It's time..

  • Jul. 31st, 2010 at 9:11 PM

Before I knew it, I am already planning the 4th schedule for the concession team since my transfer.  Work has been hectic but fun, not many can come in and out from the airport immigration area without spending money on an air ticket, sending someone off right to the gatehold room or receiving someone and maybe even shop together at DFS (not tax free for me though),  I can! ;p  Other than extreme patience with a group of retirees, late nites in office alone trying to complete the concession updates,  repeated nonsense from colleagues... I love my job. :)  Keeping my fingers crossed for Oct..

It's also the time to say goodbye to Choa Chu Kang.. the neighbourhood I've been staying the last 13 years, and hello to the northen part of little red dot. Mix feelings when we decided on that area; great convenience for me whether I'm going back Caldecott or heading to the airport. Nearer to my friends for coffee, for mj or even for lala; no more complaints from them why do I have to stay at a place where 'the birds don't even lay an egg' :p  It's also a place which brings back memories, a place where I would hang out with a group of fellow musicians after our weekly affair of music making....  oh well... hell.. I'm going there anyways... 

I seriously need a holiday... yes, I should plan one in October.. and make it happen!!! hmmm... where should I go....

Oh ***, Oh ***, where art thou is ***

  • May. 2nd, 2010 at 3:47 AM

Too much had happened during these period.  The restructure, my long awaited HK trip, an impromptu road trip to KL , the decision to shift to a new place and of coz, my transfer to new BU took place 2 weeks ago.  So much had happened that I began to lose track of time, especially in work.. I am exhausted each time I came home from work, however, insomnia is still the visitor everynite even when I longed for the visit of Zzzz monster .. and the cycle just went on the last 2 weeks.

I am staying positive... let this be just interim.. I miss my beauty sleep, my prince charming in my dreams....

触电了!

  • Mar. 2nd, 2010 at 3:10 PM







世界各地都在遭受天灾的影响, 不是地震,水灾便是海啸。。 不知怎么的这股灾祸竟也吹到了山上来。 属于新媒体部门的我们,可能电脑的电线外漏接触到水而触电了!大家过去三年的努力,就因一句“把亏损降至最低”而付诸东流。我在山上的时间比他们短,都觉得胸口象被刀划过的一阵刺痛;可想而知其他受影响的哥哥姐妹们。。。 虽然我已有先见之明,知道破了的电线若不及时修补,触电是迟早的事; 但也没想到会这么快就短路!

虽然在‘移民登记局’的协助下,我们也不至于变成难民而无家可归, 但总不能像挤鸡笼一样,硬把黑鸡挤进一堆白鸡里吧!咳。。。待会儿约了移民局官员喝咖啡,就听听她会有什么好人家肯收留我吧。。。。

Breathless

  • Feb. 8th, 2010 at 4:32 AM







Another isomniac nite... and I hate it.... it also implies that I have too much running through my mind again.  They are more than what I can handle honestly... sometimes I wish that all will just end here... maybe I'll be better off......
 
No, i know it's not the medication that's causing the illusion.... been keeping it to myself for too long.. can't breathe anymore, I'm kinda tired... can I not be the happy go lucky Karen for once?

Tennis Player (me not)/ Elbow (maybe)....

  • Feb. 2nd, 2010 at 1:23 PM








Was having dinner with Dr Tan yesterday and was telling him about my injured arm. After pointing to him the area that is still causing the pain despite over a week has passed, he highly suspects that it's lateral epicondylitis. I was like 'huh' at first thinking, 'doc, pse spare me the complicated medical term', and the next thing he asked, 'You don't play tennis', do you?" I'm like duh... 'No.. "

Then he put it in a simpler term, that it could be 'Tennis Elbow' and went on explaining how would one get 'an elbow like this' and even said it could take at least 6 months to a year to recover for some people. Oh manz.. I am so so sianz when I heard that.. I really hope he is wrong..
Maybe like what he said, it's because I have not been holding a mic for too long and my arm is missing it.. hahaaaa ya ya.. I may need a mic stand Doc!


I really hope he is wrong but it's that area that is causing the strain and pain on my arm.. :(

Glamour Shots with 超级/星光帮

  • Nov. 8th, 2009 at 10:39 PM







All thanks to Yes933 Hit awards, there was a sudden in flux of foreign stars (mainly from Taiwan) the last few days.  Apart from S.H.E and MAY Day, the rest of the singers are mainly the new arising stars from 超级星光大道 series, including our very own 黄靖伦.   And thanks to them for coming, I get to update my 'infamous collection' again.. :p  Honestly, not because of the young lady in my team, don't think I would go the extent to ask them for a photo; I past the age somehow... hahaaaa ^_^

However, did experience some unhappiness when home grown artiste turned up for an interview at the radio station.  This singer is well known for her super protective mom...  Shall not mention names.  I'm rather surprised that she did not oblige a moment for a photo.  I mean, was it that much to ask for just that few seconds??? I really wondered if she would behave the same if she hasn't gotten her 金曲歌后 title.. The entire team with her appeared to be rather snobbished; thank god I'm not exactly a fan of hers..  

Anyway, guess it was still a fun experience to take pics with the other singers, especially Lala a.k.a 徐佳莹... but she looked rather pale without the make up... and not forgetting 京爷, 张芸京。。winner of  超级偶像 Okay, she really looked less ladylike, but least she was really approachable. Guess this is a good attitude of a newcomer.


Wasn't really ready to post the 'act cute' post... heeeee



Thank god, I came out to throw some rubbish... that I managed to catch 京爷。。



this is the 2nd time we get to take a pic with 梁文音。。
one of my girls said we look like F4 in this pic.... hahahaaa :p

What is good for me....

  • Oct. 16th, 2009 at 1:19 AM








Music has always been a good source in relieving stress for me. No matter how stress and upset I get, a good song would get me back on my feet again. Been listening to a few nice numbers these period of time and most of them are not the A list singers but they do have great vocals...  just like the following...


楊培安&符瓊音-有你有明天



丁噹 - 我愛他

Tale of Two Brains

  • Sep. 22nd, 2009 at 12:43 AM








What exactly happens after marriage?  Yes I am still single, and may not really what are truly the lives of marriage couples. As a bystander, it is certainly giving me lots of doubts and even creeps about two singles in love and decided to embark in the next journey.  Simply too much uncertainties, negative happenings... etc...   Then again, I maybe too sensitive, perhaps too affected by the things happening around me recently... there are still the happy husband & wife around...

Chance upon this interesting video by Mark Gungor, extracted from part of his seminar for 'Laugh your way to a better marriage'.  This particular segment, 'Tale of Two Brains', I believe it's a good reference for both gender whether you are married or not.  I had a good laugh... did you.... :)

BaBeLiCiOuS。。。。。

  • Sep. 14th, 2009 at 9:49 PM







Finally, it was the day of B.A.B's mini makeover photoshoot.  Serene and I wanted a Glamorous look when we first signed up. However, nearer to the date, I told her let's do a Fun & Casual instead, and we din regret.. though we were indeed the most casual duo.. hhahaa

But hey, it's not just about the attire, it's the person.. heee... and we definitely agree on the statement after that nite.. 世上没有丑女人, 只有懒女人。。。。




Don't play play okie... she's one 辣妈。。even the photographer was singing praises for her, complimenting how photogenic she was.  Who is she, she's my long time best pal a.k.a Serene...


 

Shots taken in the dressing room..  love our curls.... am now contemplating if I should add some curls to my current hairdo... %^_^%


Our own impressionistic shots... proudly brought to you by KC photography...



(Almost) a professional model ya....



No, I'm not sleeping.....

Thoughtless................

  • Sep. 6th, 2009 at 2:07 AM

It had been a busy busy august for me. Friends' birthday celebration, friend came back from overseas for vocation, all the gatherings, ktv sessions, dinners etc... too many for me to really note all down.  But most importantly, it was the month of my birthday too.  Really thank all my present and ex staff, my friends for spending the time with me.  I suppose it's the happiest time of the year for me.

Well all good things will come to an end, birthday over, friend left and back to his studies, life has to go back to norm again.  I just hope things would turn for the better at work... keeping my fingers crossed..
