Haven been blogging for a long time.. Have been working ove the past few days and it's really very very very tiring!!! Since Sunday, I have been working for the CommunicAsia 2005, an exhibition held at Raffles City Convention Centre. It's only for 5 days and that means tmr is my last day!!! Yea.. haven been working for a long time, tho tiring i enjoy the work alot!! Think i have grown up and improved much .. haa.. in terms of attitude and mentality, i dare to say i have matured!!! haaa... anyway my colleagues have been real fun and easy-going and yes we enjoy each other's companion. We worked as a group and haa... our chemistry was too good to be commented!!! Oh did i mention that i am actually the oldest in the team of temp staff??? haa.. ya... only me and another colleague are the same age while the rest are 1-2 years younger than me.. but not the slightest feeling of age catching up instead feels young with them cuz we had lotsa fun!!! hehe.. even my supervisor is younger than me manx.. but she's a contract staff there and gonna proceed to uni this coming august but she looks so experience lo..
Learnt so much during this short span of 5 days and they are the preclude to the working society which will begin in aug 15 for me. Had worked temp jobs before but this time round i do find it a valuable learning lesson from my supervisors and my fellow colleagues. And i think im quite cut for events line manx.. haa... perhaps can consider approaching this industry after audit... hmmm...
Anyway... today has been rather slack at the counters today and after lunch 10 of us have been lazing around the counters, stealing food from the refreshments tables for the delegates and chit chatting!!! haa... ya.. and made a great discovery - one of my colleagues is planning for marriage next year or latest the year following next!!! Really very happy for her!!! Felt like i was listening to a fairy tale and so envious that she found the first and only love of her life cuz it's too wonderful and sweet!!! They have been together for 6 years and have been saving up for their marriage under a joint account, had their goals in mind, common goals for the future and have been looking out for furniture and things necessary for their new home though it's still on the way!!There doesnt seem to be anything that can separate them. And they are the same age as me!! Yet they had it all planned. She said that she and her bf often discuss over their future and she feels that it foster bonding between the couple. Absolutely agreeable!!! BUt that's provided you have really found the one u wanna spend the rest of your life with. Happiness was written all over her and she's just too happy and yes she is really xing4 fu2, all 9 of us can even feel her happiness lo.. what can you say..
After hearing her fairy tale, there's so much that was going through my mind. I am even more clear of what i really want from my life partner and yes i am sure of what i want and how i should go about searching for one. I guess as one grows older, esp for a lady, as she grows up, expectations of her life partner change and it tends towards one who is mentally and physically more mature than her, can take care of her, be her shoulder to cry on in times of upsets and a shoulder to share happiness with, needs a man who knows how to treat a lady the right way, let her feel treasured, feel loved, feel being noticed and feel pampered (but not all the time, women sometimes cannot be overly pampered), let her feel being placed at the top of the priority list. And these are just the pointers i have been looking for and will continue to look for them, will only say yes if a guy has the above listed valuable traits. haa.. sounds stringent but these are just the basics that bfs ought to possess. Dont mean to sound sexist here but i must admit, in a contemporary society we are in whereby people are talking abt gender equality, there are still many limits posed on a lady. It's too taxing for a woman to be taking care of all matters for the bf all the time and she taking on the roles of a bf. No matter how ambitious a woman is, there's bound to be some xiao3 nu3 ren2 (literally mean little woman) desire in them, meaning to say, they wanna to be taken care of, like to whine to their loved ones, and feels pampered (BUT please dun over do it la, get super pissed off manx, even to girls). While listening to the wonderful fairy tale today, i feel even stronger that in a relationship, it is so important to give and take and accomodate each other. One party must be willing to take the lead and initiative and the other one must be willing to listen. A relationship is not about yourself alone - it involves inviting another person whom you have no absolute understanding into your life. And when talking about marriage, it involves alot of changes. In fact i think changes should begin to take place while dating. If you feel that you are not ready to let another person to enter into your life or you are not willing to sacrifice and make changes, please leave your partner alone and do not continue hurting him/her. Really amazed by how much i learnt today. I even earnt to be more tolerant at work today.. especially when you feel that you are not in the wrong. Haa.. i am rather bull-headed la.. so when i saw that happening to my colleague today and how she had handled it, i feel so guilty and learnt the lesson - rebuke only at the right moment and when is the right moment, use your own discretion. Sounds meaningless but i am sure you will understand it along the way and i am being to take these lessons to heart and kept them at the bottom of my heart from today onwards.
Yes another lesson learnt!!! my phone bill is a staggering SGD200 for the month of may!!! And because i had not paid for my bill in april, and that totals to $289... Arrgghhh... im gonna be so so so so broke for june!!! MAybe can consider having grass for meals ya.. Singapore is too green already.. $133 goes to my phone charges during the 5 days while i was in HK lo... Darn!!! I swear i didnt make many calls but the re-routing or whatever it is for IDD is just too ex already!!! The pay im getting for my 5 days of work is not even enough to pay my bills la!!! Gonna start work soon, which means i need clothes for the new life, but all my pay goes to bills and there's nothing much left for shopping, esp it's the GSS now.. DAME... Gonna think of the possibilities of digging money out... sponsors out there... did you see this??? doubt there's any in the first place la...
