Last night was May’n first stop for her Big WAAAAAVE Asia Tour which was in Malaysia KL. Good to see her again. And her live is still as powerful.

But i’m aching from head to toes now and the bloody flu is back. Dunno is it the weather or overworked, Aiko, Robin and me all fell sick. We were moving from hot to cold hot to cold all the time. It was so bad on 1 of the nights. I took panadols, paste the fever thingy on my forehead and when i sleep, my whole body was farking burning… ARGG.

This is more like a ranting post….dun get fooled by the title….i’ll tell you y.

Our ideal honeymoon is to go USA. After The ANG’s colleague went for his honeymoon early last year, he told The ANG how nice it is and yadda yadda.

Bestie went for her Honeymoon last Dec and came back with compliments and all so all the more i feel like going.

We were actually planning our trip for this year end as well but due to some personal plannings and availability of leaves etc we had to bring forward the trip to this April.

Went to NATAS last weekend and checked out the packages. Wah! its ex de loh….the packages cost almost 7k and plus spendings i’m estimating about 10k gone. I very stingy one loh!!! really dun bear to spend dat much on a holiday….

So tot of going Hokkaido….can show some support to my client somemore but then….sala season leh…i wan to go snow snow de loh….

Sian daoz!!!! And The ANG can only go this April loh!!!! FML…

So i suggested to go Taiwan. Cheap and good. And so it was decided.

BUT…….

Only 1 month to departure nvm….

All of the above was done only after Sunday and in between i had to work like a dog @ work for my event this Sunday in KL. And my regular projects all near to delivery date. T_T

Hopefully when i’m back next week from KL, i will have more time to plan the itinerary…

The time is now 1.57am and i am working alone while The ANG is sleeping soundly in the bedroom. I have been working till the wee hours continuously for the past 1 month. I seriously dunno where the hell i get the energy, passion, patience, to cope with the job.

I know i shouldn’t complain since i already know what im getting myself into when i choose to continue to work in this industry but the amount of time, effort and pay really doesn’t justify.

Maybe after wedding, if we were to start planning for a bb, i should seriously think about the career. But then again, i will be having a new assistant so i hope it will take the load off abit and i can do more AFA, rest more, accompany my ANG more.

Ok, back to work. Mina-san Oyasumi-nasai

I really dun mean to whine but i really am so tired and stressed up. No time for anything else except work and more work…..

September is really bad for me….i think i need to take leave just to rest after this crazy surge.

My back hurts….big time….i think its due to the long hours of sitting….i need my massage soon but bloody Ultimate appointments are ALWAYS full. Can you imagine i had to book like 2.5 weeks in advance if im going alone…and 1 freaking month if i wan to bring papa along.

Also, i need to shout out to all my friends…please…i mean PLEASE stop me from eating if u see me binge on food. I have to like really shed some fats off. The wedding is just slightly 2 months away and i still look fat…..ok before ppl scold me, i have to say. I really am not thin. I just hide. And my problem area is my arms and i DUN wear sleeveless so no way u people can see my arm so dats dat.

Anyway, i’m still sticking to my no meal after 8pm. And i think subway will be my new best friend.

Wish me good luck people.

Just feel like updating a post today. Actually nothing much to update. Life is still same old same old….work work work….then weekend MJ Mj Mj…..for 4 weeks straight MJ-ing haha i think got to stop for a couple of weeks.

Got down to prepare for the wedding. went for food tasting, brought my papa to tailormade the suit and started to write my invites.

I have to either give them before the 7th month start or after. Those usual suspects that frequent my house have already gotten theirs.

Well, i find the preparations a chore….right now i just wish for it to be done and get over with but i know for sure when it is nearing the date i will be super excited.

After the wedding, no time to slack, AFA is around the corner. I can still remember the rush and adrenaline during AFA08. I know this year will surely be more interesting.

And then it will be year end…. I seriously will talk to boss about pay raise. I’m doing the workload of 3 persons….ok maybe too kua zhang but confirm not 1 can handle. Imagine having 15 projects at 1 go? I sometimes feel i have too much passion for my own good.

This is a super random and make no meaning post. Goodnight.

I think i have a phobia of going to work

Ok, i’m officially Ms No-Life.

I’m really beginning to feel that i dun have a life….im practically just working and watching TV. Dats all.

To be fair, work is busy but not til the extent that i cannot take it. I blame it on my age. I think no longer is the time i can cheong work and still feel fresh. 1 day of very late night sleep or any mentally-drained activity will leave me really shagged out for at least 2 days. Ha ha

Sorta apologetic to The ANG though, he has been jaga-ing the reno and although there are times when i have promised i will take leave and attend the meetups with the ID, i alwaes fly aeroplane at the very last min. Bo bian leh, meetings for some projects are die die i have to attend.

Now, im joking with my colleagues that i really got to spare time for him else sooner or later he will divorce me…..and it doesnt help cos i dun work on weekends but he does…..

So the next best thing is my laptop and tv….told you im a couch potato liao mah….haha

I have been busy…..work is piling up yet again…..i have 4 deadlines to meet just alone in June and AFA09 is taking place in Nov……expecting workload to increase….

I really a bit stressed that i will not have time to get married loh…or rather not have ample time for preparations.

I can only start my preparations around in July/ August to get the invitations printed, buy the items for GDL/AC then September to give out invites, bring my parents to tailor made their clothes, etc etc…..i think really is test my limits liao…..to see how i cope my stress hahaha

I better pre amp The ANG….to help in the preparations (although we have agreed reno is he in charge wedding is me) and to tolerate my temper….i tend to get really edgy and short tempered when im stress.

1 good thing is that reno is completed…should be able to handover this Friday. I have to start packing my room bit by bit and slowly shift my stuffs over…..

Tee Gong ah, please give me more time~~~

Call me Rubber Band Lim now…..I is super stretched to the max liao….

Doing up the house and getting married is no joke. It needs like a super big amount of $$ can~~

I have to plan my expenses right to the very dollar now. No more online shopping, no more unnecessary buys, no more restaurant food and most importantly no more taxis.

Tee Gong please po pi me strike 4D can?? I is not greedy, i only buy small small de.

Today is Sunday….and i dread the week that is coming….or should i say, i dread work…..

It is becoming ridiculously busy….sometimes i do salute myself for able to cope with all the shit….by myself. My department is a very small department and i have to accept that its work…but sometimes all i needed is a little help from very free fellow colleagues but nope, Ah Ly gotta get real and wake up. That is not gonna happen.

The options are laid out clearly in front of me….should i be practical and move on to somewhere where firstly, the works are superbly well done and not treated like 2nd class citizens?? Or should i hang on to my passion yet work like a dog and be in a team where team-work is not uniformly executed.

3 more weeks…..

I have seriously got to stop eating…..ever since after the photoshoot, i have been eating and eating….and eating….

I gained back all the weight i lost…WTF!!!!

Acupuncture n exercise again for Ah Ly…….

I have been getting complaints from my frens that i hardly update my blog now, truth is, i have nothing much to blog.

Work has been ridiculously stressful. The capacity is still manageable but somehow the management of projects for certain projects are impossibly tough. Human factor i call it. Haiz…..

Been getting sickly, i realized its a pattern. Whenever i lose the enthusiasm in my job or when i developed a certain anti feeling about my work, i somehow will get sick. (Real sick not genz sick)

Jim says its stress which is a form of depression, but Ah Ly is an optimistic ger mah.

Sometimes I feel 做人真得很麻烦, no options we will KBKB, too many options oso KBKB.

I’m one such case. I’m actually freelancing for my company for 6 months and my contract will end this month. The agreement at the beginning of the discussion was that due to the headcount issue, i got to work freelance for 6 months before converting to full time. But because of the economy now, throughout the months i was pretty worried about where i would be after the end of the term.

Boss told me a confirmation is on its way BUT nothing has been discussed and things are pretty uncertain due to some issues….and right at this time, i got an invitation to an interview at another big and reputable advertising agency. I went and the initial interview went well.

Now the agency is asking me to go for a 2nd interview and i have another option from another company. And i’m vexed!!!!!! Why, you would ask…..

After the crazy period of of AFA and seeing how we make it a success….i have grown feelings for it. Its like “delivering a baby” as quoted from the team. And i hope to be part of the team for AFA09 but i dunwan the wait from my company to jeopardize the chance of me into other companies which might even offer me a better package.

ARGG!!!!!! Y must it get so complicated…..

I have been very tired lately….work has been ridiculously busy especially so cos the event AFA08 is just round the corner.

Time so little and thousands and one items to do not to forget i still got my other accounts to handle. But i’m sure it will be worth it…just that the process is a bit nerve wrecking….

Of my 3 jobs, (Vintage not counted cos only 2 months), this current one is by far the busiest one. I used to be able to steal a bit of time taking a break from work to surf the internet, chat with friends but now it is usually full force working, sometimes even missing the lunch hour.

My contract is ending this end Dec and have already been given verbal instructions that conversion to FT (with adjustments to package) will be carried out. I understand that in our line, it will always be so busy so i really got to think carefully. I have not been spending enough time with Bin….i just want to rest or sleep over the weekends…..would not want work to affect our lives.

On a happier note, we have finalized our ID for our renovations after like about 3 months of visiting a total of 8 IDs. Updates are done over at the other blog.

The lucky one is Fuse Concept and I am so looking forward to the renovations but it will only happen next year May. So now is the time to slowly discuss about the design, colors, materials etc.

I’m not an easy customer, foresee updates and more updates, ideas changing and more changing….damn it…now i sound like my clients hahah maybe i should be finding a job in marketing over at client side after all…..and then Alf will call me a traitor hahahaha
