Xmas 2005...MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

A mini-spread on Christmas Eve.... mini-gathering with granny, my auntie and my cousin + bf. Nothing really exciting ....juz food and talk and watching of dvd. hahahaha.... But it was a busy day for my mum who was preparing hte food....and for me coz i practically slept half the day away and had to go to town to collect the log cake and ham..... lol
Christmas morning... went to church....we made a blunder thinking that service was at 9.30am... went there only to find there was no combine service and there was 10.30am service... so sat thru the earlier session which was halfway thru and continued the with the next session.
Christmas buffet lunch at CSC.... haha...nothing great.... wad can u expect from the swimming club @ a not so expensive price. But it was filled with kids playing around with the ice-cream and fruit juicer.
Since no meeting with my HMBC grp....went home to sleep and watch dvd and attended another church evening event. Not fantastic also.... previous year's performance was definitely better ....
Boxing day....slept my way thru again and spent the next 1/2 of the day reading my IRAS circulars.... goshhh -.-'''''

Thoughts....

9pm show finished.... no more show to watch....the next one looks really stupid.... *rolls eyes*
well, the ending hmm.... the girl was determined enough to realise her dream and embarked on her journey as a world-class dancer. But it's not all a fairy-tale ending .... she lost her love.... Quoting from the show...rough translation... "when u get something, u lose something". I wonder how true this phrase is...

I realised that my blog is a place for me to pen down stuff which goes thru my mind and go thru them once in a while... it's not for the sake of wanting ppl to read it. Well, if there are comments, i welcome them with open arms.

Time passes quite fast....it's already my 2nd week at FKT. Hmm... the receptionist thinks i've been with them for more than a month...goshh.... do i seem so familar with the place yet ??? Met some NTU ppl who are working in the audit department. But, i usually go along with my department colleagues. I guess i'm getting on quite well with them. Occasionally, still feeling lost in their conversations... Hopefully better rapport can be built especially with my managers. 2 managers i have. My colleagues told me to find out abt them more myself as time goes by. hmm.... apparently, 1 of them not very nice to work with after some time. And i more or less know who that is. The manager who interviewed me is the nicer one. Supposedly more easy-going... but i still dare not really approach them when i am in doubt. Somehow the manager-subordinate connection is still very strong.
I once posed the Qn and asked why my colleagues chose to stay in FKT for like 3 or more years. The ans i got... less politics as long as u dun go overboard... e.g being late for work and having extended lunches etc.... should have a not so bad time there. They seem to be on quite a friendly basis with my nice manager and 1 other manager. Wonder when i will reach that stage.... or perhaps before i even reach there, i would have disappeared from FKT. I am certain i would stay for 1-2 yrs ? think that dept is really too small to have a good experience of the working world. But it's already much much much much better than my attachment firm.
I dun think i wanna start thinking about my next destination...that's really a little too fast. Right now, i only want to learn more and get things going ....
Today had some "urgent" stuff to do in office .... thanks to my manager who was sitting and laying eggs on the notice.... now i have no idea how to draft the letter and there's like no sample or reference for me. Do they expect me to know wad to write on my 1st try ? Gosh... and i have like other impt and urgetn stuff to do which i have pushed back for 2 days. Monday die die also muz do....otherwise later clients get fines, i can say byebye to FKT.
It's really stressful for me now.....every hr, min and second of the day, i am trying to do something. I need to charge my time and i can't blow the cost for the clients. 2 weeks... considered still veyr raw to some.... but i feel that my managers kinda expect that i know how to do most of the stuff. *sighhz*
Another thing i realised within these 2 weeks. Having good handwriting is sooooo IMPORTANT !!!! i am having lotsa difficulty in deciphering my managers' reviews. Goshhh... being able to read handwritings is really a good skill and virtue to have ......

Christmas gifts ideas plsssssssss

It's the time of the year once again.....
I've vaguely got some idea wad pressies to get......But i nid more !!!!!
I've got picky family memebers..... u think they'll like wad u get but ....it turns out otherwise....
Time is running short now ..... 10 more days !!!!!
Need more ideas.....can someone plsss help meeeeeeeeeee
I am soooo brain tired everyday by the time i finsh work..... no more brain matter to think so hard !!! sighhh....
brainstorm timeeeeeee

舞出彩虹 2

Theme song of the 9pm mediacorp ch 8 show...lyrics juz below.

Well, i seldom watch local programmes nowadays. My friends wonder why i watch it...But when i saw the ad for this show, i was drawn to it instantly. It's all about dance. The artistes inside a bit CMI la...esp the so-called foreign talent....felt the locals were even better except 米雪 and jeanette aw's mum.

Immediate attraction perhaps was due to my passion for dance last time. This show has made me think back about how much time and energy i spent for ballet which i enjoyed so very much. If it weren't for the hetic schedule in JC, i doubt i would have give it up. The other day, after guitar in Parkway yamaha, i saw some posters on the wall. Pictures and write-ups of my juniors and ballet teacher who went to London for some dance program. So envious. There weren't such opportunities for us last time. Never regretted taking up ballet.... but i lost touch with nearly all my dancing mates =(

Seeing how the leads in this show train and practice hard for the competition reminds me of the amout of effort i put in for exams and performances too. But i knew since last time that i'd never be able to dance professionally. I was hardworking....aimed at getting distinctions for exams... but i do not have that x-factor and goshh... the fat and round me.... who has ever seen a fat and stout ballerina on stage ?? *faint*

Dance....once a passion in my life... =) Sweet and fond memories stay forever.....

舞出彩虹

舞出彩虹/石欣卉

听 音乐已奏响

千万双期待的目光

凝聚在舞台中央

看 裙角在飞扬

日与夜酝酿的梦想

就在这一刻

终于点燃

多少次跌跌撞撞

终究没有退让

从未摇晃

握紧的方向

所有的星光为我闪亮

我创造属于我的辉煌

听 喝彩声回响

热情开始无限高涨

心连成舞的海洋

看 炫耀的灯光

华丽的舞装像花绽放

装载着梦想自由旋转

多少次泪在眼眶

我用微笑抵挡

告诉自己 总会有答案

所有的掌声给我力量

梦想的彩虹就在前方

多少次泪在眼眶

我用微笑抵挡

告诉自己 总会有答案

所有的掌声给我力量

梦想的彩虹就在前方

我用心舞出每一个希望

My background music =)

Duckie tour 2005

Went for the duckie tour on saturday....cheap tickets from DOS....hahahaha... if have to pay $35 to go on it....FORGET IT MAN !!!! thought it would be quite an experience....a 1 hr ride... i only enjoyed the part the duck went into the waters.... i love the sky....hehee.....but the sky was kinda threatening ....so not much of sunset to see (that's the a bit disappointing bit). But it was still good in the waters....
Gosh... land tour...i nearly fell asleep man...so boring..... *yawnz* It's juz like sitting in a car/taxi/bus and passing by the places everyday.... it's juz town area which i pass by all time !!!!BORING !!!!
Well, they distributed this duckie-beak look alike whistle ...ahaha...it's quite cute i muz say. And it quite sounds like a duckie :p
At least now if ppl ask, i still can say i have taken the duck tour. Maybe for tourists it's quite an experience and a good way get about and take a look at town area... but for locals....i think it's a waste of money if the full price has to be paid.....

Bird description.....lol

binny pasted this for me to see.... the bird which represents me....
SWAN !!! and it really describes me !!! LOL
binny....wad's the URL ??


2 Sept - 29 Sept Swan
The swan is a complex character. While appearing on the surface as a calm and relaxed individual, underneath they are working hard to keep up with the pace of modern life. If provoked their natural graceful demeanour can give way to a violent temper which puts them in a flap. They are definitely someone to have on your side.

Today marks the 1st week since i started work at FKTGT.
Friendly and helpful colleagues i have....^.^
Work wise, i'm still struggling a little..... still needing to seek help from fellow seniors and the textbook !!! haihhz...
Nightmares for hte past 2 nights.... i dreamt of accounts !!! the horrendous fixed asset schedules. Goshh... i see myself staring not knowing what to do.... and a pile of audit working papers falling on me.... yikesssssssssssssss
so far so good... celebrated ming's birthday on monday.... will blog about it when i have hte time and when i transfer my own pics and get pics from binny and ming...

1st Day at GT

4 hrs of continuous input of info....goshh... my head was bursting and i obviously couldn't absorb everything!
A short mini-orientation for the new employees and interns.....all audit except me....
My department....omg...hahah... all ladies except our big big boss..... :p
I was feeling sooo soooo soooo sooooooo lost today. I really nid to read up and go thru my old materials again. >.<
I've got a table to myself unlike the audit ppl who have to find empty seats ...lol... apparently, my seat is a place which my colleagues envy coz more privacy. But a bit lonely too... nobody beside me :( Dun know how to do muz walk around to ask... i think the lady who helped me today finds me irritating?? really dun know how to find the info ma.... sigh.... think i shan't bother her tmr....ask the other nice seniors around.
I'm very afraid that i cannot cope and will under perform :( I took so damn bloodly long to finish 1 case. I really felt like quitting suddenly... *cryz* Stare at all the files, not knowing wad to do and where to get info from.
I think i have to perservere la.... maybe it will get better.... oh...i'm the youngest in my department ^.^
