Sample Invitation cards

Just completed with three samples of my hand made invitation cards. The pictures are not very well taken by my handphone. It is actually green in colour.

(a) Bufferfly sleeve and card. Have not done up the gift tag yet which i do not think it is necessary.

(b)

(c) Pocket sleeve, card. Have not done up the gift tag but it think it is necessary cos it looks quite plain.

Still need improvement to the samples. The white paper is too soft, would require a thicker ones with some simple design background. As for the cover, it is too soft also. Require to look for a thicker paper cos it is actually an art soft piece of paper.

Which is better? Personally I like the first ones...Oh ya, I seriously dun know how to tie a ribbon and had spent alots of time to get it done. Many sweats..

Dropped dead

Manjong session again today..I had defeated three players..:0 Actually have won $140 but because we played small, in the end, the total sum has to divide by two, so only win $70 lor..Nevermid, I am contented seriously.

Dropped dead now. Have to go schooling tomorrow and really hope I can wake up which is unlikely....Hmm, probably i will only go for afternoon session but all depends...Shall make a trip myself to taka tomorrow after school. Need to buy art and craft thingy from Art friends..

Ciao..

Din know there is such mobile software which allows the filtering of smses to different folder. E.g. if A person sms, the sms will automatically store in A folder, and if B person sms, the sms will automatically store into B folder. Most amazingly is the folder can be hidden and set invisible and only the owner knows how to retrieve it. So, you can place your handphone anywhere and your wife or girlfriend will now know whether you are doing anything fishy outside.

Heard of flash SMS as well. If the sms is sent to the person, once read and closed, it will automatically self destroy..

hmm, it also has the intelligence for you to configure what type of ringtone the person can hear when he/she call you. Eg, if you have lied to your girlfriend that you are overseas, when your gf called, she will hear the overseas ringtone instead...

Sound amazing right!! Perhaps you have known about it, but I definitely didnt know it at all until my friend told me cos he is using that software in his handphone. This guy has basically two girlfriends at the same time and thats explains...:)

The joy of not living together

Let me convey this to a person, "If you think over 30 and single makes you an oddball, wait till you get into a relationship with no plans to wed..". Actually there is no hurry to find a partner, if fate is not here, why force into it? Be happy that you are single (which some of us would envy), cos you get to enjoy what most of us cannot enjoy..You have the whole world of time to find the right ones cos you are man, unlike a woman..If you miss one, wait patiencely for another boat, I am sure there are ample there...Cheerio

Adorable sweetie

Did not manage to get a good shot of her as she simply refuse to take photo. Umi's two years old daughter was sitting next to me the entire night. She is so damn adorable. The first kid who had called me Aunty most in my entire life. I think about 40 times yesterday. She would say "Aunty bao bao", "Aunty bu yao", "Aunty take this for me", "Aunty water", etc..

She does not resemble her mum at all, but hor, she looks like me leh..ha ha..When I brought her out for a walk, i feel like her mummy instead.

Red packet

Jaseline's big day today!! Eh, what to wear for her dinner? I have been digging my wardrobe hoping to find something to wear. Probably I should go with the black plain halter neck dress which I brought from eSprit few years ago.

Simply drained from last night manjong, still need to catch some more sleep. Nightzzz!!

Gambling

The game which I enjoyed most is Manjong. Actually to be accurate, I enjoy gambling or standing around watching games in casino..I am not those who really addicted in gambling, but I simply love the way I use my brain actively analysing statistics. Once in a while, I still visit casino like twice or three times a year. Never change isn't it? Still remembered the old times when I was in those casinos in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. The most interesting ones was in Perth. Those whom were with me would know the story..We could simply gambled the entire night and go straight to school. The best thing was we brush our teeth in school to get ready for class. That were the fun days I never forget in my life!! Still so sweet...

Well, having said that, I am just back from my majong session in the evening. Run some errands after work and followed by 3 round of manjong. Won only $2..ha ha..but i gave it to my friend who lose. Well, just for fun so it does not matter whether I lose or win.

Turning points in my life

Coming to 30 years old but I still do not feel old until I realised friends besides me are all married and even have kids. Well, I am still young at heart, as though just graduated from university. The difference is my energy level. I could no longer skip my sleep. Still recall my first year work in HP when I always out at night when ppl usually gone to sleep. I would attend meeting at night and followed on with some activites with my good poly friend or with my cousin. We usually out to hang around in coffee house, swimming in the cold damn water middle of the night, geylang eating fruits, chit chat at east coast macdonald, etc. I basically can tour around any part of SGP in the middle of the night and reached home about 3 or 4 a.m in the morning. Surprisely, i still managed to get to work. That's how energetic I was. But now??? hee hee..

Time passes fast. Looking back, I have completed my 10 years plan. Time to set resolutions for the next 10 years...

Some days to mark for this year. 26th of May and 26th of Oct 2007. These two dates set the new start of my life..Changes in my passport and my status. Hope I can make change to my resume soon. Lets count down to end of 2nd year contract.

Amazing News

Sometimes it really needs the right person to come at the right time to do the right thing for you. Eh, thanks to that lady at Tanglin Shopping Centre. She has done the beautiful job to make me kick away my bad habit..

You will not believe it. I went to prescribe a spectacle today and amazingly, my eye degree has went up to 1000 per eye. Listen here, 1000 per eye ok, not both. I am going to be blind one day, trust me. It is time for me to go for lasik and I hope i am suitable for that procedure. Heard that not everyone is suitable. Big sigh..sigh and sigh..

Complete solution is recalled and the sucky thing is that I have used Complete all these while..Suah leh..speechless..have to call the hotline to see what they are going to offer..

No Luck

Eversince I missed the first prize which nearly made me committed sucide (just kidding but at the moment, I really heart pain), I have not strike 4D again..People around me have striked 4D almost every week but how come does not happen to me..For my entire life, I only strike 3 times total up to around 4K with the same number and until now, just no luck..When when and when can I be tai tai???

Life is unpredicable

Fourth day today and I was damn tired. But it is nothing to compare with those who stayed overnight with my grandma. Am on leave today and just back from CGH. Well, she is still as talkative even with her weak heart. She has been cracking jokes and acting like little kid. So cute of her..I suppose she does not want us to worry about her.

Well, actually she is suppose to be discharge today but doctor wanted to put her on observation still because her heartbeat paused for a few seconds a few times last night..Poor aunty whom accompanied her for few nights has also fell sick with VERY high blood pressure. She was in A&E yesterday as well.

Dad, his only son now also took leaves and stayed in hospital to look after her mum. He even promise his mum that he will definitely quit gambling. Well, i have been hearing this for YEARS but it never come true. Hope this time is true. I have a few witnesses with me..yeah yeah..

Oh, I have a friend (28 years old) who passed away two days ago due to drink diving. I think the news was mentioned in the newspaper. He died instantly with three friends injured. My cousin told me that they went to dig his stuff in his room and realised he has 70K debt with the banks..See, See..the cause of buying a WRX..I do not know how his family is going to bear this amount for him..Best thing is they realised besides his 7 years girlfriend, he also had another girlfriend whom is pregnant turned up in the wake..Wow, amazing right..Another sad story..

My heart is bleeding

The specialist told us that they are giving her medication. But people who suffer from heart attack will still have the risk of having heart deteriorate even with medication. These few days are crucial for her as her heart is very fragile. Her heart is montiored by icu. Anyway, we are told to prepare for the worst because there is no way for her to go thru operation due to her age.

My heart is bleeding...Too painful to bear!!

Do not take her away from me!!!

Two missed calls from my cousin during my PMP lesson today. It was 3.00 p.m and my sense told me something has happened. I hate to receive my cousin's phone call out of the blue. True enough, my angel grandma was in A&E when I returned her call. Luckily, my class ended early at about 3.30 p.m and rushed my journey to Changi General Hospital..

She was in A&E for 4 hrs. Doctor was trying to slower her heart beat as the hypertension will cause her to get stroke. Our eyes were red while waiting because doctor has told us to prepare mentally. At about 6 pm, all cousins, nieces and nephews had arrived. That's the time when grandma had stablised and warded, but she is just as weak.

At her age of 92, I think she will leave us anytime this year. She has been a strong lady. A perfect person with perfect eye sight, kind, gentle and loving soul. We shower her with our love heartedly and vice verus, she has given us the same. The closest person deep in our heart, we all know and of course, we pray she can get well soon.

What will happen to me if she left? What will happen to the entire family if she left? That's the scariest moment and I bet it gonna be the worst day in my life. Well, having said that, I definitely have no courage to face it.

Looking at her pale face, her weak breathing, our hearts have melted. When she held my hand, my tears just dropped. Ma ma, do not leave us so sudden, please. You have made our life wonderful and beautiful. I have the best grandma in this world. Ah gong, if you are there to wait for ma ma, can you tell god not to have her with you so soon? The selfish me would like her to stay longer so that she can attend my wedding ceremony and thats the last thing i wanna ask for and do it for her..please, please...

Ma ma, if you could bring me to life when I was primary 5, the year which I nearly died due to appendix explosion. I hope the love I have in you can bring you eternity living. Lets fight together for our future, ok?? Promise me

Before and After

Have learnt a new skill today. Hee hee..so happy.. I am going to learn a new stuff everyday so that I can finally create a montage myself.

Look out for the eye bag. Before and After..

Before:-


After:-

Who is at fault?

This is scary. I have just finished the blog of May (http://pinkmayflower.multiply.com/journal/item/140), the girl who died due to overwork in HP.

Whose fault is that? Her fault to overlook her health, HP fault to overlook the welfare of their staff or the society fault? Many arguments, many views. Which is right?

Health
======
Everyone should be responsible for their own health. If you do not love your body and take care of it, who else can do it for you. If you could not take care of yourself, who else can you take care of. It is a chicken and egg thingy. Do you think that the company will take pathetic of you and let you go on leave or break with many deadlines to meet. However, I do understand that in situation whereby the person is committed and responsible to his work, he will tend to neglect his own health in one way or the other.

Company
=======
I am an ex-HP staff too. It is indeed not easy to survive in HP due to the needs to multitask tonnes of work, the needs to have meeting even after office hour and sometimes up to early morning. Because of these, you could hardly catch some sleep and rest. Colleagues are basically glued to their laptop working around the clock even on weekend. Because of this, HP implemented flexible working hours allowing staff to work from home.

Some who do not work in HP also feel that we have the luxury to work from home or come to office late, but do they know the effort and sacrifice we have made to enjoy this. Sometimes working from home can be worst than working in the office because oftenly you will skip lunch and time chit chatting with colleagues in the office. I still remembered once that I had meeting every night for almost a year being a UAT lead. There was hell!! Come to think of it now, I am very certain that I do not want to go back to such life again. NEVER!! I feel much better without any nights meeting now.

Pros and Cons. Colleagues were nice there and bosses were opened to feedback as well. Very open culture but work kill big time.

Society
=======
Lots of things to talk about Society today. Everyone should know why money is so important today. In Singapore, to own a car, a house, etc are so so expensive. Everything is going up but very often, salary stays stagnant or we have to really work extremely hard to see a bit of money coming in. Very difficult to survive ya. M The best thing is the way the culture runs in Singapore. We usually given tonnes of work to do and it basically the job of two person instead of one. In this case, your boss will tell you that these are needed to support your promotion, etc. Many usual statements provided by those bosses. I can even memorise and know what they are going to say next so I could not be bother to comment. Many many more about this society that drives its nation to suffer.

Medical Checkup

If i remembered correctly, it was my third medical checkup for the year. The first ones was with my family clinic. That checkup was altrasound on my kidneys, bladder, womb. The second checkup was with IDA. I paid $120++ for the woman package. Everything was good except my HIGH cholesterol level and low red blood cell. Me and mine Seafood again..hee hee.

The two tests have proven that I have grown taller. Now is 1.61 m which I used to be 1.60 m only. Hee hee..Dun ask me why I can be taller since age is catching up..I have no idea or is it because of my swimming session.

All about Dreams

Eh? What actually make up of dream? Every night when we go to sleep, we will spend part of the night dreaming or in the dream state. Though we may not remember anything about our dreams but we all have them.

See, I am a dreamer. I dreamt 99% of the time and I do enjoy my dreams most of time. Because I enjoy to be in my dream, I could hardly wake up to work almost everyday to work..ha ha..Is this an excuse or what?? Anyway, I really love to dream. In dreams, I could get to places which I may not have a chance to go to, be with handsome someone whom you may not have a chance to meet with or close to someone you wish to, etc..and because of it, I used to have a dream dictionary with me which I have bought. Now it is nowhere I could find..Damn..

How much do you believe in your dream? Do you always feel that something looks so familar in life which you thought you have came across in your dream..Well, I think some of you do.

Actually, I am amazed by myself. Sometimes I can wake up half way from my dream to answer my nature call. When back to my bed, I will think of what I have dreamt earlier on, if I could remember, I can naturally return back to my dream. Amazed right..I thought so too...Sometimes, I enjoy my dream so much that when i woke up, I will make story to continue and in the end, I often forgot what I have done earlier before I left home..Sigh..

Personally, I believe in dreams. I believe if you do think of a person too much, care about an incident too much, images will appear in your dream and they do reflect reality.

Here for now. Thanks for listening to my crappy stuff..heehee

Lies Beneath

Something shocking. Story begins..

Accidentally realised something happening to an overseas friend today..I was shocked to realise..What have lied beneath have finally came to lights..Is this called hiding the truth or hideous act or I could put as secretive? Fundamentally, the truth is difficult to accept but I guess she has swallowed it and accepted the truth. It has also geared her brain ease of guessing and put her love to a stop. Whether it was a good or bad news, it is up to her to assess. Hopes may have vanished in her heart. Sad news is, it has tortured her for few years but the good news is, thanks god, her path is cleared for the rest of her life and she could move on without regret finally..A phase which reads "Life is like a scam. In the end, what you really want may not be want you want..". It happens most of time and it is up to individual to accept the path and be brave to face the challenge. Do not be the weakest link.

My friend, stop looking back, if anything can be done, it would have been done long time ago. It was obvious that no effort has been delivered or sacrificed. If anything can be done to heal your wound now, that is time.

Activities

Manjong session last night was fun. Basically we have cracked jokes and laughed heartedly during the entire session. My jaws nearly dropped.

Just back from a streamboat dinner with two pretty ladies. Suppose to be ladies night, so we ate and went for a short shopping at Marina Square. Ended up buying a blue top from Zara.

Work has been busy throughout the entire weeks. Cannot stand it but what to do but to whine everyday lor..sigh :(
