my new start

Going to start work on june 1st.. wish me luck.. yucks.. wahaha.. big company... always been with small company.. this is my first head in job into a big company.. hope I have made a good choice.. oh well...

had dinner with serene and her new gf pearly and the whole bunch of us.. steamboat... serene was late. and gusess wat.. they bump into noel and the Gf.. think they too were gog steamboat.. but she chicken out and went to PP instead.. knowing all of us is here.. so typical

pearly has just got a job.. as a IT trainee.. in Creative.. no need interview.. coz her mum friend is the dept head.. wah.. but she has been brand as the spy so basically no one is really toking to her... tat very good for a start though... but she really nice.. a bit like a joker but can see very young.. very sticky to serene... think much much better than noel... at least she is bot cunning.. wahaha... after steamboat dinner.. we went siglap for pictionary... wahahah... pearly could draw very well.. not bad for a beginner....

when we arrive at siglap.. we had 9 persons with 5 cars.. lynn, me, dot, serene, pris.. drove too siglap.. parking became a problem..... there was lots of car plus ours.. we had to park on double yellow.... then shan and eunice.. came.. with 2 cars.. tat make 7 cars.... we manage to squeeze 7 cars with 6 carparks lots.. I think however want to park for the nite can forget it we were discussing.. .. if everyone came with their own car... me, hedy dot sally lynn shan eunice pris feo lily serene and pearly.. tat 12 cars.. think we have to pile on top each other man.. plus if jess is getting a new car next year.. tat it 13 lucky number... and the strangest things.. we only have black and red cars.... I think we need to look for other place man.. wahaha...

I am.... BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

back from the rustic lombok... was there for 5 days.. first 2 nites stay at novotel lombok.. very nice, clean and full of atmosphere.. the staff was very friendly.. but if you walk out to the streets of lombok you will see a very drastic change.. only street lights is in the hotel itself.. the road where the locals stay is dim with a small bulb.. or candle.. most are farmers and cowherds.. very poor.. they will sell anything to tourists.. from coconuts to sarongs to earn a buck or so..

3rd day day we took transfer to another island.. gili trewangan.. one of the 3 islands away from lombok... stay in this fantastic place call villa ombak.. gives us a better feel.. so rustic.. http://www.hotelvilaombak.com/rooms/index.htm... check out the website.. a very small town.. no cars or motorbikes... only cidemos.. or horse carts.. the whole town is only like one road which stretch abt 1 km I guess... our resort is at the end of the road.. so we just walk out and along the roads are bars, cafes open by australians.. very nice and relaxing... they are built along the beach so when nite falls they look very calm and peaceful...food is cheap 4 pax will cost abt US$20.. includes drinks side dishes and main courses... beer are like US $1 !

overall. me was not very tan.. but burnt due to my white skin.. but love the sun though the relax mood... so ease... having sand all over your feet all the time... it is good to do tat once a while before you return to the high rise and highways of singapore..

feel refreshed before plunging into 9 to 5 work..

getting ready for my NEW JOB next wed.....yucks.. fingers cross.. wahahah

abrupt end and a new beginining

Today is a very gloomy day... in the office.. tear brimming in people eyes.. there is going ot be an general meeting at 3pm. To break the news.. they are confirming closing the office. The whole company.. right down to my boss... guess life like tat man.. sucks big time.... I have actually resigned last month... but still the impact is still painful, all rather a sense of disappointment and helplessness.

I have found another job, starting work in June instead, but I still feel... wat a pity, the people here are so nice, so helpful and family... sigh.. guess I can start work early over there afterall....

Many will suffer the impact.. one of the us is giving birth, another just brought a brand new condo, a car, newborn baby... sigh.. how cruel but yet realistic, we have been merging mags and cutting down pages in the mag, reducing costs, employing contract work. sigh... sometimes life can be drastic, so abrupt...

I feel blessed as I have a job, Know tat God is protecting me and blessing me and my family. I pray tat all my colleagues and friends will be protected and guide along the rocky path.
