2009 안녕, 헬로 2010!

以前每到了年末，都會做個年度每月終結
今年例外
只想記載2009的一些感想…

今年是豐收的一年
因為學到了如何珍惜生命
讓生活不再有遺憾
活著，其實是一件很美好的事！

2010年，我要努力地生活
希望你也和我一樣
在這兒，送你們一顆蘋果
祝你們在虎年里
健康快樂！

고마워 그리고 사랑해…

你的目標變了…
以前你曾說過， 40歲前想當上高層人員
現在你說，只想好起來，然後定下來
我很感動…
謝謝你
讓我看見你的真心

In everyone’s life, there is one person you will cherish the most
One who leaves a mark
While others just passes by
Thank you for leaving a mark in mine
Always.

메리 크리스마스!

Buddy, Melissa and Stanley invited me and a few close friends and family members to their new nest for a Christmas celebration.


Dinner potluck... I made the fruit salad ^^


Christmas caroling! Godpa and Melissa are our musicians for the night!


The singers!


We then headed to Church of Divine Mercy for Christmas midnight mass


While waiting for the caroling to start... photo taking again!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Off to...

Bangkok! A short getaway ^^

크리스마스 선물!

Christmas pressies all wrapped up and ready to be distributed to colleagues and friends this end week before I go on leave!

Did you spot your pressie?

모어 오피 크리스마스 파티 사진!

More pictures from last Friday's company Christmas party...

I like these 3 photos... don't ask me why I was laughing so hysterically?!


Everyone was waiting for dinner to start... can you spot where I'm standing? ^^


Scenic view at the Esplanade ~ nice!

Church of Divine Mercy is Open!

Melissa, Stanley and I attended the first sunset mass at the Church of Divine Mercy, located in Pasir Ris. The interiors reminded me very much of St. Anne's Church and all the memories I had serving in that church.

This Christmas, we will be rejoicing the birth of Christ in this new church!


The crucifix in the church front...

오피 크리스마스 파티

Just returned from my company's Christmas party. It's only my 2nd time attending the Christmas party, missed the previous 2 years as I was on vacation.

This year's theme was 'Mafias, Gangsters & Triads' which greatly reduced our dressing creativity by a fair bit. Besides donning white and black, netted stockings and sticking temporary body tattoos, what else can one wear?


Joanne and Hazel ~ my closest buddies in the company


Jason really looks like a thug doesn't he?


Our Joker for the night!

I didn't recognize Joy! With makeup and curled hair, she really looked HOT!

Jaan with his Elvis hairdo! He won first for the Best Dressed Individual!

TMD!!

Words can often be misinterpreted and misunderstood especially if it's through email communication...

I was incidentally arrowed by the BD director to comment on a particular conference and that we should consider sponsoring it next year. Knowing there's no budget amount set for this conference and that the BD director hated to hear 'no budget', I tried to put a positive spin, replying if it's worth going in, we can play with the budget numbers.

Unfortunately, my MD came back with a rather nasty email (that's how I felt after reading) saying decisions should not be made without my boss, Jane who is unfortunately on sick leave for a month and that any changes to the budget should be flagged to the financial controller...

I was pretty upset... it's not as if I just started my first week with the company. Of course I do know that every decision has to be made as a team! I was thankful to receive Jane's consolation sms though... 'You did everything right so there's no need to be sorry. We marketing people have to be good diplomats too!'

How true!

Anyhow I wrote another email, saying we can explore and discuss this as team when my boss returns in January. Guess what? My BD director replied within 5 minutes with a 'Sounds good'.

TMD %&^%&$#@#@##@!!!

最牽掛你的人是我…

總於有他的消息了
至少我知道他安全回到家，目前情況轉為穩定

這幾個星期，都不知所措…
所有的擔心，只能往心裡塞
加上沒有教課， 空余的時間，就會糊思亂想
想著，眼眶就濕润 ~我快瘋了！

雙子座這週的運勢真貼切
愛情是最牽掛你的人是我

… …

我最放心不下的…
是你

드라마 피버!

11月是個悠哉遊哉的月份
沒有教課、工作也沒那麼繁重
週末時，也沒有特別的計畫
只待在家里…
加上，天公也不做美
就窩在房里看電視劇

最近，在追看《宮心計》
TVB 的年度大製作，有點像韓劇《大長今》
宮廷中的鬥爭、耍心計
人心邪恶，真是環境所造成的嗎?
還剩6集，下長週末應該就可以看完了 ^^

接下來 要追看的是…
IRIS 아이리스!!!



有俊男美女搭配 怎麼可以錯過呢?
久違的李秉宪从2003的《All In》和金泰熙2004 的《Love Story in Harvard》就沒有開拍電視劇了，所以很期待這部韓劇!

기다릴 수밖에 없어...

剛從他母親得知，他還在醫院
想再問多一句，她就下线了…
真想知道多一點
情況如何? 勝算如何?
看來，除了耐心等待
還是
等待…

진 데이...

Something which I dislike... don't know why my company likes to declare jeans day?!

It's my pleasure to announce that the management has approved from next week, 23 Nov to end Dec 2009 … IT'S JEANS DAY EVERYDAY!

*Damn...

한식!

Shirley and I were at Taka on Thursday evening and we decided to treat ourselves to a good Korean dinner at Crystal Jade Korean Restaurant.


Me and the side dishes 판찬


Shirley posing with 百歲酒 백세주


Braised pork slices with cabbage 보쌈 정식


Kimchi Jjigae 김치찌개


Crispy seafood pancake

기도 하십시다...

他情況又不太樂觀了…
他姐姐說他正在加護病房
藥物產生了不良反應
所以他全家人都飛到了休士頓

聽了後，感到傷心、害怕…
畢竟他在我心里還是存有一個很特別的位子

我要努力地為他祈禱
希望你們也可以為他祈禱
我只希望他能度過這非常時期
只要他健康就好
其他的都無所謂…

Campo Marzio Minny LP!

Got a lovely pink Campo Marzio Minny LP pen from Shirley today! It's a pleasant surprise ^^

Thanks my dear friend for cheering me up and being here with me in my darkest moments. It really means so much to me.


I just adore the pokka dots on the pen! Awww soooooo sweet!


They come in different colours like black, blue, red, orange!

나 참 바보 같았!

The truth really stings.
Unawareness can be blissful.
But shit always floats to the top.
I wish I didn’t have to witness the furious truth.
If my friendship is not valued, please give me the cold shoulder. I would rather not have any pretence.

剛發現… 其實第一號大傻瓜是我!
原來所謂的友誼是那麼的廉價
口是心非、表里不一，真是虛偽!!
最可笑的是… 昨天和星期天，我還在MSN和簡訊里，努力地邀約‘所謂的朋友’吃個飯
回想… 我真是愚蠢!
在他/她們眼里我不算是朋友吧?

幸好，剛才有好友陪著
她說得對… 知道總比被蒙在鼓里好過

再見了 過客們…
如有一天 ，在街上碰上了，請像今天中午一樣
假裝沒看到，不認識一樣
擦身而過…

프리랜스 라이팅!

Took on a copywriting freelance job recently though I know nothing about interior designing and furnishing... I thought they look and read not too bad ya? :P

무지개!!

It was pouring this morning but rain subsided just before I headed out to work... While walking to the lift, I saw... the rainbow! It's really a pleasant surprise!


Nearing to the lift, I suddenly realized its a full semi-arc rainbow! Too bad my iphone camera wasn't very good, didn't manage to capture the whole rainbow in 1 picture...


Had to stop myself from taking more pictures, otherwise I would have missed my bus to work!

Enjoy the energy of the rainbow!

믿을 수 없어...

疑惑
心已經無法再相信…
那種無奈和無力之感
該如何是好?

아무리 노력을 해도
난 항상 그대를 맘속에 품고 있는걸요
보고 싶어서

우울증...

最近情緒陷入低潮，加上生體不佳
做任何事都無法有衝勁…
一個人，真的可以嗎?

好友們最近很忙，我也不想打擾
擁有幸福，真讓人羨慕!

曾聽說過… 如果要快樂，只需一秒就可以快樂起來
我也希望那一秒快點到來

我獨自一個人…
可以重新出發嗎?

風不在乎它要吹過的地方，因為吹過之後永遠不會再回來，
留下的只是一種感覺，一種聲音。
再次經過的已不是曾經的那陣風，
讓人感受到的只是曾經相似的感覺，呼呼的風聲。
帶不走的丟不掉的留不下的都交給風，
讓它都吹走吧…

Drinks at New Asia Bar

I was feeling quite down on Friday night, felt like drinking...
Coincidentally, Shirley's ex colleague had a birthday drinks invitation at New Asia Bar so we both went along for some free champagne ^^


Great scenic view at New Asia Bar...


I was Shirley's escort for the night :)


Jimmy, the person who extended the drinks invitation

Sam and Jimmy - the birthday boys for the night

Wilson who amused me with his good English!

More photos are uploaded here.

믿을 수 없어...

我的心情超低的
但我沒有哭…
不是因為我勇敢
只是
我的心…
已麻木了

뉴 슬리퍼!

My new Papillio slip-ons!

배비 안드레아!

It's baby Andrea first month celebration today. My college friends and I visited Shirley Ang's new house at Pasir Ris and had a great time catching up. It's been a long while since we last met.


Managed to capture bb Andrea with a smile!


College reunion... welcoming Shirley Toh back home as well as baby Andrea into our college circle!

감사하고 있다…

Life is just too short to get upset all the time
U wouldn’t want to be like me fighting just to stay alive.

這是他今早對我說的話…
感覺上他有點無奈、生氣
他的病情還是沒好轉

他的病確實改變了我…
Don't sweat the small stuffs cos it's all small stuffs.
Always be grateful for life 只要生體健康，凡事都ok

其實現在，我只希望他能戰勝病魔、早日康复
未來是個未知數…
朋友說的對
只要他知道我的心意，那也就夠了

아이쿠! 아파!

My poor foot... apparently pulled a vein because of too much standing and walking on heels on Saturday. I had to rest for the past 2 days, it was so painful yesterday that I had trouble getting down my bed! :(

결혼 축하합니다!

Managed to photoshop and upload Melissa's wedding pictures on flickr! Here are some to share...


The beautiful bride fully dolled up and radiating happiness!


Where's our angbao?!

Stanley finally gets to unveil the bride after completing a series of sabo tasks!

The wedding cake! Can't bear to eat the lovely cupcakes...

Finally a picture with the bride! I didn't take many photos in church as I was the mass coordinator, trying to get the student musicians ready and music going... the mass went pretty well, though there were a few hiccups :)

Dinner was at The Blue Ginger Peranakan restaurant. Food was great!

Though the day was exhausting (I merely slept for 1 hour the night before), I was glad everything went well! I'm very happy for Melissa. May she and Stanley walk in the happy ways of love, trusting in the grace of God to lead them from above!

멜리사의 빅 데이!

今天是我最好的朋友的大禧日!
我們中3開始認識，從初院變成最好的朋友，一轉眼就15年了…
這15年，我們建立一個很穩固的友誼
雖然近幾年，有過冷戰和一些不愉快，但我還是很庆幸有這麼一為了解我的知心朋友
我也很感激近期發生的事情，讓我們倆再次拉近彼此的距離，彼此的感情跟情誼更密切

我很為她開心…
因為她找到了她的幸福
她曾經跟我說過，當愛情經過時，是很難低檔'The Moment'
我的Moment…
還能持續多久呢?

好友，祝愿你有個十全十美的婚姻!
友誼萬歲!
