Goodbye 2006
Today I've received a chance to do a good deed, and I'm proud to say that I have no regrets not goin out to enjoy the crowded atmosphere down at the city watchin fireworks. Yoon and his sis needed a place to move out today, and we've been called to help. There's a spare bedroom upstairs reserved for Alex in Feb, but since it's empty now, we've let Yoon and his sister to stay a while. 3 of us drove our cars to Yoon's place and helped him move his belongings out. 4 cars loaded (not even full) and we've got everything. I'd imagine puttin my belongings into 4 of our cars, and I'm not sure if I'll have everything in. :P Anyway, it's doin a good deed, and I'm grateful dat I've got the opportunity to offer help.
I'm becomin increasingly grateful to the man above, and of course to those who've lent their hands to me when I was in need. Most of all they would be my parents, for their love and care, and of course, the financial support. We can't just feed on love, put it in a more practical way, and I'm blessed with parents who are able to take care of me and my siblings, put a roof over our heads, food to our mouth, clothes to our bodies, education and so on. I'm just really thankful, for all the things I have, all the people I love.
It's the month of December, and I'm missing my friends. I miss Charz, Kai, Elaine and Joey so so so much. Of course there are the rest of u dat I won't name here. Not havin my girlz here with me is not easy, no where to hang out, no one to go shoppin with, coffee n mamak sessions, together with all our sleepovers. I've got to admit, I've never really had sleepovers at friend's place until I met you girlz.
I shan't go on for too long, I just wish dat everyone could be happy and healthy. I really sincerely hope dat I'll keep to my resolutions (i'm still writin them), mainly to keep atop of my finances, not dat i'm in debt or anythin; to keep my weight and at the same time be a bit more fit than how I am now. Yeah, dat's probably the 2 most important things I have in mind now.. Oh oh, n I'll make sure I do well in my CPA papers.
Wish me luck, and I wish u all the best.
God bless all of u, have a Happy New Year.
p/s: Happy New Year to u too, Baba~

Hooray
It was thru networking again, not thru my own hardwork tho. but i'm so glad i'll be workin right now, x'mas just around the corner, n i'd be left totally broke n wouldn't have any money to shop.
It was Jacke's daddy's b'day on the 9th, Happy B'day Uncle Charlie~
Yesterday was my own daddy's b'day, Muakz n Happy B'day to u daddy~~
Today, today is a special day.. It's my 3rd anniversary with Jacke..
*pops confetti.
The weather is just a drag these days, i went to work today in a long sleeve shirt folded up to my elbow, it felt pretty chilly this mornin. then i was sweatin my way til the end of the day. Bugger weather.. Poor Australia is havin a draught tho.. heard on the radio dat there were about 20 homes destroyed in rural Victoria. I hope the situation won't worsen as the wind is said to have changed directions to the North West today.
Need more work clothes, short sleeve ones.. SOON!! i only have 2, n they seem a bit.. childish.. or inappropriate. doesn't matter, i'm wearin one tomorrow. Tmr's weather warmer than today, don't wanna sweat like a pig, since the air-conditioning is a bit weird.
Let me talk a bit on my work.. it's not really a permanent job, n it's not even really on accounting, which i studied on. Hoey Im Jie's fren Mark owns an IT company, it basically supplies all ur IT needs, from software, hardware, networking.. etc. i'm not really an IT person, u see, so i'll leave it an "etc". For now i'll be workin under George, the Network Division Manager, but THAT doesn't make me Assistant Manager, okay? i'm only an assistant to the manager. keke, i don't even know wat my position is called, if there is even a name for it. Anyway, George is really a nice guy, he works real fast n being a "mountain tortoise" as i am, today would be the 1st day i've ever really seen someone usin 2 screens. IT IS COOL!!!!!! George says I might need 2 screens when i'm more settled at work, coz i need to get a lot of things done. Gosh, there's so much documentation to do.. n i had a Subway 6-inch Chicken Fillet on a wheat bread. That's not relevant, anyway.. i'm hoping to help George in watever he needs, be as efficient as i can, try to fit enough things to call it a productive day. Hectic, i'd imagine, they have so little ppl in the office, which is pretty big. So far I've also met the GM, Steve, who's been offering my advice on my accounting career (he's a CA n he has a practice!!), Lynn (she does HR & Accounting), Bory (korean software engineer with the msn nick "I HATE WORK" ahha). then there's Chris (dunno wat he does) n there's the cleaning lady Cathy. Of course there's also Mark in the office.
Haven't been gettin enough sleep lately, i keep wakin up in the middle of the night. I can't really sleep face up, but sleepin sideways is givin me aches on my arms, which is nasty.. n i wake up becoz of dat. then when the sun is up at about 5am, i wake up again even tho it's not time yet. then when i get cold, i wake up again, when i'm feelin too hot, i wake up. sheessh, no wonder i have eye-bags.. mum n dad has said i've never really slept much as a child, always up n about. but i do love sleep!! n i can't sleep til 4pm on some days, given there's total quietness n i've been able to shut the sunlight out, n dat the temperature is just nice.. n i have been tired. hah! too much to ask for. anyway, today's also the last day of sales for Sass & Bide, which i am hoping to go but forgot. never mind, i'll save up for post x'mas sale.
So i guess i won't be able to go back to KL for now, since i'm gonna be workin. Payday is before x'mas, n the company will be closing from the 23rd Dec til 7th Jan. That's basically 3 weeks without pay for me. Payday is also every fortnight, which i think is quite good. keke well, i gotta draft out my expenses by tomorrow so i can give Steve a figure. I think he's gonna determine how much i'll be paid n how i'll be paid. Up til now, we haven't decided if i should be paid by the hour, by the week or by the month. Oh well, we'll see how.So how are my girls?? n guys..? :P Joey's fiction has been goin rather slowly i think, but it's still fun to read. I read dat Charz has went out with Kai n Shuj, which is great. Albert's goin back to HK, altho mama wants him to stay in S'pore. Sigh, I miss all of u guys so much.
i guess i'll see u guyz in another while, hopefully in real life, not just online. But right now i htink i should focus more on work, n gettin more money for shoppin!! :P ek, wrong answer.
BTW, Jacke bought me a really nice pendant from Swarovski. There's the pink heart with a lil butterfly on the side. It looks like this, but the pink is alot darker, n nicer! I lost the diamond necklace while on the Redang trip, he's a bit pissed with dat. Well, i didn't do it on purpose.. :( But Thanks darling.. i really like it..
Anyway, i should go sleep now. Will do pictures another time, since i'm usin my sis' computer anyway. i nicked it from her place last weekend, now i'm playin games with it. keke Alrighty, love ya guyz.. bbyez :*
