Busy, tired, but happy =D

Haven't blogged for quite some time. Christmas week was the most stressful week for me. Wasn't so busy at work than after work. Only needed to update the workers' data and prepare some letters. Wasn't too difficult a task.

Actually I wasn't very busy after work, but rather, was very stressed up as I was so packed during the week with the Christmas BBQ, Ying Yan's birthday card, K-ing session with cousins and spending time with Ben. These seem to be easy tasks, but I was really tensed up then. The one who suffered the most wasn't me, but the one who is always beside me. Sorry for always throwing tantrums on you, I'm just being unreasonable. I'll try to have more control over my temper. =D

Didn't have enough time to planned for the Christmas eve BBQ until the very last minute. Was very looking forward for the BBQ. Wanted to take a day off for that day but decided not to as there was some documents on hand to settle then. Though not many turn up, it was quite an exciting time for me barbecuing my mushrooms and watching the others battling the ants. Haha! =D Hope everyone who turned up didn't find the BBQ too boring. Sorry, didn't have much time to plan for it.

Before the Christmas eve BBQ, was having some difficulties making time out to make Ying Yan's Birthday card. Had the idea of how I was going to make it but was quite afraid that I didn't have enough time. During the weekend night, managed to squeeze out some time to make the card. Although it's not very perfect, hope she liked the card. =D

During the weekend, had a K-ing session with my cousins in the afternoon, which had been delayed for very long. Had a fun time going off tune, singing till we're breathless. Haha! =D Looking forward to our next K-ing session! =D

The week after Christmas was really busy at work. Had to OT everyday, except Saturday. Cos it's nearing the start of a new year, the Finance Department needed to update the workers particulars on their Database, so I had to update our department's database to pass it to them. I had only one day to complete the task, but completed it in two days instead as I kept making mistakes. This experience teaches me to open my eyes big big everytime I do things. The next task up then was to prepare the payroll change for the employees for the new year. It's easy to prepare the soft copy of the payroll change. The difficult part was to print them out. The printer that I was using wasn't a very efficient one, so I can only print at most 10 copies at one time. If not, there might be some troubleshoots like the paper jam or printing out of the designated region. Then, I'll have to print them again. Spent more than an hour printing the payroll changes and fidgeting with the printer. It's quite irritating but I managed to complete the task. =D

I've told my boss that I'd like to work until the 24th of Jan. I've got used to the environment there and like being occupied with work. But the traveling time is really too long and I always feel very tired after work. Now, I also have to take into consideration of the traveling cost. Our student concession had been ceased, we're traveling on adult fare. Each trip to Boon Lay from Khatib costs $1.74. I have to travel to and fro for 6 days per week, it really cost me a bomb. My salary isn't very much after CPF deduction. I'm depending on my own savings now so money is very important to me. After my last day of work, I may go back to distributing flyers while looking for another job. Hui Ping might want to join me, right Hui Ping? Hope she's coping well with her work now. =D

Had a K-ing session with some JC classmates at Yishun Safra's Party World KTV to celebrate Hui Yin's birthday. Another motive was to pay Chun Siang a visit. We were so honoured to be greeted by Chun Siang when we entered the KTV. Then, he took our orders and we were even more honoured to be served by him. Haha! =D It's really surprising for me to know that he works there. He seems to be coping well with the job. =D Back to our K-ing session. For the subsequent K-ing sessions, I think we shouldn't choose to go to Safra's Party World. There are too many distractions. The PhotoHunt and the free football game. As Hui Ping couldn't tahan the voice of our infamous Boy Band, who never fails to go off tune, Jon and Simon, I accompanied her out a few times to play PhotoHunt and the football game. But I managed to make her sing though she was very reluctant in the first place. =D Actually, we were very entertained by our Boy Band. Our K-ing session wouldn't be so full of laughters without them. =D When the session was about to end, the others went to play PhotoHunt so Jovin and I continued to sing. We entertained ourselves with old songs like "Ben Xiao Hai", "Xin Bu Liao Qin" and "Yue Liang Re De Huo". Had an enjoyable time going off tune. =D Hope Hui Yin enjoyed the gathering, I believe that the best present for her is to have an enjoyable time with her friends. Nevertheless, I still owe Hui Yin and Hui Ping a birthday present. It'll be extremely belated, I know both of you won't mind. =D
