I am demoralized after seeing a doctor today. He kept scaring me by saying that my wound would take at least 6 months to recover, and there is a big probability that the scar will remained.
When I was trying to calm myself down, he continued by saying how important a face is, especially for a lady, and how I might have ruined my future… He even asked me to find the guy who caused the accident and ask me to marry him :s What kind of doctor is this!!
And instead of giving me a proper dressing, he stick an oversize hansaplant to my chin and asked for $35. I felt stupid walking out from the clinic :s
Scar or not, one thing for sure, I will never go back there anymore. You can call me a coward who doesn’t want to hear the fact, but I really can’t tolerate his attitude :s
Resting,

July and Hospital
July hasn’t been as busy as June (at least for now). Some news, like the sudden death of MJ has been covering news paper for one week and more. The news itself is shocking, but I am even more surprised to know that he is already 50! That means all the other famous singers in his era, has been around that ages as well. Half decade. How fast time flies.
MJ has been a legend. My all time favorite is “You’re not alone”. It sounds so comforting and full of sincerity. MJ, may you rest in peace. Thanks for bringing so many wonderful songs to the world :)
Enough about MJ. For my rotation, it has been a great 3 days :) This is my first time being in such a big team, where everyone is talking about technology and implementation. I got excited, yes, but I haven’t been able to contribute much yet. The team is big and I haven’t known exactly who is doing what. My very first challenge will be to remember all their names. I almost twist my own tongue and still can't get the name perfect ^^;
My new office @ Alexandra
The new 2009 grads have came and joined on Wednesday, 1st july. Their presence really brings back the memories of the naïve me one year back. Hope that they will enjoy the programme as much as I did (minus the stolen bag part).
On Friday, after finishing work, I met up with the other 2008 grads at Novena, to celebrate the fact that we have been working for a year and still being together :D We played the Rockband @ Gaminghow for 2 hours, before heading back to home.
On Saturday, I slept like a pig until almost 1, then went to help Julianto moving his stuff to Lake Side and went directly to East Coast for cycling.
Fighterz @ East Coast
Believe it or not, that is my first time being in East coast, after staying in Singapore for more than 5 years =.=’ the place was nice. We rent a bike each ($6/ hrs) and started cycling at around 5.45, hence the sun wasn’t very hot, and the wind was just nice. We cycled until the end of the route, took pictures, then headed back to the bike shop.
That is when the incident happened. There was a guy in front of me had been cycling in a very weird way. He moved left and right, slow and fast. I tried to avoid him several times, but in the end…
My front wheel crashed with his back wheel. I fell down from my bike, with my face kissed the ground first, as my hand was stucked at the handler. My heart was really ripping when I feel the cement hit my face, twice. I then quickly try to rise up, which wasn’t hard because my leg and hand were alright. When I touch my forehead, I was really close to break with tear. I can feel a big bruise, as big as chicken egg, came out instantly from by forehead. I then touch my chin and I can feel the blood dipping from there. My face!! T_T
Anyway, I know that there is nothing I can do to turn back time.. so after some first aid from my friends (thanks all), I cycle to the bike shop, return the bike, then took a taxi to Changi Hospital (sorry Tom to drag you along :p). They are quite professional there, so I was discharged in less then half hour, after all the screening, xray, injection, dressing, and 4 types of medicine to be taken everyday (oh, and a MC certificate as well :p) That cost $75, which I feel quite reasonable with their services :)
I reached back home at around 11, applied the medication, and went to bed at around 1. The medicine was really a strong sleeping pill… I was totally unconscious until the next day at 12.
On Sunday, after my lunch, I had the medicines again.. and… I was really drowsy. I tried to keep myself awake by typing blog. I managed to survive the nap, but my blog turns out to be so unorganized T_T still.. I am too sleepy to fix them up. Haha..
Ok ba, that’s all for this week. Just finish my Sarpinos Pizza and answering call from my family around the globe (dunno how my incident news travel so fast).
My life is full of unexpected events, but I kind of treasuring them. It shows how my friends and family care about me :p
Movie next!

The Anniversary
At this very same day, a year ago, I was full of anticipation.
Now, after one year of working life, I’m recalling back on what had been my expectations on that memorable day. Thing wasn’t really far off, although it has made a lot of unexpected turns.
I started off with zero knowledge about business process, but I wasn’t really worried about that. I was so sure that they hire me because of my technical expertise, till I was told that I was just made a very big wrong assumption.
Despite being in IT department, there is no development going on. At all. The most technical stuff I can find was to make test cases and liaise with vendor. I feel very uncomfortable at that time. If my core competency – my knowledge of software engineering – wasn’t put into practice at all, I am no difference from a JC graduate. I started to panic, knowing that I wouldn’t be contributing as much as I want.
It was only after few months then I realized their reasons for hiring me. No they are not looking for an expert in the field. They are looking for someone that they can nurture, to have a high level view of the organization, and to have the experience of how every team works. I was flattered and skeptical at the same time. I was not convinced that it’s going to work out for me.
Time passed by, and I moved on to different teams. The more team I work with, the clearer I can see the value of the arrangement. In the end, I’m thankful that I can make meaningful suggestions to my team, just because I learnt it from my other team. I started to focus a lot in business processes, and quite accept the fact that my technical expertise might be left unused.
But the plot wasn’t last long. With the organization decision to revamp their business strategies, focus was no longer to nurture people. Rather, it’s to find the people who can do it at the lowest possible cost. I’m now misaligned with the strategies, and hence Plan B is executed.
The plan B kicked off today, right on my one year anniversary. After working at DBS and ORQ, I’m now located at 911 Alexandra. Rather than working with stock, price, fund, order, I will now work with select, insert, execute, debug. Wasn’t this what I have been wishing for since the first day? To be on technical side and talk about the topic I’m comfortable with? Sometimes I really feel that God hear my voices (even though with some lagging. ehem.)
Now, instead of jumping out when waken up after 7, I can still roll around after 8. Instead of being in a team with no guy, I’m now the only gal during lunch. Instead of talking about school holiday, I’m discussing about new iphone application. And instead of going home after 12, I reached home before 9.
Is this what I want? I don't know. But I realize that I can't ask for more than that. I truly find that this is a good opportunity for me to find out, if I'm really what I thought I was. Let see what I have to say on my second anniversary. For now, I’m engaged to GBIT.
Happy Anniversary,

I've been missing...
I really don’t want to abandon my blog. Not after so many years of writing.
At the same breath, this is almost 12, and if I don’t sleep before mid night, it will ruin my whole week.
All compromises taken into account, I decided to only write the important turning points I had from these last two weeks.
I didn’t blog last weekend because preparing for a presentation on Monday. The ending was good, I was happy, but I’m assuming too early that I can relax from there on.
This week, I have been rushing between projects, interviews, leadership talks, event organizing, day-to-day operations, farewells, and slightly frustrated with the fact that my Australian Visa got rejected. Need to take another trip back there in a week T_T
Next week, I’m waiting for few big things. It will mark the one year of my working life, I will change team, change office, change working hour, and unexpectedly, change department... all of them are very sudden. I think whatever other surprises that might come won’t shock me anymore.
This weekend, I have been going out more that what I have done for the past few months. Oh, and finally, I fulfilled my promise to stay at Inche’s place. Haha.. I got to watch Transformer as well, the so-hot movie right now. The movie was good, but as the time went and I realized that the weekend run out, my mind can’t help to wonder around. Suddenly all the upcoming events seems too fast and I come very unprepared.
This week will be a good time to test my adaptation skill. Wish me best of luck.
And I think this week will be the first day of work to quite some people as well :p best of luck!

In the Mid of the Year
This has been the most exhausting month so far. Suddenly, the choice of not moving out becomes one of the best decisions made. I’m mentally exhausted, with all the anxiety towards my presentation next week. Why am I so troubled with presentation? Why on earth presentation exists at the first place! Haha (I know this is not relevant)
Talking about presentation, my last one was more than one year ago, which was my faithful FYP presentation. At that time, I’m presenting to a professor, about a project that I know with all my heart, and I’m all sweat. This time around, I’m going to present to 3 directors, about my dunno-what 6 weeks project, which will affect my future in the company. For that, I haven’t even started a slide. Just kill me already.
Anyway, I read through my last year’s post… and I envy the old me. Things were so much vibrant during University time. Have I changed? Am I becoming an ignorant? And the thing that I scared the most… is my life stagnant?
This week, despite my crazy schedule, I decided to meet up with a financial planner (a better word for insurance agent), and he walked me through some of the planning stage. I was ready to answer honestly all the questions, but his first question has already stunned me out.
“When do you want to retire?”
Not that I don’t want to answer, I just never think about it YET. It’s just too far ahead for me. For me, it sounds similar to asking a primary school student of when he/she wants to get married. In the end - don’t want to look stupid, I make up a quick answer “40”.
Come to think again about it now, it is definitely not a well-thought answer ^^; even if I can save half my salary, retiring in 40 means that I only have 18 years of saving, and can only survive until 58, taking all other variables into constant. So now I know that retiring at 40 can’t be possible if I decide to do nothing with my life. Stagnant is a big no.
Another question of “what is your dream?” almost convinces me that I have to hire a planner. I don’t know what I want exactly :( let the day slip day by day… definitely not what we have to do with our life.
Now I need to start to think about my dream. What is the perfect future am I expecting? To travel around the world? It sounds fun… but has never be my biggest desire so far. Any other nice ideas? :p
Am I too realistic to dream or a boring person with no dream :s

Two Side of a Coin
Do you agree that there are always two ways to look at something?
Take an example which is close to my heart…
When people gave you more and more work…
Do you look at it as an evident of trust?
Or do you think that they are trying to throw their responsibility to you?
The perception matters a lot. The first will motivate and give you the sense of achievement in doing the work, while the latter will make you exhausted - physically and mentally - thinking that people has been unfair and you shouldn’t be the one to do the job in hand.
You might be happier if you’re a person with positive perception towards everything. In fact, I WAS a person with that way of thinking. My belief started to shake when I heard people pitying me and advised on how I should have the courage to say no whenever I feel overloaded.
Let’s me analyze my situation more thoroughly with few more examples.
First. I listened to my friend advice and start to think
Should I perceive myself as a person who opens up to opinion?
Or a person who has no stands and easily influence by other?
Two. When I’m given a work that’s not my expertise and I accept it
Should I treat it as a challenge and opportunity to expand myself?
Or am I just being ignorant of my own limit and greedy to accept everything?
Third. When a person is asking for assistance and I offer to help
Should I be proud of myself to be proactive?
Or am I worth laughing as I’m throwing arrow to myself?
Fourth. When I am not outspoken but making conscious effort to talk more
Should I be happy of myself that I keep trying to improve?
Or am I just being silly trying to break and change my own personality?
Fifth. When I struggling but surviving my work
Should I feel that it’s normal and I am adapting to my new comfort zone?
Or am I just don’t have the courage to get out and start fresh?
The list can go on and on. But basically, I just don’t know how to evaluate myself. Even when I decided to think positively about myself, I’m wondering if I AM actually in a self denial mode and just try to justify my actions with all the excuses. Oh gosh T____T
What is the name of this weird disease of mine?
Should I call it a well self-awareness?
Or is this what we known as the feeling of insecurity?
Irregardless, I know I am happy to meet up with my high school classmate this weekend :D
@ Indo Padang, The Cathay
…Or am I just trying to convince myself that I have spent my weekend meaningfully? Hahaha! This one is a bit too much =.=''

The Mid Module Training
It has been a pretty exhausting week. Oh gosh, I feel sleepy simply by recalling all the events.
Sunday was supposed to be my project day… but imitidated with meeting the guys and girls from aussie and japan, I went all out: visiting Sentosa, jealousing their stay at Swisshotel, and dining in Suntec Plaza. Afterwards, they went off for Night safari and I went straight home, just to be welcomed by a bunch of house works. After ironing the last piece of my cloth, I dropped to bed and sleep.
After Sentosa
Monday was bluer than usual. That’s because I needed to wake up earlier and reached Raffles Convention Center at 8. Never mind with reaching at 8, I didn’t expect that they assumed us to have our breakfast already! My stomach ended up singing loudly in class until 11, when we finally had some tea break before the real lunch at around 13.00. Thanks God the lunch was awesome. The training continued until 6, before we got our business speaker series and headed for the networking event until 10. I have no mood to drink at all. I tried my best to sleep before 12, but pretty hard as the weather was hot and my aircon was broken.
Tuesday was a happier day because we started at 9. Learning from experience, I grabbed 2 slices of Breadtalk on my way to training center. This time, I’m too full and almost fell asleep during training. The training was good, I’m not kidding, and time passed pretty fast. I went back to office at around 7, clearing my 500 emails, and then having dinner at Lau Pa Sat before heading to Brewerkz. I reach back home at around 12, and slept after shower.
Brewerkz (Never know how to pronounce it)
Wednesday was my last day of training. The training was terminated gracefully. Never before had I taken training so focus on every one of us. After the class, we have a great lunch and a debrief until around 4. I was really glad to reach back home at around 6.30 for that day, managed to get some swimming before dinner and doing some preparation for the project meeting on the next day.
The yummiest dessert from the training
On Thursday, I went back to office. My work had already piled up, and the meetings took up half of my day. I spent the rest of my day trying to get ready for the next day. The day doesn’t end at 6. I went for dinner at 7, and then headed towards China One and Pump Room for the farewell parties. The companions were awesome, but I had my limit with 3 Vodka Oranges. I am glad that I could still make it home, drag my self to shower, before knocked unconscious until the next day.
Friday was very challenging. I needed to concentrate a lot as one of my colleagues was on leave, and I have been exhausted through out the week. I ended up skipping my lunch and apologizing to my team mate for not being able to attend an internal project discussion. Thanks so much for being so dependable, mates. I ended my day at 8, headed towards PS and had a great dinner treat by Helios, the birthday guy. Happy Birthday Helios! I choose the right day for skipping lunch, don’t I? I had at least 5 slices of pizza. Haha.. We chatted until around 11, catching the last train to bukit batok, and getting a taxi to reach back home. Thanks I didn’t have to hike. I was so exhausted before deciding to sleep at 2.
Happy Birthday to Helios
Saturday… is finally here. I couldn’t sleep as much as I want though. I went to Sata Clinic to get my medical check up for PR, and then went to Bugis to buy the most delicious swiss cake in Singapore. Afterwards, I went back home, had some rest, then sent my flatmate back to Medan. Oh gosh, I want to go home too!! Haha.. but there is so much to be settled before I can start to plan for holiday… sigh.
I can’t believe that May is ending and June is peeping from the corner. There are so many things to do in June, with no holiday to be expected T_T Sometime I don’t know what I want. I am hoping this June Month-of-Project to go off soon, but then I realize that there are more and more stuff coming after that. Life is never boring, huh?
Tired, exhausted. Apologize for all the grammatical error as my eyes are left with 5 watt.

I went back to office at around 7, clearing my 500 emails, and then having dinner at Lau Pa Sat before heading to Brewerkz. I reach back home at around 12, and slept after shower.
Brewerkz (Never know how to pronounce it)
Wednesday was my last day of training. The training was terminated gracefully. Never before had I taken training so focus on every one of us. After the class, we have a great lunch and a debrief until around 4. I was really glad to reach back home at around 6.30 for that day, managed to get some swimming before dinner and doing some preparation for the project meeting on the next day.

On Thursday, I went back to office. My work had already piled up, and the meetings took up half of my day. I spent the rest of my day trying to get ready for the next day. The day doesn’t end at 6. I went for dinner at 7, and then headed towards China One and Pump Room for the farewell parties. The companions were awesome, but I had my limit with 3 Vodka Oranges. I am glad that I could still make it home, drag my self to shower, before knocked unconscious until the next day.
Friday was very challenging. I needed to concentrate a lot as one of my colleagues was on leave, and I have been exhausted through out the week. I ended up skipping my lunch and apologizing to my team mate for not being able to attend an internal project discussion. Thanks so much for being so dependable, mates. I ended my day at 8, headed towards PS and had a great dinner treat by Helios, the birthday guy. Happy Birthday Helios! I choose the right day for skipping lunch, don’t I? I had at least 5 slices of pizza. Haha.. We chatted until around 11, catching the last train to bukit batok, and getting a taxi to reach back home. Thanks I didn’t have to hike. I was so exhausted before deciding to sleep at 2.
Happy Birthday to Helios
Saturday… is finally here. I couldn’t sleep as much as I want though. I went to Sata Clinic to get my medical check up for PR, and then went to Bugis to buy the most delicious swiss cake in Singapore. Afterwards, I went back home, had some rest, then sent my flatmate back to Medan. Oh gosh, I want to go home too!! Haha.. but there is so much to be settled before I can start to plan for holiday… sigh.
I can’t believe that May is ending and June is peeping from the corner. There are so many things to do in June, with no holiday to be expected T_T Sometime I don’t know what I want. I am hoping this June Month-of-Project to go off soon, but then I realize that there are more and more stuff coming after that. Life is never boring, huh?
Tired, exhausted. Apologize for all the grammatical error as my eyes are left with 5 watt.
