it’s not that bad...

it’s exactly a week I’ve been in Singapore. all I can say is so far so good.

work is not that hectic yet as JC is currently slowly passing on to me and I am not in full blast yet. just that it was a bit frantic for the first 2 days as we need to rush for the ceo presentation. No problemo.

Vivien, my landlady is very friendly. I had no problem at all socializing with her and her husband. they are very nice people. she even cooked fried noodle, tong sui dessert and salad for me. oh, she even forced me to drink honey ginger for my own good sake. so dear mummy, you don’t have to worry that I will hunger myself anymore.

had dinner with Hana at Bencoolen to catch up after years lost in touch. it was good to hear from her again and congrats on your newly born baby girl. hope we can do more during this 3 months ok.

weekend jog at the serene Bedok reservoir, visiting Kitty Lab at Singapore Expo and a late midnite Starbucks at Pacific Plaza with Terry was as relaxing as usual.

window shopping and Christmas deco sightseeing along Orchard Road with Vivien from day til nite is a pleasant new experience. she’s really an easy going fun lady.

end comes to end, it’s not as bad as I had predicted. or maybe it’s still a ‘honeymoon’ period for me? we shall know the answer when the weeks come soon…

goodbye my KL

some of you said I’m making such a big fuss about my 3 months stay in Singapore. I’m sorry if I’m being such an annoyance but I really don’t know why ever since when I first heard the rumor that they might need me to be in Singapore for few months, my heart immediately sank.

lately I’m not as committed to work as I used to be anymore, and decided to be more devoted to my own life. yes, many of you may say work is part of our life but you do not know how much I had sacrificed my personal time for work which now leads me to keep on asking myself if this is how I want to live my life. my answer is hell no!

since I have made up my mind not to give up my personal time for work, I had started to do things that I like or will like to do for my own pleasure. I have started to spend more time with my family, having dinners and weekends outing with them. I have started to spend more time in my room doing reading while listening to my favorite songs. I have started jogging quite frequent with Jen and sometimes with sis Rachel. I have started chilling out with old friends over dinners and no doubt, Starbucks. I have started to enjoy home facial while taking a short nap.

just when I have started to really enjoy what I do, this piece of news came and bothered me with the thoughts that I need to change my living style and I can’t do what I enjoy doing now anymore. This thought really does disturb me a lot.

I just came back from Aussie trip on Tuesday, and am trying very hard to enjoy the last few days in KL with those that are dear to me before I leave to Singapore tomorrow.

thanks to Kelvino, Nic, Zee Yeen and CK for the good tapas and wine dinner.

thanks to Shearwell, Din Din and Kenny for the ever fun and joyful Kim Gary dinner.

thanks to Dad, Mum, sis Shareen and sis Rachel for the hot hot Thai cuisine in conjunction of Dad’s 61st birthday.

thanks to Kelvino (again), Joyce, Nicole, Ben, Michelle and zonker Mark for the crazy Zouk session.

thanks to Wah, Kent and Jen for the delicious waterfish dinner and bubbly dicey beer.

thanks Jen (again) for the great jogging plus bitching session.

I shall miss you all for the next 3 months and hope I can slot in time to see you all when I’m back here once a month for that few days. Shearwell, Din Din, Jen, Kent and Wah, I hope you guys can really make it to visit me in Singapore ok? :)

ciao guys…. ciao KL….
