Wedding bells are ringing.......
Not mine! It's Rachel, my Netball team mate and her Hubby Damian (Eric's Squash team mate). They tied the knot after 11years of dating, at the Regent Hotel on 20 Sep.
Yea I know it looks messy, but it's cos Eric don't know how to take photos!!!! It's actually v nice..
"While I am not looking..."
20 09 2008, nice date! And it was a grand affair, with 55 tables in total! The food was good. It was a 9 course meal, with delicacies like braised sea cucumber, steamed cod fish, big big tiger prawns....etc etc...
Rachel looked beautiful, she resembles a Hong Kong star with her make up and gown! Very unlike the Rachel I see on court, with her sports attire and coloured hairband on. Damian looked great too, never seen him so awake before, he always has a sleepy look whenever I see him at the squash courts.
Eric and I cam-whoring after the dinner:
My M)phosis jumpsuit. Very comfortable, but a nightmare when you need to use the bathroom. You have to remove the whole suit to be able to do business, big or small! Damn irritating....
"While I am not looking..."
"ok, last pic for tonight, let's get changed, bathe and zzzzz"
"She's still at it?!?!?"
Happy Birthday to Me!
Just celebrated my 24th Birthday last week. OMG, can't believe I am hitting the big 30s in a few years' time! SAD.......
Here are some photos of my celebration with Zenith friends and Eric:
Dinner was fantastic. Love the lychee flavoured tea and Japanese skewers. We couldn't resist ordering some oysters to kick start our lovely night together! hahaha.....

New developments at work
Woohoo! Finally some positive news at work. Remember awhile ago I was so damn pissed with my immediate superior, and now my Big Boss has decided to take me under his wing instead. So now, I report directly to him! Yipeeeeee.......!

Handwriting analysis
Most people with a severe leftward slant have some type of childhood trauma they have yet to work through. Since we didn't actually "see the writing", we can't tell if she actually has a hard left emotional slant, but if so... she has issues with trust and it is likely rooted in childhood.
Pam has withdrawn into herself. She is reserved and shows her feelings only at times of great anger, extreme passion, or tremendous stress. Pam is an introvert. She makes decisions based on logic, therefore she is rarely impulsive. She doesn't find any need for expressing her emotions. In fact, she probably sees this emotional expression as an unnecessary waste of time. She has a hard time relating to an extreme extrovert, although it is common for her to be attracted to one. Many people do not understand Pam; it is difficult for them to really know how Pam feels. Pam enjoys being alone, and probably prefers working alone. Working with her hands is a pleasure.
Pam's basic nature is to look out for herself first. Although she can and does feel emotions, perhaps as deeply as anyone, she just almost always harbors them inside.
The first time someone angers Pam, she probably will not say anything to that person at that time. However, she will mentally keep track of everything this person does wrong to her until she cannot hold her emotions inside any longer. Then; Boom! Pam will cloud up and rain all over them. And she will never regret telling someone off, because she knew what she was saying the entire time. She won't impulsively tell someone off.
Emotional stories will not sway Pam. She thinks totally with judgment, first considering every situation by the effect it will have on her.
Pam needs space and time alone. She will be much more efficient if given a job alone, rather than being surrounded by people.
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Pam doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
Pam is secretive. She has secrets which she does not wish to share with others. She intentionally conceals things about herself. She has a private side that she intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in her past.
Pam can be defiant. She sometimes has the attitude that if someone doesn't like it the way she is doing it, then they can just "go to hell!" This trait may reveal itself in a rebellious nature that is always ready to resist forces which she thinks are infringing upon her freedom of action.
In reference to Pam's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Pam slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.
She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Pam can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Pam's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Pam that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. Pam also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. Pam is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. Pam's self-concept is artificially low. Pam will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Pam to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Pam is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.
Pam is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
Pam is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.

Surprise Surprise...
Thanks Yang Bo, for the nice surprise...although it came a little too early =p
The pretty card and keychain bring some colours to my boring work desk.....
Count on me Singapore.....
It was a boring NDP 2008 I must say........other than the oversized red plastic raincover which everyone scrambled to put on before the drizzle hit us- a funny sight to behold, the parade was at best plain and unappealing (at least to me).
The Green Sector~
Oversized, so unglam
Bored...
Not sure about Eric though...he was too engrossed with his goodie bag. Frantically searching for his "inflatable hand" and swirling fan. At one point, he even said to me "Where is my fan? Why I don't have fan?! I want to go and change my goodie bag!"
"You go and change lor, I wait here for you..." I couldn't believe my dear was so upset over his missing fan.....so cute..
Lucky he didn't made his way down to change, because we later found out that the fan was actually placed under our seats! wahahahahahaa............
(Dear I know you were joking with me la, I know you are not that crazy, go all the way down to change your goodie bag just because of a fan! But I gotta blog this because you looked real funny then.....keke...)
Here are some photos that we took, out of boredom.....

oops...
oops....according to my Dear, I've been rather cranky recently. Keep having mood swings that are even more fickle than the Singapore weather, and saying weird stuff that puzzles him to no end.
The stresses of Life has gotten to me. Sorry bout that. Appreciate your patience in me.
I'm still trying to become a Black-belt Communicator, realise my honours degree in Communications doesn't help at all when it comes to real life situations.

Living Day By Day......
So it's now down to this- I will live day by day from now on. If things really get to a stage where I would rather clear the ever spilling rubbish bin at the base of my block than going to office, I will leave. If things are still tolerable, I will stay.
Sad that reality finally hit me- There is no perfect job in this world. I believe many of you can also attest to this. So, I guess we all just have to suck it in and carry on living day by day.

I'm thinking...and thinking...
I've been harbouring evil thoughts lately, I'm not afraid to announce. Been thinking of ways and means to kill off that one nasty pest in my office. Yes, the blackie that has been making my life very difficult.
Wish I could slap and squish her, or rather, slap and squish "it" to bits of black dust. Because "it" is simply nothing. "it" cannot do simple task in the office, "it" always have to bother others with "it's" projects, and "it" is too forgetful to assume any role in the office.
"it" is having some issues with "itself" but can't seem to realise "it's" problem is in "itself", and not the other people in the office.
One day, when "it" realises that many people actually hate working with her in the office, It will be too late!

Darl's away for 11 days!!
Suffering from away-from-eric syndrome. Not sure why this time I miss him so much. Maybe because of the stress I am getting at work, and hence desperately need him by my side for support.
Also down with a bad sorethroat and fever.
Hope this 11 days will pass by in a jiffy.....

National League
So far all the games that we have played were hard-fought ones. None of the games allowed us to slacken, even for a few minutes.
Santa Fe's game was tough physically and mentally since they were all tall and strong players who did not think twice about using their body to contest every ball. Also since we were down 2 goals for the first 2 quarters, it was a tough fight to close the gap. And when we were finally up 3 goals ahead, we lost the lead within a few minutes before the final whistle. In the end, we walked away with a draw.
29-29.
What an exhausting game. I have never pushed myself that far before, so Santa Fe's game was really memorable. This particular game made me realise how strong I could be mentally. It is a huge improvement for me to stay in the game mentally, even though physically I was totally gone. I had nothing left in me after the game, except for a wave of satisfaction, a very uplifting sort of feeling that I had played my best and gave it all I had.
Now I know why they always say, "as long as you did your best..." Truly, I had no regrets after the game even though we could have won it.
Last night we played Llab 10 Hearts. Won by 3 goals, but could have won by a greater margin I felt. I didn't think I played very well for this game, but several team mates have said that I did a good job. So I guess maybe I have set my expectations a little high given my state of fitness level. How I wish I had better fitness and stamina! Then I can make stronger drives on court, and provide more support for my team mates.
This afternoon we will be playing against team Bedok. Again, this game is not going to be easy, with the hot afternoon sun and experienced Bedok players, it is going to be another battle for Zenith.
Division 3 is TOUGH!
Wish us luck!

My dear friendsssssssss Part 2
I met Seryin on the MRT platform finally! Both of us, being "aunty" and kiasu, grabbed our seats and started talking non-stop. It's a good feeling to meet up with close friends and chat up again so easily, as if we have never been apart for so long. No akward moments, felt like we were back in secondary school days again.
