Yesterday was the FIRST time i spent halloween.
And yes it was at Treetops.
Goodness, that was like sooo fantastic.
Okay i know its work related and yes i had to work till late.
but still...

I had to:
1. Administer the Simon says game (The kids were seriously so cute when they played this game!)
2. Assist in the best dressed competition (The kid who won wore a witch costume with blood dripping down her face)
3. Bring the children around for Trick or treat

I have to tell you it was so fun because all the expats kids were so enthusiastic about everything!
The screamed ... they were excited and its so fun being with them.
Every kid dressed so nicely and they took everything seriously!
Almost everyone had a costume.
There were witches, pumpkins, faries and even 2 little mermaids.
Some families even decorated the outside of their apartment with cute pumpkin doorbells and there was a big carved pumpkin!
Many also volunteered to open their apartment for trick or treating and were so happy handing out candy!

The part i love most was bringing the children around!
They  were so excited i tell you
and when the families handed out candy everyone was screaming like crazy.

The little mermaid wanted me to carry her ..
and i did throughout the whole trick or treat.
she and her sister were so sweet.
the elder sister even helped her hold her pumpkin bucket full of candy and helped her sister get candy.
if im not wrong they are spanish.
sweet little kids i tell you.

AHHHHHH...
looking at the photos make me think of halloween again.
goodness it was so fun =))))

PS: samuel im so sad you were not there.he's my favourite baby and he went out in his batman suit for halloween with his moms friend for a halloween party...

Im sitting by my computer on a lovely Saturday afternoon trying to start on my assignment
time flies honestly when im studying and working
i started school on 15th september which seems like yesterday
but my assignment is due in less than 2 weeks and my exam is in 2 weeks time.
this is awfully scary
i know i have to hold on and perservere.
i was pretty stressed out the pass week
and there were negative thought in my head
this module is so tough to me
i was thinking what if i dont do well.
then i realise,
i dont have a choice
this is a path ive chosen
no one forced me
i know that i HAVE to do well
so yes i will

work has been ok so far.
ive been eating well at the company
and yes ive put on weight.
oh yes and snacking
ive influenced my colleagues to snack.
and all of them have been blaming me for their weight gain.
but when im so stressed i just eat.

on to my assignment i guess.........

 

My close colleague in the exec office gave me this gift to cheer me on because i started school.
and yes i was super touched!
Thanks dear jie jies! =)


The things that keep me wanting to go to work everyday despite the difficulty of it all.
me wanting to say 'i cannot do it anymore'
me wanting to give up.
its not easy..
rushing to school then ending class at 10am,
then reaching home at 11.30pm
waking up at 6am the next morning.
the tutorials...the assignments..
my upcoming exams
i feel so tired.
but my colleagues have been good to me.
i know that they are cheering me on.
one reason for me not wanting to give up my job is the fact that i met the coolest colleagues

 

The day i have been anticipating is over!
All the preparations
the packing of the goodie bags
i guess like everything else, all is worth it.
the skit was over in the blink of an eye
and i could think that i was dreaming when i was acting actually
my colleagues asked me if i was in drama club as they think i am a drama mama
well...
i at least i made the children laugh
i know i forgot a few lines
but at least it wasnt awkward
all was well
i know i was a totally ungentle Chang Er
haha

i totally enjoyed the lantern pocession where me and hou yi got to lead and bring the children around the company with their lighted lanterns.
this was the time where i starting interacting a lot with the children
talk and laugh with them
making sure they were enjoying themselves.
i was actually quite glad that they asked if this celebration was a one day thing or if it would be spread over the weekends
this meant that they were enjoying themselves.
i made many new friends
little kids...

theres lucas this totally cute little boy who happily opened the present he won and told me he would play with the game immediately when he got to his apartment. He also happily showed me the mooncake he made
then theres little samuel who allowed me to carry him to take a photo (okay 2 in fact)
then theres sweet little annabel who stuck to me throughout the night...
her little sister and her brother
oh and not forgetting this cool guy thomas...haha
i love these children

my makeup was really dramatic though.
LOL
my lovely colleague did it for me

the night ended great...
with uncle thomas driving us to lau pa sat for supper where we had chicken wings, satay, oyster omelette, char kuay theow and sambal sting ray

after all the preparations come the big day
and all you know is that everything
all the tears were worth it

i anticipate the time when the new chapter of my life will start...
15 september to be exact
one full week of lectures.
monday to sunday after work
i really hope i can cope.
and i know i must be strong
ahhhh
sacrifices....

i am absulutely happy that i received a letter from SIM stating that i have gotten into the course i wanted.
when i called previously to check everything out before applying
i was warned that this very course would be a very intensive one.
but i told myself that i would take up the opportunity
because there was nothing to lose
okay maybe only my sleep, my weekends
but there is definitely something to gain.
i wanted it so much
and god has given this opportunity to me
the chance to study as well as work at the same time
my mum has asked me to quit my job and to just study as she is afraid that i would be too tired
but i told her that i would not do that now
because i told myself that i had to at least try this for a while
no matter how hard it gets
before i decide to quit.
i know it will not be easy because i was told the first week of the module will be 7 times a week.
but what is easy?
nothing is and i know that.
if i know that this is best route for me to take
then i will take it
no matter what
at least i know i tried.

work is getting hectic.
ive been going home late thse few days.
hopefully it gets better when i start school
which is soon.
where i have to rush to school after work and skip dinner
thinking of it makes me feel apprehensive
i know that i have to be strong

 

Just got back not long ago from Marina Square ..
We had this inter department Treetops bowling tornament.
i started out really unsure of myself as bowling is not really my forte..
i was so afraid of how people might view me when i started to bowl
but with the encouragement, cheering and support from my colleagues,
i learnt how to bowl
and i even striked all 10 pins once!
i was so proud of myself.
i know if i really want to do something
i can.

after the torunament and screaming
we caught the fireworks outside marina.
it was fantastic!
it must have cost so much for the organisers 
then it was home sweet home with my colleague sending me home

i must say i am very lucky to be working in this company
sometimes when i feel overwhelmed by the workload
and stressed
i think of all the things i am given
all the opportunities i have
all the friends i have made
and im sure that i aint quitting so soon

thats all i know

Live is great at the moment.

Mondays-Fridays: Working 5 days, teaching piano once a week
Saturdays and sundays: waking up late and online shopping

I love my collegues.
I had to go for a medical checkup yesterday which took so long thus i didnt go for lunch
and...
my collegues knew i didnt take lunch and bought me my favourite 'suan mei' drink, char shao bao and butter cake fearing that i would be hungry.
We always have so much fun in the office.
Laughing and joking till our stomachs hurt.
Teasing each other.
Helping each other
caring about each other
and not forgeting going out together.

We have gone out twice previously.
and agreed on a date each month after we get our pay where we will splurge on food and shopping
we have gone twice...
once eating ramen at far east and shopping till our feet hurt & 
another eating at waraku at marina and joking for a few hours

i believe in working hard and playing hard
and incorporating fun into work
i cannot possibly work in a quiet environment and im glad that my collegues share this same view.
we look like crazy people everytime we go out together
laughing so much that people stare wondering what is so funny.

waking up is not so dreadful after i try to enjoy my work...

my previous task was to dress up and get made up as a chinese bride and take photos with guests...
and my next task....
to dress up as changer for a play and phototaking sessions...
my HR manager told me i am chosen to dress up as different characters for different occassions...
which include one as a witch for halloween and as santarina for christmas...
they joked that this could be my possible portfolio if i ever want to join mediacorp.
and yes...
i feel honoured =)

this is sucha random post

Life is too fragile
today you may be great
but the next you are falling
and you dont know what is happening

Take time to admire the things around us.
all the little ones that make what this world is
take time to breathe
and to smile
try to stay positive at all the trials that come your way
because you have to remember that you are not the one worse off.
theres always someone suffering more

Take time to remember your family and friends
for they are the ones who will stand by your side
the good times or the bad
the sadness or the joy
the ones who cheer with you
the ones who wipe away your tears....

OH MY GOODNESS
I CANT BELIEVE THIS...
But suddenly, I just miss Shanghai so much.
all the memories are just etched in my mind and will stay there for a lifetime.
i love shanghai.
really =(

I realise that when i take time to smile
and laugh at work
things arent so bad.
in fact i am happy.
i wanna enjoy what i do
and when i look around me at times
and i realise that i am so fortunate
i know that i have to be contented with what i have
i am happier
i smile more
i am very very lucky

i know this is a little overdue...
but these are pictures of me after my makeover on 18july !
me and two others got chosen to get a makeover as traditional brides to take photos with the guests =)

Before:          After:  


although i smiled so much my mouth hurt,
i was so honestly happy! =)))
