A Happy 2010!

Happy New Year to everyone who happens to drop by this blog or read my blog anonymously. Let's hope this will be a better year than 2009. 


For me 2009 has been a tumultuous year for me as I went through a difficult period of my life and I dont think I will ever recover from it. I lost my father and there is no day that goes by without him in my deepest thought. Every thing that reminds me of him or every single moment where I will feel his loss, my eyes are never dry. I hope he is doing fine wherever he is.


I had also gone through serious financial problems and because of the recession we were in, my mid year bonus was not given and I was struggling to get by each day. But from the support of friends, I managed to survive me and my family and their kindness will never be forgotten. Im in a better financial position because almost all of my year end bonus has been deposited into savings but from experience, and as of my previous entries, this year I strive to save every month because lesson learn is that you will never know what will happen in the future. 

I also strive to snack less because it may jeopardize my efforts to lose weight..haha. And yes, that includes chocolates too..sigh.



Anyway, whatever happen this year, there are always lessons to be learnt and treasured so that we will become a better person.


Have a great year ahead in 2010!

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha.  We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
