march babies!

whoo! photos from the kbox birthday celebration! :D


birthday presents! cool 'vouchers' from congming that are reusable, since we've got to be good role models as geog students! and baby eeyore! so ke ai de! eeyore's tag says,' I'm looking for my owner...GAY!' HAHA i have amusing friends :)

lunch at changing appetites was quite nice! just found it quite -argh- that i couldnt pay for the meal again! hmph... was suppose to be a birthday treat from majella and me but oh wells, i think i was too slow lah. but then again, i think this will probably be the last time. don't want treats like this again..just makes me feel bad for days. :(

22 March 2008 :) with liangcha, strepsils and a pretty card with a 'C'.
at least i think it's pretty cuz i made it!

(Passing thought: not everthing is forever, isn't it? some things are meant to be good only for a short while, so we should just treasure the moments cuz we'll never know when it's gonna end.:) not meant to be emo lah... haha somehow it just came out like that ;p)

on the second last day of march, let's wish ourselves a very Happy Birthday!

don't count the years, just count the way...


Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul you've helped to grow
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

Hope you've had a great birthday celebration today! :D Happy 27th Birthday, little miss shy!!;p

年轻无极限

現在的我是否有些不同
努力工作也努力的犯錯
二十五歲的我 學著大人應該有的動作
翻來覆去 現實讓我退縮
夢想已經不夠想法漸漸成熟
下個腳步我懂 怎麼做新鮮的念頭衝擊著我 平衡快失控
張開手 起飛 讓年輕無極限
挑戰一切 飛越更多空間才能體驗
不害怕改變 不一定往前追
停住時間享受這一分鐘 我深深的體會
這個世界規則有點難懂
曾經努力不一定有收穫 未知的事太多





:D

post birthday + results

wah! it's been a super long long long time! haha.. about half a month MIA already. ok at least i feel that it's been a looonng time. oh man! work is really getting to me. ;( seriously, so many things have happened during this short month or so... can't really remember everything. grah! that's the problem with not blogging regularly.

for one, work is really getting much better for me already. i'm even enjoying it sometimes, in the sense that i do actually look forward to going to work somedays... when i'm feeling happier. haha! you must really think i'm crazy. maybe it's because things start looking better when you get to know your colleagues more, and there's more random chats throughout the day, kinda make working hours seem shorter. most probably extending my contract till april/june too, though there was a period of uncertainty within me. anyway, i think fate has decided for me since PwC has no vacancies currently. well.. i guess happiness does matter more, isn't it?

then it was the anticipation of the results that all of us dreaded. i think it's really difficult to describe my feelings. from feeling dreadful, to being anxious, back to feeling dreadful, to being numb from all the worrying and nightmares... to the excitement plus hopelessness plus anxiety with a dull sense of inevitability that it's all coming back at me at one shot, on that piece of paper. it's like the effect of all i've done (or not done) coming back to haunt me after so long (to me, the wait seemed really long...). that was really how i felt the period before results. the fact that almost all my colleagues are asking how i'm feeling about results and my confidence level doesn't make me feel any better. it kinda creates an intangible pressure that i think is really not needed.

felt quite happy and relieved that the cohort did reasonably well, i think, according to ms leong. that could mean two things; either i did as well as the majority or i did terribly, falling into the minority band. throughout i was filled with a sense of euphoria within me while my facial expression remained tensed, or so i thought. but when i received my results, that moment was the weirdest! i didn't know how to react, seriously. i think i just said,' whoa...really didn't expect this...' and i think my pd tutor didn't know how to react. haha! i was screaming from inside but i think my face was really calm and maybe, blank. aiyoh, i think my feelings and my facial expressions really tak match one..haha! and all my emo plans were uh, abandoned for a moment. but seriously, i didn't know what to do with myself then. so i ended up sitting at the bus stop for some time... thinking and thinking, and sending lots of sms-es.

birthday celebration the previous day was great! singing at kbox was quite satisfying, after such a long time. received great presents too! one was something i wanted and another was something that was really special and sweet! thank you congming and woo~ HAHA it's been great! at least for that few hours, we didn't really have to think about the next day. photos coming up in the next post! (but uh... might be in a week's time, at least ;p)
