Looking Back...

It's the weekend!!!! :) Having used to work on Saturdays and the occasional Sunday / Saturday night as MOD on my previous job, I really really appreciate that I get both Saturday and Sundays off now :) Despite the tons of work-related reading materials that I have to go through before the weekend is over (as usual leaving them to the last minute), I am determined to update my blog :P So here goes..........

Update #1 : Making A Difference

(l-r) Loke, Jess & Ah Tiann

Ah Loke....I remember when we were in Uni together, you used to say that you envied me with all my activities and travels in AIESEC...you said you wish that you were brave enough to pursue something that you really wanted to do...and so you have! :) I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you for doing what you do, and I am so glad that your efforts as a voluntary teacher in Cambodia was highligted in the AEC show (Thanks Ah Tiann for SMSing and asking me to tune in;)) Just want to say I really enjoyed your narration of the show, and seeing the the simple ways you and your fellow colleagues lead your life, going on with nothing more than the firm belief in the importance of education, I only have this to say to you:

I am humbled, and I am inspired. Thank you, for TRULY making a difference. :)

Update #2 : Farewell to Imperial

What exactly is a "Lazy Susan"?

How does one apply for HRDF claiming after we have finished an in-house training?

Who are the behind-the-scenes people who make a wedding reception a success?

...are just some of the questions I got answered during my stint at Imperial Hotel :P Aside from these answers, I take away from the experience lots of smiles, memories of some wonderful tasting chocolate eclairs ;), the occasional not-so-good memories when faced with some blatant unfairness, and quite possibly, a bunch of lifelong friends :).......

This was how my old desk looked like :).....

With Mr Don, my sunny CEO :)

Imperial Hotel's HR Department - Jess & Rebecca Tie :)

Both of us leaving Imperial Hotel....Jess & Rebecca Hii (she was having a tough time to smile since it was her last day:P)

Office ladies : Jess, Sylvia, Ms Lee, Tracy, Rebecca and Rebecca

With another office lady :) Lorna was on vacation when I left Imperial....

Sweet sweet Tracy...taken by Jess ;)

Every morning I get greeted with a long-drawn "Leng Loiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" from this guy - Darren :) (picture courtesy of Darren @ http://wuichi.blogspot.com)

Miss you guys loads................:)

Update #3: My Sayang Over There...

Here's a picture of my Sayang in Yellowstone Park...He will be going to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas this weekend along with his ex-housemate who is also in US on training... I have given him permission to go to any strip clubs should he wish to (as if he needs my permission:P), but I have told him that I will not stand for any getting married at some 24-hours-service chapel with an Elvis look-alike as the pastor:P.....sigh...really miss you a lot sayang...can't wait to see you again, which I hope will be soon soon...:)

Update #4: New Job

Don't feel like talking about it:P . Suffice to say that no tears were spared last week....ah well as they say, when you're down, the only way is UP yes?;)

Still Alive :P

Having a tough, TOUGH time adjusting to my new job, but Still Alive nevertheless.

Will update another day when I am more in the mood to.....:P For sure there are a lot of things to say and bubbling in my mind...but am putting them on hold for the moment for other priorities, example more Sleep :P

Signing off til another day....

In Pictures III :)

The final installment of my pictorial on my convo weekend in UTM :) My picture picks of the nicest "posed" shots ;)

In Pictures II :)

More picture picks from my convo weekend in UTM, this time around still life takes centrestage :)...

Ok so the last Lion picture was taken on my "rush hour" trip to Penang to meet up with Khoon before he flew to US, but he's SOooo adorable I can't help but post the picture up!:P

In Pictures :)

Last weekend was brilliant! :)

Meeting up with my sayang, the mini Sunnybears Reunion, some great shopping and celebrating the graduation of several of my closest friends (and my sayang of course:P) really made it a weekend to remember! :)

I think that graduation day/weekend is one of those things that everyone should experience in their lives at least once, regardless of whether it's your own graduation or someone close to you. The happiness, the pride, the laughter, the poignancy...all these jumbled emotions mixed up with the vibrant colours of robes, flowers and soft toys makes for an atmosphere and almost carnival-like mood that reminds you of one thing :

that It's Good To be Alive :).

Here are some of my favourite shots from last weekend, starting with candid ones first :)

Red Nose Day

I've been sneezing uncontrollably since morning and my nose is all red from all its "running".

My colleague says that I must be suffering from "lovesick"-ness as I just came back from my long weekend break in JB where I met up with my sayang and other loved ones :P

Now I just want to finish the afternoon, go back home and rest.

Just one more hour now.......
