Last few days

of CNY.

Last friday, I went over to Jurong Point with the colleagues to buy vouchers for a colleague who's giving birth soon. We also "dragged" a colleague to look at rings LOL..
Gotta let the man have a gauge of what to buy hahaha no excuse for not getting ><

After that went school with the gals and I waited for dear to finish his test around 8+
Dear and I then went to have fishhead steamboat at Jurong East before heading back to my place.

Sat morning, dear went IPPT and I went marketing with mum.. dear came back around noon but it was so warm so we spent the day lazing and napping.. it's almost impossible to read too.
We brought Snoopi to Jurong Lake for a walk around 5pm when it was much cooler.

Dear and I then came back and brought my parents out for dinner at West COast Plaza.
We treated both of them to dinner at New York New York :)
The meat platter is really worthy lol, though menu wrote for 2.. its suitable for 3 at least LOL.
We had overload of meat ah hahahah

I WILL MISS U..

my talkative friend lol




we had a staff lunch on thursday organised by the Chairperson personally

*****
and congrats to a friend and a colleague for getting really good queue numbers for their flats.. which means high chances of actually getting a unit :)
one had no. 70+ out of 100+ units
one had no. 100+ out of 1000+ units

though they mentioned it werent their choice location BUT its still acceptable and they're still happy with the outcome.
IF NOT, it will be getting too expensive and waiting time too long to bear

next time if I do get mine, I have alot of "shifu" to ask already :P

All the best!

Slowly

the feeling of being burnt out is creepin in..
I know there's others out there who worked harder than me

but still..
I feel my stamina slowly seepin away from me..

No matter how I may grumble.. I still have to bear with it till year end THEN I think of what to do.

A friend said, its a matter of choice.
I chose this path. I walk till the end of it.

I HATE MARCH.

CNY meetups

Both at Jurong Point :)

CNY mah.. no matter how busy must gather once in awhile

I tried fortune telling with a colleague and he said I should find a job that deals with people..

Let's hope that it will turn out fruitful!
It was so so crowded, only managed to get the horoscope paper cutting.

Chu Qi

Finally

CNY's visiting all done I hope.
FInally I am relieved of those
"you still getting ang pow ah?" "when are you getting married?"
"when can I dont give ang pow?" "when are you giving ang pow?"

I know its all made in jest, out of fun.
I am not enjoying it, but I tried my best to smile and reply.

Recently a married friend of mine was telling me all the disadvantages of being married versus dating
all the flaws u think you can accept during dating are all amplified when married
dating probs is nothing compared to marriage probs
probs can be from everywhere anywhere

so her advice, be VERY VERY SURE, and dont attempt to change someone or dont expect someone will change for you.

In short, Don't marry for the sake of it, not even for the house.
