I just don't want to come to work....sigh.....I can't also not come to work.....sigh......I want MC for 2 months, anybody got any idea, how? Or anyone wanna help me break my hand or leg?

I'm still sick. Slowly recovering from flu. Irritating, very irritating! I hate sounding like i'm talkin thru my nose. Irritating!

World Cup fever has hit the household! Besides Kumar being addicted to it, another member of the family has also got the kicks in football...who else but darling boy Kenny! Bought him a football jersey....hahaha.... :)

I first bought him the Brazilian one on Friday and but the size was quite small so Kumar got it changed it to a Argentian one on Sunday. He looks great in both! And he loves it! :)

He looks very cute in it, doesn't he! I actually wanted to get one for Tiger but no size. Tiger is very big now. A bit scary la...hehehe...

Jude Xavier weds Clara Shanti -17 June 2006

Aaahh....Back to Work...I'm so pre-occupied with work nowadays. I don't enjoy my weekends anymore. My brain is full of work...its cluttered....I should change my mindset soon and forget about work during the weekends....sigh....Help anyone?

Finally, one of my best friends, got hitched on Saturday. I was waiting for this day for the past 2 years and finally I watched her walk down the aisle as the beautiful blushing bride! Clara's wedding was the first church wedding I ever attended and it was very very beautiful. Almost make you wanna cry...I did la, after seeing Clara's father wipe away his tears while the ceremony was going on. So sad...

Clara was looking all pretty and lovely. So was Xavier, he actually looked handsome for once. Maybe the wedding glow huh...hehehe....They are such a perfect match.....Simple Made For Each Other....
This is my Favourite Pic from their wedding studio shots. :)

And after don't know how many donkey years later, I prayed in a church...hehe...Good girl huh Kethrine...hehehe... Went for the wedding dinner in the evening with my mum and Kumar. Kumar came late after playing a soccer match....asshole....but he did come and dropped us at home. He was looking good as well for once. But I just didn't like the pink shirt.....eesh....not my fancy but he liked it and wanted to wear....*rolls eyes*

Donations please...to buy clothes...hehehe...

I see my stress level going up up up...work is getting more and more shitty....things are not going according to plan, a lot of cock-ups here and there.....

Like Adrian would say, its not an exercise if there's no cock-ups...sigh...

I managed to get Alex, the NCS helpdesk guy to help me install my digicam software at my office pc...hehehe...now I can upload the pics here itself...hehehe...I just uploaded the pics I took of Kenny when Kumar brought him to my place on Saturday.

I need clothes! I badly need clothes!! I cleaned my wardrobe over the weekend and its pathetic. I'm practically wearing the same thing to work every week...

Let's see, I need..
-another 6 or 7 tops
-2 more pants
-1 more skirt
-and maybe a dress or 2

I have an abundance of punjabi suits and sarees so that's not a problem. I know what I'm gonna do. I'll just wait till the end of the year and splurge my money on clothes in the year-end sales and I would have a new set of clothes for the new year.....Yippie! :)

B.B.B

Finally some time to blog....

What's been cooking so far.....

I took one day leave on Friday for a short break before hell breaks loose. Went to JB with Leamathi and my mum. Had a small pampering session...that was good....

My home PC broke down...wonderful...and I'm still deciding whether to get it fixed. Either that or I've got to just buy a new CPU. Anyone know anywhere cheap?

Damn, why did it have to break down just after I signed for a 2-yr Maxonline plan with Starhub....shit.....

Went for a international buffet at Orchard Hotel yesterday for the farewell lunch for Dr Mak. The food was ok, not that fantastic....they say its international buffet but there wasn't any pizza or spaghetti...sigh...but there was Naan and I had a fufilling share of it! :)

I've been a BIG BUSY Bitch trying to prepare for D-Day. I have less than a month for my exercise to start and everything has to be done concurrently and everything's important.....ARGH!!!!

Words of A 'Wise' Man: Don't Plan Ahead....

Kumar and I had 'The Talk'.....No, not the sex talk.....The marriage talk....

After a few rounds of talking and arguing and analysing the situation, Kumar has come to a solution.

So this is it:

Kumar will be going to India next year to visit his parents and he breaks the news about us to them....I wonder how they are going to react. Maybe they might threaten to kill and make him marry a girl of their choice over there or maybe they would drug him and get him to married to one of his cousins. Or maybe they would just get mesmerised by my beauty and agree to the wedding...hahaha....ya rite...Anyway I don't think so there's gonna be a problem with that but still my well-wishers out there, pray for me...not now, next year when I tell u too. :) Then we'll have our ROM, either in end 2007 or early 2008, then the wedding's in either end 2009 or early 2010.

Kumar was sayin that we shouldn't plan for anything. We should go with the flow and see how things turn out. He quote example somemore -"See your mother's birthday. She plan so early and now things cock up and you have to change the date. Troublesome ok. So we will plan when it comes nearer to the time."

I can clearly see what's going to happen. Kumar's gonna tell me a few months before the actual thing and I'm going to be running around crazy, rushing to get things done.....Perfect......

Maybe like he says, I shouldn't plan ahead. I'm not going plan that I'm going to marry Kumar. I'll just go with the flow and maybe I'll be able to marry a rich man when the time comes....cool.....

06.06.06

I've been wanting to blog but I've been swamped with stuff - at work and at home....and things aren't going on the smooth side...

Preparations for the P1 registration is driving me nuts. I have sooo many things to do and I'm having a hard time trying to prioritise them coz everything is important and the unearthly deadlines are getting on my nerves!!

My wonderful minister just informed us that we have reprint the applications coz he thinks that some words used in the forms are pretty harsh! That would be 116,600 forms to be re-printed! Oh hell! And we have to get the forms and other logistics materials out to the school by the end of next week. Damn Damn Damn!!

116,600 forms-7 different colours-3 days..I pity the printers....

Been changing the dates on my mum's invitation cards for her birthday.I'm quite clumsy when it comes to pasting things and trying to place that tiny of piece of paper correctly is a BIG BIG problem for me! I still another 100 invitations to go. And my mum wants to send out the invitaitons by mid next week. Wow, another deadline......

And oh ya, Its 06.06.06....

Baldy's leaving...

I've slightly recovered from my flu but I still sound bad. My colleagues still can't understand what i'm saying and I gotto repeat my sentences again for them...sigh...

Dr Mak told me yesterday that he's leaving.....he's going back to teaching again....damn...I feel so sad. He is really a very nice AD.....working for him as his PA was such a pleasure....I'm really gonna miss him a lot.

Even though its annoying that he always looks for me for everything, he was still a wonderful boss. He takes a stool and sits beside me and tells me clearly what he wants and how he wants it...No other higher management does that, not even Kok Kwang, my unit head. They just briefly say what they want and I'm supposed to produce what they want to them. He was soooo friendly, sooo patient and sooo understanding.

And he was always bringing me out for lunch....yes, i'm gonna miss those free lunches and the rides in his BMW. Seriously, I'm gonna miss a lot lot...I wonder if the new AD might be as nice as him or the exact opposite of him like my DD...sigh....Serene told me that he was the one who fought for my promotion....sigh...

He told us that he's gonna go back to NTU. I told him that if he ever needs to recruit a PA, i'm there for him and if there was any vacancies over at his side, i told him to keep me informed. I would love to work under him again.

I wanna get a personal farewell gift. But what can I get for a guy whose has a Phd, is single and drives a BMW? I'm cracking my head over it and I hopefully wanna get something that he would remember that its from me. I thought of getting him a tie...but....any suggestions from anyone?
