Halfway through Attachment (IAP)
Time has been passing very fast lately and the weather has been changing. Just like everyone too, changes in habits, attitude and feelings as days goes by. Be it good or bad, one has to bear with it. Probably, bad things happened for us to learn and be stronger. No matter what, I rely everything on God's hand. For He is my strength, comfort and shelter.
November became swiftly and interim report stress has been increasing as the submission deadline is near. However, taking rest is still important. So managed to catch up with Ling and Ping on the 1st to meet up for a dinner and a chit chat session. We decided to indulge in a good meal after some consideration. Dining at Dian Xiao Er.
The Dian Xiao Er Menu.
Ling & me ready at table.
The five dishes that we have called.
Ping, Ling & me.
A picture before leaving the restaurant.
After work on 8th November, I headed all the way to Jurong East to learn knitting with my colleague, Venme. Not really learning how to knit, but consider buying knitting strings from the shop to learn new designs. Haha.. I decided to knit a shawl. But don't really know how long will I take to finish it. Just realised that I have spent quite a lot on knitting. Oh no...
As there was enough funds from my department welfare, the staffs and attachment students from PCD will invited for a lunch buffet at Hayatt on 9th November. I chose Thursday since one of my colleagues was on leave the previous day. The lunch buffet was not bad but it cost so much. I heard from my colleagues that it was about $38++. However, i didn't really enjoy and eat a lot cause the head of the department was sitting on the same table with me. So there was a need to have some grace and table manner. Haha.. I don't even dare to take pictures of the food too. Kind of pity.
Yati & me at the Hayatt toilet!
Finally, I get to meet up with Charmaine to pass her the birthday present from me. Bought a bible for her cause she lost her bible on a taxi. The lost bible meant a lot to me too. Cause I often read her lost bible for two years while she used to share the Gospels with me. I hope the bible present will be her best present of the year. Haha.. Char, do take care of the bible ok? Thanks God for using you to share His precious Words with me.
Oh.. I managed to go back to school on the 16th & 17th to see my LO and to submit my interim report. Felt so glad to see some of my classmates who will having In-House project in school. How's you guys been doing? Miss the times we had when we were in the same lecture room? I miss you guys a lot especially the times when I remembered we used to sneak off during lesson hours to have our mini teabreak, asking one another if we have completed the online quizzes, talking craps on our way to the next tutorial class and more memories. Hope we all still get to keep in contact even after we have graduated.
Somehow, I just felt weird about leaving 13th floor at my workplace during my last week(13th-17th November). Maybe I'm starting to miss the peaceful and fun times at level 13. I will be joining the same unit at 12th floor next week but a different section. Work might be a bit different. Hope everything will goes well for me at 12th floor.
For today, I had a long day having fun too. Yan, Ling, Jia, Ping & I choose 18th November to celebrate Yan's early birthday. The four of them arrived at my house to have our sandwiches preparation session. Not forgetting a memorable trip when we get to on board the MV Doulos ship which was built on 1914, two years younger than Titanic. It is the world largest floating book fair selling most of the Christian books with more than 6,000 titles. Cool! Yan wanted to have a relax celebration and we decided on picnic. But I guess it didn't really turned out to be a picnic at the park, should be called a sneaky sandwiches cum drink session at a cafe at Vivocity, Pacific Coffee. Overall, we were glad that Yan enjoyed her days and we all know that she loves us to bits! Hehe...
Jia, Yan & Ling in action in the kitchen. Will it be a mess?
Ping & Ling feels good after my waffle crisp treat! Hoho...
The birthday girl & me.
Pancakes, the dish I'm best with.

Just see what they did to my wardrobe. My well-preserved old Bowen uniform. That's Ling & Ping!
Missing our old school days. With our new looks. Haha...

Arrival!
On board the oldest ongoing ship.
Look-alike family pic. Without Ping. =( Come on, don't be a camera girl.
Oh no.. We can't be serious anymore.
*I love this picture most. Friendly fight!
*I in you (your spectacles) & you in me (my spectacles). I love this expression. Exchange time.
*some problems with the last two picture. Probably due to the dim lighting. Occurred within the blog post only. But the main focus(us) is still visible. Yeah!
Quote of the day: No matter what you do, don't let others or anything hinders you when your heart has already decided wat you really wanted to do or achieve.

My new blog song: Because I'm A Girl by Kiss
Below is the song lyric of the orginal Korean song: Because I'm A Girl by Kiss. This is quite an old song but I realised recently that the English lyric is very meaningful and it talked about how much a girl can gives for love. So do enjoy the song in my blog (English Version) while reading the lyric. One of my all-time favourites.
Because I'm A Girl by Kiss
Verse 1
I just can't understand the ways
Of all the men and their mistakes
You give them all your heart
And then they rip it all away
It showed me how much you loved me
And how our love was meant to be
And I believed in you
I thought that you would set me free
Chorus
You should've just told me the truth
I wasn't the girl for you
Still I didn't have a clue
Cause my heart depended on you
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl
Verse 2
And so the men believe in girls
Get sick of you and would
I know that is no lie
I gave my all still I just cry
Never again will I be fooled
To give my all when nothings true
I wont be played again
That I will fall in love again
Chorus
You should've just told me the truth
That I wasn't the girl for you
Still I didn't have a clue
My heart depended on you
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl
Bridge
I loved you so
Now you leave me in the cold
I burned this way
I thought that you only loved me
Into the night
Ill pray that you're all right
You hurt me so
I just can't let you go
Verse 3
I'm sick of anytime my willingness
To do anything for love
Now I'm the only one in pain
Will you please take it all away
Chorus
Never thought that for being a girl
Why can't I believe in love
Now I will never want
To never get torn again
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl
-END-
Quote of the day: Cherish what others have done for you before you have any regrets and not take it for granted.
