A turn in life

Hellew all, i decided to post up this random picture, it's a lotus flower and the words below it is in japanese pronounced kouf-ku which means happiness. This was supposed to be my tattoo that i was supposed to get when i went to S'pore last March, but some things happened and i did not go through with it. I will still get it, not so soon but most probably in the future. It has been 15days since my dad has passed, my sis and i went to visit his grave after my interview yesterday. I can tell you, i'm coping really well with it. My heart does not feel heavy now compared to what i felt a few hours before he passed. I have said everything i needed to say before he left. Honestly, i can tell you that i'm not as close to my dad as my other sister is but we did have our moments, aggreements and disagreements. He always gets worried when i decide to drive on my own... heheheheh... Parents will be parents ya. =D I feel that it was his time, at least he is not hurting anymore.And as usual, life has to go on. R.I.P Daddy, we will always love you <3

Updates on what has been happening...I'm actually still on leave and will only be back at work starting Monday. I went to the office yesterday for an internal vacancy interview for another department. I was a bit nervous the day before because have applied for 2 other vacancies before this and i did not get the first one and the other position was being put on hold at the moment. The interview went very well and you know what? An hour or two after the interview, my line manager sms-ed me to tell me that i should call the HR personnel. And yeah, I GOT IT!!!!! I was very surprised and happy because things like this normally take a longer time. So i was surprised that the response was very fast. The reason why i applied for this new job in the first place was because i am tired with my current job and there is no prospects of me moving up the career ladder. This new job will be something new and interesting. I'm also scared at the same time... but it's ok, life is always full of surprises, it all depends on how you take and react to each situation. ;)

I think a very close friend of mine helped me, because she just kept nagging me to apply. I wanted to apply when the advert came out but things happened so quickly that i had to take emergency leave, then the vacancy's deadline was extended and i applied whilst on leave. So yeah, it could be my luck and the help of some close friends of mine. My friend also told me and i quote "Don't disappoint me, make me proud ok". My friend, i WILL make you proud and i will prove myself to everyone. I will make sure that i will give my all and that they won't regret taking me in.... Ahhhhh... I'm in bliss.... New directions and new beginnings. Maybe things are looking my way now. I don't exactly know when i will start this new role, i guess it's most probably after they find a replacement for me. I will make sure that i clear everything i have pending now, even if it means coming to work on Saturdays, i will do it... I won't even claim OT for it... hehhehehe... yes that is how happy and semangat i am now =D I guess this is it for now.. will update soon =D bubyez <33

Updates~~~

Hellew all, it's been nearly a month since my last post... Nothing interesting has been happening... Work as usual is crazy as ever, somedays you just feel like jumping out the window but then when i think about it, is it worth it? oh well, i will get through this. I can't wait till next week because my friends and i are going to have a hen's night for our friend who is getting married at the end of this month... Preparations are going ok, i still have yet to buy some booze, nothing too heavy just some light stuff... It's going to be a fun night... hahahahah... I think this one night of partying will do me some good... i'll update you all after the party... bubyez for now =D

At the brink of insanity!!!

Hellew all, work this week has been really crazy. Crazy sh*t has been happening and work is piling up like there is no tomorrow. I really don't know how i get through things like these, let alone work. I just realize, how the hell was i able to withstand doing everything that i do? i think i need to move out, and get away from those neverending paperwork!!!! All jobs i know have paperwork, but this one, its forever paperwork! Some days i feel like I'm so close to jumping out a window. Anywhoos, forget that... you know what was the craziest thing that happened to me this week? I nearly LOST my purse and my phone!!! And how this happened, i had a rough day at work on Tuesday and then my sis and i decided to eat at Ideal in Gadong, and as we left, i told my sis i carry the drink that we tapau-ed while she carried the food and we walked out and drove home. I only realised it when we were getting out of the car at home!!! And that is like 20mins to 30mins drive from Gadong. My sis panicked, i panicked like hell, because i would have to make a police report, then there are my atm and credit cards, my i.c. and every other important card there is. SH*T!!!! But Thank God, we actually brought home the receipt and we called the restaurant and i was very lucky that both my phone and purse was still there. I don't normally forget my things, but that day everything just seem to go out the window!

On a lighter note, i was "introduced" to a RnB singer, Stevie Hoang. His famous hit Addicted is a really cool one. I just downloaded his album, i have not got the chance to really listen to his songs but judgung from the songs i have heard, he's a good one. He's got several websites, but if you want to listen to what he's got you can click here. For more info and pictures you can try this and here.

I thank God its the weekend!

Book Making Class

Hellew all. Today my sister gave me my birthday gift and it was a book making session where i learned the correct and proper way to make books. It was a very interesting and enjoyable time for me. I would recommend it to people who likes to do arts and craft. A session which is about 3 to 4 hours cost $75, including a book making kit which you get to choose (this kit comes with the papers, cardboards, and all essentials you need for book making basics), all stationaries provided and refreshments. You also learn how to handle a drill as well. So its pretty cool. In the end you not only get a book but you know how to make a book. So here are some pics of the class.

The Dream Book

More books

This is the card of the person who runs the whole bookmaking session. Its a bit blur, yes but if you would like to know more about Rozi and what she does, you can click here. You will schedules of her upcoming classes and also galleries of her already made books and also photo albums for some of her clients. Its a very interesting class and i will tell you that you would not realize that time really flies. i guess that it is for now... Bubyez =D))

Back from Hiatus!

Hellew all!!!! i know i have disappeared for quite a bit, so i shall try to sum up everything that has happened. i won't be posting up much pics because i'm lazy =P. So, food wise, i have been eating a lot. i had a taste at deer meat cooked with spring onion(i think) during Jade's farewell dinner, let's just say it is an acquired taste. It was not my cup of tea and to me it tasted a bit funny. Then there was Korean food at a colleague's fiance shop... at first i hesistated but then i decided to be adventurous. Since it was a new shop and it was my first go at korean food, it was also not my cup of tea... maybe its the food... Fret not ppl, i will try korean food again at a different location in the near future. Then on my Singapore Trip, i had Chilli Crab. Hmmm again, it was ok but a big hassle when you have to dig out the meat. Our host for dinner said that it was very interesting to watch me eat crab... hahahah... yes i'm a bit fussy, i know. Then work wise, am swamped with plenty of work, this happened a few days before i went on my trip... was dumped a HUGGGEEEEE pile... ~sigh~~ i hate documentation! wish i can burn them all. I will be facing work head on tomorrow!

Okie... now a bit of other things, i was "surprised" by my colleagues on my bday with a cake, breakfast for everyone and a Thann spa voucher which i have yet to make use of. Why i said "surprise" was because, i knew it was coming and how did i know? My colleagues hid the cake in the safe where i work and where everyone and myself could see it. hmm~~~ i don't blame them, i think that was the hardest they tried... but not discreet enough though XP. i really did enjoy myself that day because some people on the other floor sang to me. Thanks everyone for the greetings and the singing, i really appreciate it =D)) Then we had dinner with Kak Mai at Swenson's, thanks for the treat Kak Mai!!!! It's banana splits all the way!*wink wink* ;D


Then there was HM's visit to the BPC office. i nearly had the perfect picture because he was looking my way when a tall colleague of mine had to step in front of me! Some days i really hate being short!
Lastly, to end March with a bang was my trip to Singapore, i met a lot of people, some new and some familliar. I really enjoyed myself, although i may have been a bit quiet on some days, to be honest i had good fun. It was good that we met up with our counterparts from the HSBC Singapore, just did some talking, catching up, exchanging life cultures and our lines of work in HSBC. Oh yeah, i also caught the flu and cough from kat when we were there. I enjoyed walking untill my feet are about to fall off and people watching... let's just say, i saw a lot of running ladies... heheheheh =D)) In a nutshell, Singapore, Good times and memories!


That's me eating breakfast at Burger King and trying to look like a tourist! LOL!!!! I guess this is it for now, gotta go and see the doctor! I am thankful that i did not get any asthma attacks whilst on this trip.

Hidden meaning of your name

Hey all, well today was an ok day for me... nothing much going on except that HM is going to be visiting Jerudong Branch and BPC tomorrow!!! Finally, a moment we have all been anticipating. I hope to be getting good close up pics of him. I also can't wait for the National Day holiday on Monday!!! Wooo Hooooo.... long weekend =D)) Oh below is a link i got on Bob's blog and this is what my name means. If you want to check it out click here. i guess this is it for today... bubyez <3

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

You Are Smart and Curious

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
