New look for our Living Room

Took a day of leave from work to paint the house. Yesterday, my mum alr painted half of the living room. Today is my turn to help out to paint the rest of the wall. Woke up early in the morning. I was such a nice day, which is not a working day for me.

My mum n me shifted the furniture. They r heavy! Especially the cabinet for TV. Only now, I realized that my hands are not that strong... How to make them stronger? Exercise n train more? I need to start a plan, thus I will be stronger.

Before I start work, I make sure that the radio is switched on. Seems so fun, to paint the house and at the same time listening to songs! I am all covered up, with the plastic head cover and apron, torn socking on my hands and legs, to prevent from the stains.

Happily set off to work, while my mum does her chores. Felt that I am quite slow, after an hr plus, I am tired and I onli managed to paint a small wall. Was there sittin down to rest while listening to 933.

Thinking... I am quite silly huh, taken leave to paint the house, so tired. If in office, there would be air-con and jus sittin infront of the computer. Though tired, I enjoyed this day and felt glad that I am painting the house now.

While so tired, I turn around to look at the other wall that my mum painted yesterday, they looked so nice, thus I buck up... Her hands alr ached from yesterday painting. I onli painted from a few hours, mine ached as well. It was not an easy job.

Found another way to paint without exerting too much strength of the hand. That is to take the roller and put it on the wall, nect to jump up and down. Very fast would paint the wall, at the same time exerxising. lol.

Finally, in the late evening, we finished with the painting of the whole living room! Dead tired and hungry. Hands and legs ached, no more strength le and with stains on my face and body.

Rest for a while and help in the cleaning... There are so much dust on the cabinet. It is more tedious to paint the house than running 2.4km in the stadium ah.

Braving thr the challenge...

Past few days were some stressful day at work!

Monday, had a con-call in the morning that trained my tolerance n patience. Communication, that was an art. Some ppl, when they don understand something or when their ideas did not get across, they would vent our all their frustration, without knowing that this irritated those who are invloved.

The reason why there is a need for communication is becaouse as some pointers are not clear and ppl don understand. If both party are so tensed up, things cannot be communicated and it would be a meaningless discussion, plus a waste of time.

Tuesday, was there rushing one of the report, which I only have an understanding of 40%. Things were messy, files missing, thus it was so hard to follow the steps thr to generate the reports. Rushing for time n accurate of data... Questions asked by countries, but I am not able to answer them, as I don noe what they want?

My col was on study leave... Required some input from my col in order to proceed on. I felt super stress. In the noon, I really felt like packing up n go. But, I noe that if I jus go off, later I got to face more things and things would not be solved. Trying to clam myself down to work thr it.

There was a meeting about the matrix of this report. Asked about how thse were being calculated. Just took over this rpt and still on the path to understand them... which made me felt super bad when I cant answer them and the main person is not there in the meeting...

Wednesday, still there rushing for the report. From yesterday n today, found some data generated were not correct, thus causing problems... Certain moments, I really wanted to scold! But, within me there were ohter thoughts: ppl do make mistakes, it's okie, they also don want this to happens, jus that they are not careful enough... and this ease my angriness.

The things needed were in such a mess! If things are set out right, it would be quite fast for this report generation. Really thr throughout the whole situation. With pending stuffs and backlog to clear. A bit more to go, hopefully tom, I can finished up with this rpt.

Felt so tired after work... But, was delighted when I see the haze clearing... Wishing for shopping, running or a swim in the clean air and fine weather.

Had a dream that I was in a singing audition, the lady reprintmented me that I did not take my mic correctly. She taught me the correct way to hold the mic, that it should be abt 2cm, which is 2 fingers away from my mouth.

We are in a room, it looked like a room in a normal HDB flat. I am the first one, but we are there setting up the system and testing the mic. In my dream I was thinking, I should wont make it for this singing... Don think so much le, and just sing, thus wait for the result.

When it was finally the time for me to sing, there were a lot of ppl queeing outside the room and, I heard a HP melody. My phone rang! It was 7.15am and somebody called me. Ai yah, ai yah... Y not wait till I sang then call me? I wanted to know how I fair... lol.

Such an interesting dream... After that, I was rushing for work. Getting late alr! 2day I was feeling so moody in the morning... When I think of work, my energy level dropped to the lowest. It is not bcos of anything that make me PC, but is that I just don feel good.

It was only till lunchtime that my mood slowly brighten up. Went suntec for lunch and there was Iora sale! Tired on a skirt and a top. Yap, I bought the skirt and I quite like it. Later, to rushed back to office for a meeting at 1300.

Wosh... I was late. Came back at 1.05pm. Lucky that they had not start the meeting yet. i was there sittin on my seat, later a col came n called me. They had alr went in the room and was waiting for me... Hurried in the room.

The meeting, started off with my report. The main person asked me any problems? I replied No, and that things are okie. N that's it for my part. Everybody was there laughing. Jus now, I hurriedly grap a chair into the room but within a minute, I am done with my report.

This laugh really brighten up my day. All sad emotions disappear into thin air! Must really find things to make me happy, thus, I would not felt moody. What can make me laugh everyday? I must go and find that!

It's Sunday!

Woosh... Tom going back to work. Intially, I dread for this day, but now, I am feeling kind of nervous over it. The feeling is like tom is the first day of a new job. I packed all my thing nicely into my new black colour bag.

Glad that I managed to clear all my stuffs on the laptop and did some small work during my 1 week mc. 1 week mc, so fast is over. Nice rest! Super nice rest, where I experience the joy of getting back to the pink of health.

Last few days, I was busy writting some short essay. Since graduation from school, I had nv been so "serious" in writting any compo, except for blogging, with lot of singlish. I cracked my brain so hard... as some of the questions, I really have no idea how to go abt writting them...

Here r the questions:
1. Why do you choose this CCA and what had you learnt from it, and how you contributed to it?
2. What is your career objective?
3. List down two challenges that you encounter and how you manage to overcome them?

Sat down to brainstorm abt them one by one... slowly something came out... After that felt that it is quite an accomplishment. =]
