I have finally left Pearson!

It was my first (full-time) job and I stayed for a whooping 3 years... Not many people of my generation can achieve that. So if you are just like me, well done!

Actually, I wanted to leave earlier... But my partner beat me to it, and so, I had to stay to finish up the project. And then, I tendered in May, and someone left before me again! Again, we were handling the same project, so... my boss asked if I could extend my stay. SO I STAYED UNTIL NOW. I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY THAT I CAN FINALLY LEAVE NOW! (and worried at the depleting assets in my bank.) But I feel more glad than worry. Afterall, 船到桥头自然直... I'm not fussy about jobs. I'm sure there's something out there.

It does sound like my job was horrible and I can't wait to leave. It wasn't that bad really... The people are nice (like really damn nice), the office dynamics is unbelieveablely positive and the work is crazily insane but fulfilling. Even though the office is so ulu, distance is not a problem to me coz I've worked in further places.

So why am I so over the moon? BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON. It's time to explore! I'm so grateful that Pearson has been a phase of my life. I've learnt many and gained much more than just monetary returns. I've grown wiser, I've grown up! (I've known all along I've always been quite matured, but I feel like I have the wisdom of an eminent monk now... hahaha!)

3 years at Pearson - that's equivilent to a university education. And so, graduating from Pearson, I'm once again at a crossroad. I feel like I'm on an impromptu roadtrip. My next destination - UniSim. I've applied for the course Visual Comm with Business despite bad reviews from my friends. Honestly, I think that's the best that's available. Anyway, your employers won't know what's taught in school, and what you've learned don't necessary get applied at work. You just need a nice sounding degree. Really. If I want to enter the coporate world, I've got a 'Business' degree, and if I decided not to, I've got a 'Viscomm' degree.

Alright... I'm tired now... time to sleep!

oh man.. i'm not even half way there... here's 26...

list 100 things that make you happy (except money)

26. watching Glee

yes... glee make you gleeful. simple isn't it? i love esp teenage dream covered by the glee cast. somehow it sounded nicer... haha.. too bad i can't find the video on youtube anymore.

so great that they're showing glee season 2 on channel 5!!! actually i have season 1 and 2, but i haven't watched them yet. jh told me that i could just watch season 2 from the hdd and forget about staying home and catching it every wednesday... but NO! if i finish watching it at one go... then where's the joy? then there's nothing to look forward to in the week...

after a tiring (or bad) day at work, it feels so great to go home, turn on the TV and watch the crazy people in glee... makes you forget about your frustrations...

oooohhhhh... the little joys in life...

i got fucking rejected by all 3 unis?! fml...

ok.. i drafted out this appeal letter. Does it work?


Thank you for reviewing my application for admission. I was disappointed at the news but I understand and respect this assessment and decision made.

However, I hope that you would reconsider my application as I have fared steadily throughout my academic years and graduated with a diploma with merit. Hello?! That's kinda of like the elites of the poly world ok...

Having been in the workforce for 3 years, I have far more wisdom and common sense than the many JC brats that you accepted. I hope to be able to bring in my knowledge and teach these kids some lessons in life.

If you have a sense of humor, please accept my appeal. If you don't, then accept this sarcasm.

Thank you for your attention.


Help me vet... hehe..

it's been some time... i need to finish this project! damn.. im such a typical gemini... just can't seem to finish anything i started..

anyway, here's 25...

25. visiting bakerella!

love the pinks, cakepops and everything sweet! i'm typing this entry on a Sunday night... really... it's depressing to know that you have to go back to work tml... looking at these sweets takes ur mind off reality for awhile...

c'mon... it's bakerella.. doesn't the name sound whimsical already? hearing the name gives you a cosy feeling doesn't it? haha..

this recipe looks good -> mini maple pancake muffins
haven't tried it, but will try it soon.... and i'll let you know if it's really good.

im not really into politics. and i think politics (of any kind) is silly.

but im really excited about elections! coz this time (i hope) i get to vote! coz it's time we make a decision... a really serious, important, fcuking important decision.

but it really irks me when i hear ppl say "i hate PAP . i'm gonna vote for the opposition so that they get screwed." shouldn't you vote coz you think that party is capable and better? you vote for the opp coz you hate PAP? and you think they'll get screwed coz they lost? don't be naive can? do you seriously think they'll get screwed up? even if they lost their jobs, they're loaded and can do other stuffs too. and i bet they're better off doing other things loh, they can invest, can start a biz, migrate, whatever... and they can earn lots more in fact. why would anyone wanna be a politician? passion to serve the people? it's crazy... it's not just serving a  restaurant full of people, it's serving 4 million people. And not just any people - they're singaporeans! complaining is our forte! it's innate! can you imagine dealing with 4 million demanding, nit-picky and whiny people?

i'm not pro-PAP, neither am i anti-oppositions. im just saying vote for the one who is strong enough to lead. don't just cast your vote coz you wanna boycott some other party. that's so immature. grow up pls! none of the parties will get screwed if you don't vote for them. we will get fcuking screwed if we don't vote properly.

guess what?! i got boxed by a bitch and lost 8 teeth!

24. It's been a looooonnnngggg time since i post... feeling super lazy... here's one thing that makes me happy but requires a hell lot of work from a lazy ass like me.. and it's cleaning up my room. SERIOUSLY... every CNY, I actually feel excited about cleaning up my room. you must be thinking... what a weird woman!

well, the reasons are:

1. don't you feel a sense of accomplishment after clearing piles of stuffs and finally seeing the table top? i feel damn proud of myself after working so hard.. haha!
2. it definitely feels more rejuvenating with less clutter.
3. you might find some small surprises, like finding some money stash somewhere in the clutter (I once found a $50 note), or your long lost earring, or some corny neoprints with your ugly face on it.

then, why don't you keep your room neat everyday? that's because, you'll take away the joy!
you can't dig for hidden treasures, you don't feel the satisfaction of accomplishing such tedious task of organising your room, and how can you stand looking at tidy but boring room for the rest of your life?


so clutter and then declutter your room today!
