It's the weekend..yay...can rest for a day. Saturday. I pray everyone gets good rest for the day.
I'm awake watching dvd now. A strange series called Better off Ted that lasted 2 seasons. I'ts not laugh out loud funny. But it keeps you hooked to find out what more is happening in the oddest way..haha..
today i threw a tantrum at work. *hides face*..thinking back I dunno what came over me. Moi angry about the move. Haiz...but i hope i'm ok now. I need somehting to keeel...heh..in the middle of it, i felt angry at myself for feeling that way more than anything,,that I couldn't control myself. Do people actually act this way?..hahaha
Ge poked me along to let it go. She da best lah...if it weren't for her at work today, i would probably have torn down a door! =P
Just as well, our printer gave me reason to wanna kill him! hahaha...fake promises and deliveries lor. This is basic untrustworthiness lor. Teweeeble! Not only that, they had to stay in the office to wait for one of the delvieries at 9pm lor..Humph.
Super tired now. The fact I can't remember much of what happened today...Will go...nite nites!

I think my office has gone nuts. Well, these are mad times.
I officially feel now we have no sense of day or night. So what if it's 8pm? or 9 or 10....and today coz we went out to eat, we hit 11...woohooo...far from the record. But i doubt we'll hit it this time round. I feel it's because of the weather as well.
Been so dry and hot. Thirst is a big thing!
Pray we'll all be in good health.
Today ge went to pack the golf bags in this horrid weather, and i'm sure in a small suffocating storeroom (typcial golf stores)...she survived all sticky and feeling *blah*
eeeps...to think i gave her a hug in the office less than an hour later..eeeeeekkk...ahhahaha
Oh well, so many things happening in the office now, it's like we're all doing our own stuff. Deliveries to the office. One team breifing students and organising the goodie bag packign for the career day. One team settling the golf tourney....then some settling the exhibition opening....some chasing for passes....some researching on new offices....some negotiating on prices...and yes...ONE clearing the office! hahaha...
Today's lunch we tried out this makan place at simei called 18 chefs, doing pasta and baked rice. Nice! sphagetti was cooked well! will go back! =)
Frankly Don't know what i'm doing or why i'm doing things.It's been dead stressful sleep these days and a very hard time waking up. I feel as though a bulldozer has run over me each morning! lol...
Even dinner makes no sense! hahaha...e.g I just ate antoehr full dinner at 1.30am thanks to mum. I was too dazed to even think about whether I should be eating or not. It was just there, so eat, wash up, keep. This is called doing the necessary.
K K...am just tired. Dunno tired about what also.

new Lappies!!
Today I'm officially blogging from my new office laptop. Heh. Just bought it yesterday! My laptop is overdue for a change. I've used it since 2006 leh! It was aFujitsu 6420 that was one of the slimmest and tops in it's class back then, with fingerprint log in too! Cost a whooping $4,500 for a business edition.
Went to parkway with ge to choose the laptop. Bought 2 and ge made enough whines to make the guy rethink his freebies. On top of everything he gave, he did give a surprising $200 discount off the total bill! Not bad leh. I didnt know these guys at such shops could give such discounts. I thought prices were fixed as is one. All he can do is play withe the add ons. =)
Ge's lappie is coming to be almsot 2 years old. Even though not as old as mine, given the *ahem* incredible number of e-mails and docs she hammers out of that laptop, before and after work hours (includind fueling her online vid watching). It has lived a long and fruitful life.
God was good lah.
I think he knew that our comps were going to die since friday. LOL starting with Ge's comp charger dying on thursday night. On friday, my outlook was showing signs of fatigue. (13,340 mails in inbox). Over the weekend, god gave me grace to be able to go out and hunt for the laptops conveniently, leading me to the decent specs one fast. On monday morning, my Outlook could not function. After i typed a mail. i had to wait almost 10 seconds before the 'Send' button would respond.
So yes, Monday afternoon we shopped and bought the lappies. I could get mine first and ge's had to be delivered the next day. And whoever said laptops cannot 'feel', my old faithful decided to give up on me in a drastic way the following day (ie. today.) You see, i still had to use my old comp as the main mails etc are still there and i was still doing the set ups for my new one.The monent i reached the office. Guess what.....my charger died too! OMG.
Thank god one of my collagues is using a laptop of a similar model. I had to sit beside her and swap plugs at intervals.
Considering this is the week before airshow. I've been unable to do much the pst two days because of my lappie predicament. (Frankly I dunno whether to laugh or cry about it.)
But tomorrow i really haev to put my axe to the grind and pick things up where i left off fast. And God i pray for grace to be upon us in the things we do. So many things we are in the mercy of someone else's time line/ confirmation. We can't push as they are the only source....yet...Gotta have faith.
Anyway, thanks for giving us our lappies God, and providing, it's fun...camera function and all. I hope everything will be compatible!!
Another thing happened today. I'm too tired to recap the saga for you. In a single sentence: We've been told to leave our office building by 1 april 2010. *sigh*
I had such a mixture of emotions when i first heard it. Initially I couldn't believe it. Thinking we had only lost our parking. But no we lost our tenancy too.
I had about 2 hours of driving around to digest the info (had to run a couple of errands)...and was feeling frustrated and sad at the same time.it's still sinking in. the shock of the news.
I'm gg to miss our office space. We always got good praise for it. And it was somehow comfortable even though we didn't have many windows and a super noisy aircon. Location was really good too.
i always thought we've leave when we were ready to. you know like part of the Aero park in a nice colonial buidling..hahaha...
Well, now we need to find a good home for ourselves. Yes, it is a home. We spend at least a half of our weeks here, and we tasted goodness and bitterness within the same walls too. A good place where we can build new aspirations and milestones for our org. And i pray that He'll guide us in the right choices and the right place, where he would want us to be. =) That we do pick the place that he has planned for us. =)
Help us not to worry about how it's going to be done. Where the $$ is going to come from to do it. How will we adjust and move. How well are we able to do it. Whether we will like the new place or not, and if all of us are able to adapt fast. Would we still be able to get training classes in. Will we be far from our working partners. Is it a convenient and good place to be. Will we get along with our neighbours. how will we move all our stuff!?!
Hahaha...I hope you'll help us see it thorugh your eyes and not ours. By faith we can believe!
=)
Okies....time to go sleep...carreid away again..see lah.
But thanks God for listening. It's been great.=)

pray pray...
The final week before Airshow week.
So many things to be done. But more importantly, so many things that needs God's favour and grace in all of it. Pray that he'll go before us to fight the battles that we can't.
Pray for protection for our health and mental strength, and that all of us will work well together. That His presence will be with us all the way!
Give us good rest with every minute that we sleep and strong bodies. Healthy stomachs, feet, backs and throats! Let us not be hindered!
In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

joke,,,
Late friday afternoon, boss was in his office having a meeting with 3 staff. It was not the kind I could not interupt. Anyway, there was a reason why I had to interupt, so i stood at the doorway.
Then just before I turned to leave, Boss gave me a knowing look and asked me "So ok with the 8K?"
I wanted to answer -- If I had known what the question was refering to.
I must have had this static look on my face coz one of them burst out laughing.
Then I said:" Boss which 8K? 8K at present mean alot of things to me leh. 8K for a boothlet, 8K is how much we owe xxxx, 8K is the number of publications to reduce to..."
HAHAHAHA...boss was amused too...

*yawns*
Work week 2 of the year has just ended it's first day. Hmmm...Funny, i wonder if it's a good sign to be so aware of it. LOL.
so many bits and pieces happening. Haiz. And just when we thought one was settled, only found out it's partial. *gulp*
I was just showering when i started thinking about prayer and the power of it. It's been so long since I've had these kinds of thoughts move into my conscious. It is a simple act of faith. Anyone can do it.
The best thing about it is that you don't have to put it in so many words or be eloquent in speech. Just have heart. =) Talk to God as you do a friend. A close friend. coz you'll be sincere. i know you rarely hear Him talk back. But jsut take it that he's a good listener k?...hahaha
I always envisioned angels jotting down everything I say and *rolling their eyes* at my silly mistakes or having a "not-again" look..hahaha..pity the angel who gets me when i fall asleep halfway..lol...but they will still do thier duty and bring up the prayers to Him. =) becasue Angels bring up our prayers mah...
ok ok...dont' drift too far..else i'd go no where. I guess say here and there, I just wanna tell god I appreciate his patience with us. =)
Feeling comfy here, just sitting back and wriggling my toes with the cold air blasting in my face. Can tomorrow not come? hahahaha...God give us strength and wisdom coupled with immense favour, please...on all the stuff we can't work on can you please send your angels to work on them and I pray that your grace will cover it all. For everything we touch, that it leads to goodness and in accordnace with your plan. I trust in you that you will protect and stand up for us. Amen!
Ok, the fact I'm rambling prayer on the blog means the brain is 82% gone..hee..
I should gooo...
Oh and ge is back from her tweep with her family. Yipeeedoo..., Ge's back!! heh....though I rather she stay far away as possible from the =S of work..haha...=) I wonder how many times she turned into an icicle in Korea. hahaha..=D

wedneday...
What a tiring day...it's a domino effect the past few days. Usually you can scrap us off the ground on Thurs or Fri.
Thank God things worked out at the end for one of them. And I pray tomorrow in their morning meeting they will trash things out and everything will be in our favour. We will not be in that meeting. But I pray God you'll send an angel to oversee it.
At the end was quite frustrating, but i did laugh at the end after sitting down, just because I resigned to the fact that boss was in that mood. So freakin' irritating for the simple terminology of a 'balloon'..i got fed up and asked what he wanted me to call them? so that henceforth i will use that term jsut to shut him up. But becasue teh otehrs had yet to feel the extent of the irritation, they listened in to his crap...and i figured..jsut let him lah..it doens't matter what i say... though one of them alos got tired of it.
so i jsut sat there and let him waste time. preciosu brainstorming time. Nothing productive or helpful, and he ropes in everyone to the crap. i should'e jsut goen back to my laptop. But I was in teh middle of a discussion.
aiyah...talk abotu it also xian..had enuff..
God..please sjut help us k...thank uuuuuuuu...

Frist work day of 2010
Changed my blog header for the new year to Mr Bump..hee...cute hor, I actually bought my sis a mini backpack (kids one) for her to use when she go swimming! heh...yep, it is exactly egg shaped like this with the hands and legs sticking out. =)
Couldn't resist not getting, coz i knew she'd like it, just a matter of whether she'd use it..hee...she told me at the pool today some kid was telling his mum that he wanted the bag! hahahaha...
He looks terrified! like in the middle of falling down..LOL
It's 12 plus liao, showered and settled down, ended up watching the ending of Kong the movie, which i tweeted about how much i hated the show and pitied the poor monkey..haiz...
oh well! It's a show lah..I know...=)
Today was the first day back to work for the new year...was ok, so much to do with so little time as usual. And still a whole lot more...went for a meeting on the afternoon. Sometimes i'm just too nice, can't stand such people, but I guess they think they have to do such things to get what they want. I'll just be fine with you, but you can forget about getting any future respect from me lor. You do not twist arms in this way and corner people like that. it's an overall small matter, but i guess must bmeet all kinds of people in life right, and learn how to handle them.
Woman is fortunate I have patience and did not blow up. At least i went in prepared. humph...oh ya, and such guilt trips DO NOT work on me,...I never owe anyone one without my willing consent! *fumes*
Anyway, the fumes dissipated long ago...just well. still poofy about it! hee
Came home quite drained coz of the episode. even though it was only 7pm when i got home. Dinner then after that i just took it easy. No work, just a peek at the mails that came in later. Can't kill myself off on the first day...
Footie having a mind of his own as usual. This mornign woke up so stiff...then better in the afternoon...am forcing it to work and support myself proper. strengthening exercises!
Ge and my CGL is in seoul! what a coincidence, Ge there with her sisters and bro-in-law for a holeeday, and anna is there with the church! She going up the prayer mountain neh! And bringing up all our requests!
But hor...considering she so scared of cold, i think the snow storm no gootch for her...lidat wouldn't it be colder up the mountain?!...heh...poor anna...hope the trip will still be fruitful ya...
Okie, time to go be a good girl, gulg my water for footie then go pray...fighting the lazy bone! hahaha...
