a great exodus to wordpress. Somehow everybody’s blog is in wordpress.. Well done wordpress! i give you 5 stars.. haha

Catching up on much rest this CNY before work starts on Wed and a long 2 months of no break arrives. You see, I never noticed these things, it’s my colleagues at work… anyway.. other than visiting, i’ve been watching a million episodes of Whose line is it anyway on Youtube. It’s soooooooooooooo funny… eh, victor finds it very funny k.. if Victor finds it funny, it IS FUNNY! And yet another addition to overcome and curb. I’ve been laughing so much during this holiday but once the ear phones are off, the atmosphere drops. I guess that’s why people get hooked on TV/drama/etc, because it provides a way out of normal mundane drudgery of life and let you experience other people’s exciting ones.

I recently just recovered (like only on friday) from a mild food poisoning incident (DON’T eat egg sandwich in the afternoon that you bought in the morning) that includes but not limited to fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea and bad body ache. So the doc gave me medicine for diarrhoea and fever/body ache and charcoal, the charcoal’s really effective. Anyway so i just slowly got better and much to my despair, the medicine for diarrhoea was MUCH toooo effective and i ended up with case of constipation. It’s as bad if not worse than diarrhoea in my opinion. Saving the concrete details, I’m very glad to announce that i’m functioning properly now. I happily announced it to my parents yesterday after the guest went home after visiting us and resume eating much too much for my body’s own good.

And to miss charlene lye, i miss you toooo!! your taiwan trip was WAY too long lor..

And so inspired by my missing of charlene, i decided to do this card. hahah it’s in charlene’s favourite colour too..

ok la.. i’m selling it la.. at http://cardsncraft.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/missing-you-2/

Oh did i mentioned… due to some misscommunication and so on and so forth, i didn’t pay out salary to one of the staff in my school… it’s one of the reason why i’m dreading to go to work tomorrow. Because it’s much more than just writing a cheque and paying her… besides that 1 million administrative details that have to be settled (like signatories), it also affects my performance at work.

It adds to the careless-ness image that i have at work.. arghh it’s these things that just turns on the pressure at work. and make me all the more upset when i do make a mistake at work that can be attributed to my carelessness even though there are other reasons that plays a part. It’s just that people tend to focus on that ONE thing and label you as that. It’s such a simple word in Primary School when you say 5+8 = 12 and the teacher writes in your report card that you’re careless in maths. But for it to be tied in to your character, it’s really quite bad. Because it carries with it an attitude of i-don’t-care, not attentive to details, not bothered. I’m trying to get rid of that label… quite sticky though, because almost every mistake can be attributed to carelessness.

yet… it’s almost impossible not to make ANY mistake at work. When told to the parents, my mom said that it’s affecting me a lot right now because of my position at work. I basically have no power and I’m in no position to quietly rectify the mistakes i make. That’s why every small problem is being shown to the boss since she’s the only one that can help me with the solution.

With the tradition of yearly spring cleaning, our family decided to start earlier so that we wouldn’t die on CNY eve. and we can slowly clear out the trash. So it was cleaning out the room and looking through the cards and diary entries. and just decided that some has just got to go… haha

So now i’m suffering from the after math of dust and uncleanliness that my eyes beheld when i was cleaning out my stuff. So i did some cards to recover. haha stupid…

ANYWAY…

The ribbon was from a packaging.. haha reuse, reduce, recycle ok.. WE”RE GOING GREEN!

Haha i just said that because i just received an email at work to remind everybody to off all electronic applicances before we leave the office because it’s good to be GREEN.

I’ve been wanting to participate EVERY WEEK! but…. the challenege always ends on Thursday night, and i usually have no brain cells left active at the end of a weekday.. so.. i’m very glad that this week’s design challenge ends on a weekend night.

Anyway… tada..

Wellllll i gotta admit that it’s not THAT close to the colours involved, but at least it has a tinge of the colours required in this challenge.. haha what’s important.. is that I’VE MADE A CARD! which is a challenge by itself considering what is on my plate at the moment.

A little too fast to be entering 2009 already. I’m not ready yet, but as if that would make time stand still until i’m ready to embrace the new year. My time frame has been confined week to week with work requirements labelling them. Like this week was training week and my week has gone by in a blur with responsibilities and things to do, and i reach home each day hoping that holidays would come soon. And so….. suddenly 2009 is here.

I haven’t close certain chapters in 2008 yet, and not ready to start anything in 2009. I might take another month just to do that… and so 2009 is reduced to 11 months.

I was unexpectedly required to serve during watchnight service because samuel hurt his fingers. Left hand somemore, it’s totally impossible to play anything with fingers like that. It was different playing last night. Apart from feeling more sleepy than usual. I was on the verge of closing my eyes and shutting off my mind and let the muscles do the job during altar call songs. And i was yawning till i was tearing like siao. So.. i was really tired.. Haha it was waaaay past my bed time. But i was so privilege to serve, the atmosphere was really different, i enjoyed myself so much and since a long time, God’s presence seemed unusually close (err..quite sad ah for me to actually say that)

On tuesday, it suddenly dawn on me that the new students of SOM are starting school next week! ah! that’s fast! and i’m so excited for them. in fact, i wished i was in their shoes, i really don’t mind going through everything there again. it’s like how God seems closer there…….

I JUST realised that Brian is in the stop sniffing glue advert.. i keep watching them in TV mobile and i like them… I consistently like the stop sniffing glue range of adverts and the HSBC ones. Talking about friends, i haven’t spend time with most of them recently. I haven’t gone to any gathering whatsoever cos i just wanted to stay home. Haha, have grace on someone who just started work and still getting used to it..
