Sometimes you just have to keep Scrolling Down...

Was clearing my emails and came across one that says:

.... Hope you find this mail in Great Spirit!!!

Kind of lifted me up a little and prompted myself to read further.

Ah.. they are looking for a data center technician...

Why is this landing in my email when those alien alphabets dont make any sense to me?

When I scrolled towards the end of the mail, finally something that I could relate to:

If you don"t go after what you want, you'll never have it.

If you don"t ask, the answer is always no.

If you don"t step forward, you"re always in the same place... So Move ahead...

2nd Day

Witnessed a major event today and it brought back memories of the past.
I still find it hard to let go, to believe that I'm no longer a part of the entity. This isnt a good sign.

Some asked: 'Eve, 你不要我们了吗？'

'我没有不要你们, I love my people'

Hope I can carry these beautiful memories with me and not be so emotionally drained.

Lets jiayou and pursue our dreams bravely!

Celebrating Labor Day...
... by Enjoying the Simple Pleasures of Life!

The WSC OVE gang decided to venture to JB, Malaysia to celebrate Labor Day!
Just when you thought that staying in City Square sounds bored, especially when i was about to tell you we stayed there for the whole day, take a look at the pictures and you may have a second thought =)

Gathered at Woodlands MRT around 9am before we board bus 950 to cross the custom. This was my first trip being suspended, resume and suspended again haha! Being a good kiddo, there's no termination dont worry heh.

Reached City Square almost 12 noon due to the jam, kinda expected that since its public holiday. Headed straight to Kim Gary restaurant with high recommendations from Ronald.

They have more varieties displayed in their menu compared to the ones in sgp. We spent quite some time browsing through before placing our order from the Fish Market menu for lunch.

This is the Norwegian Salmon blah blah blah... We came up with the idea of tagging these food to us so that those who missed out on the good food would be able to get the share as well haha.

Corn = Sherlyn

Tomato = Thong Loon

Brocoli = Kelly

Salmon = Wei Ching

Calamari = Pho

Prawn = Ian

Clam = Ronald

Wedges = Me

What's after a satisfying meal? A group photo of course!


Its time to do some retail therapy for digestion heh. Didnt know trying a pair of shoes could be so much fun! Mu Yang Papa commented that my foot looked bandage, and we were all so proud of this master piece that we had to signify victory for it.

Yes, we were still in this shoe shop taking more pics, as Sherlyn commented that the backdrop looks good with the sunshine wor.

As we proceed up to the last level, we went to check out the movies cost and schedule. Checking the cost required abit more skill, where we peeped at the screen when others were making payment heh. Since it cost only RM10, we immediately bought tix for the movie, Uninvited. Had a laugh when we settled down in the theare, as the 3rd row from the front was really very front! Even the 1st row from the front back home wasnt that front ya know?

Dinner was at the sizzling stone grill restaurant and it was testing our patience as cooking and slicing the meat was found to be very tedious! Not for the lazy bums and aching arms, for we had to repeatedly turn the meat round so that it wouldnt get stick on to the stone grill.

Gave up on the usual flipping and we started exploring innovative ways of cooking, such as slicing the meat and stir fry it! We had so much fun that any vegetables that came along the way were not spared.

Presenting to you our master piece...

Smiley!

Sad

Sad with eye brow

O shape mouth

Funky fido dido

Nothing much left as most food were cooked already when we reached the final master piece

'Playing' with the food not only entertained us, it also ensured that the food were stir fried and thoroughly cooked, with additional flavorings from the vegetables hee. We were good farmers who dont waste food, and to end this off, we headed to our 2nd round at Secret Recipe next door.

The ramen girl was on the big screen, and we have the lasagne guy right here!


Sherlyn started using the leftover creams on the cakes as her play dough.

Our love love to Wei Ching!

After a whole day at City Square, here's the verdict from the nuasters:
Lets meet at City Square instead of City Hall for our next gathering haha! Eat, sing, movie - you name it, they have it!

1st Post of Year 2009

I had always wanted to post something to conclude the end of Year 2008 and embrace the new year. However the lazy bugs get the better of me so it ends up all virtual thinking without action heh (whats new huh?)

Looking back 365 days of 2008, a huge portion of my time was spent on work. Those days where you worked past midnight, sometimes weekends, occasionally public holidays, but still, the workload never seemed to decrease. Undeniably, its also through this pile of work where i get to learn new things, interact with night shift staff, and learnt more about myself under different circumstances.

My boss bought me supper for Payroll week, nice gesture! =)

But hey! I do get my fair share of fun as well. Otherwise, all work and no play makes Eve a dull gal ya know? heh. Catching up with friends for gossipy sessions + a getaway to HK for shopping and makan were great ways to rejuvenate hee. A fruitful 2008, minus the fact that I still didnt pursue the things that I've been wanting to do/ learn all the while... Never mind I thought, for I have Y2009 to continue my resolutions...

Being a kiddo in HK Ocean Park

So Y2009 came and we are now in Q2. Q1 has just passed and I shared with some that 20 Jan 09 had been one of the most stressful night since I started working. It was my company's D&D, and it was the first time we had this. I felt that all 450 happiness were dependent on my 1 emcee, and it was a tremendous pressure to ensure the show ran well. I certainly wouldnt want the budget to go to waste, and all my staff deserved this to reward for their past performance and a night for us to unwind and have fun. The night is yours, and truly, everyone transformed overnight into cool dudes and beautiful ladies. I have to thank my committee for this, if not we wouldnt be able to done it.

The preparation stage, 2 hours before the final showdown, and my committee String is busy being the photographer to capture our hardwork haha

So the Hollywood Nite was over and it was a busy month of deep dive and T&A project. Looking towards the fun side of Q2, a Malaysia trip was planned on Labor Day and Taiwan trip in May. I remembered my first Labor Day ever since I started working was spent in office, calling up interns and sending emails invites. Some of the interns were surprised that we do actually work on public holiday! Oh well, what could I say haha... But rest assured that this aint gonna happen again because I wouldnt be in SGP, aka, no access to labtops hee.

April is a peak period of hard work before I embark the journey of fun in May. Hope all are doing well and lets work hard and play hard!

Another First Time...

Went for tourist trips, went for exchange program... This time round its on a business trip to China, Shanghai.
Its kinda different feeling, coz for a start, I've to fly alone to Shanghai to meet my boss and agent.
Not a big deal to fly alone, coz afterall there are signs everywhere and 'road on the mouth'. Its just kinda lonely and bored. There's nobody that i could talk to, and nobody to take photos with. Felt kinda silly to zi pai, so i only took one pic of myself before i quickly hide my cam heh.... dont wish to be caught in the act =O

Its a good experience to be independent and alert, keeping track of time every now and then in case i missed the flight =p Went to tour around Terminal 3 and realise they have some interesting stuff like a free movie theatre for you to 'sleep' inside, some spa and therapy that you would have to pay. And oh, this internet that i'm using is free as well. Waiting for the boarding gate to be opened... although its just half an hour more to go before the plane departs.

Wasnt prepared to go on this trip due to the huge amount of work that's ongoing. However, there will never be a time that i'll be prepared so lets just go and learn from there. Hope things will go on smoothly! Till then~

Memories are made of these...

Was looking through the photos and realise that time flies.
The journey that we took with different groups of friends - how have they been?

I hope things stay good, or even better for everyone.

Happy convocation/ commencement for Class 2008! Cheers!

Random Thoughts

16 Jun 08

Its interesting to see how humans react under different circumstances. By doing different things, or doing the same things in a different manner, one is able to learn much from it. Observe not just what other people do, but how they do it as well. Talking to people subconsciously allows me to do some self-reflection, of how I reacted to different circumstances, my Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions (TEA concept). Not exactly a mature way to kick start June, but I'll do better in July heh.

Just when I thought I could catch a breather, there comes another wave where I've to learn how to sail without learning the ropes. What if there's no time to learn? Well, somehow or rather, things always manage to straighten out in the end isn't it? With deadlines, its either things get done or face the music -alone. Given that the latter's consequences are often too much to bear, the choice is obvious.

There's a saying, 'If you dont plan, you are planning to fail.'

I would like to add an additional line to it.

'If you do plan, please add in some flexibility as well.'

Otherwise, with the amount of ad-hoc matters going around, you will be overwhelmed and grabbing whatever lifeboats thats around.

I dont' grab lifeboats, I grab the Luge!

Slow and steady wins the race.

Fast and furious gets the shiokness!
