FRIDAY!!! WHOOHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good day all. It’s finally Friday!

 

Been out for lunch with my uni mates…busy at work…

 

Just some quick updates about myself……….

 

I started work in a new company in the city……been in this company for 3 weeks now…….time flies…..have great bosses……..good colleagues………have my own office………window view, although facing the road…….so those of you who walk past Citibank building, look up and wave to me……..hahaha……….i’m facing the park…….been learning heaps of new stuff………enjoying work so far………

 

I realised that I am a workaholic……….as in I cannot stand not having anything to do in the office……….arrghhh……….whenever I finish something, I crave for more stuff to do……….not sure why………but I feel uncomfy when I have nothing to do…….maybe seems like I am not working??? Sigh………but, at night, when I lie down, I go straight to dreamland………

 

Oh ya, got my results last Wednesday too……..surprised with my results again………I thought I wont do so well, but hmmm….i scored all distinctions for my units………praise God!!!! I was feeling rather down after my exams, coz I thought I didn’t prepare myself well enough……….anyway, praise God………really…….and gotta thank Dave too……couldn’t have done it without him……….he cooks and cleans and looks after me……….hehe……he’s a loving husband………I am proud to say that I love him………..so……guys, I have finally completed my Master of Accounting!!!!! Whoohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My graduation is in September……..somehow, don’t feel quite excited about it……but I guess I’ll feel excited when it nears……..

 

My parents are coming in August with my niece and sis and bro-in-law too………looking forward to see them!!!! Cant wait to see them! YESSSS!!! Home cooked food!!!! Yum yum!!!!

 

Tonight, gonna have a social night in church………bringing some friends to church……….quite excited……..coz they are non-believers……….although it’s just for social night, but hope that they click with other friends, and will come visit the service…………

 

Past few weeks, I’ve been shopping heaps too………spending too much money on clothes……….but I guess I need them lah………(what an excuse)……..but yeah, having sales everywhere………..and plus working in the city……..and dave finishes work at 530, and I finish work at 430………so I have an hour in between to shop………dave drops me off at 745 in the morning, drives to east perth, parks at friend’s place and takes a cat to work……..home time, I’ll take a walk in town till 515 and then take a cat to his friend’s house, pick the car, and drive to pick him up……..that’s our daily routine now……..getting quite used to it……in fact, quite enjoy this daily routine………coz I do a lot of walking now………I need that………since I started studying, I put on so much weight!!!!! Need to lose some now……….hahahaha…………

 

Hmm…….what else is there to update??? Nothing much lah………..i should be going back end of the year, or chinese new year……….

 

Oh ya, a friend/junior from Convent just came to perth! So excited……..when we started talking on the phone, like orang gila!!!!! Laugh and laugh……..but yeah, gonna meet her in church tonight!!! Happy!!!!

 

Hope everyone will have a great weekend! God bless………….

He's so good!!!!!

God is good...........all the time!

Winter now...........cold.............and errrhhhh....somehow a bit humid...........not very sure............but yeah, its cold and wet........but it's all good..............

Having my exams at the moment.......my final exams for my course!!! Had a paper on Monday and another paper last night........feeling really exhausted............tired............last week was one busy and stressful week for me.............busy with exam preparations and at the same time, busy going for interviews.........poor dave, he suffered with me..............drove me to interviews and waited for me in the car............I quit my last job about 2 weeks ago...........to search for a job that I really want to be in and also to focus on my studies.........glad I did that.........otherwise, I would be so so so so so burnt out..........

Finally found the right job for myself..............will be starting on the 25th June..........quite happy...........I think my boss is good to work for............and I think it will be a good growth for me in this position.........been praying hard for the right job to come my way........before I graduate.....and this came my way..........thank God for it............so I have a week rest next week after my final exam on Monday...........whoohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look forward to the long awaited rest!!!! Been so stressed out with exams and all...........but it's all worth it.............

Last few nights, didnt sleep the whole night through.....and again Dave suffered the brunt of me tossing and turning and kicking.............he too became a zombie..........hahaha......but yeah, been having sleepless nights lately, not sure why........insomnia.............sigh...........

Anyway, for you guys who have been asking me what is going on with my life..........so far thats about it..............

Another thing to update is we went to visit an indonesian man who got burnt severely.......and he is disfigured...........very poor thing..........and the thing is he cant tell his family that he is burnt and etc........so he told his family he cant go back and he wants to live here.........and his family thnks that he doesnt want them anymore back home in the village coz he is doing well........that is breaking his heart..........feel very very bad for him........anyway, will embrace him into our lives and try to be his family here............

Gotta go soon..........will update more next week hopefully..............

Take care all..........and have a great day and week ahead!!!

God bless!

question.....

What is your purpose of life on earth? What happens after you have gained everything you ever wanted in life? What next?

Should be having this discussion very soon..........so would like to get some insights into different people's purposes of life...............

Some of you have been asking me to post some pictures........as mentioned, I have became a fat pig!!!!! :):):) So some pictures taken with my mobile phone..........many of my pictures are self shots............coz there was a period where Dave was offshore and I kept taking pics of myself to send to him.......... :) Will be typing a blog soon...........stay tuned :):):)

HAPPY PIG YEAR!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR ALL!!!!!

 

Nearly the end of summer now...time really flies and another year gone by...hope everyone is having a great time during this festive period……..

 

As for me…work work work for this whole week...and next week I am back to uni again!!!!! Cant wait to finish! Really cant wait to finish!

 

Did my summer units last month...exams over...just last week and next week, uni is starting again. Gosh! I am exhausted...

 

For a long time, I haven’t been sick...soon after I finished my exams, I fell dead sick!!! I was down with a fever and was in bed for two days. Vomitting and the world was spinning around me! Sigh! Well, that is the result of stress!

 

Went to my in-laws place for reunion dinner. It was alright. Watched Daddy Day Care at night, and went to bed. Stayed over for a night but couldn’t sleep at all. Was in the basement guest room, but couldn’t sleep. So we went upstairs to Dave’s room, also couldn’t sleep. Didn’t do my recovery any justice at all. Then next day, went under the hot sun to play tennis with Dave and Aaron. I nearly died. Felt so weak that I couldn’t even lift my tennis racquet anymore. Reached home, showered and waited for the results of the show “so you think you can dance”. It was so draggy and by the time the results were out, I was really grouchy already. How long must they drag it, I don’t understand. Went to bed. Worked the next day.

 

Went to visit my uncle last night, and had dinner at his place. It was quite nice to have the feeling of togetherness after not having CNY for so many years now. Also distributed angpows for the first time to my nieces. But I didn’t do it. Haha. Dave did it. Felt quite weird!

 

Been really busy at work the whole day rushing payroll, cheques, payments, etc etc. Cant wait for today to end. Wanna lie in bed and do nothing. Sleepy. Tired. Fatigue is in me. I am old I guess. No more energy. I am like the car tyre, where there’s a puncture and I am depleting at a very high speed.

 

I NEED A HOLIDAY!!!! HAHAHA!!!

 

How can I afford the time now that uni is starting in a few days time?! I am just glad that this is my final semester! Cant believe how I went through last semester and summer school working and studying at the same time! I wonder how, coz at this point of time, I cant seem to find the energy to even do 3 units. I did 4 units last semester and 2 units during summer. *shaking my head* But good thing is I did really well for that semester and did quite alright during summer. Just hope that I will pull through my final 3 units as well!

 

Sorry for the complains! It’s the CNY, so gotta be happy happy!!! JJJ

 

HAVE A GREAT YEAR OF THE PIG!!!! AND STAY HEALTHY AND HAPPY!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

fatigue.........

Wow.......time flies.......nearly February........

It has been super dupa hot in Perth!!!!! Few nights in a row had to on the aircond coz it was so so so hot!!!!! Cant wait till the hot period is over...........i never liked summer!!!!!

Many things happened as usual........went back to uni........still working.......stressed........at work in uni.......assignments, tests, mid sem exams, etc etc...........work load getting heavier and heavier!!!!! Sigh.............

Came back, uni started on the same day i touched down.........before that, drama in singapore........with our flights........flew to brunei for a "vacation" for one day and was supposed to fly back to perth the next day........but flew back to singapore and took singapore airlines back to perth again...........super drama!!!! plane had technical problems.........so no choice..........the number of pills i took.........made me sick when i came back!!!!! head was constantly spinning!!!!! once more, i emphasise I HATE TAKING THE PLANE!!!!!

Uni started........went back to work.........and life went on...........

Exciting stuff would be property investment at the moment.........in Queensland........hope to visit QLD soon....havent been there before.............and dave and i bought some coffee tables (finally) and some side tables for our living room and the formal lounge...........dave also got me a set of drums!!!! Cool!!!!! Banging the drums till i think my neighbours will go mad!!! Hahahaha.............

Hi all....

I am back in Singapore CHangi airport. We flew to brunei yesterday in the afternoon and stayed a night in brunei......this morning we went to the aiport in brunei, and they told us that our flight is postponed till tomorrow 9am......my goodness.......so we fought for it and they flew us back to Singapore again to fly back to Perth on SIA!!!!! This is terrible!!! I hate taking aeroplanes!!!! Had so many motion sickness pills already and now I am feeling sick!!!!!

Our flight is at 115am.....I just wanna get home!!!!! Tired and sleepy.......up and down the plane is not funny at all especially when you are having a flu....you feel as though your ear drums are gonna burst!!!!! Already blocked due to the flu, then blocked in the air.....

Anyway it has been a good trip!!!! Eat and eat and eat!!!! I am so round its not funny......even Dave said that I put on weight.........how not to when my mum made me eat like there's no tomorow??! Hahahaha.........but I enjoyed every bit of my ohliday!!!! Went to Penang after nearly 10 years!!! Saw y cousins and boy, they are all grown ups now....hehehe......

This keyboard is very difficult to use.......anyway, I think I am going crazy.....i just cant wait to get back home and sleep!!!!!

This year alone, I have been on the plane for 10 times......and honestly its not fun at all!!!!! Sigh!!!!

Ok, shall not blabber too much....will update more stuff when I am back in Perth....

Hope eveyone is having a good night and sweet dreams, while I "fight" my way back to Perth..............

See you all soon!!!!

God bless!!!!

In Singapore Changi Airport
