my unusual Japan excursion...

and yesh!!!

am back in Japan once again... Besides HK (don't talk abt Sentosa, Batam, KL hor!), this is the next most-travelled place for me!! hahaha....

I basically have travelled to Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Hokkaido... And now for this trip, I will be going Nikko!!! =)

But first of all... something v new to me... is that I am now staying in an apartment in Ueno... lol... Been to Tokyo many times but this is the first time that I stayed in Ueno area! And this apartment is damn COOL! This is one of the best place that I have ever stayed in Japan leh!

There's free internet access, spacious room, cosy bed, nice pillows and nice surroundings... And basically there's no one to disturb me when I am dead-plunged into my assignment...

And oh yesh! I brought my assignment to Japan to complete cos i couldn't manage to finish it on time... Sigh... it is a v suay thing la.. the story goes:

I booked this trip in early Aug and at that time, I haven't got my class schedule yet. So I was thinking that "不会这么准吧!"。。。 So I agreed to go to Japan with nan-chan and Kermit... And just after I booked this trip... I received my class schedule and DUH!!!!

I have 2 classes of EIBE, a 2-day EIBE intensive seminar, the MM assignment deadline and 1 FMA class during my trip's week!!! And to make matter worse, I just changed a new job and I am in charge of 2 new projects which will take up alot of time!!!

It is really darn suay!!!! Just becos of one trip, I am gonna missed sooooo many classes and have to tahan the stress at work and the stress of completing my assignment on time!!!

And WORSE still, I had to defer my EIBE course (*SOBZ*) as this course requires me to attend the intensive seminar! DAMNSSSS!!!! And i had to ask for MM assignment deadline submission cos I really cannot finish on time!

So, wat can I say.... I have no choice but to defer my EIBE, missed my FMA class, rush my work and bring my MM assignment to Japan to complete...

Hahahaha.... u hear me correct....

I am currently now in Ueno apt, completing my assignment while nan-chan and Kermit are now out to Tsukiji fish market....

This is my first time doing assignment overseas as well! But even so, actually I am enjoying myself... I am feeling quite tired cos I fell sick last week and am in the midst of recovering... Thus, it is ok that I locked myself in the apt and do my assignment while enjoying the quietness and coolness of the place... =)

Wells.... everything happens for some reasons... I hav nvr book a trip in such an advance notice before and this time round had really make me realise that I shld only book trips after I get my class schedule... hahaha...its a lesson learnt lah... =)

But i am glad that i am out here relazing... its my 3rd day here in Japan and I am still about 80% done with my assignment.... hope to finish another 10% before I take a short break in Shinjuku later in the evening... =)

and i hope to go back charged up and ready to go for work!!! =)


Yawns.... hope nan and kermit are enjoying themselves now, soaking in fishes fishes and fishes!!! wahahahaha!!~~~

New job... new place... but everything else is the same leh!

hahaha!~

yessshh....

I survived my first week at work in new company!!! =)

Ok lah, 1st week oni, so cannot complain la... =)

it was quite smooth and colleagues are ok (on surface).... I had a few lunches with colleagues and finally found time to catch up with my gfs, Celeste and Gine! was so glad!!! It has been ages since we met lor... i have been quite lazy too lah... hahaha....

wells... today I am having my intensive seminar on Marketing Management and as usual, I dozed off during the video screening time... yawnz... soooo BORINGGGGG!!!!

and hor, the japanese food court that I'd been there during the last intensive seminar (think called Japanese Mura, or something like dat) had changed!!! Me and Francis went there for lunch and was sooooo disappointed!!! The food SUCKS big time! Even non-fussy ppl like me oso find the food really "cannot make it"....

sigh.... hmmm... must think of wat to eat tmr lor...

Sian... waiting for fren to come fetch me.... and i am playing fb cafe world!!~~ damnz... was hooked onto such games... ytd I was soo sleepy but yet I had to keep myself awake cos my "dishes" in cafe world will be ready in 30min time! It would be a waste if I went to sleep lor... so I had to tahan another 30 min (staring into space) to wait for the dishes to be done!!!

wat a bimbo!!!!


Facebook.... I HATE YOU!

Starting a new job... TOMORROW!!~~

Yes!

After 3.5 yrs, I am finally switching to a new job! hahaha... and somehow I feel a bit uncomfortable cos the job scope wasn't totally what I have done before, although I did know abit about Marcomms.

Anyways, i need to prepare for tmr's work and erm.... sigh... hope all will go well...

I still have MM assignment to chiong and i totally have NO MOOD!!! (*what's new?*)

=p

Ironing Saga

*sobz*



*sobzzzzz*

YES... You seen it....

I made a BIG HOLE on the inner lining of the skirt lor...

*SOBZZZZZ*

Sigh...

Wat else can i say?

What is the moral of the story???

There are just some jobs that I can't do...

1. Maid

2. Housewife

3. Laundry lady boss

More of my sprained toe saga...

It's the 2nd day, and the blue-black gotta spread-ed... from the tip of the toe, the blue-black slowly "moved" down.... see pix... sigh....

Volunteer work...

Went volunteering work today... For three consecutive Saturdays, we will play and interact with kids from MINDS (Intellectually disabled kids), with the main purpose of giving them a chance to interact with ppl and to help to guide them on what is socially accepted behaviours.

This is because, these kids (altho some of them are already 20 years old) are mentally disabled, and most of the times, they do not know what they are doing and they do not know what is right or wrong. For example, there are instances whereby some kids will grab my hand and kiss me, and some of them will just scream and shout and bite their hands or hit their own heads. They cannot control their own behaviours and cannot understand instructions. Thus, we need to tell them what behaviours are right and what are wrong and cannot be done.

For me, the previous session was ok, as I was assigned "High-functioning" kids (meaning: Kids that understand basic instructions and can speak). However, today, I was assigned a "Low-functioning" kid, Li Ren, whereby she cannot speak at all (only know how to make low angry sounds). She also can't hear and has to put on hearing aid, but she always took it off cos she didn't like the hearing aid.

I was trying my best to build a rapport with her but she is constantly spitting all over, including at me (yes, I am now full of salivas, haha), and she likes to take off her shoes and play with water and hit her own head! Most of the times, she does not like to lift up her head and she cannot hear me (cos her hearing aid was off). Sigh... I had to constantly speak loudly and push her head up to look at me so that she can follow what I am doing... Oh by the way, we are supposed to teach them some sign-language and dance. But....

However, I faced tough challenges cos she totally cannot understand and whenever I tilt her head up, she will spit, and WALA, I was full of saliva! lol...

Well, while Li Ren totally cannot understand me at all, there was another boy, Ken who took a liking to me and started grabbing my hand and refused to let me go. He wanted me to stay close to him and pulled me really close. So, in the end, I swapped kids with the volunteer who was taking care of Ken.

So, I ended up with Ken instead for the next one hour and so funny! He became my new bf for the day! lol... I even had to follow him to the toilet! haha.. :) We were basically holding hands throughout the session cos he was really close to me. He was nice and he cannot speak as well, but at least he can make some sounds, that I can roughly understand him.

But then, suddenly he lost his balance and fell onto me and *piak*! I sprained my toe!!!

Although super painful, I know tat he didn't mean it cos he cannot control his behaviour. He is quite good already actually. And well, similarly, I am full of saliva too cos he cannot control is saliva as well. lol... I don mind at all though, in fact, I felt very happy when I see him smile and when he looked at me in the eyes, and shouted "teacher!" "teacher!" and he can say my name! :)

Next session is my last session with the kids and I really hope to see them more often. They really need our care and concern and a few hours with them already made them feel soooo HAPPY! Whenever I ask Ken where's his mummy and daddy, he will shout "office!" "Office!"...

Guess he wanted more ppl to love and play with him bah... :)

Looking forward to the next session!! :)

transition period....

super sianzzz....

sigh... am serving notice now, so although I am still in the office doing work, somehow, my attitude towards those things which I used to be v gan chiong abt, seem to be nowhere near my radar now...

sigh...


and sadly... am not able to get any leave before I start my next job... sigh...

It's just my 5th day at work!

after a long 2 week's MC, i am finally back to work...

And sigh....

1st day - I broke my finger nail... sigh... and being so 爱美, i decided to oni cut that finger nail off... It's such a mistake!!! (See my 2nd day)

2nd day - I nearly dug my right eye out! I was so sotong! sigh... I was doing my make-up and was wiping my eye-brow, and i guess i was quite tired and couldn't coordinate my fingers and my middle-finger actually dug into my eye! Duh!!! DAMN painful lor!!! For once i tot my eye is gonna bleed!! was soooo scared! I scared that i tore my corneal.. but so far, it is ok... heng man!!! I immediately cut off all the nails!

3rd day - I broke my toe nail... sigh... It is also another goondoo moment... I was engross in talking to my staff that my left heel happened to knock into my right big-toe-nail! and cracked it immediately... sigh...

4th day - found one pimple on my forehead... rare leh... I think it is the new eye cream that i bought... sigh...

5th day - My itouch ear-phone spoilt!! i put the "R-side" of the ear-phone on and I hear nothing.. it didn't occur to me that the fault lies with the ear-phone. I tot it was the itouch! I kept fiddling the itouch and feeling v sad.. Then i donno why i put on the L-side and WALAU! It was working!!! DUH!! So it was the ear-phone.... sigh...

Wat a week!!!

And I had to rush budget for Monday's meeting with boss...

And Monday is a Public Holiday lor...


DAMN SIANZZZZZZZ....

reality hurts

after 2 weeks of MC at home, finally i am gng back to work tmr liao...

feeling very depressed and lost and sick.... anyway i know i cannot run away fr reality forever lah... i know this day is coming soon but just din realise that i still feel v sad...

sigh....

i wonder if there's anyone who feels zesty and happy to go back to work every Monday? maybe there are lah... like Volunteers, Church staffs, etc.... or some bimbo jobbies... like NTUC cashier? hahahah...

shld i just change job again? so that i won't feel sian?

cos whenever i change a new job, i believe the 新鲜感 will last for quite some times before i get sick again...

hmmmm.... time to keep a look out!!! :)

wtf...

sigh.... really sibei old liao...

jus 3 glasses of beer during the meeting, and i am like..... super tired and sleepy!!!! so duh!!!!

went home and after bath, hit straight to bed!!! it was barely 11pm oni!!! sigh....

and had such terrible headache throughout the night.... damn!!!~~~

090909

wow... i didn't know it was 9 Sep 2009... wat a nice memorable day!!! And i spent this memorable day with my 2 frennies, Nan and Kermit!

:)

We went for a beauty shopping spree (at DFS of cos!!) and then went for a quiet (but gossipy) dinner.. I hav aching gums and Kermit hav mouth ulcer and Nan have terrible menstrual cramps... so 3 of us have no appetite lor..

Then we went for a wine chat at Que Pasa...

It was a nice quiet evening out...
:)

Painful lesson...

sighz.... the dentist just loveeeee to scare me de lor!!!

he said that if i don't take care of my gums, there is a huge possibility of developing puss inside the wound and that by then, he would have to do another ops to get the puss out! and no matter how he inject anesthetic into the big nerve, i would still feel super duper PAIN!!! he told me that even BIG GUYS will cry when he did the puss-removal ops!!!

DUH!!!

and he ended off by telling me that he did not discover any puss forming YET, but possible liao cos my gums were quite red....



SOOOOOOOOOO SCARRIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!~~~

*sob sob*

It's my own goondoo-ness to start with la... who tell me to take this ops so easily? I really didn't know the implications cos everyone had tooth extraction before mah... all seemed like no big deal de mah... So i didn't really take care..

I still went out for workshops and meeting during my dental MC and I also goondooly ate the wrong dosage of medicine (suppose to eat 2 pills 4 times a day, but i ate 1 pill 3 times a day! And I didn't follow the timing closely... I eat as and when I rem) .... That's why lor....

Sigh....

MC kena extended again till end this week... Another week at home... But this time I am gonna be GOOD GOOD gal liao... not going to go out and will religiously wake up to eat med and gargle salt water regularly...

BOOORRINGGGGG.....



Moral of the story....



DON'T BE ITCHY BACKSIDE ... Only extract wisdom tooth when u really have NO other choices left!!!!

DUH~!!!

si bei PAIN!!~~~

today is the 4th night after my wisdom-tooth ordeal...

and I am STILL in PAIN!!!

*sob sob* (can someone sayang me????)


anyway, have finished my painkillers and i tried eating my mum's painkillers (which she got fr her dentist in MAY 2008... YUP, its more than a yr ago... !!!) but no use...

so i took the normal panadol instead (lagi worse lor!!!!)

anyways, think am gng to dentist there to ask for MORE painkillers!!!!! AM DYING!!!~~~~

Painful ordeal...

once again... I itchy backside lor...

*why i ALWAYS soooo itchy backside???? and why i ALWAYS will regret after itchy-backsided but then will repeat the itchiness again???*


duh...

Anyway...

My itchy backside this time is to go extract wisdom tooth... TWO of them OKAY!!! No joke OKAY!!! But thinking that I am the super iron lady and the super "can-endure-all-pain" chaboh, I decided to go ahead to pluck the teeth, TWO at ONE go!

No big deal mah, I innocently think... and hor, might as well get the two irritating teeth out of the way ... and maybe after the extraction, my face can be smaller hor! MUAHAHAH!!! (WHAT A SILLY BIMBO I am!!~)


anyway, went to extract the teeth... and then...

IT WAS DARN DAMN PAINFUL!!! No words can describe the feeling! I was swearing like nobody businesss lor!!!

TMD! DAMN! KNN! CB! BLOODY SH*T! F*CKING PAIN!


Anyone out there who told me that the pain after ops is manageable, I F*** them!!!

It was F*CKING pain lor... Immediately after the extraction, the pain was like... overwhelming! I can't stop my tears fr flowing out... and i think i scare the taxi driver... hahah...

after the extraction, i can't talk, cos i was biting 2 cotton wool on both side of my mouth, so i can't open my mouth... So i flaged the taxi and wrote the address. then I pointed to my mouth and make some muffled noise... he nodded ok, then started driving... then cos I was in great pain, my tears kept flowing and i kept wiping the tears, machiam like those drama series... whereby usually the gal was ditched by bf and she will get on the cab to go commit suicide.

Hahaha... anyway i saw that the cab driver kept looking at the mirror to see if i was really ok... hahah...

anyway, it was terrible...

now i still feel uncomfy and super sianz... swollen face..

now i know how i look last time when i was obese... hahahah.... hope the swelling can go off soon.. so i can go out to hiao again!... :p

Spa-ing day!!!

Finally handed in my last assignment for the first semester and was feeling a bit surreal.... Anyway, cannot be happy for too long, cos the next semester is just up next week! DUH!!! Why is there no break at all???

Was having a full spa day with Diane today... She told me must learn to dote on oneself... I know i have been very harsh with myself (body and mind) and had been under quite a lot of stress... My hair was DROPPING!!! DUH!! think really too stressed liao lah..

Anyway, we arranged to have a full spa-ing day and it was totally HEAVENS!!!

Went manicure-pedicure during around noon time... Oh before that, must mention that we walked past a shop, called Erabelle, which does all kinds of aesthetic stuffs, like eyebrow embrodiery, lips enhancement, etc... I was quite interested in doing the lip thingie, cos I would not need to apply lipsticks that often!!! MUAHAHAH!!! And i won't have to worried that i might look pale or such, or do not need to immediately touch up after a meal or drinks! SWEET, right? but then, it cost around S$1,700 and it will last only about 2-3 years bah... This is not "lip tattoing", so the lady there assured me that it will be painless... hmmm... Worth considering lah...

Anyway, back to mani-pedi at professional nail at Marina Sq... It was superb! It was quite some time since my last mani-pedi... and was really feeling so princess when my nails was full of glitters!!! SWWEEETTT~~~

(The colour didn't turn out well with my lousy phone-camera lah... but it was supposed to be slightly bluish w pink and glitters... PRINCESS si bo!~~~)


After mani-pedi, we grabbed a drink at starbucks before venturing to our next destination, SPA at Conrad hotel... It was a spa service run by St Gregory's, so the spa should be quite good bah...


And it was REALLY GOOD!!!





We did the "tension relieve" treatment, which include body scrub (peppermint), full massage and scalp massage. And I added on the ear-candling as well... I was totally knocked-out during the ear-candling session, cos it was sooooo relaz and soothing! Guess i was too tired by nights and nights of assignment-rushing and work stress...



After the treatment, i was totally rejuvanated!!! HEAVENS once again!!~~ haha..


Anyway it was quite expensive though... It cost me a total of S$230 (w taxes)... Well, although it was good, but i guess i can't do this often lor... lol...



After the good spa, me and diane was feeling too nuah to go anywhere... Actually we have another appt to do hair spa at Raffles City, but we were too lazy to walk fr Conrad to Raffles City... So we decided to just drop the hair spa thingy and had our light dinner at TCC at millenia walk... It was such a quiet evening... Millenia Walk, as usual, was super quiet and not crowded at all... wonder how those shops survive over there... hmmmmm....


Anyway, after dinner, we decided to just walk around Marina Sq and see if we could walk into a hair salon for jus hair wash/blow... My hair was thinning and was quite oily due to the head/scalp massage just now at the spa... So I was yearning to have a nice wash/blow to end the day perfectly... :)


We walked past John Little and had a mini shopping spree there !!! How i love those korean/japanese beauty products!!! Am such a sucker for cute and sweet-smelling stuffs!!!




Anyway, i chanced upon this serum to treat thinning hair... and apparently this brand seems quite good.. They have a salon at Wheelock place, i think... So i decided to just buy the product first to test... Hope it works...

Well, it was really a nice Saturday out and by the time i reached home, it was near 10pm!!! Hahaha!!!

Wat a nice SPA day!!!

IS assignment... sian...why do i need to know info system??????

damn.... need to hand in IS assignment in 5 days time!

i have barely started and have no idea what to do!!! need to write abt e-commerce, give some recommendations on the network and security issues for the company... so duh!!! I really don't care much abt what is "client/server", "SSL", "wat-ever-other-shit"... etc....

ytd night just managed to send out the framework email to lecturer and hope he reply me asap..

if not i will still have to do it anyway... hope can jus pass lor...


anyway, altho i am rushing assignment (or supposed to rush)... i still must pamper myself wor!!! just went for a good body ginger scrub cum body massage, then a good facial with neck treatment!!! total about 4 hours relaxing at the spa!!! muahahhaha!!!

but then now... its 5plus liao and i have to worry abt not able to complete assignment liao lor... sigh... vicious cycle...
