Get Set... GO!!

HRC Retreat: Get Set was a success and i guess really have to thank the committee for their hard work.. THANK YOU! heard that they spend 3 months to plan the whole retreat.. and one dae b4 it, they barely slept for 4 hours, and of course, ray had shorter sleeping hours.. but great job guys! really saw the efforts paying off yesterdae.. from all the door gifts, to the drinks, and to the guest list.. (well, i only saw the networking dinner.. think there's more effort put in for the morning/noon events..) and i guess, this retreat is one of the small step in bringing more recognition to hrc in the field.. esp for us nbs students.. well done!

some photos here.. awaiting for more photos to come in.. Nana, send mi!!! hahaa

morning, noon, evening..

seriously speaking, i really dun like working life.. i think i prefer studyin..minus the exams part, that is.. haha.. this is wat i used to say during my PA, and this is wat i still believe now..

waking up so early everydae is truely very tiring (not to mention tt im used to sleepin late at nite.. -_-) and the human traffic on the bus and mrt is so aweful.. packed with working adults who are rushing for work and i cant even get a seat so tt i can take a quick nap! haizz.. however, i do like the evening buzz.. maybe cos im already awake, though still tired, but not as sleepy.. listening and relaxing to the music playin on my mp3 while looking at the white collared pple ard mi on the mrt.. getting some 'input' to the latest office wear fashion.. and the dos and duns.. hahaa.. and sometimes listening to the music make the creative juice in my brain runs! (a few ideas has came up, and trying to work on them.. hahaa. really wonder how cum im in hr and not in some media studies.. hmmm..)

i do like my workplace.. its really nice... the office is nice, very cosy and homely, the pple are nice, not many people but these pple are friendly and i like the culture.. a vibrant one.., the food in the area is goood!! really good.. my everyday lunch is recommendations from my collegues.. and i muz sae... its real good!! (see how serious im?!?) haha.. BUT.. i dun like my job.. i dun like wat im doin.. FINANCE!!!!! hur hur hur.. yesh, im doin admin.. but assisting a regional finance mgr is not easy loh.. accounting and finance procedures are so complex, and i DUN even understand wat im doin.. only noe its sth about witholding tax.. haizz. save mi!! work? abt finance.. fyp? ALSO about finance.. ARGHHHhhhh.. its really not my cup of tea..

on a side note.. saw the list of pple who are shortlisted for the big 4 cos.. hahaa. its a really long list loh.. and there's quite many pple who are got 3 or 4 cos.. makes mi feel that the sch is really very nice to accounting pple leh.. wat abt others huh?? dun they feel that the future of mktg, hr, act sci, econs pple are jus as impt?? dun even see joint recruitment events for us!! maybe they shd have a joint hrc networking event for us huh.. ha ha ha.. -_- but anywae, good luck to those who are shortlisted! zh, jiayou wor~hahha

part of conference room.. (yesh, its filled with toys.. cos we r doin licensing..) there's another shelf filled with jus as many toys..

part of my office AKA my boss's office.. *there's even a powerpuff cushion on my seat loh!*

taken from one of the shop near my office.. think jess will like this ah? haha..

bored! =S

spraining an ankle is no joke loh.. i woke up on the next dae with hardly the ability to walk.. so painful and its so bloated! haiz.. think it will be worse if i dint put an ice pack on it the previous nite or rub some ointment or even sleep with my leg elevated.. thanks to steph and yizhou for givin mi these tips =)

i dint go to work on fri, after much naggin from my mom though, cos i kinda insisted that i wld be okie the next dae and wanna go work as i dint foresee much trouble walkin as its jus only a sprain.. (i dint sprain my leg before, tt explains y i think tt wae..) but luckily i heed my mom's advice and dint turn up for work..(haizz.. MC on the 2nd dae of work.. wat a bad impression! =( ) went to the TCM shop near my hse (first time there) and underwent 'zhen jiu' on my ankle.. then its a series of hitting on my sole, and followed with my ankle being wrapped up in bandages and ankle guard.. hahaa. i really wondered if all tt works, cos its still felt painful then.. and think i look quite funnie making my wae home esp walkin down the stairs cos i can even move my ankle!!

spent the whole of fri rotting at home.. slept for so long, watched so much shows on the tv and also movies on my com( when there's isnt much movies i have to start with..).. and by sat morning, i am really bored ! so decided to start on my fyp (gotta pia for it this hols sia.. no time liao..) and also decided to go for the dinner at nite which i previously wanna give it a miss cos of the sprain.. since the injury was startin to heal then..

it was a nice dinner.. but there again, my ankle looked kinda bloated again now..=( think have to wrap it back again in bandage! i hate that feeling.. =(

loser?

listening to.. Here without you - 3 Doors down

first dae of work today, and yep, i found my wae there.. and i was early.. but ended the dae with a super sore ankle tt's becoming bigger and bigger by every hour.. and of course, so is the pain that follows it..

located in one of the shophouses in Duxton hill is my office.. as most of u all noe, theres alot of steps.. up.. down.. up.. down.. along the walkwae.. so there i was, coming out of the office, walk abit.. and flop.. sprained my ankle all cos i dint see there's a step down, and all the weight jus landed on my that poor ankle.. PLS TELL ME HOW SUAY AM I!!!! im so down with luck this whole week.. jus like the kids in the show of 'a series of unfortunate events..' ARGHHHHhhhhhhh...

its so painful and yet i have to swallow my tears and try to walk as normal as possible.. dragged my foot all the wae back from t.p... felt like a complete sore loser.. darn!

directions and directions..

Haiz.. wanna go swimmin and a trip to j8 in the evening, but due to tt heavy downpour, wasnt able to.. sianzz.. spent the whole dae cleaning up my room and hse instead, and im damn tired now.. aching all over.. but feels great cos my room is tidy and sparkling clean now.. yay!

tml's startin work liao.. and im now still tryin to figure the wae to get there! *faint* shall go and anyhow 'chuang' tml.. shd be able to find my wae.. directions from street directory wont be tt difficult to follow, i guess.. but lookin at US maps are drivin mi crazy loh (deb, its not easy!!) firstly, i really needa get my geography right, den i shall get all the places right, den the cities and the streets.. u really wan me to drive?!? hahaha.. i really doubt myself though..

An eventful account of the day..

9.00am: woke up from my beauty sleep and hit the remaining 311 lectures straight after breakfast..

12.00noon: had my lunch.. so long since i had a proper homecook lunch.. thanks mom.. =)

145pm: off to sch for the 1 and only 311 paper.. dad went the long way using SLE, took so long and make mi panic cos i was damn worried that i will be late since the rest were there already..but there again, he seldom send mi to sch.. so really appreciate that he did this time..

230pm: start of the paper.. i was seated right at a corner of the exam hall loh.. so ulu!! but sam's jus a seat away.. so not tt bad lah.. =P

5.00pm: end of paper.. and my paper was instantly whipped off from my table by prof wong.. dint even have the time to relook thru the whole paper! erm.. the paper.. okie loh (always the safest ans to give..) hahaa.. its questions were kinda tricky.. esp the last qn.. no applications of any framework or watsoever.. or maybe only attempted to use the porter.. haizz. nvm lah.. over already..

505pm: managed to squeeze past the crowd and get to my bag.. digging thru my bag tryin to locate my hp, but i cant find it.. i started to panic, cos wat my mom told mi on the trip to sch began to flood to my mind," there's alot of pple who lost their hp during exam periods.. ya sis's fren lost her hp when they put their bags outside the exam hall..' OMG.. this is scaring mi loh.. my dear 5 other sis panic with me, callin on my hp and helpin me to see if its anywhere outside the hall.. and i made a call home to check with my dad.. and very HENG.. i left it in the car jus now.. how careless of me.. and all of us heaved a sigh of relief.. thanks gers for helping~ =)

515pm: off to geylang for the long planned food trip.. me, steph, amanda and sini managed to hailed a cab in sch while elin drove there with gina to guide her there..

600pm: reached yong he, and deb (er jie) was there waiting for us.. and we ordered so much food - a plate of beef hor fun, 2 bowls of oyster mee sua, a plate of guo tie, a tray of xiao long bao, a plate of crispy chicken floss with egg.. erm not veri sure of the name, a plate of you tiao and soya bean milk to go with it.. my first visit there though i always wanna go geylang to try the food there but dint managed to get the chance to.. felt the food was not bad.. maybe shall visit that shop again next time.. hehee..

730pm: went to a shop that sell durains.. the sign say that their durian are D24 and 1 kg commands a price of 10 bucks.. woah.. BUT.. the durain sucks.. its the worst durain which is so ex that i ever eat loh.. its not even ripe.. stupid uncle, tryin to cheat us.. cheaterbug! i will nv step into ya 'black shop' again.. might as well get a cheap 5 bucks durain at the shop near my hse.. and wif my mom's expertise, im sure i can get a super good bitter durain.. heh..

8oopm: step into a dessert shop and due to our cash flow running low cos of the stupid durain, we only managed to order a bowl of sago with water chestnut.. and i think its quite funny to see 6 pple crowding over a small bowl of dessert.. hahaa

830pm: hail a cab again and arrived at tanjong katong to try the super famous katong laksa.. its REALLY very nice.. and okies, jus being a turtle here, the place is so near to parkwae parade loh.. how cum i dint noe of it!!

915pm: left the place with steph, while the rest of the sisters stayed for the programme thru the night.. took 135 home.. a nice trip back, though have quite an upset stomach.. but the trip brought back some nice memories cos 135 was the bus tt i took for 4 years in my sec life and its oso the same old bus that can bring mi to my jc..

10oopm: reached home and started packin.. gettin ready for a yet another evenful day tomorrow! =P

guessed this one day that i really enjoyed.. and really thank you gers for makin it possible.. =) (pics of the food trip to be up at a later date..)
and think its time for me to hit the bed.. cos gonna wake up early tml.. 322? wait till i come back bah.. lol..
