The Start of the End, The end of the Start (Life after RX)
Hmm...chim right~~~~~~~hehe ^^
Well it was true, wasnt it? From Last Wed:
The Start of the End (ending RX life | harlow vegetating week)
The End of the Start (ending the start of my vegetating week | byebye freedom)
The Beginning of the another Start (new working life, HARLOW Japan!)
So the workaholic filled up the first day as an ex-RXian by packing 4 appointments on Thursday. hehe! Yep, i fixed all my appointments - friends, agents etc that i was supposed to meet since last year. So i parked myself in Bugis Junction since noon to meet:
Lunch with Jamie @ Bugis Junction, then Kofi @ TCC
Parked myself there....meeting JL @ TCC (yar....) to go through my debits-credits
Still there....i met Maxie at Intercontinental Hotel for coffee and some pastry
Finally moved away from BJ, i met Larry & Jas for dinner and drinks
Phew! See...i dont get depress from not working today...hehe! Friday was more of a rushing schedule. Took Latioghini for the usual servicing and polishing then took a bus to King Albert to buy some groceries to Jan's house. She was on MC for 4 days and had to be bed-rested and so..im playing maria for these 2 days.
Lunch was hilarious. I made Tonjiru soup (yummm!) and Yaki Ramen (fried noodies). It was suppose to be juz soyu taste but it ended up like black pepper pork noodies coz.....i had some mishap with the black pepper shaker. hee! I forgotten that the bottle was a "flipped cover". Instead, i unscrew the cap and shook 2 BIG shakes of pepper into the pan - and yes - as much as 4 TABLESPOON of black pepper dunked into the pan like Ian Thorpe start his swimming comps. So you can imagine, the lunch menu changed instantaneously.
Dinner wasnt too bad either. hehe! I had to give Max's dinner @ Au Petit Salut a miss coz im staying @ Jan's.
Soon, it's Monday and i am already suffering from the absence of my colleagues around me, my daily work etc. So i decided to juz date mom for a beauty afternoon. She went for a spa session while i did my pedi. Gotta look good before i leave for Japan. hehe!
Tomorrow will be my last day at Reed, where i have spent my last 5 years at. The place where i had lots of laughters, tears, endless nights - the place where i have learnt so much, the industry which i truly love and a career path where i know i will definitely succeed.
Moving on is tough, i know it hasnt hit me yet, but i do feel a little sad leaving, for that's the place where i wanted to be ever since in school. I dont think i will ever leave this industry for long. Exhibition is my love, maritime too. Amina said it beautiful - to move on means a new progress. Thanks, beautiful.
Alrighty...apart from the sobby feelings, here comes the BIG headache! I realised over the 5 years, i have made my working cubicle MY HOME! I have loads of stuff there!! From my emergency Heneiken, soft toys, piccies to utensils and bedroom sleepers, i donoe how am i going to finish packing!
Well....finally,im down to juz one more box to packed. I have already packed 3 small DHL boxes.....darn. haha.I realised, no matter how BIG my workstation was, there is never enuff. What i have missed out in there, was a bed. I could LIVE in there!
I threw out majority of the stuff.....that i have been keeping since 2003. hehe.. shame on me for not doing housekeeping. Im like a Reed Archive ok....i have all the show info on my shelves. Ask me Ask me! I have alot of the info the next team will need.
oh well, so..its tomorrow 23 April 08. My last day in the place i love. I will miss all of you peeps - my fantabulous ladies, Xiao Zhang, Ches, the cute fellows from Lucas film (ohhh...i cant see you guys anymore...sob ), and yar..no more squeezing in the endless lift trips from basement to Level 7 coz the Ah Nehs hogged the lifts. I take 2000 years to get to my floor from the carpark. Haiyo. Then again...byebye Nehs.
I miss my clients too. I sent out my farewell emails out to them today and many of them replied me...starting with the words "NO!!!, Noooooooo, Why Why Why, OH NOOOooooo...."
Aiyo....all of you have extreme reaction to my leaving. haha. You guys sound really funny. haha. Yeah, i will miss you peeps - have been fabulous working with you guys and some clients and associates even became inseparable friends. You people will definitely miss my strings of "pls-do this-pls submit that" emails. haha.
Hmmmm....i think it is starting to hit me already......
*breathe*
Oh well, like Helen Keller said "Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing" So, im going to test and push myself to the higher grounds.
TGFI |The Forbidden Kingdom | Ang Mo Fantasizes KungFu
Not an easy Friday for me as I was rushing all my contracts out before next Wednesday..even missed the UNSW meeting . Ah well, TGIF.
Finished whatever meetings and work i had, i met the gang for movie - The Forbidden Kingdom
The content wasnt like brain-wrecking, was rather.....B-grade content.
More of a 'Ang Mo-Fantasize-Chinese-Kung Fu' flick. You know the rest. Don't get me wrong, i like the movie. hahaha~~~ Bel and me were laughing throughout the show coz some content was quite spastic. hehe. But i must say, for all kung-fu movie lovers, this is spectacular - coz you get to see BOTH Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the duel!
Despite all these adrenalin scenes, my precious cousin fell asleep. haizzz. Ah well, you cant blame the pregger - guessed she gets tired REALLY easily. Snaps a finger, and she goes captured by zz-monster. Nowadays, with Jan being preggers, our gang's activity has turned to a really healthy one. We hit home before 1030. Good, you have higher tolerance than Summer. She hits the bed by 10pm. well done.
Talking about the fat princess, she's gotta be back at the vet tomorrow for her annual vaccination and the cartrophen injection for her bad legs. You know..like WD40 to grease rusty-icky wheels.
ZZ-monster is getting me soon....so i'll leave the writing to the trailer of The Forbidden Kingdom.
Though i had done this vote couple of times, but I'm still flickering btwn the sony vaio and the macbook. But i must say that i do like the macbook due to the stable OS and I'm willing to try it coz i am able to get a good price for that. yippie!
So peeps...can you guys vote again? and....i need to know if macbook is able to access govt websites, filing of tax via iras website, do online banking, writing using mandarin and japanese wordprocess etc etc. some of my frens couldnt do online banking and iras tax filing on her mac. hmmm...enlightened me!!!
Summer was limping for the past 2 days. She had always suffered from bad legs and her weight isn't helping. My princess is BIG for her breed. A Maltese x Shitzu (the shitese) is usually an average 5kg. My baby's almost an 8kg ....
Went to the vet yesterday morning, Dr Chionh has moved out of the vet clinic @ Holland V, but nevertheless had to just get Summer checked.
Summer's legs always gave her problems and her sexy weight wasn't helping much to the already-weak legs. This time round, she was limping really badly. She yelps if you raised her right hind leg. Vet deduced that her condition is getting really bad and perhaps a surgery will help.
I asked about the hip replacement - it's very common in Australia and States. But not many vets could do it here and it prolly cost btwn S$5k to S$8k. *ouch*There is a simpler surgery which is to cut a partial of the bone and then let the muscles do the job. This will lessen her pain as well. She couldn't walk fast nor run now. She walks like Tie Kuai Lee, or.....M.S.K. Only diff is...Summer didnt limp out of the toilet.
Anyways, the assistant told me where Dr Chionh has went to, and i will be contacting her soon for the x-ray to be done etc. She has full facilities at her clinic.
It has been a year since Andrew left. A day where the nation gained a hero and we lost our cousin (past blog: click here) Tomorrow, grams and the family is doing a prayer session for him and grandpa, so i will be there as well. (oh yar...now andrew and grandpa are neighbors )
I wonder if anyone brought potato chips tml....drew liked them. hoho.
Grams still missed him lots, sometimes we caught her crying. haiz...what to do. they were so close to each other. And Andrew will nag us to visit grams more often, at least what he said to me sticks to my head like sticky pudding. So i did, over CNY, my parents & I took grams for a short retreat - KL, Malacca, Genting. She laughed alot during the trip, im glad. but...i have to play clown lor. hahaha. That made me realised, i still havent posted the trip's piccies in the blog. oh....soon ...soon.
So, yeah, 1 year had just passed.......
I still kept the newspaper clippings on drew's accident. To look at it just made me sad again.... Those were the times when we worked in Hoshigaoka when we were 15 years old. It was fun. We had fun working together, buying maccers for lunch and sneaking to the kitchen and fool around with the rest of our frens.
), and yar..no more squeezing in the endless lift trips from basement to Level 7 coz the Ah Nehs hogged the lifts. I take 2000 years to get to my floor from the carpark. Haiyo. Then again...byebye Nehs.
