Office Hours
Haha, blogging during office hours. Shh, don’t tell anyone. =.= Anyway its ren ri today, 7th day of new year, like, everyone’s birthday and stuff. Haha. Yizhen was practically wishing everyone happy birthday here and there. -_-
Anyway poor her. Her pet fish died today. =( Even though it’s a guppy, but yea. Haha. Condolences. Spent a lot of time yesterday and this morning in the train thinking about what I would do if I cannot qualify for ntu accounting. It is so me not to prepare a backup plan, plan B of sorts. Yup, I do not have a plan B. In fact, I did not have a plan B when I chose cchms back in primary 6, neither did I have a back up plan when I chose Temasek after secondary 4. So far, I have been rather lucky, making it to my first choices everywhere I go. So far so good. But lately I have been wondering, what if I do not make it to ntu this time? What is choice number 2? My mum kept asking me what I wanted to take in university other than accounting. I seriously have no idea. Fashion design perhaps? Mass communications? Interesting but not appealing enough. Hence I have been doing some research this morning when I came to office. I have decided that if I do not make it to NTU accountancy, I will still pursue an accounting career but maybe not in Singapore. Been looking up the University of Illinois, supposedly number 1 for their accountancy graduate courses. In fact, it was from NTU where I learnt this fact. Apparently they are partnering universities. But if it is the best it simply means that the chances of me getting into UOI is much much lower if I cannot even make it to NTU. Considered TAR college too, top college for accounting in Malaysia. Cousin is there, sounds great, but well Im not sure if I want to study someplace else other than in Singapore. Otherwise the more obvious choice is NUS accountancy, not so prestigious but will have to do.
Alright got work to do. Appears I wont be staying at nestle even one week, since I have been so efficient and completed the weeks work in 3 days. 2 and a half I mean. =x tata.

Tipsy, Turvy, Upside Down.
Had new year party at my godma's place today. There were many people, great food, and lots of hong baos!! hahaha. Drank aboslute vodka... Must have drank too much too fast.. After that was really feeling very drowsy.. drunk. Very red, headache, heart thumping like crazy... First time. Luckily I was conscious enough to remember Ivan's advice and rushed to the toilet to wash my face with cold water.. Tried to shake the headache off but it got worse.. ahh.. And the party was only starting.. Took a sit and it got better. Took 5-10 minutes on the couch, then more washing face.. And it got much much better! hahaha.. Well, now i know the method. XD
Anyway, work tommorrow, data entry for patsy. Feels great to be going back to nestle after so long.. But it equally means that I have to put driving on hold, that is until I get my fixed schedule. Apparently, I got to be prepared to work ot tommorrow and maybe the day after. Somehow patsy is rushing some stuff.
Been like ages since I turned my msn to online. Haha.. Alright. Sleep. I think. Unless......
XD
So long.. too long girl.. u will never know how much i missed you.

Happy New Year 2008
!!!
When back to Malaysia last tuesday night. Looked forward to it. Malaysia is great! Haha. All the cousins and uncles and aunties and all.. Except for one thing. The houseflies totally pissed me off. grrr.. Big stubborn houseflies at Machap. How I wish I had those fly swatters. Haha. One swipe and I would have gotten at least 3-4 of them. =x That bad.
Anyway tuesday. Went in at night. .Reached my third uncle's place at 1am! Tired. Slept. Next day had to wait for 4th uncle and 3rd grand uncle to come into johore to meet us first. Delayed.
My 2nd uncle did not go back this year due to his recent surgery. Aw man.. Can't believe the fun they are actually missing. HAHA. Evil evil.
New year day. Went around to " collect angbaos". Yup, thats the term we call it. XD Anyway my father let me drive the car!! Hehe. No liscence. o.0 But only drove on the road behind my grandma's. small road. And it was auto car. Not that hard to drive either. =.=
Afternoon. 2nd Grand aunt's place!! That is like.. Tradition. New year day must go 2nd grand aunt's place for lunch. And the soup!! Haha. Thats what we all went there for. The soup!! Pig intestine. Yummy. But they made so little!! =( Either that or the rest of them ate alot. Ha. By the time I went to the pot it was almost scraping the bottom already. But 2nd grandaunt promised to make it the next day =D. After that... Lets see. Went home.. prepare for the dinner. Then to 2nd grandaunt's place again! =.= Thats because it is their turn to host the dinner this year. We take turns to host it every year. Poor them. Had to cook lunch, prepare dinner, and lunch the next day too. -_-
Anyway while the place was quite hot and relatively small, it was great to meet all those uncles and aunties and cousins too. Haha. Had quite a few scratches from the young ones. Terribly voilent. o.0 Had a good time talking with the older ones. Haha.. Finally talked to ming this year! Its like, never used to talk to him. He also did not really socialise in the previous years. anyway he was rather chatty. Interesting and nice guy. Did not get to talk to his sister though. She's quite shy. And sticking with her mum most of the time. Haha.
Then there was Daniel and Carolyn, my two long time best cousins and buds. Haha. Do not even know how we got that close. Its like we are quite distant cousins and yet still can mix. Must be auntie mary. Very gossipy and lively/ chatty lady. Mixes with everyone. And use to be very close to my dad too. Well, spent alot of time this year talking about ns. o.0 They were all asking how ns in sg is different from that in malaysia. =.=
Oh and since this year we managed to stay longer due to the weekends, we could finally see my 1st aunt! haha.. And her kids, su wan and jun xian.. Yup. Managed to talk to them abit more this year. That is becuase for previous years they always came on the day when we were leaving. =.= Wan wan is grade 7 already!! Gosh. I feel embarassed. Haha. Grade 6 only. And stopped already. She is like.. 5 years my junior. Haha.. Man.
Anyway the fireworks this year were much lesser. Heard the police were clamping down real hard on the vendors. Aww.. Soon it will become like singapore. Quiet skies. =( Anyway grandma gave us RM100 angbao this year!! Thats like double the years before. Ahh, feel so guilty. Old lady and still increase angbao for us. Its like stealing more of her money. =( Anyway, angbao amounts increased too. Haha. Somehow the number decreased though. Worked out to be almost the same. I thought with kah wei married and ah soon almost married AND ah li married we would get more. =p Apparently not. Do not know where the rest disappeared to.
But still, a very interesting and enjoyed new year. Love the big family. My mum was telling me how they were intimidated when she first married my dad and had to go for the big family gatherings. Haha. No way is that intimidating.. In fact its great. Of course that is if you have a group to join in conversations. Haha. With aunty mary around? No problem. XP
Oh and my 6th uncle's daughter is sooo cute now!! She actually can pose for the camera. Haha. Tell her dad where she wants to tkae her pictures. And she is only 2! Does not like strangers alot though. Neither us, her close cousins. Apparently needs more time to warm up. Haha. Still very cute.
While by going back to malaysia on new year means that i have been missing new year celebrations in Singapore since like.. forever, no regrets. Really great to be back there with the whole big family. And of course the five snakes! Haha. Personally know 2 of them already. Daniel and Jun Xian. One in the proccess, Sarah. Last one, can't even remember his name yet. From the 1st grandaunt's side. That, will come. =D
Its been great. Looking forward to 9th march. Uncle ah boon's wedding! Celebrations again! =)
