General Elections 2011





Disclaimer: Content written in this blog DOES NOT represent anyone.
It's only writer's expression, personal feelings and thoughts on this coming elections.
No offence to any party, person, individuals.





The lastest topic in town?
as above.
the General Election.
Seriously, i never thought i would have such sudden rush to blog about this.
As all would know, me, being myself,
don't normally like to bring up sensative issues/topics especially in my blog,
a globally publicised space in the World Wide Web.



But it's really disturbing after hearing lots of hearsay;
media influences and facebook postings on all those who are roping for the opposition party.
I'm not taking sides here.
but just looking back.
Since young till now, Singapore's history,
Singapore's glory.
How and what has Singapore become of today.
Why and how are we able to move forward and advance so much faster,
improve and grow so much better compared to our neighbouring countries,
especially since independance in 1965?




I've never denied the fact that I've always given full respect to MM Lee.
and these years, as and when i do take a step back and worry about his health.
As we all know, time waits for no one.
and so... looking at this coming election,
seems like a lot of the young and new generation,
people of my own age group are roping for the Opposition parties.
Reason?

Is it just a call for rebellious?
Is it just because everyone else is doing so?
Is it just because all the tax paying?

Of course, I like anyone else, hate the tax paying system.
but then again, come to think of it.
the taxes paid here are also put into use of building the nation isn't it?
We've seemed to grow a lil' too fast over the past years
that's probably why, my generation of people are finding it harder
to cope and survive in this decade.


But think again.
How on earth did we reach this stage of life here in Singapore?
So much effort has been put in by the Parliment year after year
keeping Singapore as it is, peaceful.
I don't think you can have such peace here.
Do we really want to have riot here in Singapore?
Looking at such times, where time = money.
can we afford to stop work for one day just to riot?



Are our fellow people getting too complacent with the current government structure
that they think a change is needed
just to make things fresh?


i'm not saying that it's not right to vote for opposition party here.
neither am i calling for votes for PAP.
but, i think, we all, being Singaporeans,
for our own future and our dependants' future,
we really should vote wisely.


Some people talk about risk taking.
but, it's really scary to have the country led by a party that does not continue to bring Singapore up to the next level for the next 5 years!
I can't believe if Singapore's not going to prosper and grow, and lag behind or become stagnant for 5 years.


We've really come so far. i still think,
we should look and think towards the future.
look for a reliable party.
Rather than just opposing for the sake of opposing
or just because you do not like that particular few rules set prior.
Vote Wisely.


That's all i can say.





VOTE WISELY.

All Over Again






Gosh, i'm so tired.
I feel so tire. Don't know what happened.
probably medication effects?
or the new family member?
I felt so sleepy and tired the entire yesterday.
and the super effing humid weather isn't helping much.
urgh.



Oh yeah, new family member.
She's here already.
since 22 April 2011, Good Friday.
Say 'Hi' to Gigi!!!



PhotobucketPhotobucket



Yeap, she's a full fledge Corgi.
puppy, 5 months old.
gosh. everything starts all over again.
Training.
So tough. but have to.
my whole long weekend seemed to zoom by so fast.
that i don't think i've rested enough.



Good Friday itself was fully dedicated to Gigi.
Went to 'redeem' her and off to pet farm to grab all necessary stuff.
Gosh, she just doesn't seems to like walking!
Getting her a leash was fast but she was so easily distracted!
half the time, we're struggling to keep her in place.
but once leashed up, she REFUSED to bulge.
Argh. Lazy girl.
Got her a bed, a pee tray (which she's still LEARNING how to pee & poo in it),
a toy, new puppy food...
and bah. there goes my $$$.
haha.




Saturday, was out to Adex 2011.
in search for diving trips then a super inpromptu trip to M'sia.
Did mani/pedi and had dinner.
Thank you Dazi & of course, baby.
You know the whole evening is gone, when you go M'sia.


Sunday, baby's got work.
I stayed home, trying to train Gigi.
Spending the entire day giving her attention.
hoping that she'll learn...
but it's really not easy...
Fluffy and Boy don't really seem to have a problem with her.
Except for the occasional bites/snaps from them when she disses them too much.
A dog full of curiousity.
sighs. Curiosity Kills The Cat!




And so that's the weekend. GONE.
Imma gonna end here with Pics of Gigi.
Will be back soon. <3

CHANGE





it's pretty unusal of me doing an update at this hour of the week isn't it?
surprise or not?
it doesn't matter.
like the topic - Change.




actually, i'm not implying on the change in such situation.
but i'll just explain why on earth am i blogging from home at this hour.
very simple.
baby's doing night shift today!
and it's his very first night shift!


and worse, i'm having the urge to head out.
where to? no idea.
feel like heading down to Bar None.
but thinking of the crowd, kinda bores me
especially if i'm alone.
sighs.
it's only his first night shift and i'm contemplating out?!
so bad of me. huhuhuhuh




anyway, the change i'm talking about here...
it's more of like the change in people.
yes. i know. it's not a 'now then you know' thing;
that i wanna say, people change.
but it seems that...
many times, people change.
and they don't actually know that they did.



and what's worse, is when they start saying that you're the one who've changed.
so... it's like the chicken and egg question.
did we change first or did they change?
or rather, did we learn to look at things differently already?


You may be close friends, lovers or siblings etc.
but when in such a situation
where communication seems to break down,
the first thing that comes to mind...



'Hey, He/She changed...'



well, what's your point of view?
who change first?
does it matter?
the more important thing here, i guess it's not who first or whatsoever.
but more importantly, can we get the message across to each other
harmoniously?
i recalled something i've learnt.
can't exactly remember if it's from the 7 Habits.
but... it goes like this:




Seek first to understand than to be understood.




Familiar?
if only everyone applies this.
then there will be less conflicts around.
no more jumping into conclusion?
many times, we also need to learn to listen.
rather than just so full of ourselves, too carried away by emotions.
we often end up hurting our close ones unknowningly especially when we're upset.


Gosh. this post seems rather preachy.
Guuess this is wat boredom leads me to.
alright! i shall end here.
food for thought?



nahs. just my 2 cents worth.
Ciaos!



Have a wonderful weekend!

SICK






I'm sick.
physically, mentally.
yeap. really sick.
Fell sick since last week and have yet to recover fully.
was having bad throat
then switch to cough and ultimately, flu.
it was pretty bad.
my entire week was busy busy busy.
went for a training at SHRI on Thursday and Friday,
came back to office on Friday noon to work.
feeling extremely sick.



Gosh, seen Dr Yap on saturday.
slpt my whole sat away.
went for lousy buffet on Sunday.
gosh. food sux. sorry to say.
it's a waste of money.
went home shortly.
wasn't feeling quite rite....


Monday, yesterday, installation of aircon at home.
WHOLE DAY.
definitely, slow. gosh. i felt so grogy.
i wanted to sleep so badly especially after medication.
but i can't!


and i'm back in office today.
still unwell.
and i'm telling you.
i'm seriously not feeling good about work.
first thing i saw when i stepped in was a piece of paper at the door step.
with extension numbers.
it went:

For HR Matters, please dail xxxx.
For .... Matters, please dail xxxx.

and hell yeah, you can guess it.
my extension number is right THERE.
WTF?! why do we need a receptionist for then?
HELLO?


and when i open up the shared mailbox, to my dismay.
500 over emails.
gosh, nobody's working when i was not around for a day?
i really feel like WTFBBQ Max.
i feel so overly stretched. i feel so de-motivated.
and definately, negative again.
once, all over again.
10 hours of work a day not enough.
sighs.
hiring of an asst for me is that tough?
damn.



sometimes, i feel, i've really had enough in someway.

Commitment/Habit?





Good morning world.
Yes, it's at this un-earthly hour of 7am.
i'm in the office.
feeling kinda sick.
my throat's killing me.
i don't feel like talking.
but i have induction to do later.
sighs.




i know again, i've been missing for a week from my blog.
but you know, the same old thing.
i'm busy.
i'm really busy.
last week baby was doing 2nd for 3 days.
so ended up i start at 9 everday. but i never end early any single day
except for Wed when i was on half day.
oh. speaking of that half day,
it was a total waste of my leave and an ANGRY one.
they really should not have sent a bangalore who's english is only 30% understandable
to a customer's place to fix anything, ANYHOW.
Simply no sense of responsibility.


and what disappoint me more was the customer service i receive
from the guy i spoke to when i dail 1627.
my most trusted mobile service provider kinda FAIL me this time.
those who worked in a call centre environment should know...
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HASTLY CUT OF YOUR CUSTOMER'S LINE!
he wouldn't let me finish my sentence.
i was sooooooooooooooooooo ANGRY that night.


anyway that's over, they got someone to come fix up the thing on sat.
and yes, i'm so much more satisfied this time.
cos the guy who came... SPEAKS ENGLISH.
oh please. that's what we, as consumers, need.



Went for a hair cut on Tuesday though.
they ironed my hair straight.
and boy... words can't explain how much i miss my STRAIGHT LOCKS!!!
i don't think i ever wanna do anything silly like this anymore.
or maybe at no other salon than my most trusted.
Papilon.
They salvage my almost dead hair the other time.
and baby, is happy with their stylist.

See end produce...




PhotobucketPhotobucket
pardon me for that face. blame the camera man.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO going for rebonding in another 2 months!


PhotobucketPhotobucket
ehem, handsome leh.



oh, we went to Ramen Play after haircut for dinner
and i had my first choice ramen again.

Photobucket
i really like the egg and the fatty meat. doesn't taste fatty though.
superbly tender.
but i should really keep it at bay.


Photobucket
his curry rice.
Oh, the curry there... taste like local muslim curry!
nice!!! i like. haha.

So that's pretty much for Tuesday.




I ended thursday night from work at 8pm.
and i came to a conclusion that i need 10 hours a day at work.
AT LEAST.
so that i can finish my work for the day.
and not forgetting i still have a lot more left undone.
is that a new work commitment from me?
or is that a bad work habit?
i have no idea.
i really hope they can bring in the Asst in ASAP.
cos i'm really tired.
especially on days like this, where my throat is bad.
i jus feel like going home...




However, to my dismay...
I work OT on top of 10 hours on Friday!!
i ended up leaving office at 10pm.
even baby, who was doing 2nd finished earlier than i do.
omg. i'm like... duh.
really tired.



but weekend was really... fun at The Boiler Room.
had a nice though late dinner at Wine Bar.
i had....







Photobucket

it's red snapper. fish's a lil' bit dry.
some tangy sauce will help.
but i LURRRRVE the sides!
it jus made me a happy girl that night.




so... i'm not going to elaborate on Sunday.
but i'm going to see Corgi soon. <3


Ciaos!

Uncertainty.





How time fly by?

Another week gone.
and yes, i'm feeling uncertain of myself.
it was starting to feel at first.
until now... i'm certain that i'm uncertain.
and this refers to the workplace.



yeaps, super uncertain now.
one left, 2 left.
3 hanging.
1 super busily stressed up.
1 uncertained.


can i manage?
can i cope?
will i be able to do watever is required of me well?
will i ?
can i?
gosh.
nothing but just uncertainty plus a high level of stress.
urgghh....





updates?

nothing much actually.
baby started his training over at his new job.
accomodating to his morning shifts hours last week for a few days.
next entire week too.
due to training, he was able to finish on time
or sometimes even way before...
picks me up from work everyday. <3




we had dinner together everyday too.
mega loves for that.
it seems to be an awesome week of food galore last week.
but i dun think i took pictures of everything and i remember anything much?


i remembered...
we had dinner at home from lunch leftovers in office?
Arnorld's chix and pizza. so that's 2 days.
the other 3 days...
hmmmmm...


i remembered an Ajisen dinner where i tried the black ramen.
my apologies, didn't take pictures.
but i dun think it's really my type of taste.
cos it leaves a slight bittery after-taste.

that was on thursday.


i can't seem to remember wat we had for tuesday/wednesday.
Either day was Pizza but the other....
really can't remember.
hmmmm.. memory lost.




friday was Uncle Tony!!!!!!!!!
i miss. i so miss to food there.
especially the mushroom soup!


Photobucket

we wanted our regular Lava cake
but to our dismay,
it was...



SOLD OUT!

guess....
better luck next time.



and then saturday night,
we went to Geylang to eat...
Yong He You Tiao Da Wang...

and i tried their Lu Rou Fan.
i think i'm a sucker when i see these 3 words.


Photobucket


to be frank, their's aint that bad.
but i think i prefer the one at Vivo City's Kopitiam
and the one i had at Ruyi much more...
opps...


and sunday, which is yesterday...
we had the most terrifying meal...


we were venturing around... and last minute,
we landed in Parkway, Mini Steamboat Delight.
and we ordered... a Terrifying amount of food.



Photobucket



That's like the meal of the day!!!

we were 2 super bloated persons after the meal.
and i splurge? after that.
spending on lingerie. gosh.


shouldn't have walked in to Isetan.
regret max.
but love what i bought too.
okay, TMI.

That's all.

I'll update again when i have the time to do so!


Ciaos! <3
