The Real Me...or is it not?

The Real You

Here is the analysis:

1. You are a very serious person. You tend to be quiet and well behaved, and you don't have a great deal of self-confidence. You prefer to be alone rather than with friends (not very true!) and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys. You are very attractive in an individual kind of way, and this means it can take people a little while to get to like you.

2. You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.

3. You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm (Siao, I got what charm? haha).

4. Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible (oops!). You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult (oh that's bad!)! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?

5. Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking. (Er..this is just to say IF I have a bf, and what he may think of me, haha..)

Personality test

I like to take personality tests...one of the ways to sort of know myself better.. =)

This is quite accurate...

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Another week passed...

又有惊无险地过了一个星期...哈哈!

平时工作还好啦,挺relax的,直到星期五,才看到地狱的门口,哈哈,听起来很夸张,但是并不然!
第一次尝试在公司开会,而一开就是2个小时。=S 超恶心的……我只是个小职员啊,偏偏又浪费大家那么多的时间,在讨论一些有的没的,从下午5点一直到7点多!(And I am supposed to meet my friends for dinner at City Hall at 7.30pm...)

开了会,也就是说在来临的这一周有我好受的了……很多东西要source, 要买,还要跟suppliers说很紧急,货一定要快一点进来。再这样下去,以后还会有谁要跟我们做生意?!
一大堆有的没的screws and nuts, pulleys, electronic devices, switches, wires, hoses, bolts, washers etc,要source还要等quotation from suppliers, 这样的步骤,要怎样在一个星期之内买齐?神经病!哈哈。投诉了一大堆,很爽……

看到了一些人的真面目。尤其是上司。在职场上,每个人都一样,能推就推。但要推,至少也得证明你尽了自己的本分才容易推得干净。可是上司就有更大的权力,只要一句话:"No, you cannot say that." or "No, that's not the point." 就能把错推到你身上。我指的是我上司的上司对待我上司时候的态度。我比较安全,因为我毕竟是temp,所以他不会对我怎么样。不要以为Ang Moh就会更友善,他们有时反而更有“心机”,很不简单。”笑里藏刀,我真的体会到了。笑容再怎么灿烂,眼神都会背叛他们。Yucks...I am utterly disgusted.

我决定在7月20日辞职。3个礼拜可以休息,哈哈,真好!

最近我花了很多钱,而且薪水还没来,所以花的是未来钱!wahaha...


Went to meet Hiany and Irene for dinner @ New York New York on Friday evening..had a nice green apple flavoured cotton candy! Sorry to keep you waiting gals! =P


Our dinner...looks not bad huh? haha..but it was super filling too!


Went to the 复古 arcade at Bugis Junction yesterday with Bing and Kee Lee, played some games and these are our 战利品!haha..those kinda old machines where there will be tickets being issued out after playing, and you go to the counter to exchange them for gifts! haha...missed those machines..and it is a super good way to relieve stress or vent your frustrations...haha


My lunch at a Hong Kong cafe at Bugis! The food is so-so la..not very nice..but I just like Hong Kong cafe, don't know why..maybe it is because the wide variety of food available suits a 善变 Gemini like me ba...haha..


My beloved choir Jie Meis...Joyce is in Shanghai..I love you gals!! =D

Helpless

Recently...many things happened...

So much and so fast that before I can look into one thing, to reflect and find solutions, another thing happened...and the worst thing is, I cannot multi-task, and due to work I have less time and energy to think about things.

When you are busy looking after one thing, you tend to neglect the other. And that's what had happened to me...

Friends who are so close to me are hurt by me, by my unintentional actions and behaviour. And because they are my best friends, they also want me to be happy, and so they kept their unhappiness to themselves..

Thus..I want to say, especially to Bing: I am sorry. And to Daniel: Thank you very much. I definitely do not want history to repeat itself again, and this will be a reminder for me not to take people around me for granted. I want to cherish my friends, true friends who are really concerned about me, and of course, not to be a miser in showing my concerns for them. Daniel is right here, feeling concerned is not enough, you have to show it out, carry it out...
And he is right again, that I am a very blessed person. I am blessed for being who I am, with so many people who truly cares for me. What more should I ask for?

最简单的道理,反而更容易被遗忘。“知足常乐”这四个字,很多人或许过了一辈子都不会了解。

睡不着。

七早八早就上网写部落格的原因 -- 睡不着。
睡不着的原因 -- 不知道。

是因为身体机能已经习惯了每天少过7个小时的睡眠?还是咖啡喝得太多了?

其实还不到8点我就起床了。看了报纸、上了厕所,想倒头就睡。怎知,像咸鱼一样,在床上翻了几次身,却还是没有睡意。

不过我觉得很疲惫,真的很疲惫,而且是身心都疲惫。哈哈。

期待、盼望,却又很害怕换回来的只是失望,所以很多时候,就干脆学会不要有期望,才不会有失望。人就是这么矛盾,想要,却又担心自己会‘吃亏’。哈哈。

我刚刚对不起一位好朋友。明明答应和她去做一件事,可是我却失信了,决定自己先去做。对不起!这虽然只是件小事,可是这跟事情的大小无关,而是我的自私让我不守信用。因此不管你有没有看到,我还是要说一声:“对不起!”=(

Joyce ah..我跟你最近的运气和心情都好像有点‘背’咧。我们也不愧是'Haro Tanpoon'的一份子,连这运气和心情这种事也可以一起变好或变坏!哈哈。。是什么跟什么嘛?

很讨厌、很讨厌、很讨厌。我要停止,绝对停止。我要我的心情恢复原来的平静。不管什么后果,由我自己承担。

《咸鱼》--- 五月天

One of my favourite songs by Mayday...

我是一只咸鱼
不想承认也不能否认
不要同情我笨又夸我天真
还梦想著翻身
咸鱼就算翻身还是只咸鱼
输得也诚恳
至少到最后我还有咸鱼
不腐烂的自尊
我没有任何天分
我却有梦的天真
我是傻不是蠢
我将会证明用我的一生

我如果有梦
有没有错
错过才会更加明白,明白坚持是什么
我如果有梦
梦要够疯
够疯才能变成英雄
总会有一篇我的传说

我不好也不坏不特别出众
我只是敢不同
我的人生就是一错再错
错完了再从头
也许放弃掉一些,活得更轻松
我却不再是我
我不愿一生晒太阳吹风
咸鱼也要有梦

有一天有我的天空

作我的英雄在我的天空
我知道你懂知道你会懂

Mahjong!

Went for choir practice in the morning today...as usual..practice from 10am to 1pm before we headed for lunch.

Choir is always fun for me, not just the singing part of course, but the people and the interactions between these people, just make the singing sessions more lively. Imagine not all songs are nice to sing, or really pleasing to listen to... =)

Then went to meet the St. Nicks gang for lunch at NY NY at City Link...my first time there though.. =) Food was, so so lah..not very fantastic, but the spring chicken I had was really juicy! I just pour the juice into my pasta...literally pour..and all of them were so amused by me...haha...but that really made the pasta nicer lor..chicken stock leh! (auntie...) Wahaha..

We walked around Marina Square, before we decided to cheong down to June's place to play mahjong! haha...damn long nv play le..and I can't really remember how to play it..need refreshment lessons from Emelia, Yiing Yng and June..haha..
We happily played from 5plus to 10pm..it was really fun man!
And I keep making some stupid mistakes...I shall not describe here..will only embarrass myself..wahaha...but I supposed YY would blog about it! haha..

It's gonna be cycling and movie tomorrow! Yay! I need to exercise..been eating alot in the office..with so much snacks hanging around, and colleagues passing them around...plus sit in the office for the whole day... 不发福才怪! haha..

Interesting tests..haha..

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves.

You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't?

You prefer a quirky, unique person to be your lover. You're easy going about who you're with, as long as they love you back.

In fights, you are able to walk away and calm down. You are able to weather the storm.

Getting over a break-up doesn't take long. Easy come, easy go.

I communicate like a Woman! Diao...

You Communicate Like a Woman

You empathize, talk things out, and express your emotions freely.
You're a good listener, and you're non-judgmental with your advice.
Communication is how you connect with people.
You're always up for a long talk, no matter how difficult the subject matter is.

Happy Birthday to me!

Haha...what a 不要脸 post title...

Had a very happening and fun-filled birthday yesterday...
Meeting with AJ alumni at AJ for the AJ Cultural Night performance at 9am. Then went for AJ alumni choir practice at AMK CC. (Met my S'pore Society tutor there, and he didn't recognise me...stupid and “热情” Hiangky went up to say hi, leaving my tutor feeling puzzled, and embarrassed Hiangky had to explain to him that he taught me before in NUS 2 sems ago...haha...)

Anyway, many people turned up for choir practice! Haha...and when I went in, they sang birthday song for me! Wheegeok bought me a birthday cake too, I don't know who else chipped in, but thank you no matter what! The cake is really DELICIOUS! It's a raspberry and chocolate mousse cake, and tastes good.... *Hiangky drools* =P


Pretty and delicious cake! Blessed Hianky! =D

Had practice as usual and we sang quite a few songs...including 2 songs for the Dumpling festival performance..some Cuckoo Bird song (it's really called lidat, I'm not trying to be funny here hor..) and 宇宙小毛球 the cartoon theme song! Nice song! :D Plus our choir theme song No Importa La Distancia (Go the Distance) Spanish version (isit Spanish? or something else? haha..), Budak Pantai's 月亮代表我的心, Blue Moon, Sigulempong and Walking In the Air...it was great singing with the choir... =)

Went to have lunch at J8 with them...plus Libing..walked around J8 before the 2 of us headed down to Bugis to walk...went to Haji Lane again!! And Liping and Huixian joined us shortly, Daniel too! Had ice-cream at one of the shops there...crapped a bit, then went to a Turkish restaurant to eat...

Bing and I trying out dresses at Haji Lane..secretly took these photos in the changing room..haha...and yes, we share 1 room..cos there's only 1 changing room! Haha...

She's very chio right? =P

This dress is nice too, but I find it a little too long, it's over my knees, and I scared I'll look short. =S
I need to get a dress for my brother's wedding next month. The thing is, I will be going up on stage because I'm being "invited" to be the Mandarin host for the dinner..my co-host will speak "Engrish" of cos, haha...
Ok, back to the subject. The restaurant is cool, food is..erm..special..haha..but the kebab is damn damn nice! And the most awful thing we tried..the Yogurt drink! All of us disliked it..haha...

Very exotic decor..

This is what we see when we look up from where we're seated...
The disgusting Yogurt drink! But the cup is cool sia? haha.. It looks like milk from the picture though...

Our bread and cold dish...looks nice? These are not bad... =D
Too busy eating to take other photos of food le..haha
Liping, Huixian, Me, Libing and Daniel..the background is nice! EXOTIC...haha..


My third birthday cake this year! Chocolate cake too! Haha..all 3 cakes I had had contained chocolate...Hopefully it's a sweet sweet year for me! =D
Delicious... =P

I carried this lovely sunflower everywhere I went for the whole of yesterday...given by Bing...
*Muackz* ;)

After dinner we went to Hark Music School to watch Yingzhi perform! It's a showcase for the students there, so we watched a few others sing too...
She's simply one of the best la...good showmanship and voice! Many of the singers there also 'voted' her to be the one with the greatest potential to be a singer...
So gal, JIAYOU!! =D

Lastly, met Willy at Orchard because he wanted to pass me my birthday present...and it's a top from GUESS! OMG..must be super expensive...
Hey dude, I know you are working la..but don't spoil market leh..lidat your birthday I will go "pock" leh! LOL..just joking! Really thanks a lot! =P

It's a fantastic day spent...I'm glad I've taken many photos...haha..
So many friends to thank...and to my family too..My parents wished me happy birthday once I reached home..and I happily shook my Dad's hands when he wished me...then I thought...hmm..a bit weird hor? haha...
Weird Hiangky..
But...fantastic weekend over le..it's back to work tomorrow! Urgh...Monday blues again...haha..

Late for half an hour!!!

Wah kao...I was damn late for work today...

I got up the train and bus late also la..cos I had to make a detour to the Woodlands Regional Library to return my unread library books...oops...

But anyway...the main point is...the traffic jam lasted for half an hour! It was just a straight route all the way from AMK Mrt station to the bus stop near my work place, and it took me 1 hour, just the bus ride alone! Which means it took me ALMOST 2 hours to get to work..OMG...
The jam is unpredictable. Some days it's so smooth-sailing, yet today, the jam is so crazy...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRAFFIC IN SINGAPORE??? *猛抓狂*

Ok la, working is fine...as in, the usual work, call suppliers to ask for lower price, I gotta ask them: "Why charge us so expensive? We buy from you before, then the quantity is not very small either, so why still so expensive?" And my boss said: "If you don't know how to be fierce, then 'teh' 嗲 your way through lor"...OMG...She is joking la..she can't 嗲 teh anymore cos she's an auntie already...haha..I'm still a young girl so can do that... But pls la...my character, I think before I really do that I will 一头撞墙 first...LOL

One supplier came to discuss what machinery parts are the ones that we need. Of course, I'm not the engineer, so I gotta ask the Ang Moh engineer from Holland to speak to him, and I just sit beside them and listen....
I'm so glad I'm not in engineering...totally catch no ball...
Ok la, maybe a few balls perhaps. Learnt more about screws and nuts stuff this time...

Screwed up and going nuts!

More calls to make on Monday, and sometimes, sorry is just so easily said...haha...
Office politics...a few ppl, a small office, also can have politics...so don't look down on it's power...
Luckily, and hopefully, I'll just remain an audience till my last day of work..temp job, should'nt be a problem... =D
Friends going for permanent jobs soon...I hope you all can as much as possible, remain your sincere character..it's not going to be easy, and you may be tempted to fight back sometimes, but..by doing so, you are of no different from those people...learn as we go along ba...
和睦共处,世界才会更美好..... =)

Oh anyway, a big shout out to friends who gave me lovely presents, and especially, I received a couple of them from overseas this time round! Thanks to Kee Lee, Liping and Sixian, and to Libing and Daniel who are going to spend my birthday with me, to Jiahui, Kevin and Marvin again for the lovely chocolate banana cake on Sunday!

=D
