Bored in the office...

Its strange that it feels so different handling a "normal" project now...
I can't seem to get used to the "non-hassle" & "non-panicky" parts...

Its been at least 6 months since i experienced this kind of calm where I am.

Feels good i guess... but the past 6 months has "trained" me to worry that I have something that I might have left undone. So now, with this calm floating around me, I keep thinking "This isn't real, there IS something that I have to do..."


Strange...


On a better note!

My leave got approved and I'll be jetting off on 27 midnight to Perth oh PERTH for Aaron's wedding...


Can't wait... All the cousins, relatives, the family and the boy friend's gonna all be together at the same place, on the same holiday in the same country!

Awesome Pawsome yo!


Was thinking of what to wear to the wedding... Might wear the dress that Chris's mum gave me...=) Its a really sweet umpire cut dress from her younger days... Its gorgeous!


BUT! I think i can't fit into it already!! hahaha! since the last time she gave it to me, I've been "working" on building a ring of fats aroudn my waist... You know the sort that gives you layers and lines on your tummy when you sit down...Yeah...they're showing... My jobs making me fat... Another reason to leave...LOL!!! I'm so full of nonsense...


I have 2 weeks to shed this "Ring of Wonder"!

I don't need to eat less, I need to excercise!

Another reason for me to leave work on time!!


Here's a little something that has been circulating the office email...hehehe...

Old times old FUN times...

So I was browsing through my "bookmarks" on my computer and stumbled upon my old blog, and decided to give it a visit...

Boy did I have some memories with my blog entries... hahaha!

Here's some... Starting from the latest...

*Click the titles to get linked*

Tim surprised me with a treasure hunt to keep me entertained while working at GWC. Was damn fun...

Bangkok trip with mum... was so damn fun...didn't shop much, but it was fun just being away with mum...

I was a police woman that year... hahaha! I celebrated most of my Halloween night working at Island Creamery... it was fun, we all dressed up...=)

Will never forget that feeling...=)

Sweetness in a little bundle...

And I've got videos too...to my friends who know me as a retard at times...here's more of a reason to think so! LOL!

The start of my singing and dancing career... LOL! YEAH RIGHT!


The ultimate video that won me a "lip sync" award at my UB graduation bash... After you watch this, you'll never look at me the same...

ENJOY!

The weekend's here again! YAY!

The past week has been really sweet and short for me...
Work Monday, MC Tuesday, Work Wednesday, Leave Thursday, Work Friday...WEEKEND!

And its gonna be a long weekend for me...=) *Big Grin*... I'm taking leave on Monday again! Woot...

I need this break...from the madness at the office...

Its kinda, in a teeny tiny way sad that I have very little drive in what I do in this job now... I guess the lack of appreciation and the adding of negative feedback and shit talking only makes it that way...

It's ok, i only need to hang it out for about another...hmmm.... few more months... =)

On a good note... The start of Saturday has been a good one...
1) Body clock woke me up at 8.30am.
2) Carpenter Chris and I helped mummy fix up her new IKEA cupboard.

and later...
3) Chris and I are going to his friend's place for hang-out session...(time to socialize)

Now... I'm gonna head to clear my cupboard cause come Monday, I'll have a new wardrobe! YAY!
The carpenters are currently working on the wardrobe in my parents room (the sound of the nail gun scares the shit out of mum, chris and I), then my bedroom cupboard, and then my OTHER bedroom cupboards...
(In case you're wondering y have 2, let me refresh your memory. Remember we converted my bedroom into a studio? so I've moved into the room next door. my clothes are still in my old room though...)

So anyway... I can't wait to clear out my clothes... I have a ton of clothes that i don't wear anymore, so they're gonna go into a garage sale ($$$Moooollaah$$$), AND some are
going to my cousin in Perth...

Which means...MORE ROOM FOR MORE CLOTHES!!!

Oh yeah... and here's a picture of the new addition into the Tan family... so darn cute...
This was taken almost a month ago!Last weekend I went by and took more pics, haven't uploaded them onto the comp yet... soon! maybe tomorrow...

Even though its over, i still feel crappy

So finally, the big ass project I've been handling is finally over.

Of course, the boss will eventually take all the credit...

What i find becomes what she found...
What I did will be come what she did...
BUT! what mistake happens, or what other don't like... becomes... what I did...

But i reached a point where i just shut it out... Now is just to sit and wait... till December... Steph... hang in there with me...=) We'll make it...

So yesterday, after every guest had their fun, and my feet was sore, pain and full of numbness from running up 3 floors, and down 2 floors to go back to the 2nd floor and then to the atrium and then back in again... and most of the time, at the bossiness of "the second wanna fucking be boss".

"You should go stand by boss in the store, see if she needs help"
So I go, i ask if she's enjoying herself, she snubs me off and says "yeah, yeah, yeah", gives me the hand flick and turns away... I ask if she needs anything, she ignores me... So I stand by her, ignored, and not introduced to the people she's P, fucking R-ing with despite my obvious presence beside her for a good 5 mins... i walk off... finally...

Only to walk out, and then get bossed at AGAIN... and so the list of bossiness continues...

Few minutes later, she sees me and scolds me for not having me and my other colleagues to stand by her to handle the media cause there are too many for her to handle... great... ignore me for being by you... HAhaha... crazy nut!

we HAD to go for "celebratory" drinks... To be honest, my thoughts of "celebratory" was not to have to spend it with them... if it was just with Steph and Lincoln, THEN would it be celebratory!

I thought that it being all over, would make me feel happy again... but even now, as I watch what time i have left of Saturday tick its way by... I still have the same feeling of "i don't wanna go back to work on Monday" feeling. It's strange though. But as the event slowly came to a close, and i stood at the registration table, watching our guests slowly get lesser and lesser I did tell myself..."good job val... you managed to pull this off..." but at the same time, i just wanted to squat down behind the table and sob a little...

I can't explain the feeling, but I guess i was kinda sad that i did not really seem to feel THAT proud of myself for what I had done... This project drained so much of life out of me... I just would have rather turned back time, have my life from May - October back, than to stand there and force myself to feel like i achieved something. strange huh???

The 1 thing I enjoyed though...was having people come up to me and telling me I did a good job rather than going to *ahem* "her" to say those words. Its good to see that others probably recognized that I was the 1 who did this... I hope......

BTW...i Love this video... =) hahaha! anyways, side note... the beginning of the video, how the guy feels... is how i feel every morning to work... LOL! I know i'm not alone on this!

Grunge!! Love you girls!

Ok so... recently i joined a competition with my friends and we got into the Semifinals which were held in Genting. Though we didn't get into the Finals (i mean we're not great, but we're working on it), i was very happy i got the chance to actually participate in a competition.

Trust me, it took me alot of effort, blood sweat and tears to be able to go cause of fucking work and the terror that commands it all.

So here's our performance. =) to my Grunge girls - Steph, Cass, Deb and V... Thanks for making it a great experience! and the long journey from Audition days in July/August to the Quarters and then the Semis in September...
