最近工作上发生了一些小故事。

首先是“夹心人”事件。一片好意，最后似乎演变成擅自做主，不尊重负责人。从而也发现了原来在职场上互相帮忙并不是那么的单纯。替别人着想，但是别人心里想的并不一定就与你想的一样。当然，并不是说以后就“家家自扫门前雪”，只是在帮人之前必须考虑一下会不会重蹈覆辙。

之后就是要呈交的文件资料不足。因为一些突发情况而造成事情必须拖到最后一秒才来赶着完成。又因经验不足，不知该怎么处理，让自己压力了一下。还好在另一个同事的帮忙下，得到了相关资料，最后事情得以解决。发现了其实做事必须要懂得变通，对突发状况或逆境，要泰然处之。不然到最后只会苦了自己。

再来就是昨天早上，突然被总经理aka老板娘叫进去办公室“聊天”。其实我还蛮喜欢与总经理聊天的，因为总是会在聊天的过程中学到很多道理。这也是我很佩服我老板娘的原因之一。她的观察力很强，做事有条不紊，有亲和力但又不失威严，总是能让人信服。她总是说“Be reasonable, practicable and responsible”。而我认为这的确没错。做任何事或决定之前，先想想“这是否有理？是否行得通？而做了这样的决定，是否有能力负责以及承担后果？” 如果觉得能，就去做。如果不肯定，就先请示，之后再进行。还有就是对事情要抱着开放的态度，要能接受批评以及承认错误。这样才能从中学习，吸取教训。

接着就是今天临时召开的会议。提出的几个议程让整个会议的气氛顿时变得凝重。虽说是对事不对人，但是我觉得多多少少总会在心里留下一点点的疙瘩。当然站在不同人的立场，这是能理解的。当中，“夹心人”事件又被重提了。也让我发现了职场上说话要小心，一个不留神也许没有错的你，就会变成错在于你了。人心难测~ 防人之心不可无。但是整天这样地防来防去，很辛苦啊~

觉得说每个人的处事方式不同，明白个中道理以及站在对方的角度想，对一件事情的处理会有更多的谅解与包容，也就更容易地接受。但别人是否也和你有着同样的想法呢？

Glad that my colleagues are helpful.

Felt so tense when I found that I have no sufficient information to submit today where this morning is the deadline to submit the documents.

The colleague whom I have to report to on this submission was on MC. Then she did not 交代 anything regarding this. She only told me to hold on the submission till we got the renewed documents. So I had to be on my own. Actually this submission is not difficult if I have all the information that I need. However things are not always go as the way we want it to be.

Till this morning, the documents were still incomplete. Never met with this, I was somehow at a lost and start to worry that I will delay others' work if I did not submit it on time. Luckily, eventually found a way to deal with it. Nevertheless this has to be followed up as I still haven't got the hard copy of the document and I have to have it as soon as possible.Hope that the colleague of mine will be back to work tomorrow as I still have something to clarify with her, else it will be a bit hard for me to follow up.

Lesson learnt from this is there's a lot of unexpected things around us, shall learn to take things as it would be. A friend said,"That's life." Everything that happened is an experience. There's a lot of things that we won't really know until we have met with it. And will realize that there's actually a lot to be learnt in our life.

原来有所期待，心情真的会不一样。
它不一定要是很重大的事，它可以是一件简简单单的小事。
又或者可以说可能我带了对的mood，所以感觉不同，看事情的角度也随着不同~
真是奇怪~~ XD

用了接近整个下午打扫laptop。好久好久没有为laptop打扫了。键盘的缝隙满是灰尘，而且电脑的外壳也变得‘黑黑’的，表面很粗糙，电脑屏幕也有些脏。平时只是一直地用，我想应该定时为laptop清理清理一下。看到电脑变得干净一点，感觉不错叻！哈~

为电脑做完“facial”之后，就是与SK“约会”的时候。哈~

来到了Jurong Point。星期日傍晚的Jurong Point人潮还算可以，不会太拥挤。在Pepper Lunch享用了晚餐，我们边吃也边聊了很多。吃饱后，就是走动走动消化一下的时候。SK想买些上班的服装。走进了其中一间服装店（不好意思，忘了店名）。那儿的销售员真是会说话，而且也很会介绍衣服，所介绍的都蛮合身，穿起来都很好看。这让我想起了在AMK Hub的Ella服装店，同样的也遇到了很会介绍衣服的销售员。SK买了一件dress，而我是看中了另一件dress但是没买。

上星期五为PJ庆祝了belated birthday。本想在当天约PJ出来庆祝的，谁知主角生日当天没空，所以就迟了一个星期才庆祝。这是我们自从毕业后第一次的meet up。算来我们接近半年没见面了。我们似乎有聊不完的话题，竟然从八点多聊到接近十一点。XD

说了这么多，是看照片的时候啦~

The birthday gal~

-with the birthday gal-

-Three of us-
Outing with SK at Jurong Point

Do we have sisterly look? Lol~

*Went to celebrate Regina's birthday at Clementi City Vibes last Tuesday too. Another outing last week. Long time never meet with my NUS '38' gang. Photos to be uploaded~ * =D

突然变成了“夹心人”。
一边要你帮忙打电话确定说东西订了吗；一边却说这是他的工作范围，任何的询问都必须通过他，不能私自处理，因为程序是这样的。
一时间气氛变得有点尴尬。
觉得人际关系是个难懂的课题。
每间公司都有不同的文化。
每个人对事情都有不同的处理方式。
每个人的想法都有所不同。
有时真的觉得“啊，人难做哦~”。

-(~.~)-

Moody.
Find it hard to concentrate.
Need motivation and passion.
Sometimes wondering am I demand too much from myself.
Or I still lack of self-confidence.
Since when I had became like this.
I don't want to always grumble on all these unhappy feeling.
I want to be carefree and happy.

寻找生活天秤的平衡中
需要毅力
也需要动力
或许更需要一点点的洒脱
在过程中
做出些些的牺牲
是必要的
但是否能拥有如此的决心
这又另当别论

很多事情
重点并不在于完成后的结果
很多时候
是过程
还有与你一起完成的人

Finally I got to eat Kuishin bo buffet dinner yesterday~ Lol... A very very full and sumptuous dinner... Being tempted by the unlimited supply of salmon sashimi, I had been saying that I wanna go for the buffet since quite some time before... Besides the salmon sashimi, the chocolate fondue is great too... I like the taste of marshmallow immensed with chocolate~

Bought a jigsaw puzzle too. As it is only 300 pieces, so I had finished done it this afternoon. Suddenly had an urge on buying another one... It feels great when doing jigsaw puzzle, especially at the moment you completed it. Actually I saw another one which is nicer than the one I bought (couldn't find the picture, thus no photo to show here), 1000 pieces I think, but it's very expensive le... Need to consider a bit...

Angel Brought Me Here by Guy Sebastian -- Came across this song when I browsed my music library. And I think it's nice. Here's the clip. Hope you enjoy!


Angel Brought Me Here - Guy Sebastian

Recently I'm in the mood on watching drama~ Have been watching "Battlestar Galactica". A very very nice sci-fi drama. Currently I had watched till Season 2 Episode 3. More to come~ Lol... After I had finished last episode of Season 1, I had a lot of question marks in my mind...haha~ But I think the answer will gradually reveal in the coming episodes.

The storyline is very 紧凑 and 引人入胜, especially in Season 2. I was attracted by it throughout the whole episode and couldn't bring myself from stop watching. However, as I need to have an early night, I have to restrict myself.

The story is about a group of survivors who had left their planet "Caprica" which had been occupied by some machined robots called "Cylon" for the searching of the "Earth". On their way of searching, a lot of things had happened. Conflits between the crews and the people, some human-imitation cylon agents evaded among the group, fights between the crews on the spaceship named "Galactica" and the cylons, etc...

Besides this drama, I'm reading "The Codex" by Douglas Preston. The story seems quite interesting and adventurous. It's regarding the sons of a tomb robber try ways and means to get the inheritance from their father and there's a secret codex which they have to solve it in order to obtain the inheritance. I believe this will be another nice book. Haha~

K la, it's late now. Shall sign off and go to meet Mr Zhou~ Lol... =D

日复一日，又是周末来临的时刻~ 又到了小休片刻，让心情沉淀的时候。。

感叹时间总在不知不觉中溜走，一转眼又过了一个星期。。

大部分的时间都是花在工作上。忙了几个星期，也终于把手上的工作解决了。想说终于有时间让脑子休息一下，不需要时时处在紧绷的状态下。。但是，闲下来的时候却又不知该怎样‘打发’时间。。这时候反而会觉得有工作忙的时候，更觉得充实。。有时就是那么的奇怪，忙的时候想休息偷懒一下；闲的时候却希望有工作可以忙。

想放个假。想去旅行。到自己没去过的地方走走看看。其实我还真的很多地方都没到过。。没乘搭过飞机，没出过国，就连自己的国家马来西亚，我也有很多地方都没去过。。觉得应该开拓自己的视野，不让年轻留白~

刚练完钢琴。依然不能无误地弹奏所学的歌曲，还需要时间磨练。真希望每一天都能弹一会儿琴。一星期一小时的练习时间，随着所学习的曲目增加，显然并不足够。

突然很想听九十年代一些歌手的歌。。比如说：裘海正、苏慧伦等等。。还有很多很多。。而且很多是对歌曲有印象，但不知道演唱者是谁的。。哈哈~觉得以前的歌曲反而更耐听，经得起时间的考验，到现在依然能琅琅上口。。。

好啦，这次就写到这里。。下回再续~ =D

Sunday -- Start of another week~ Another routine week...

Told myself that I have to adapt to the typical working life. But deep inside my heart still felt so hard to let go of the carefree student life. Knowing that eventually I have to let it go one day, else I would always have this kind of feeling whenever I think of I need to travel back to Singapore to work. It takes time and first thing I need to do is change my mindset~ And I'm trying~~

Felt so weird that this kind of reluctant feeling is not that strong when I'm in my Undergraduate school time~ What causes this to become stronger after I graduated and started working? It's still the same route from Singapore to Kota Tinggi and Kota Tinggi to Singapore. Or this might be another mood swing effect of mine? = ="

Anyway, I shall still have a happy-go-lucky life...and do not worry or think too much~ Suddenly felt that this is quite meaningful: "Determination and Simplicity"...can be applied in many ways~~

Signing off...preparing to back to Singapore~

今天是农历正月十五元宵节。然而随着元宵节的到来，农历新年就这样过了。必须收拾心情，继续面对生活上的种种。

要继续努力加油，坚持信念。

祝大家 “元宵节快乐” ~

Back to KT on Friday after work. The traffic was quite smooth. Still in the New Year holiday mood. Looking forward the Reunion Dinner with my Primary and Secondary school gang.

Saturday afternoon, went to Yin's house. Then it's time to get prepared to go for our KT BFF Reunion Dinner. This was the 2nd time we had this dinner. It's started last year. And hopefully can carry on every year, as this is a rare chance for most of us to gather and update each other.

Last Tue I saw a group of uncles and aunties having annual dinner at Bottle Tree Park. And this triggers me to wonder that what would it be, if we can still gather like this every year and had this reunion dinner, even when we were in the middle-aged group? Lol~

As usual, we won't miss the opportunity to take photos~~ XD

Here's the group photo of everyone during the Reunion Dinner


The Gals and The Guys


--KT Best Friends Forever--

哈哈，左盼右盼，农历新年终于来了！其实今年还蛮期待这个农历新年的。或许是向往着农历新年的假期吧~回想过年前的那个星期五，也就是收工的那一天，心情特别地好。回到哥打丁宜的家，过年的感觉更是浓烈。今年还参与了家中年饼的制作，还蛮乐在其中，发现其实制作糕点饼干还真不简单。

再来便是准备迎接牛年的到来。吃过团圆饭，看着电视节目，一直到午夜十二点倒数。终于送走了鼠年，迎来了全新的牛年~

初一早上起床，心情愉快。之后便接到朋友的短讯，说下午一起出来拜年。而我当然是一口答应，然后就是准备出门了。今年我们大伙儿的第一站是大哥打花园。去了Jackie的家，他的宝宝好可爱，但是很喜欢皱眉头，哈~ 同时我们也到了几个朋友的家去拜年。晚上则是到CK的家去。

Jackie 可爱的宝宝

延续着初一的拜年活动，初二则是到住在街上的朋友家拜年。当然除了聊天吃东西，我们每一年新年的‘常年活动’是少不了的。看着朋友在玩，我的手也不知不觉地‘痒’了，也玩了一下。不过呢，我似乎没有什么运气。。。XD 晚上我们则把‘阵地’转到了Jiang的家，就这样一直玩到深夜。

-With WT
-With YT

-被偷拍 :P
-“来，看这里~”

初三我们到了阿Pui的家拜年。但是人似乎比初一和初二冷清了许多。原因是有好些朋友都回吉隆坡或新加坡了。而我晚上也必须回新加坡，准备初四早上开工。去了阿Pui家后，我们的下一站就是Jim的家。在那里，我们除了玩“二十一点”，同时还玩“牛”。一个奇怪的名称，但是还蛮好玩的。

一连串的拜年活动随着我必须回新加坡开工，就这样结束了。不过，却只是暂时而已。两天后便是周末，又可以回家了。。。（待续）

As usual, another week past without realizing.

Nothing much had been done for this week. Most of the time was spent on work. Getting busier on work, but still manageable. As always the feeling of wishing a short getaway still remains there. Lol~

Went to walk around at Takashimaya, thinking to utilize the voucher on clothes and shoes for CNY, but saw nothing to my liking. Instead, maybe I can consider to use the voucher next time on the sports wear there. Hah~

Going Grade 1 for the piano course. The songs that are going to be played are so different from the beginner's course. But sure are much nicer than that of Beginner's course. Must perfect my skills on piano playing. That's one of my goals in Year 2009~ =D But 物欲擅其事，必先利其器，shall plan to buy a piano, a digital piano or a keyboard for practising~

One week to Chinese New Year~ Yay!!! Holidays again~ Lol... Getting 'lazier' after started working, keep thinking on holidays~ - -" Hah~ Helped mum on making some cookies for CNY. Developed an interest in making cookies, maybe can try to search for more receipes. Hehe~ Still remember that during upper secondary school time, I spent the afternoon time quite often at Ying's house, making cookies, cakes or desserts together.

CNY is coming. A time for a reunion gathering, be it family or friends.

Happy Chinese New Year in advanced~

It is a rare chance for me to have a gathering with my 大舅 and my maternal cousins in Singapore. It's been quite a long time I never meet with 大舅 since I last joined the gathering at Cameron Highlands in year 2006.

My 大舅 came to Singapore from Penang yesterday to visit his son WH who had a training in Singapore. And so my cousins grab this opportunity to have a gathering for all of us to catch up with each other and to meet with 大舅. My parents came from KT to join in this gathering too.

We met with 大舅 at my cousin Kiat's house and went to One Degree 15 Marina Club at Sentosa. There's an event there -- Volvo Ocean Race Singapore Stopover 2008-09. Saw a lot of ships and learnt the mechanism for a ship to anchor at that place from WH.(Erm, wonder am I using the correct English word here, lol~)

After that, we went for dinner at Clementi. Had a XO Fish Slices Bee Hoon. It's nice and the fish slices tasted good. Had some chat with each other and after that we headed home respectively.

There's still event going on tomorrow morning. Too bad I can't join for that. However I believe that there's always a chance for us to gather together. Looking forward the next gathering for us. And I think my mum will have the same sentiment with me too. This is a great chance for us to be closer with each other.

Had a good time tonight. My nephews and niece are cute!! =D

Taken after dinner. The table was a bit messy~ XD

My Nephews and Niece =D

突然很想回家。

或许说想离开这里，应该会比较贴切。

想放假。

想无忧无虑没烦恼，没压力。

哈哈，离农历新年还有三个星期，迫不及待期待过年！！

没什么特别的理由，就是期待！尤其是听了AK send的过年歌，歌曲里的热闹、活泼、快乐的气氛更是感染了我~ 哈哈。。。

现在正是打扫屋子、办年货、买新衣新鞋的时候。。。

过年、过年。。。（期待中~） XD

转眼一年即将过去。

身分从做了十几年的“学生”，转换成今天的“上班一族”。

从毕业，找工作，一直到找到了现在的工作的这段时期，看到了很多，也学到了很多。一连串的面试，曾经烦过，担心过，而这些现已成为了宝贵的经验。

目前这份工作仍有很多东西等着我去发掘，同时也提供了空间让我这个‘社会新鲜人’慢慢地去学习，探索很多课本上学不到的知识。看到了职场上的不同，人与人之间的关系，是一门很深的学问。

2008是让人留念的一年。农历年朋友的‘团圆’晚餐、亲手为朋友制作生日礼物、朋友到哥打丁宜疯狂的一日游、热浪岛三天两夜的旅行、怡保之行通宵聊天。。。拿到第一个A+、毕业典礼。。。开始踏入社会工作。。。到终于如愿开始钢琴课程。。。

其实还有很多很多。。。

总之，2008是个不同的一年。

同时也是一个转折点。

而2009则是延续努力，以达致目标的开始。。。

要继续加油~~

新年快乐！！！ Happy New Year~ =D

生活不该墨守成规
应当适时地挑战自己
让自己能接触不同的东西
不断地学习

在努力的当儿
也不能忘了休息
让忙碌的自己放轻松
舒解紧张的神经

不能一味把所有的责任都往自己身上扛
最终只会累了自己
分担分享
听取他人意见
再进行分析

这是最近我从工作上领会到的。前方仍然有着很多很多的期待，也有着很多很多的不定数。向前看，让自己不断地进步。。。

Yesterday was Christmas holiday~ And yeah, don't need to work~~ Lol~

Went to De Coder's board game cafe... But most of the time are wasted on game searching and also trying to figure out the game rules... Nonetheless, the outing is still fun~ Like the game called "Hali Gali"... Hehe... An easy yet exciting game~ Another game is "Bang"... It get thrilled when someone play the "Dynamite" card which means a 计时炸弹 to be passed down to every player by turn and will 'explode' when some condition is fulfilled...

And of course we won't forget to take photos while enjoying the games~

-A group photo of us-
