Beautiful Bride

Juz attended my sec sch classmate's ROM on 8 sept 2005. 2nd ROM tat i've attended so far. But things ain as smooth flowing as it looked on e 1st tat i went for.

Let's juz say, it was a long long wait juz for a few moment of quiet time and blessings for the couple. Minutes after we entered JOY room, justice of peace spoke and made the couple exchange their rings and said their vows. We were 'rushed' out of the room, without any other photos being able to be taken in the room with the newly-wed nor the justice. sian....

but still we managed to get a few other pics taken while we were waiting to enter the ROM and also later at lunch at e Mansonic restaurant which is juz a walk away and served nice lunch buffet... *droolin*



When we all reached ROM to meet the bride and groom...Ladies, frm the bride's side



And we waited... to enter the JOY room. where 2 people who were singles when entering, will be officially bond together and exit as Mr n Mrs Loo... *hey, i'm nt jokin but groom's surname is really LOO*



Lunch time !! Blessings from everyone who attended the ROM...

after 1 hr plus of ordeal... it was done.. it didnt look quite rite, but thinking it'll peel off n be more natural so i let it be. Feeling tired n a little itchy @ the new wound...i decided to go hm...

OMG !!! i was screamin at myself when i 1st looked into the mirror n terrified at the look of my face... my left brow was arched n higher den my rite brow...!!!!!! din noticed tat at e salon wif tat tiny mirror of theirs. but nw, standing in front of my full length mirror, i cld see very obviously tat both brows r different !!!! gosh !!! i freaked out... n started msgin ppl n complaining.... tryin to work out a way to get it resolved... coz i've got a fren's ROM to attend n dearie's fren 21st b'dae party to go... i cant go in tis state...

A pHoNe CaLL

Gee... was happily chattin on the phone wif my dearie... and a second line beeped thru... unfamiliar no. but was wondering if it might be important, thus got off wif him n retrieved the second call.

"Hello. I'm Sandy from NLB..."

NLB...!!! NLB... = National Library Board

I was juz abt to get all worried and yet excited as today was the dateline of the 2 weeks tat Sandy had earlier spoke of. I had an interview on Monday, 8 Aug and she did mentioned I should get a call from her w/i the nxt 2 weeks if nt I'll b gettin a letter to state tat my interview and application was unsuccessful.

Worried as it's gonna be another journey of job hunting... which I have been embarking on. Plus if it's gonna be as preferred by the head of panel of interviewers tat day. They gonna place me in the New Reference Library @ Bugis, which means I'm gonna have to work on Saturdays n Sundays = no time to spend with my DEARIE.... omg....

Excited as it's gonna mark the end of my no $$ to spend days....

"I'm calling to see if you're still interested in the opening of the Library Officer." said Sandy
She called to tell me that the panel has come to a decision and is interested in roping me in as a Library Officer for the New Reference Library.

aiyah... mind confused... dunno wat to write... spoke to Serene and Ian. They're both happi for mi as I've found a job... but y m I still frowning as I'm writing tis... sigh.... guess u might guess it n they both knew.... no mood to continue nw... gonna go out for appt soon.... maybe come bk refreshed will continue with the phone conversation n the part which made it difficult to make my decision...

over n out

Yawn...

Haiz... been looking 4 a job since Aug 1... nw oni NLB got back n asked mi to go for interview on Monday, 15 Aug.

my 'Sa Gua', heard tat if I really joined NLB and being posted to community libraries, i gonna haf to work on Sats n Suns... he painicked... ekek... at first still very supportive... say wat... "go lah, y dun join NLB, u sure can get in wan rite? den no nd to fred over jobless lor..."

Nw I confirm go try my luck, told him of my 'workin schedule' den guess wat he say... "beta go find those admin jobs u were lookin at"... ekek....

seriously, at times... i was wondering if i did the right move. by leaving DYSS so hasely or was it not a carefully thought thru decision tat i've made since june... for almost 2 weeks nw... i've been doin nothin except lookin for jobs online and surfin my emails n chattin occassionally and keepin my dearie company...

as i'm typin these... he lays dere, slpin like a baby.... totally different from the guy i saw tis mornin whom juz returned from a night of work and toil... it's been two full nites of work and today i can really see he's exhausted from it... poor boy... workin so hard to gain recognition and to earn more $$ to form his rugby team.... hehee...

no worries, we'll work hard together and get thru tis... rugby team.... maybe lah... ekek...

Play Lah Play somemore PC games... or watever games....

NeRvE wReAkInG dAy

I was being interviewed by 3 ppl today. first was the manager whom i spoke to on wed, followed by 2 team leaders - one in charge of asia-pac: japan, taiwan and china? and the other asia-pac: australia and new zealand.

They looked really nice ppl, but I was really taken aback by the qns that they were asking...

"if i were to call your current empolyer, what would be the weaknesses that they might point out about you?"

"how would you see yourself delegating work to other?"

"how does your family and friends comment / look at you as?"

"did you encounter inter-conflicts with your colleagues, how did you deal with it?'

"what is your thoughts abt stress, how do you cope with stress?"

gosh, i never thought going through an interview with an international company would be that major. Really opened my eyes to a whole world...

geesh was i kinda put thru 'hell' within tat timeframe of 20mins !! can u imagine? juz 20mins and it felt like ages... previously that hour long conversation with the manager alone, wasnt tat bad.. or maybe as wat she said, it's early in the mornin and maybe the slpbug was still loiterin in her head...

confidence level - downscaled to 55%?? dunno... manager looked impress but haf to win over the other 2 leaders too...

pray hard n counting down to Monday... 3 days to go...

New HoriZen ...

Posted out my resume last week and got an reply on Mon...

went down for the interview tis mornin and got myself a 2nd interview tis Fri !!
shouldnt be a problem to secure a new job soon... ekek...

keep u ppl updated soon...

take care... tata

Sigh.... sian.... sad....

borin life... stagnent work... seriously wondering how on earth did i ended this way... wasting my life... everything seemed pointless at this time... everything that i achieved, i done, i experienced, i fought for will be gone with the wind, when i'm six feet under.... so wat the heck with me fightin and tryin to struggle for survival in this cruel world n society...

hey, dun think i'm tryin to write my last will or testimonial... COZ I AM NOT...
juz tat maybe today's kinda too blue.... and in constrast I shld be happy coz its the weekend already....

recently spotted a nice blog from lee ming (deyi librarian)... it was awarded best international blogger site... and she does offer stuff tat girls kinda like... and for the GUYS... maybe it'll b a site for ur references as to wat most girls needs and wants....

enjoy... while i ponder away wat to do nxt and maybe complete the report i'm suppose to...

Happiest Day :>

365 days ago... on tis very same day... I was still hard at work and even after work I still had to rush down to Tampines from Ang Mo Kio... to help out at my uncle's medical shop. Afterwhich, I received an sms, asking wat time I'm going home, do I need a ride... never did I expect... it became the ride of my life....

Driving me to a secluded area in Ponggol... searching for the stars in the sky for mi... it was a windless nite and the place was kinda packed with ppl fishing and strollin... he popped the question... but I hestitated... he was disappointed... he persisted... and when he sent mi home... I agreeded...

Looking back, it seemed like oni ytd, when it happened.... and now he becomes indispensable in my life...

2 days ago, when i was at home, he sms and told mi he was going to be late... later on, he called and mentioned he'll be coming by later to fetch mi... but since after the call... i waited for an hour... to no sign of his car... was wondering wat was e delay... tried calling his handphone and it was engaged... " maybe the batt flat" but as time passed... i was beginning to wonder... if something actually happened... tried to call a couple times more... still off... called his brothers... no one answered too... another hour passed.... i was on my feet and out the door... tryin hard to spot his vehicle... every cab and car tat might possibly haf in him... but none... den at 10pm, he sms and said he's coming... my heart sank....

when he appeared at my door step, he looked tired n exhausted.... he looked unhurt... thus i pondered and asked wat had happened... he was smiling... n passed me a FEDEX n told mi to open...
thinkin it must e my surprise for our anniversary... inside it was yet another box... den... i saw my watch... shaped in a spaceman helmet... i was stunned n speechless.... he was missing for so long juz to get my watch done... *my poor dearie* gone thru so much to get e stuff for mi n put in some much effort it make it perfect n nice for mi... i'm so touched...

lookin at wat i've done for him, i'm so belittled...
**wonder if he likes mine present for him...**

It's time to talk about whatever it is that's been keeping you awake at night and preventing you from concentrating during business hours. You've tried to handle it alone, and that hasn't worked. Ask for help.

man-made rainbow.... a little console over the bumpy ride but wen han was sayin "u wanna see, go my workplace when the gardener is watering the plants... u get even BIGGER RAINBOW -_-"




upon reaching, we had a briefing by one of the staff called Bi (by) and it was free n ez till lunchtime... so we put our bags n roam ard the area... spotted e hammerock !! shiok !!

the surfer board at the main entrance of the pub... cant see much though... but it was oso here where we saw fire works... lighted by another grp of guests who arrived on 29th April.. but after the 2nd one, they got warned by the manager coz it's nt allowed.. i suppose they were worried tat nearby ships might think it's an SOS signal n later all come to the resuce...



view of the sea from where the pub is... nice hor... even wen bin was droolin over it... ekek...

along the route we were brought to a well where it's not being used already... when there used to be civilisation here... they depended on this well for water.. but ever since a person jumped in n ppl saw a head near where the guide's hand is... they moved out of the island le... scenario sound familiar??? ekek....
