Spend my weekends slacking at home. Super humid and dry weather these days...read the papers that Asia is experiencing climate changes. China has drought and the Himalayans are facing floods. Global warming or a ailing mother nature? Is it gonna be the end of the world soon, if that's so I will have mixed feelings.. feelings of happiness and sadness. Sounds rather psycho yea? Hot weather is making me restless and mad.

More than half of the company's population was down with flu and cough. There's this really smelly water sample that smell like a mix of rubbish dump and manure. One of the female worker was put in charged of the water sample testing. And guess wad, she had a real bad case of runny and blocked nose. When I'm thinking that she can't smell the odour of the sample, she ransacked all the drawers in the lab for => face mask.

When I had just recovered from a sore throat, another bout of sore throat attacked me again. Thanks to all the contagious air-borne flu virus. This whole thing is plain sick la, taking sore throat, cough and flu being my greatest nightmare.

Was being told by Boss to teach a lab tech on the basic water testing. Drank 2.5 Litres of water each day cuz my throat felt super dry after talking a whole day. Had some language barrier with him and that fellow kept bugging me. Trying to test my patience ah? I have little patience and now I have made up my mind that teaching adults is the last thing I ever wanna do. I realised I am not good at teaching either. Teaching cute little pre-school kids is alright but not teens or adults who are impatient and way too TOO curious. loLz

Met up with clasmates to celebrate KW birthday on friday evening. We ate at Soup Restuarant and the food was not bad. I can't get enough of Crysanthemun (dunno how to spell) Tea and the boiled soup. The sea cucumbers were my favourite too.

The weather is extremely good this whole weekend. With the occasional cool breeze and showers of rain. Superb weather to just nuah and slack. Dunno what most people prefer to do on such weather but there are some which I enjoy and yearn for..

1. Cuddling my blanket and listening to the raindrops splashing on the window

2. Looking far out of the stained windows and enjoy the sea scenes at the distant

3. Hugging my sister and sleeping together on the same bed

4. Enjoying a nice breakfast, sipping a warm cup of tea and reading the newspaper's LIFE section

5. Lay on the couch and watch my favourite Korea or Jap Drama

6. Pizza order

I had done most of them when I was young and certain nostalgia came back to me. Some seems most unlikely to achieve and I took those for granted when I was still young. Our life revolves around work, studies, freinds, etc. But to think about it, have we ever sit back, relax and marvel at the wonders of nature..to immerse in simplicity and joys of nature? lOlz..sounds rather abstract and even no-link but of wadeva reasons these are just my childhood memories.

A group of TP students came to the company for IA too. Mostly are guys and they are of the same course as me and Jasper. TP guys are not bad though..spiky and styled hair, reasonable outfits and the bags they carry look kinda weird but unique. There's one Peranakan guy who has this Chinese cum Malay cum Eurasian face. Overall, he is rather friendly. haHa. I am not obsess over them cuz anyway I am not their cup of tea. They are seeking real Chio Bu and I am juz a normal plain Jane and girl-next door. Next week, another batch of new student will arrive and my lab will be packed with students and guess wat..I can't breathe cuz it's too stuffy and "saturate" with carbon dioxide. Just imagine a school of fish swimming in one small tank.. I will be the first fish to float up. I am lost and worry..worry for several reasons. Gotta adapt again and I will survive..I am a survivor..just like Beyonce's song (Survivor).

I heard of Mary J. Blige's Song (No More Drama). Realli hate those bad soap dramas in my life. I thought I was a victim of such events but I believe my parents are the greatest victims. So tired and frustrated of such drama, I don't mind nice drama in my life but life is never a sweet bed of roses. You gotta grow up and be stonger through those ferocious waves that churned out in life. Everyone shares their stories of bitter and sweet life..and mine is just a minor case. muaHaha..

I went out with SQ and JX during the weekends. Can't imagine walking around Orchard and Suntec just to get some disposable stuffs..SQ, very funni ah? I think I crap too much about JX's coming birthday this year. Whole load of stuffs like organising a Lion Dance Ceremony starring me, SQ and ahem..JX's favourites. JX didn't like sour tomato stuff, so muz apologise to her for ordering some sour chicken pasta for her cuz I didn't know it. Next time I won't order liaoz. Haha. Although we were almost half dead by the end of the day but we managed to get our targeted stuffs. So guess there's no regrets after all. Something for me to note when going for full day delirious shopping => wear comfortable footwear, bring lotsa plaster, a bottle of water and a wheelchair if needed in emergency.

I saw a nice florist shop around Lavender Street area last week..

And saw a poster at the Buddhist Centre..

" We must face the facts and accept what that might be coming to us"

Nothing much to write so I just drew some pictures.

How nice it would be if there's at least one public holiday each month. For the month of May, I had 2 PH, tat's super nice cuz I can make use of these PH to catch up with frens and colleague's mood always seem to be better during the eve of such occassion. But sadly, after May there's no PH until my IA finishes. GSS juz started but I feel so "mentally poor". Hmm..besides spending quite alot on frens' presents, I had ultimately no wadeva mood to go for any shopping spree. And shopping being my favourite pastime, I seriously dun feel like buying wat-so-eva now even when designer or branded labels are offering like 70-80% off.

Sometimes at the end of the day, I will be on the bus thinking what I'm lacking now. I don't feel happy and I'm juz unable to solve this happiness puzzle. I mean I'm a complete person with a great family (although parents had those arguments sometimes), nice frens, nice home and I dun have to worry about a lot of financial woes (like water and electricity bills, income taxes, house loans, credit card bills etc) for the time being. Of cuz, after I enter working life I have the responsiblity to support my parents and myself. To climb up the social ladder is a crazy rat race and to juggle both work and family is another physical and mental challenge. Perhaps is due to the fact that I'm turning 20 real soon in like a couples of years or that my parents' white hair are multiplying oOps exponentially I gueSs..which puts me in a position to think real hard of my future plans and what career path I should lead.

Mayb like wad a buddy told me...my unhappiness of my experience in IA and me seeing other workers working 14 hrs each day as unbelievable..are cuz that I'm still young and haven't had enuff fun yet so I see such stuffs as a torture and no-life.

I went out on the eve of Vesak Day and somehow I was so eager to c Joey. Lolz..She treated me to Swensen, wow had being a long time since I ate western food. She insisted on eating ice-cream with me even when she's nursing a bad cough. T_T In the end I feel so guitly that I acc her to buy some herbal medicine. Seriously the day ended so short la and soon we had to go home. But we still enjoyed a great crapping session in her hubby's Mazda. Real cool car lo with great horsepower and speed. RaWks to e max!

Two of the Three Flowers left the company recently. I expected some drama mama and drama papa on that day but the day juz ended normally. Lotsa presents and tidbits are still lying ard the lab. Haha. That day after work, I bidded farewell to the head officer and asst officer of Three Flowers. My heart was warmed when the asst officer said a simple yet sweet "Take Care" to me. I nodded and said yes like an innocent sch kid before making my exit.

Over the weekends, chatted wif classmates at Vivo. Actually suppose to watch Song of the Sea at Sentosa but fully booked liaoz so had no choice. Had a great bonding session and ate Pasta Mania for dinner with all of them. waHaha
