31/12/09 - The Last Day
Last day of the year. Last year of the decade. WELCOME 2010.
No.. I'm not starting with "Time flies" or anything related to it. It's a fact that isn't worth to mention so many times about it.
Anyway, year 2009 has been a great one. Tried picking up new sports and skills.
New try-outs:
Indoor Rock Climbing (tried one session, organised by company)
Inline blading (also one session, by company)
Aerobics (10 sessions, by company)
Ceramic Art Pottery (12 sessions, at some CCs)
Almost get to try out Aikido, organised by company also.. Free somemore.. got myself registered.. But one problem. I got stuck in the office!! Need to OT and hence, cant go for the evening sessions (2 free sessions). Wat a waste... hai... nvm.. next time will have others..
The Board actually have quite a number of interesting courses, got bollywood dance, belly dance, wine tasting, mooncake making.. lotsa CC activites like tat.. and it's mostly conducted at the rooms in the board.. so.. I guess, they did quite a good job in getting staff to participate in it. At least, I'm interested.. Not like everyday go office and work.. There's play as well.. Somewhat of a Work-Life balance i guess...
Hmm.. this year, I'm supposed to pick up a musical instrument. Wanted to try my fingers on a music piece, to complete a classical song. But my pianist friend.. too busy to do a crash course for me.. So maybe push to next year...
Nevertheless, I self-learnt and practiced my uke.. Shamelessly recorded some videos for self-entertainment.. Decided to share some I considered 可以见人的作品...
Next. Resolution.
Every year, I try to pen down my resolutions. But then, couple of things i wanted to do has been much procrastinated. As such, no accomplishments made. Darnz!
So, this upcoming 2010, I shall make mine sweet and simple. Afterall, if the resolutions made too over the mountain hard to reach target, then it is not practical resolutions liao. So, sweet and simple is good enough. So here it is:
1) To have more money to spend (hopefully the 'lucky draw' that I had submitted can help me gain some kachings.. ^__^)
2) To take up more activities organised by my company - Afterall it's subsidized and it helps gain points to our empire's 'CCA points'. So, it's a win-win thing. Why not?
3) To go for more external courses - Also, wanted to find a course that coincide with what Peishi's empire having. So we can attend course together.. perhaps at Civil Service College.. Hehe..
4) To travel to at least 2 countries in 2010! In 2009, managed to went South Korea and JB... This 2010, not including JB, I want to go venture other countries. Actually already have plans for Shanghai in May 10 and Bangkok in Nov 10.. But all in the talkings.. Not really firmed up yet.. *fingers crossed...
5) To stay healthy and maintain my youth - Tis yr, I had been rather sick and injured here and there.. Not so healthy.. Nx yr, will try to keep fit and stay healthy.. Then maintaining youth.. Go for botox? Haha.. Still young.. At this moment, still need not.. So expensive also.. But who knows ah.. Hard to say..
6) To try out waxing! Haha.. Surprise surprise.. I wanted to go try some intimate waxing. Muahaha.. No more indepth details..
7) To go for more water sports - Sports and Candice does not go well together. As such, Candice hasnt been doing her sports. Always say wanted to have an open water certificate but again, NATO (no action talk only) nia.. So.. hopefully someone jio me and crash some kachings in, then in order not to waste the investment, will go guai guai attend sessions.. haaha..
8) Cut time spent in Cafe World. Ok. It's a repetitive game. Yet, Candice is having 2 accounts playing.. Cooking and cooking and serving and serving. So boring game. Why am I so addicted? In fact, to cut short of time spent on FB... It really suck up most of my time spent at home... Facing computer at work and home.. Basically I only have less than 8 hours away from computer. The other 16 hours are on the square screen.. OMG... I suddenly feel so 宅女...
9) To be happier.
10) Less stress at work.
11) More outings with friends.
12) More salmon feasting.
13) Less deep fried oily food.
Wow.. Type and type.. It's becoming a long list.. Longer than I expected.. Hehe..
K la.. The last few hours of the decade. To all out there, Happy 2010~

12/12/2009
It's been a while.. i know.. missed out one month without blogging.. even my yawning icon also gone cos inactive account.. opps... Had been busy at work these days.. Busy is good.. That means I'm needed in the organisation.. Done off with annual appraisal.. I supposed my sup, my middle boss and my big boss all mostly said the same thing.. 'as a new staff, you had done well and satisfied wif your performance yadda yadda yadda'... To me, I was thinking, I am new staff meh? already one yr liao.. Anyway, i thought i could have performed better, cos my potential limit has yet to unleash.. muahaha.. Well, hopefully next yr will be a more fruitful and challenging one..
Bonus finally got in. Said to be the least compared to the previous years.. I finally get entitled to non-pro rated bonus and yet, due to recession and all, little has been given to us.. but then 有花生吃好过没花生吃。。。 So.. looking forward to Feb/Mar where our annual PB come in.. hope more pay raise.. =)
Christmas! Yes, another 2 weeks' time. Time flies ah... I tink every entry I always say it (time flies).. But i suppose, depends on how one uses their time.. Anyway, Christmas has long started wif bling bling lights lighting up in mid Nov.. Tis yr, I have yet to go town to experience the christmas mood... See the decor and all.. Dun have the mood.. Candice din really feel much abt Christmas.. It's a day where we get to work halfday one day b4.. and a day to rest..
Have you all check out Google Map? It seems like rather scary.. Why? Cos the view of a place is at Street View.. Huh? Okay, for example, for private houses (Terrace houses), just type out the address and tada, a clear view of the specific house. It's somewat infringing ppl's privacy.. or rather, able to be a stalker or worse, terrorist.. But it's fun as well.. I went on a virtual tour back to Perth, when i visited in 2007.. Tour the roads and all.. Hay Street, Murray Street etc.. Memories flooded back.. Maybe next time can try 'touring' other countries...
Going for musical!! It's been long since I went for a musical.. This yr went for Broadway Comedy.. but musical, tml's will be the first and last for this yr.. Not budgeted for.. LOLz..
Well.. blogged abit liao.. I will try as much to update.. =)
