Debit, Credit, Ledger, Payables, Receivables, Holding accts, Closing Balance, Opening Balance, Cash Advance, Retail Banking, etc. These are the banking/finance terms that i've always been struggling with and have absolutely no interest in them and i've not forgotten how much i hated them. I've been telling myself that i'll be free from all these after 3 yrs but i find myself back here dealing with all these unfriendly and daunting terms again. I realised how much i disliked them just 2 days after I started work. Or maybe i'm just too used to pretty offices on high floors that i was kinda turned off when i stepped into this office. Management's not efficient as well. Till now they've yet to issue me my access card!! Can't go to the toilet, gotta stand at the door every morning to wait for someone to open the door for me, ugly computers, aging population. I think i'm just too pampered by MSD. High floor, pretty office, big tables, nice computers, executive toilets and friendly young people. Comparisons really do make people crazy I know.

Do miss working with Andrea and Phoebe so much. I start to think that it's actually not that i'm a fast learner, it's all because Andrea and Phoebe gives very good and clear instructions and has taught me very well unlike this current gal whom I've gotta learn from. Not forgetting the forever super nice and sweet Clarisa who gives me my access card so promptly and takes care of other needs. I miss all of you so much!!

First day of work. Nothing special, nothing much to talk about. And I kinda missed MSD though. The people in MSD are definitely much warmer and friendlier. Oh well, will see how things goes in the next couple of days. Right now, i look forward to 6.30pm everyday so that i can escape into my fantasy world with ahboy/family away from the realistic world from 9-630. Argh.

Went for Sis's Hen's party while the guys went for bro-in-law's Bachelor's party on sat. Ahboy became one of bro-in-law's bestmen due to some unforeseen circumstances. So smart of him to get all the husband/bfs of sis's jiemeis to be his xiong dis. How smart! He's so confident that the jiemeis wun have the heart to do anything too disastrous to their husband/bf so they weren't even the least worried. I tink he's so right about this point after seeing for myself how the gals are so protective of their other half. I'm no exception actually. Hah! My ahboy leh! So looking forward to Sis's wedding!!

What happened at the Hen's party was actually quite fun though it got bro-in-law so upset. Saw for the first time what a willy cake is and how it looks like. Quite obscene though and cannot really understand the pleasure derived out of it. Enjoyed the company of sis's funny friends and the 'torturous' plans the jiemeis came up with. Fun!

Happy 2 mths dear!
Cheeky ahboy refused to tell me where he's bringing me for dinner no matter how hard I tried to force it out of him. He learnt fast and now he's able to keep surprises to himself. Good job boy! So i attempt to make guesses along the way. All he said was, take ECP lor. -_-! Ok, first guess, Suntec? Bugis? No he didn't filter left for the Rochor exit. Next, maybe Vivo. Thought I was right when he made his way to the Telok Blangah exit but no! he didn't turn into the Vivo carpark and instead he was looking for the Harbourfront centre carpark. Smart me instantaneously made my final and correct guess.
It was the SkyDining.

Really love this surprise that sweet ahboy gave me. It's gonna leave me diabetic for quite some time. Love his i-wanna-tell-but-i-cannot-tell-so-pls-dun-force-me-anymore look when i tried to trick him into telling me his plan. Thanx dear for everything and most imptly, for appearing and entering into my life and taking care of me. Love you!

Dear Student, The following News item(s) have been added to your personal message list: 1. BBEF and BDEFT Schedules for Class Commencing in July/August 2007 - URGENT
When I see that i was feeling quite sad actually. I no longer have to check out my timetable. No more school. No more travelling so far everyday. No more working in the morning and rushing back to get the car and head to school in the afternoon. No more slacking outside LT. No more crapping during break. No more going for lunch after school.

It's the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Stepping out into the working society. Will be starting work next Monday at OCBC. Really hope everything will turn out well. Please dun give me sucky colleagues. That's all I ask for.

Met up with the usual a10 peeps for dinner. Main purpose was to meet Ms Mak before she gives birth. Nice crapping with them and had a good laugh. Should meet up with my friends more before I start work. Come to think of it, I've not met the SAC gals for quite some time and I kinda miss them. HEY GALS! SHALL WE MEET UP?
Usual a10 peeps with our all time favourite and beloved cher!

I've FINALLY gotten a new blogskin! All thanks to my super smart ahboy! Have been such a procrastinator. Forgotten when was the last time i said i wanna learn html to change my blogskin. Love this new skin so much! And that's young Jasmine if you're wondering. And to think he said he knows neither html nor photoshop. Hmm.. So I must admit ahboy is smarter den me? Bleah.

Anyway, started my morning with ahboy sending me to ocbc centre for my first interview. It was not too bad and hopefully i'll get the job. Wish me luck!

It's been so long since i blogged considering the previous entries were all done by ah boy. The last post done by myself was about a month ago. Didn't have the mood to blog and also didn't know where and what to start with. So this will be quite a long post containing random events that comes to mind which i was supposed to blog about in this past month.

Time really flies and I've completed my 3 yrs of uni life. Took the last examination which ended on 9th May. There were indeed mixed feelings while i took the paper. That marks the end of my schooling life if nothing goes wrong. I know i'll miss school. Every bit of it. On the other hand, what if i can't get thru the last hurdle? I really didn't dare think about it. I know very well that I didn't study well enough to pass this time so i really need alot of luck which i'm afraid i've used them all up for the earlier 5 sems. I fear the arrival of 6th June. If only good things doesn't have to come to an end.

On a happier note, really thankful to have found ah boy. Always trying his best to make me happy. Making surprise visits with food knowing i needed them when i was alone at home mugging. Being thoughtful and sensitive to my needs and those surprises he gave really left me diabetic. The biggest surprise would be the handphone he bought for me. Really didn't expect that. It must be the complaining of how my phone cannot take pictures anymore and how i'm so in love with this new samsung phone. The next thing i know, sweet dear has already secretly planted it under my pillow! Thanx so much dear!
And as promised, I shall help ah boy advertise on my blog though he's shy about it. Lol. Cute ah boy's daddy has actually printed namecards for him to distribute to his friends but till now the stack appears to remain intact. Hence, angel jasmine has decided to do him a favour. =)


I hope ah boy will not murder me for this.

Next up would probably be the grad trip i went with the BDEFT mates to Bangkok last thurs on the 10th just after our last paper. It was quite rush and I only packed my bag the night before after catching spiderman with sisters, bro-in-law and ah boy. I felt it's quite a gd show. Dear stayed over so he can send me to the airport the next morning without having to wake up earlier. Met up with the other 11 peeps and off we start our holidays! A pity Eunice and Junling couldn't join us if not it would have been a complete gang.
The 12 of us at Changi International Airport.

Some random pics.

Took quite alot of pics but i'm quite lazy to upload them here.(Visit Donald's blog for more details)
All in all i would say it's a pretty enjoyable trip minus the overwhelming shopping and waiting time. I wasn't really that keen in going Bangkok in the first place cos i'm not a shopping person. I went mainly because of the companions. Mummy was so right that given my character, I would come back with many complains about a certain someone during the trip. However, I would proudly say that i've changed to be alot better than how i was like when i was younger. Though i may be still as bad but i'm learning to tolerate. True enough, there was indeed some unhappiness with a certain someone, but that did not stop me from enjoying myself. It's always the case whereby you get to know a person better when you go on trips and living together. It's important to find friends whom you can get along with and during this trip, I found Jinny and Ernest. Of cos there are somemore whom i can click with but i spent most of the time in Bangkok with the 2 of them esp Jinny, my roommate for the 4 nights. She's one really really sweet and thoughtful friend one could ever have. Knowing i'm afraid of sleeping near the empty bed although i didn't even tell her, she volunteered to take that side of the bed. Knowing i'm afraid to be on my own, she volunteered to accompany me. I was really quite lucky to be sharing the same room with her. She is indeed one sweet girl. Was really quite touched when she got me something when she was with her parents. Thanx so much gal! Will not forget the times we spent together in bangkok. How we slpt till 11am refusing to wake up despite the many phone calls, how we eventually decided to wake up and make our way to MBK and worrying if the cab driver will bring us to our destination and how we had phobia seeing Platinum mall each time we passed by there. Those are the memories i'll take with me. Each overseas trip, you'll make friends or enemies but this time, i made more friends than enemies which i'm glad i did.
Now i'm so thankful that we're all finally back safe and sound. After hearing all the bombings and chaotic situations in Bangkok, i was very worried throughout the trip that i'll not be able to make it home. Everyday right from the first day i reached bangkok i missed all my loved ones back here. You can't imagine how happy i was upon seeing them all at the airport waiting for me. And to think mummy tried to collaborate with ah boy to tell me that all of them had forgotten i'm coming back so they didn't come and pick me and told me to take a cab home. Initially i took her words for it although she didn't sound very convincing on the phone and also ah boy didn't reply when i msged him i'm back. So disappointed me thought i'll just take a cab home. BUT!!! Was really really happy the whole lot of them came!! All those faces smiling at me - Mummy, daddy, ah boy, my 2 lovely sisters and my bro-in-law! Everyone came!! I'm just such a fortunate girl surrounded with many people who loves and dotes on me.
Back to reality. Experiencing the phase that every graduate has to go through. Looking for a job. Felt really bad sis has to go through so much trouble to get me a suitable job. Really touched that she's so concern about my future and when i heard from little sis that she told her she felt guilty for pushing me into this course that's why she's trying her best to get me something I like now, my heart melt. Da jie, i really dunno how to express my gratitude. i really really appreciate your efforts in taking care and always giving the best for both me and mei. I cried not because you're harsh on me but because I'm really touched and have no idea wad i can do to make you proud of me. Not mainly because I'm lost but because i'm very fortunate to have you as my sister. I always feel bad when i can't give you the answers you wanted. I know it's tough on you and i've not been trying hard. I promise I'll work hard so your efforts will not go to waste. Love you alot!
There are a few major events which i really look forward to now before i really start my working life. First on the list shall be sis's ROM at Rasa Sentosa on 3rd June. Next will be the wedding banquet on 10th June not forgetting the dreaded results day on 6th June. Whether or not I will enjoy myself will depend on this day. Next up will be my birthday celebration with ah boy in Bintan which my dear ah boy planned for me. Following which will be the family outing at Sentosa chalet in Aug. This June will be such an eventful month but please dun let it pass so fast. I know escapism wun work and soon it'll be back to reality.
