europe 2007
this was just the best vacation ever lah. thanks to ez and zur for helping to make it happen. we had a blast and i would so totally do it all over again. ok ok so my travelog kinda got truncated around italy or so but hey, the memories will remain with me forever.
closure of loans dept/ transfer new dept
what can i say? work is still the bane of my existence. new management, new style. even though we were making a good profit and were embarking on a whole new marketing campaign, it was not meant to be. was perfectly happy there with my supervisors and colleagues, even though my work scope could've been beefed up a bit. went on a pretty passive job hunt in may, as my bond was ending in july and i wanted out sooo bad. unfortunately i did not manage to find anything suitable, probably due to the fact that i myself did not have a clear idea of what i wanted. in july, i started at my new dept. think it was my partly my fault that i did not fit and and i still don't. i didn't feel the need to put any effort in as i wasn't counting on staying very long. 3 months max, i told myself. 6 months on, i'm still here.
starting 4th year psych
this is why i'm still in my current job. i really don't think there is any other place where i can have the kind of work life balance that i have now. i can take leave anytime, with any amount of notice, i can take time off, i can do school work during office hours, i can skip out on meetings that i'm chairing or attending just cos it's 6pm and i need to go for classes. like seriously, where else will they allow you to skip out on meetings for goodness sake? not to mention the dec and march bonuses. dear god, please please please let the march bonus be worth it for the extra excruciating amount of time i'm spending here. this course is pretty intense and i need all the balance i can get.
relationship
04 07 2007 saw me giving up my 'keep my options open' mantra in favour of commitment and a serious relationship. i have to say it's a great switch and i'm thoroughly enjoying myself. i also have the big event to look forward to/ worry about for the next 375 days. earlier in the day at work i started reminiscing about how it has already been a year since shaz, di and i piled into farn's car to go catch the fireworks at marina bay, followed by a late nite session at simpang. it was pretty cool huh? one year on, i spent a quiet new year's with my bf, playing tennis in the afternoon and at night, walking from parkway parade to siglap and having a coffee there- and there's no place else i'd rather be than with him, anytime, anywhere. of cos this doesn't mean that i can't have a social life but it seems that a lot of people are nani-ing too. wahaha. u know who u are!
u and me we can light up the sky if u stay by my side we can rule the world
moving house
goodbye peaceful reservoir, hello ghetto tamp. we finally made the move after the board won against the dude who didn't wanna sell and took it all the way to high court only to get thrown own pretty much immediately. hah! padan muka. we also felt kinda cheated cos this was supposed to happen a year ago, and guess what happened in that one year. that's right, the property market heated up and prices went sky high. meaning that we naturally had to pay higher prices for a house now. damn u, u greedy bastard! at least we got a pretty good price on our place. my new room is quite awesome even though it's smaller by a crapload than my old room. ah well. the rest of the house is pretty cool too.
damn u kavi for introducing me to this! wahaha. enough said. had an brief but intense affair with graffiti on superwall (dead now), scrabulous (which is waning) and having a current obsession with fluff friends. my al dente is whoopin' ass y'all. facebook is not helping me stop my procrastinating. argh!
with that said, i guess i'll do my resolutions another day.
HAPPY NEW YEAR &
HOPE YOU'LL HAVE AN
AWESOME 2008!!
