'm glad dear's with me at that point in time, else I really don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry dear, that I've been "flooding" your clothes with my tears recently. You know, I always had to hold my tears until we met because I just felt comfortable to cry out with you by my side. But at the same time, I do feel bad too. I know you'll be at a loss of what to do. =( And yes, I felt really loved the other day, if you know which day I'm referring to. Thanks dear! ❤


11.10.2010

Finally got the chance to choose our time-table today. As expected, it was really due to our exemptions for the past three semesters that we couldn't get to choose our time-table until this time round. Took half-day leave to settle this, and guess what, I completed my selection at 10.01am! lolx. This one minute surely cost me dearly. -_- Decided to take full-day leave shortly after as I didn't have enough rest the previous night. Besides, I think this is kinda a well-deserved rest after three weeks of no-life life. This is what dear had advised me too, right? =)


19.10.2010

Last day of work. Kinda can't bear to leave, lol. Well, I guess it's a norm that one tends to feel this way when they left a job.

Gained quite "some" weight during the period because I had my lunch late. Then, can't resist the temptation of getting some bites on the way home since I'll always have to get through the food area on the way to the bus stop. Had my dinner shortly afterwhich. Hmm, so let's see.. Two meals plus some snacks within six hours. That surely explains the weight that I gained!

Dear forbids me to go on a diet. =( So I shall only eat less, and light, as suggested by him. Hopefully my tummy fats will go away soon, too. I really hate the sight of it. =(


22.10.2010

Plan was foiled. =( Nevertheless, part of the plan was accomplished. That is, to get a bag. =)

Saw a departmental store when we reached 313 @Somerset. Initially, I had only wanted to look around. Then, dear saw a heels (or was it called a boots?) and asked me to try on. However, my shoe-size was out of stock in this outlet, hence was told to check out the outlet at ION instead. Well, I guess nice things just aren't for me. It was out of stock in this outlet as well.

Anyway, I thought it was supposed to be a trip to get my stuffs? But dear end up getting more stuffs than me instead. Hah! But well, it's not very often that he takes a liking to something. So yep, he should really get them if he likes them. =)

Oh, by the way, dear's been dreaming these two days. Hah! But it's a positive thing. Just hope things go smoothly for him. You've got my support okay, dear? =)


23.10.2010

School's starting soon. My only regret for the previous semester was my failure to do my best for Cost Accounting. Sighs.

Oh well, I just hope history will not repeat itself for the upcoming semester, as well as future semesters. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

The holidays this time round are really long. Now thinking about it, there's a high chance that I could complete my practicals during the long break. That is, provided I'm hardworking enough. But the thing is, I'll usually feel bored because I'm all alone, then, I'll be lazy to go for the practical. =(

Oh well, there's quite a number of things that I wanna do apart from driving. Like, baking, learning make-up, go for facials and hair treatment, and etc. Been wanting to continue my facial sessions, but I'm just lazy to go at times due to the travelling. This reminds me of the phrase, "there are no ugly women, only lazy ones". =X I wanna learn new things too ; no idea what to learn just yet, but I'm always wanting to learn new things. There's seriously a need to tidy my room as well. There are far too much things lying around. =X

Shall blog till here then.

Labels: Driving, Holidays

Met up the other day with Mei Bao and Pei Er to register for BBDC membership. Thanks girls! =) Only Mei Bao managed to register though, because that Pei Er failed her eye test. So gotta meet up another day to accompany her to register. Oh, and I failed my eye test too. Wanted to apply for PDL actually, but I forgot have to go for eye test, so I didn't bring my spectacles. =(

And speaking of BBDC, I went to their website last night and to my surprise, there's quite a number of available slots, with earliest on 27 April, for Final Theory Test. That's weird, because all along the earliest test date available was in June. Actually I wanted to book, but my timetable hasn't yet released. Sigh. Oh by the way, Yan Ling had passed her Final Theory Test already. Congrats!

On the other hand, I've finally decided to register for French lesson. Decided not to risk my results and opted for the foreign language programme. Hopefully everything turns out well. Sad thing is, I didn't know about this programme until December. I could have been able to get a Diploma Plus certificate if I started this programme during the first semester. Because the pre-requisite to this is to complete all six French modules, which means I've to start from the very first semester. =(

Oh, and Mum finally realised she had visited many places in China and have the thought of going on a trip to Taiwan. =D Been wanting to visit Taiwan since second brother and sister-in-law went for a honeymoon in 2008. But just no one wants to bring me along. So hopefully I'll be able to visit Taiwan this time round.

Labels: Driving, Holidays

Holidays has started at last. And that would mean I'll bore at home throughout the three weeks. Actually I had tried looking for jobs for the past weeks, but three weeks are just too short for a job. Those jobs requires one to commit till Chinese New Year at least. I wouldn't be able to do that because I'll be busy once the school reopens, otherwise the second week of school.

So that will mean less time with dear and clique, and also less time for schoolwork. =( Worst still, accounts CA2's before the Chinese New Year. Damn, I won't be able to get good result this time.

Anyway, I'll be sure of make full use of this holiday. First and most important matter on hand is to get sufficient rest, then take good care of my face and diet. Hopefully by the time the school reopens, I'll be able to return to the past me where there ain't (much) pimples. Bless me please. purewhitey, please "bless" me! =X

Next, I have to buck up for accounts. I did very badly for this new topic. Even dear catches up fast. I'm so terribly disappointed in myself.

And lastly, I feel that I'm really into making cookies. Had just looked through one of the recipe books and I'm learning from the basics. Hah, didn't used to learn from basics because it was Mum who taught me how to make those types of cookies. And amazingly, I didn't feel bored reading them, which is a good thing I guess. =D Will look for more recipes then decide on one to make. And of course, will try out more cookies if it's successful. =) Would like to try on cake-making if it's possible.

I've been having double eyelid since I woke up this morning. Having a double eyelid for me implies that I'm either lack of sleep or I'm sick. But weirdly, I don't think I'm tired, neither do I feel sick. =X


I just remembered there's actually a television in my room! Hahs!


12.12.2008

School was rather short today. Had three hours of Smart Ledger in the morning and I'm already almost froze to death in the second hour. =X Went up to the classrom after that but had to wait for quite some time before we went in, reason being I'm still very cold. =X Only 11 of us turned up for the last lesson and teacher let us off early, giving us two chocolates each. Hah, thanks alot. I've been craving for chocolates these days. =) Oh, and thanks dear for the chocolate too. =)

Went Cineleisure for lunch yet again. Haas, three consecutive days. =X And dear owed me something! Humph!

Alright, so our reason for being there again is because dear wants to get the shirt that he tried the day before. I'm glad we went today because that was the last piece. We reserved that shirt and went up to look for something else. I tried on the dress that I took a liking to, as mentioned in the earlier post. Looked rather weird as I'm trying on with my school shoes. ~.~ Changed back to my uniform and dear paid for it. =\ Thanks dear, but don't waste so much on these again alright? Oh, and dear loves me! =D

Headed to that shop after that to get that shirt. While paying for it, we saw something and felt somewhat cheated. =\ Didn't that person said that was the last piece? Why was there another neatly folded one on the counter? Whatever.. Dear finally got his shirt. =) That means I don't owe him any shopping anymore. Yay! =P So.. I'll go shop for my clothes on my own. =D

To sum up the week, I spent quite alot of time with dear. Reason being he's starting work soon, so we won't get to meet that often. Work is more important dear. We'll meet three weeks later when school reopens alright? =P But this time round, it's me who won't be able to spend much time with you. =(


When I go silent all of a sudden, yes, there's something wrong with me.


I saw something when I searched for my tags for "busy" earlier on. The last post for this was on 26.03.2008. And it was posted just before I came over for dinner...

Ahh... The wait is finally over. After waiting for three weeks, the exam schedule is finally released. Exam begins on 8 Sep and ends on 10 Sep. Cool..! I know it's still early, but as you know, I'm always thinking far ahead. Hahs. Gotta start saving money now for the trip.

And you may think I'm crazy, but I seriously need to shed some weights off. Err, fats, I mean. ~.~ I wanna exercise and play some sports. But it's just too bad that no one's accompanying me. Boohoo!

Ah yes, Partnership's a real killer. Seriously. Just one careless mistake, and you could lose 10.5 marks. That's exactly what happened to me. Sighs. =( So yea, you really cannot afford to get careless for Partnership especially.

PS. Fannnn~~ Haven't seen you around for ages. I miss you!

Labels: Disappointed, Exam, Holidays

Today

Exams are just eight days away from now. Oh man, it's so fast! I'm not really prepared yet. I haven't even started on my revision for Business Fundamentals. And I know I'm going to flunk this subject anyway. Accounting is still alright, but I'm totally stucked at a question. Argh! Access CA is coming up on the coming Wednesday. I'm still at a loss at times. Argh! How, how?

I must hang on! There's no time for relaxation until 10 days later, where holidays will begin. And both Aringi and Azhar has SMS-ed me regarding the gathering of our Sec 5N batch. It'll be on the day of my last paper, 11 September. I'm still wondering if I should go. After all, I haven't met them for two years. And our relationship, or friendship I should say, has long turned bland. But I miss them. However, I'll be alone in a corner, too, I guess. I doesn't want to see someone, too. Because I know I'll be reminded of the past - what had happened had hurt me deeply.

----------------

HY:

Aww darling. I've just read your post, and I feel bad about it. =X Whenever I learnt that you are having problem, I wouldn't know what to do. I mean, I don't know how I should help you. Don't know how to console you as well. The only thing I can do is to hope everything will be fine for you. But I just doesn't know how to put these into words. =\ Nevertheless, I'll be behind you always. Must stay happy always okay? Jia you in your studies as well! Lastly, now that you are working, you must take good care of yourself okay? <3

Yet another weekend has passed. It'll be the third week of school since school reopened, with eight more weeks to go before the next school holiday arrives. Counting down... lolx. Time flies indeed. 25th July marks the third month of my school life in the school. Whew! I'm really glad to have struggled through, having been learning what I've always loved.

Well well, my (male) Malay classmates are really cute, or humorous I should say. Hahas! They've been giving me nicknames like "Liverpool", "Torres", Babel... ~_~ Let me quote an example. When one of my classmates wanted to borrow a stapler, one of my Malay classmates would say, "ask Liverpool". lolx. They're quite fun to be mingled with acutally. But I'm really sorry that up till now, (out of these two classmates) I still can't recognise who is who. =\ Sorry yeah.

It's getting late. So I'm stopping for now.
