I'm feeling down, but I don't know why

我忽然间很忙！

I am glad that I decided to work in SPH. I have been going for "Principles of Journalism" course since last Wednesday and I am enjoying every bit even though I have been listening to them for the past 4 years in NTU. But I am getting to know the insights of local publications and lessons have been enjoyable.

I OT-ed before I went for course, as I know that I wont be in office for a week. In the end, during my course, i continued to OT-ed because more work was given. So I stayed till 9pm last Friday and now I'm still doing work in office NOW -.-

But I kinda enjoyed every single bit of it. I mean I don't procrastinate and by doing more work means less of a brain to ponder about other issues. I have been thinking way too much...

I met other colleagues from Shin Ming, Zao Bao, Wan Bao and ST, all of us were envious of each other's jobs:

- We were learning about political reporting the first two days and I was thinking how nice if I can be a political writer too. At least, it looks like a challenging and more fulfilling scope, meddling with politics and anytime i might get sued for defamation.

- The Shin Ming colleagues were sharing with me their difficult situation in crime scene as well as how they always need to follow closely to court cases which makes me eager to learn that aspect too.

- And of course, they were all envious of my scope: lifestyle.

Well, there's good and bad lah. But i do hope someday i get to run different beats :)

I brought Shuli for Hungrygowhere tasting (for misstamchiak) last week at this new resturant called Shuang Yuan, fusion of taiwanese, vietnamese and japanese food. The chefs are from a very high class japanese restaurant which I dont know if I can reveal. But the reason why i was invited for this tasting is because i met one of the owner of HGW at a media tasting the day before and we happened to know each other way back a few years. Hence, got invited for more tastings!

It has been a lazy weekend for me, not in the mood to do anything at all. Ah Yi is being so sweet by accompanying me to Millenia Walk to collect the AMORE women's day out tee shirt on Saturday afternoon. And i spent $250 in Nike shop @ Suntec, buying a top, long pants and sports shoes. So now I got their membership card which entitled me to 10% discount.

Great, no more shopping for the month of March already. Because I have also paid $200 for a new course which I will be attending come late March: BUDDHIST ART THERAPY! Basically it tries to marry Buddhist thinking & practices to the theory & practice of Art Therapy and is believed to have therapeutic benefits.

Good lah, go there draw draw draw and see if there is something wrong with my brains anot. It will be held every tuesday at awareness place in bras basah.

Attended Mike's birthday dinner at Shuli's house on Saturday evening, and I must say Buangkok's environment is really really peaceful and green. Shuli's mummy whipped up yummy food such as nasi lemak, fried mee, curry, sambal sotong, and there is abalone yu sheng plus i bought a ice cream cake from thomson plaza swensens! great food, great company!

Oh my brains are not working in chronological order now. So let me jump back to last week when the office has CNY celebration with the Zao Bao and OMY colleagues. I ask uncle, luoling and keyi to perform for me and they were so nice to agree to it despite the little allowance that they receive. And I WON A BIG HAMPER! it has got bird nest and some XO alcohol in it. I had to take a cab home.

I was too busy with the performance and all that i skipped dinner so thankfully ah zhi and chris drove over and we went for supper at s11. Stingray, wu xiang, lamb chops, roti prata...yes yes i know it's unhealthy but how many times a year do i eat supper!

ok back to now. Im supposed to be working buy obviously i decided to blog. I kinda lost my train of thoughts already. I wanted to write something which makes me kinda upset but suddenly i lost the reasons for it. nevermind, when the inspiration comes, i will then pen it down.


I AM HUNGRY!
