Economy's bad. Real Bad. Quantity of projects have decreased dramatically at work. I cannot help but panic that one day I might be called into the manager's office and handed the red slip.
"I am sorry to let you go." *Gasp* Well, it's a legitimate worry when I have been drumming my fingers on the office desk everyday thinking how I should kill time from 8am-5pm. (Let's leave out the fact that I have been chatting on msn and surfing the internet...=p) I know...I know...I should take initiative and do something to impress my boss...but there is only so much you can do before you are called a brown noser. And I definitely do not know how to do so. If I were to give my boss a cup of coffee, I would probably have spilled it all over her =D

Oh, I am digressing. Anyway, I was asked to pass this test to be LEED certified. One of the hot things to do now in the green building industry. ( I do not, in any ways, know how this test is related to what I do...except that my manager has boasted to oh-so-many people in the company that someone in her office is going to be certified...so I really do not have an option of not taking it or failing it...). So last week has been a recap of my college life. Instant noodles. Coffee. Sleepless Nights. Early Mornings. Dirty Dishes. Papers piling everywhere. Gloomy Face. Bitch(as in me). Oh, I need to mention I am once again fascinated by the power of instant noodles that I went to wiki it. I need to pay a tribute to whoever invented instant noodles.

Ohh...I digressed again...Where was I...right....my test. Should I mention that I have more than a week to study because my manager was gracious enough to give me time to study during work hours...and I have many hours after work and free weekends too? But because I always ace the art of procrastination, I spent those free hours watching tv, sleeping, doing research on my upcoming vacation =D I could still hear J's constant naggings at me...."Dear....go study...dear...wake up...you have slept for 3 hours...you need to study." And like the usual me, I would just pout and give him the puppy look..."But...but...but..I still have time and and and I am so tired....can I just take a break?" =P Ok. Fine. Now I have spell everything out, I cannot blame anyone but myself for the crazy cramming week right? I deserve it. I put the pain upon myself.

But..............



I passed. God gracious! I passed!....I am still trying to register the news after 5 hours. My boss was so happy that she gave me the rest of the day off =p

Whew* I was close though. 178/200 and a min 170 is needed to pass the exam.
Whew Whew Whew*
At least all the "hard work" for the past week paid off. =D

And to reward myself from my "hard work"....shopping!
Summer is about to end.....time to stock up on some long cardigans! Yes, I love cardigans. Short, long, black, pink, red, white...I love them all =D

Oh...and time to clean the apt =( Bummer
Why the fuck do I ALWAYS have to please everyone. When I DON'T, I'm the bad guy. Shouldn't I have a stand in what I want or what I need? This is bullshit. 
Horrible horrible day...

May all the bad spells go away right away.

Becca is assigned to go to San Diego for a trade show next week that last for 2 whole days with a old male colleague that is around my Dad's age. So it's only sensible that I would be allowed to stay in a hotel and not spend 6 hours driving back and forth on these two consecutive days.


And oh boy, what encouraging and loving people I have around me that constantly make sure that I won't be any dumber than I am now.

Becca: says:i wonder if they are giving me hotel room
Becca: says:to stay on wed =)
J says:probably. just in case you are stupid, insist on separate room
J says:i can so see 'do u mind sharing' and then u think tom is old man and say ok
esther: haHHAHAHa quite true request your own rooom!!!!
esther: maybe u feeel bad that they rent out an extra room for u
J: HA
Becca: .....................@_@

What will become of me if I do not have these two wonda-ful peeps?
Maybe I will just sit there and rot and die because I am just such an airhead =D


Ladies and Gentleman,

Shall I take a moment of your time to introduce you to the next possible road rag-ger/hazard of Singapore? It's none other than our beloved hotheaded commander Miss Tee Ruiting.





Let us put our hands together and brave ourselves to prepare for her addition to this exciting and adventurous driving world.

And last and not least, Congratulations!!

I have...

Yelled at you all the time
Gave you silent treatment
Demanded to do everything my way
Insisted that I've got to get something
Made you walk under the sun
Chased you out of the apartment
Threatened you with a knife
Gave you countless headaches just because I was trying to pick a fight....

But I still have you...
And sometimes I wonder who sent you to me...



I thank you for all the sacrifices you have made.
