Ah Di's 10th Birthday = 1 day leave!

It's Ah Di's 10th Birthday today!
Took a one day leave together with Dear so that we can bring Ah Di out to celebrate his birthday at the Beach, and also for us to take a break from work.

I guess Ah Di should be quite happy that he got to roam around the beach untethered for such a long period of time this morning, and I spared him the agony of swimming in the sea today since its his big day. He seem to be smiling for the whole day!

Spent the rest of the day eating and shopping together with Dear in town. It really rare to get to walk around in a "deserted" Suntec. We tot it might be a good time for us to try our luck at buying the infamous Donuts the "Donut Factory", but the Q on a weekday afternoon at 4pm is simply unbelievable... Ever since the Donut Factory opened shop, the usual catch-phrase for a Q-ing craze in Singapore will be changed from "Q-ing for Hello Kitty" to "Q-ing for Donuts".

I will not be joining in the "fun"...

On the overall, its a great day spent off-work (helped a lot by switching off my mobile for most of the day)

Will be looking to taking such impromptu breaks everynow and then to recharge!

Repetitive Life

Seems like my life is getting a bit repetitive over the last few weeks.

Weekdays -> super crazy workload and little sleep
Weekend -> catch up with my sleep debts, go out for a short pak tor with dear, nua at home, play bball, back to work...

Been stumbling across quite a number of threads and blogs on travelling this few weeks, really makes me miss the happy times I had when travelling in TW with dear. Miss the refreshing feeling of visiting some new place and eating something unfamiliar.

Guess I really need a break from my monotonous life. I should really start planning for my next trip. Life is so dull without vacation travels..

Dun have much to write about these days (I dun wanna write too much about work-related issues)

Was reading through my old entries, and found the trend of my entries getting shorter and shorter as time goes by. Is this the effect of being too busy with work? Or simply me can't be bothered to write too much?

Things have been moving so quickly for me (especially at work) that I dun have the luxury of slowing down my pace and taking the time to enjoy and sniff at the flowers along my journey.

Some random updates:
-> Been to KBox 3 times in the last 2 weeks. (pls avoid asking me to go again within the next 2 months)
-> Realised that staying in SG and being contactable while on vacation is a BIG NO NO.
-> Finally bought the watch that I have been waiting to buy ever since I started work last year (thanks to the GST hike that forced my hand)
-> Finally managed to snitch a extra 2 hour nap in the evening at home today (usual amount of sleep I get every night nowadays is about 5 hours or less) and I'm so happy about it.

PMS

Dunno whats wrong with me, getting more mood swings these days.

Really no mood to do anything, just want to have a break and breakaway from everything in life.

Tired..

Another weekend passed!

Just went to the Zoo on saturday with dear again, courtesy of the corporate pass from her company. It has been 9 months since we last visited the zoo.

It was pretty nice to see all the cute otters and meerkats again. And this time, the zoo had a new attraction, The Splash show. (dunno if this is the correct name for it)

Featured the "mermaid" (correct name is manatee. I seriously dunno how they got mistaken as beautiful mermaids. To say that is way off is an understatement), the penguins, and the sea lion. Due to the school holiday, the amphitheatre was packed and we have to stand all the way in front. And thanks to the naughty sea lion, everyone just in front of the stage literally got splashing wet.

Good to visit the zoo every now and then, especially when its complimentary.

Really feel like taking a long break from work!

Weekend is over before I know it

OMG, the weekend has passed me by before I know it...

Din really do much this weekend except cleaning up the bedroom and catching a lot of sleep.
Did not even get to play basketball cos there were too many people at the court on Sunday.

What a waste of a perfectly nice weekend to sleep it off just like that... Damned...

Weekend is almost here...

OMG, I'm still working at this hour...
Going to turn into walking zombie soon..

Grandma's Ok now

Grandma got discharged from hospital today. Think I should get everyone to bring her out for a walk or meal if possible. Probably this or next weekend, especially when bro is back, and before he flies off again to Germany.

Done a customer visit today together with my AE, and through my own analogies to the customers, then I unknowingly realised that the demo instrument I was using, was going to get a 1 month holiday in HK!! And I still do not have concrete holiday plans of my own! The instrument has got a better life than I do! Stupid isn't it. Ha ha ha.

Actually I felt a small sense of accomplishment today, that I'm starting to see myself slowly improving my presentation skills in today's visit. Guess I do like the attention that comes when I'm able to capture my audience's focus and click with them. Hopefully I'll get better and better as I grow more and gain more experience.

Just saw the most disgusting thing that can ever happen to my stuff in my room. Why must this happen on Monday?.... I still have to wait through the entire week to get some time during the weekend to clean up the whole room... damned.... dun even feel like sleeping in my room now...

Oh ya, watched Spidey 3 on Sunday with dear. Pretty good show, but it was a bit over-elaborate on the drama and love scenes. I mean come on, guys watch Spidey mainly to see all those web swinging and bish bashing stuff, not too much lovey dovey stuff. I liked the final fight though, a mass fight with plenty of action. Reminds me of the good old video games (dun get to play em anymore...)
