rainy days? the sun is out!

rain rain go away, come again another day..
this the song tt was ringing in my head for the past 1 week.. but the rain jus wont stop! rain, rain and more rain.. water everywhere and i was practically freezing in my own room in hall.. though the fan was down to the lowest speed..
nvm all tt.. cos,
the sun is finally out today!! jus like how the weatherman predicted it.. say it will stop 3 days later.. from tues.. clear skies, warmth weather..
ironically, i miss the cold weather, not the freezing cold, but the 'air-con' weather, minus all the water.. hahaa..

went to work today, wif the intention of tellin my boss tt im gg to work till month end.. but.. i came back home without tellin her tt!! u noe y? cos i jus cant put tt out across to her.. okies, she's a nice boss, the pple there really treat mi very well.. tt i dun even noe how to tell her tt! think email is a better wae then.. come to think of it, how am i gg to tell pple 'you are fired' next time? hur hur hur.. maybe shall jus be specialist/consultant in some other areas.. recruitment or training maybe.. haha

oh yes.. celebrated nana's (belated) bdae yesterdae.. at ms clarity cafe.. nice place though, with all the bright coloured walls and tables, and great food (minus the dessert).. of cos, our dear da jie made a grand appearance.. woohoo.. pretty lady wor! hahhaa.. then it's followed by our usual tok tok laff laff, photo takin (okies, will load them on google), candle blowin, wish making, presentation of prez.. though the normal routine, but felt really great to be with the 'sisters' and celebratin their bdaes.. and not to mention, its during these tok tok laff laff sessions tt we came up wif chalet ideas, mj sessions, steamboat/bai nian/ktv outings.. think this is gg to be my best yr in uni (i hope)!

Apologies...

Dear Er Jie, Liu Mei

I am truly very sorry to pull out of the program despite all that you all have said to persuade mi.. So sorry that I wont be able to join u all on Mackinac Island and I am sure that I will be missing out on the fun and new experiences there.

Think you all would have read the mail that i send to the agency, and bcc to you all.. tt's partly the reason which affect my decision to pull out.. but its also due to the fact that during this period of time (between the time when we filled in the application form and now), I realised that I am not at all prepared to leave so much things behind and be out of my comfort zone for close to 5 months.. yesh, i dun mind gg US for a holiday, maybe for few weeks or close to a month.. but i doubt i will like to be away from home forsuch a long time.. unlike gary, mingwee and maybe you, deb, i dun think I can survive out there for so long.. maybe not for now.. and I felt even more so as i listen to the international ger spoke in class today.. furthermore, its also during this period of time that my decision is wavering still, although i paid the money outfront.. as the time passed, i felt more and more sian, and when I saw how Kristin replied to our mail, I was tellinmi that's it.. im not gg.. so i guessed, its more of a personality, and my nature.. not that ready to move out my comfort zone..

yeah gers, you all are right.. we have tomove out of our comfort zone in order to experience new things.. I totally agreed to that, I attempted on learning cycling, bought a lappy so tt I can bring overthere, asked my mom to buy mi a warm trenchcoat when she go to shanghai, take on temp job this hols and even tell my dad's Canadian frens that i will surely drop them a visit when im there.. but despite all these efforts to prepare and keep mi enthu of gg, i felt otherwise..

yep, tt's y I made the decision of pulling out.. i did make serious weighing of pros and cons b4 coming out with the decision.. but i guess the cons overweigh the pros to some extent.. however, i do hope that my decision to opt out wontaffect your decisions.. and lastly, and again, im really sorry.. a thousand apologies..

luv, si mei/jie

my hall room!~ the table is apparently too small for my things!! lol

my collegue gave mi this tee..a sample from our licensee =)

zh's bdae celebration! a catching up session at tcc near PS..

2006..Week 1~

i ushered 2006 in a rather quiet manner.. watchin tv at home alone, wif my parents both in Shanghai and my sis in pulau ubin.. but was glad to receive greetings from friends.. =) 1st week into the yr was rather bz with lotsa stuff..

started hall stayin (again) on tues.. roomie is quite a nice person, yr 4, material engine ger.. small and petite.. and jus like me, we are both very stressed over fyp.. a complete different picture from our toiletmates who are first yr students (one in marine and another in bus) who are loaded with hall committments.. very happening.. well, thoses were the days for us too.. the environement is good, close to canteen, close to bus stop and of course jus a short distance away from SRC! but the room is abit too cold at night, esp with the weather turning cold these few daes.. brrrr... did not quite sleep well for the first few daes.. was waken up jus after 3 hours of sleep on my 2nd dae by a dream.. dreamt of someone.. and after tt, i tossed and turned on my bed for the rest of my nite, or maybe, morning.. jus couldnt get into sleep again..

sch started this week.. employment law lecturer is quite a nice chap, considering that he shd be coming wif a law background, he's not tt boring since he tried to 'spice' up the class wif some of his personal opinions and jokes.. but like all laywers, they spoke damn fluently.. wif all the law jargons though.. change management class was ok, but i jus sit thru the class with nothing registering in my brain.. maybe due to the lack of sleep in hall..

but academic stuff aside, played a game of badminton after class with my sisters.. great game, gers.. let's have another game somedae next week? and yeah, went back to work on fri.. not as part-timer, jus to offset the off dae i took last month.. yet to consider whether to part time there though.. still waitin.. and on my mind still, the US thing.. high tendency for mi to cancel it.. sorry, deb and sini.. but i was so pissed with the reply from the US side, jus dun wanna put myself at the disadvantage when i go over there..
