Getting used to 2007
But still, there's always a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow (except I don't see any rainbow whatsoever lah). My old workplace is organising short overseas trips again and this time, they're heading to Vietnam!! Since I had been there for the most of 2006, so I'm still entitled to enjoy the huge savings they are giving for the trip. Its a 3D 2N affair, and I'll get to travel with my former colleagues again...so fun!! Seriously hope it'll be better than the KL trip I went the other time man. At least get to go by airplane lor. Even though the dates sort of clashed with one of the major event at my current office, my boss had given his approval for my trip. Feel a bit guilty actually, since this event actually comes under my portfolio. But my colleagues have promised they will help to get it going in my absence. So touched.
Am giving Ms Prada a treat tomorrow, to thank her for all the great advice and help she's given me during this trying period. I know it hadn't been easy for her, since she's also trying her best to adjust to her new work scope and job functions. I remembered when I first took over, I would call her for every single minute obstacle I encountered. But Ms Prada had always been ever so willing to entertain each and every call, no matter what day and time it came. Yes, I had even called her on Sundays, and late nights before too. Quite jia lat actually. So no matter what, I must show my gratitude and appreciation. =)
Yay, CNY 's coming! Wouldn't you be glad to know that I've resumed my baking classes? Heh heh...Valerie had quite a number of interesting sessions coming up. I'm attending her Chocolate Chips biscuits, and Marble Cake classes this month. I know, one can easily get the recipes for choc chips biscuits from the internet and cookbooks. But I've tried before and found that the instructions given were not always that clear and easy to follow. I always failed at the 'creaming butter with sugar' step...never can get the result right one. So my biscuits either come out too soft, or they get 漏风 very very easily. I thought its time I get it right once and for all. Had thought I could bake some for my colleagues and friends during CNY. But now with all the projects coming up, I'm a bit hesitant leh. Sighzzz....but will still attend Valerie's classes. Cannot allow work to occupy my entire life, and I REALLY MISS BAKING!!!
Hmmm...what else can I blog about? Dating life is zilch, so nothing to elaborate on that. Have recently received some weird emails from a guy who saw my ad on the SDU website. Damn 无聊的家伙. Think I'm really starting to lose heart in finding the Significant Other. People kept assuring me I'll definitely get attached one, but I wonder how they know leh? I'm not so sure myself.....maybe there's something wrong with me. Seriously....Hai....but....I'm definitely not going to spend time thinking about this 渺小 issue lor. Have better and more important things to do. Even if I'm going to be single for a long time to come, then I might as well be a happy single woman. Others have done it before, and I'm sure I can manage it nicely too. Luckily still have good friends and colleagues around me....heh.
Yup, must 振作起来... 加油!

Nvm lah..At least U still have me to join U in the unattached group.. We can still play majong together.
Wa..seems like the workload from your new place is much more than your previous job...Hopefully I will not suffer the same fate as U :)
Seriously although my workload is like more than twice of what I have at my old office, the things that I'm learning each day is really quite fulfilling. I only hope that I have sufficient energy to see through everything..
Eh, I really hope one of us (you, me, ET and Corinni) will break this vicious trend and get attached quickly. We should always look forward to NOT being able to play mahjong every Christmas...haha.
Must keep us updated about the status of your new job hor.

Seems like my nudging on blogging has had its effect. Good! Anyway, glad to see you back here. I would like to blog as often as I like but so busy leh. Have not blogged much as I was knocked out by flu recently and weekends were power packed with events. So all my free time went to clearing the backlog housework. Still got some backlog to clear. Sigh...
Happy to see you finding time for baking again. If you got any goodies to share, you can alway pass it to my wife now lolz! For me, I miss cooking. Dunno why, but have not found time to cook since the end of last year and the start of 2007. Sure miss trying out new recipes...
As for your love life, when the right guy comes along, it will happen. Like you said, just enjoy singlehood. But that's no reason to rest on your laurels lah.
You take care hor. Don't burn out on us! :)
