Walking Slower

The pace of life seems to have slowed down a bit, finished a couple of important things on hand at work. Though there are more to go, I can afford to wait for a while more.

Fri - went on a Sheshido workshop with YS, they teach you how to put on make-up step by step. Coolz..i should sign up for more of such courses later. It was the first time I step out of office at 5.45pm (on a Fri) at my new dept. I realised that I'm getting more pimples/small red dots on my face due to the stress I've faced for the past few weeks. Life has been really busy for me at least for the past 1.5 months. I'm glad I can walk slower now. Anyway, the conclusion i draw is always to keep my face looking good and free from pimples. I should learn to take stress better, manage them, and keep my face looking good. No point ruining my face, coz at the end, no one will pity me.

Sat- class as usual. After class, had the chance to makan and shop with one of my classmates. We talked about a lot - our travel plans after GZ..realised that both of us wanna see something scenic - so maybe JiuZaiGou, ZhangJiaJie or even Tibet! She was saying I had the "shopping look" and was very surprised that I wanted to go to scenic places. I guess i really need a break, and be in touch with nature. True, shopping is good retail therapy. Told her we could shop and cover GZ, HK and Macau during our school term. Glad to find someone who share similar interests. =) Then we ventured on the topic of relationships - both of us are not seeing anyone. Talked about how time flies, how our expectations have been dropping by the day...how pple marry for the sake of marry...the usual girl talk...Reminds me of the previous conversations I had with a bunch of female colleagues - we all agreed that girls should always be independent, regardless of whether you are single, seeing someone, married, or married and with kids. We need to make ourselves look good and desirable constantly, and be financially indept. Totally agree with that!

Sun - Michelle is finally here! Will be bringing her ard Singapore for the next few days. My little break off work. =) And must treat her to good food, as she's so kind to me when I'm in Hong Kong. Hope she likes Singapore. =)

Random Stuff

Work: First week of work is ok, colleagues are friendly, but I'm still lagging behind in work. Attended 3 meetings already, and I only completed one set of minutes. More work pouring in, but I think it's good. Rather be busy than slacking there.

Kick-boxing: Rushed to my Thu KB lesson, and got a chance to speak with the instructor, while waiting for the yoga class in the studio to end. I was so appalled to find out that she's actually 35 years old. She looks like she's in her mid-20s to me! The wonders of exercise..can really keep a person looking young. Better start from now. Unbelievable. She said she used to have an office work, but very onz about aerobics, boxing, so she always knock off at 6pm and rush to the gyms for these lessons. She used to take 3 lessons back to back! (A bit siao onz). Then she hanged out with the instructors at the gym and they recommended her to get certified as an instructor, which is what she did, as she's passionate about it. But wow, must exercise more to stay young!!

Friday: Knocked off work at about 7pm, and went with a few colleagues to 211 cafe at Holland V. There was a UOB promotions, and you get a one for one pasta/pizza. The food is quite delicious. Ever wondered why 211 cafe is known as such? We were guessing why too. Eventually when the bill came, we asked the waiter why. He replied that the cafe is situated at block 211, but that's not the main reason. The other significant reason was coz their chinese boss, Mr Lim, has got 2 sons and 11 daughters!! Wow...After dinner, got a ride home and went to bed asap coz gotta wake up really early on Sat for my Family Day.

Busy Sat: Cant image i woke up at 6.30am just to reach Suntec at 8am to prepare for the Family Day. It went well, and pple started arriving as early as 8pm too..siao! I was very impressed by this young magician called Jeremy Pei. He started learning magic from his Dad as young as 5 years old, and he's only about 23/4 now. He has got a long way to go man..and he looks quite cute too, although a little plump. Harry Potter movie was only ok, perhaps about 3 stars. After that, rushed off to NTU for my Orientation. This year, we had about 17 students, and only 3 guys! Most of my classmates are teachers, but almost all were very keen on the Guangzhou practicum, and kept asking questions on it. To me, I'm really looking fwd to it, as a break off from work, and Singaporean life. I think it'd be very enriching as well. Perhaps I can do some part-time jobs there too and try to max my trip.

Will be in Guangzhou from Nov - Dec. Anybody wanna come look for me? Will most likely be living in a "hotel" single room. Can come bunk in with me for free accomodation if you wanna travel Guangzhou. =)

Sun: It's really cooling now, as it was raining. Nice weather to sleep.. =) but i think i gotta start catching up on my work soon coz tmr will be Mon! Tataz for now.. =)
