Packing

Well, i started packing my stuff for tml nite's trip on monday... but think i'm still not quite satisfied with my packing... think i could be even more compact. But still, i still have some things not yet packed in... anyways, before tml nite, still have time for some repacking... hahahah...Just doesn't want my bag to appear too big... since it's only the beginning... hopefully i can still pack in all my stuff when it's time to come home....

Anyways, think tml i'll get the suits that i bought but is subjected to alterations at Bukit Timah shopping center... the other weekend when I and zx were just walking around in Bukit Timah before our dinner... stumbled upon this shop that sells suits that have slightly different designs.. not bad looking ones... tried on two suits and in the end bought the two that i tried. Think it's not as expensive as the suits that i've bought at G2000... this time got a matching jacket, skirt and pants ...but it's definitely still cheaper at G2000... while i was trying out the jacket.. the auntie at the shop was commenting that there was ever a customer who bought 9 suits all at one time... crazy... i guess... and probably the customer is not a newbie who just stepped into the workforce...

Nevertheless, i'm pretty excited about my trip tml and also the holidays that hopefully i can enjoy... hehhe...

Long awaited holidays...

Yeah.... finally...i'm on my official leave le... though there are still some work to be done and i have to go back to office to clear them... i'm still pretty happy that i'm on leave again....and just yesterday... went to outram park and booked a short trip to pulau redang with zx....

i'm getting pretty excited about the trip. Got my bikini and backpack yesterday... maybe just a few more beachwear to get along before i go on my trip on weds nite... hhheheh... though it's a long journey there.. i hope that me and zx can have a good time at the beach....pictures on the websites introducing the island all look damn pretty... and hopefully i can capture these pretty pictures too....

this time think me and zx will be better prepared for fun at a beach resort. our last trip at langkawi was pretty rushed and we din really think of wat to do there.. .and in the end, we actually din do much... so this time, think we can do it better... and think the resort we're going to.. appears to be quite comfortable... okie.. there's a suggestion to watch for sunrise... so maybe will sacrifice a bit of my sleep to look at the sunrise.... wahahah...

think i may be getting a bit too excited... will post up some pictures after my trip and also share some of my experience there...

Update of the weekend:

One week training has past and of cos during training.. got to know some new s4s at the same table and it appears that my table had managed to emerge tops of the various tables in relation to the answering of questions. Thot the quiz on "how well u know the company" is kinda interesting as it prompted us to think about the relevant people in charge of the various units and also what were some of the general statistics of the firm.

Other than the "boring" 1 week training, i also got to know my portfolio that was allocated to me. Of cos, there was no surprise for my dec engagement but there was a group of companies which i definitely did not want to touch for my march year end or rather what i'm currently doing now... as it appears to have no end for one of the entities... which i immediately told my manager that i did not want to take on the engagement. And while my manager tried to convince me, he asked me on my tolerance level of taking the engagement with 1 being ok and 5 being if u give me, i'll quit... naturally, wanting to make my stand clear, i told him 5...... hehz...i dun regret telling him that but it just seems that my refusal has kinda made me look like a selfish kid who couldn't take up the challenge... hahahha.... but anyways... i dun really care at the moment... i'll just do whatever i need to for my current portfolio....

Yesterday, met up with Tao Lei and wife, glad to meet up with them after so long... slightly more than half a year ago and also to know that they're doing well... it's a pity that xmo couldn't make it as he had to work....like what zx said, the next gathering meet-up may be another 3 mths time... hahha... maybe near x'mas or something like that..... hhahha

Hmmm.... officially, GST hike

Today's the day that the new GST of 7% is taking effect, did everyone got most of what they wanted before the increased GST??

Well, thot i've got a couple of things that i wanted before the GST hike but essentially think i still need to get a few more stuff...hahhaa.... nevertheless, the GST hike was a rather good reason to do lots more shopping than before.... hahaha...

Actually, I just bought a home shredder.... cos i have kinda lots of things to shred like letters from banks, cpf board... and other stuff which i think are rather important documents that cannot be thrown away without shredding.. .call me over-insecured but i do believe that there might be possibility if such documents containing important information are not disposed off properly may be made used by certain people.... especially when we're living in such a high tech world....

Today while looking around in Courts at Woodlands, saw the new lenovo-disney laptop which is pretty cute.... hahha... wonder if i should try to get that as my next replacement laptop... hahhah... but i haven't got the specs nor the prices... so probably would just kiv the item till the need or when i'm seriously considering getting a new laptop..... Hopefully my current laptop could at least last until the next PC show or IT show where i can get a good laptop at reasonable prices plus lots of freebies.... hahahha

My nose has been acting weird again for the day, every time when there's a change of temperature i.e. from the aircon bus to the street or from the street to the air-con department store.... it just had to sneeze for a good 10 times i think.... before it finally settles.... does this mark the beginning of a sick me????? i hope it wun be.. cos i've having training for 1 week first......

Today's aim of going to Woodlands was also to take a look and consider what toys to buy for zx's nephew... he was thinking of maybe getting a transformer toy... but at the metro toy section, it seemed that there weren't much selection left to fit our budget.... guess that there might be a quick purchase craze of the toys before today......

Nevertheless, the toy for the birthday boy was still undecided... and we shall see if we can manage to get a satisfactory toy that is fun to play and is not too dangerous to the birthday boy's 2 year old brother... heheh... think it may be a challenge....
