3 Days To Christmas

Hey everyone...

it's been a while since i've blogged...
tot i'll drop by and celebrate christmas with an entry that's happier...
esp since i'm no longer feeling the way i was in the prev entry.

wat a christmas this is gona be... it's a different kind of christmas coz the so many things have changed.
first, i'm celebrating my first christmas as someone who's unemployed.
second, i'm celebrating this christmas as a civilian after 9 years.
third, this is the first i'm celebrating christmas as a bachelor in like 6 or 7 years.
fourth, this is gona be the first time in like i duno how many years, i'm gona do a little something for the people ard me...
it's not like it's bad enough dat i've not written christmas cards in like 3-4 years, while ppl have been writing to me...

did some of my christmas shopping abt 2 weeks ago.
bought myself a raoul shirt and cufflinks, jeans from topman, a couple more shirts and a tie from G2000.
did my calculations wrongly, otherwise i could have gotten another shirt from G2000 for only $28 more.
but oh well...


went to malacca for a VC retreat last weekend... from thursday to sunday.
i guess it went pretty alrite... the program seemed a little basic but learnt quite a bit of new stuff...
and kiunda got to spend time with some of the people and got to know them a little better.
went to nancy's kitchen for lunch on the last day (sunday) and like spent only rm16 for an absolutely fantastic and filling lunch.
if we had eaten the equivalent in sg, it would have cost us like twice as much ?
cant remember how prices for peranakan food are in sg. bought yummy pineapple tarts from there too...
they're like among the best i've eaten. others cant compare to theirs.

got my letter from the college. my convocation's gona be on 21 jan 2006.
it's like juz one week b4 cny... hope to be able to like take photos of myself in my academia regalia.
it's like so cool... hahaha...
it's like how u watch all those tv drama serials and u watch the actors "graduate" and all?
it's woohoo... it's my turn now... FOR REAL.

well... have a blessed and merry christmas everyone...
and a very happy new year.

and i'll let u all know abt how my new job is once i start on 3 jan 2006.
wow... it's already gona be 2006 and i'll turn 28 next year...
i'm old, but it's okie... coz 家有一老, 如有一宝.

hehehe... like i so old like dat... hahaha....

The Face of an Angel

It's been abt 4 months now...

somehow we can still talk on msn... over pretty mundane stuff...
but dun think we're at the stage where we're like good friends.
tho we can somehow talk on msn, i still feel dat awkwardness whenever i see her in church...
when i DO see her, dat is...

seeing her face on msn... dat face of an angel...
seeing her face somehow evokes some emotions and memories...
i have to admit she is still the most beautiful girl i've laid my eyes on...
think even tho in my everyday life i've seen other girls and think they look good and all,
i still think she's the prettiest of them all...

sometimes i wonder how she's doing in terms of moving on from our relationship...
i duno how i'm progressing... sometimes i think i'm moving on...
but somehow i also feel dat i'm still stagnant in the same spot...

why are break-ups such hard things to get over? why i can't juz forget and move on with life?
how i wish i wasn't such an emotional person...

The Answers and My Roller Coaster Ride

The answers to the prev post are:

AIDS : As If Doing Something
NTUC : Never Trust Union Chief

hahaha.. bet u all never expected dat !!

happy stuff aside...
these couple of weeks have been a real roller coaster ride.
one moment i'm feeling good abt the career and i'm questioning myself the next.
it's been like 2 weeks now. duno how long more the feeling is gona stay...
but i think if this is how it's gona be for the first year or so... i dun think i can take it.

after listening to my boss's talk on thurs, i realized i'm an emotion-driven person.
holding the traits not really good for this career as a financial advisor.
and i dun want to leave only after i've closed a number of cases as it will be unfair to my clients.

somehow, i think my talents are not suited for this...
but rather better suited for a more hands-on, technical kind of job. think i'd prefer dat.

AIDS? NTUC?

While at work couple of days ago, i learnt something new...

wat does AIDS stand for?
wat abt NTUC?

post ur answers in the comments. will reveal them when i have time to log on. :)

hope everyone is doing fine... as u shd have figured by now, i've already started REAL work,
meeting ppl and learning in the process... enjoying it... tho there have been days when i was somewhat unsure if i have chosen the right career path.

hope my dear frens wun shun me... and will not hold back criticisms to correct me and make me a better person.

gota go now... take care everyone... i miss you !!
