Post holiday blues

It's such a bugger my holiday ended way too soon. I still haven gotten over the fact that Im back home and back to reality. its sad actually.
depressing.
My days in Eastern Europe were hectic yet fun.
I arrive in Zurich, Switzerland on day 1 and drove up to Fussen, Germany to see my first castle.


View was great, weather was fabulous. Perfect. =D We then headed to Vienna. I swear it was love at first sight.




After Vienna, we ended up in Budapest, Hungary where I cruise down Danube River.




From Budapest, Hungary to Krakow, Poland. Krakow was more intense as in we visited the Jewish concentration camp where millions of jews were murdered and it was pretty disturbing and upsetting. I got nightmares that nite.
Next was Prague, Czech Republic.


After Prague, I was in Berlin, definitely my favourite. I almost wanted to get lost so my grandma would leave me there. But well... the famous Berlin Wall.

My holiday was fun, great weather, breathtaking sceneries, nice company. But deep down inside I guess I did miss home. I miss my chicken rice, rojak etc.

I was craving so much for chinese food, the moment i saw Meat Dumplings on the menu, I ordered it and this was what i got!!! LOL. nothing close to what I expected. -.-

And of course some hot guys I came across on my holiday. tee hee. Charming!

Pictures posted here is only a fraction of what I have taken. THing is, my trip was great and im sorry to be home. gah~ but nevertheless... im home. Funny thing is, I did not really buy stuff but I did buy lots of chocolotes. irresistable. But I did spend a whole lot of money on toilets. Can u imagine? Everytime I needed to go to the toilet it cost from 50cent EURO to 1 EURO. considering the fact that i go to the toilet quite often, I spent close to $80 SGD on toilets. So expensive!!

I need another holiday.

Home

Im finally home and exhausted and so not looking forward to work tomorrow.

A place where the beer is cheaper than water, I totally did not want to come home..... =(

*yawnz* Time to sleep, my clock is all screwed up.

more updates when i get used to life back home again. hehe =D

my nose hurts

To work continuously without any off days and sat off is truly torturous. I've been working non-stop for the past one and 1/2 month without off days, without sat off and I was determined not to take any MC. This made me easily irritated, depressed and cranky all day long.


Thanks to great frens / colleagues, I finally made it through, it was tough and tiring but I made it. Yesterday was officially my off day, and I got excited activating my "out of assistant" function on my email which said - Would be out of office from 10 oCt to 24oCt. Pls contact branch for urgent matters. - WOOOOOhoooooOOOooo. No need to go back to that stuffy office for 2 whole weeks. Sad thing is I would not be able to see Kenneth for bout 13 days.... but not needing to go to work. SHIOK!

Bad news is.... I got a pimple in my nose and it HURTS. HURTS like hell. its makin me a little cranky and irritated. dammit.

argg...

Im feeling so damn irritated. And nothing is wrong. Absolutely nothing.
I only way to explain how im feeling is that I woke up on the wrong side on the bed. Where everything that can go wrong. WILL go wrong.
First... the mrt ride to work pissed me off. Cuz of pushy and impatient people. The door is not even opened yet and people behind me are pushing me to get out of the way. I got so fed up, i shouted at them to WAIT!!! Cuz Im getting off too! wat is their prob man.... even if im not getting off, I'll definitely make way for them to get off when I have more space when the door opens. gosh. IRRITATING.
then when I finally reach work, I realised that I gotta attend a course tonite. Which I completely forgot and I agreed to meet my groupmates to discuss my presentation, which I cannot postpone cuz the presentation is on wed. So i go around to beg my colleagues who are suppose to attend the course tomorrow to change with me, but all say they cannot switch days with me cuz tonite they need to go home. Which pissed the hell out of me, and I feel like giving a flying kick to all. But instead i juz sulk. I must have looked damn ugly sulking, LiLian agreed to switch with me but with all the guilt included. That she gotta miss dinner with her mom and all...... WHATEVER! but thanks anyway cuz I do not want to sound like an ingrate. It was sweet of her anyway.

so well, work goes on. im bored. frustrated. irritated. agitated.
argg...... sian ah!

To be more positive. I had a fruitful weekend. I did 3 batches of laundry.... -.-
I spent time with my grandma, met up with my mom. had dinner with Kenneth's family and spent Sunday with Uncle Alan and family.... had small talk with Baby Kayla... so overall, I was happy.

okie, back to work and sulking.
Luisa, u can make it through this hectic week......
4 more days to my off day. I can't wait....

rest at last

After weeks of rushing around to classes and running errands, Im exhausted. I haven't got any off days cuz its all accumulated to my leave in Oct.
Anyways, today spent time with granny. Picked her up after church and headed down to OG cuz she wanted to go shopping. I realised that I definitely got my shopping habits from her. Within mins of stepping into OG, she bought a top that cost 158 bucks. -.-""
We were looking for a warm sweater for me for our trip to Europe. But all the sweaters look so ugly at OG! But I juz chose one since she was paying for it. =)
Headed down to Tiong Bahru market for lunch and did a little shopping there too. Its really amazing the stuff they have there. Weird enough, there was stuff for me to buy. She as usual spent lots again, even at a market. I bought PJs...... PJs from Tiong bahru market, the PJs that old aunties wear at home. So funny.
Tomorrow is Monday and im so not looking forward to work anymore. Im so tired and I got a report to rush out by tues and I haven started at all. Everytime I tink of my report I feel SIAN. so I avoid it.

Got this really funny picture of Kenneth. So sickening~!!!! But I forced him to give me a slutty look. so well.... enjoy.



Im hungry and Im waiting for my pizza to be delivered. Im trying hard to cut down on fast food, but for today I guess I'll juz break the rules. So hungry so hungry and I'll be watchin the F1 race till my food comes. i can't feel the F1 excitement but its kinda interesting when watching it on TV. Singapore actually looks amazing at night.

lastly..... SO CUTE!!

down with day 2

I must have done something right. I have gotten over my previous sem's results and lived with the fact that I have 2 credits and been happy bout it too. but recently out of the blue, there was an adjustments to the results which I did not even bother to go see. Well, being all bored out of my mind yesterday I decided to go in and see what the fuss was all about and I saw~ I got a Distinction for MRA (Marketing Research)... I was stunned~!!! I was like... what the #&$*. My results were adjusted from a C to a D. Im still wondering what I have done right. Shocking. Yes. Wow, what a pleasant surprise.

its a bad start to my week. the weekend was great though. I enjoyed my home-cooked dinner by Samuel and enjoyed his company. Its been quite some time since he last slept over. it was such a familiar feeling that has not been felt for quite a long time. And after months and months of discussing and planning, I finally dragged my pale white body to Sentosa, supposedly for a tan. But well, God must be on my side, the moment I hit the beach, the sun disappeared. Much to the frustration of many, but secretly I was glad. But I got sun burnt anyway. damn. I wun say I had a great time at the beach, but I was happy to see some familiar faces.
some pics taken over the weekend, too lazy to upload the rest.
Twins~!!! hehe

This baby was spotted at Sentosa. Damn bloody cute. He was so hot and bothered and totally adorable.





more when I have too much time on my hands. for now. Im hungry.

monday blues and cramps~

this sux. everything sux. im soooo in the mood for emo. Im Emo by the way. its the right setting for being emo anyway. my hormones are unbalanced. my mood swings are crazy, my cramps are killing me and I feel like crying the whole bloody day and I dun even know why and plus... im all alone at home. with no cigarettes. on a Monday. can things get any worse. my life sux.

out of breath

busy. busy. busy.

Discussed project till 10+ yesterday..... I hate IMC. and this is only the beginning.
And have I mentioned that Im goin for a concert tonite. I really dun know if I should laugh or cry bout it.
Concert of a singer I do not know at the Indoor Stadium who is goin to sing Oldies.... -.- I rather be home sleeping.
Im goin because of my grandmother and I dragged Kenneth down with me. haha

backtrack - both will always be my baby. =D

Its dark and it's gloomy outside. Raining and it's cold. Wondering what is the world doin? Preparing for their fun night out? Zouk? Heard there is some kind of bash goin on. Zzzzzz....
How bout the show goin on at Tabs, where Keong's bike gotta be on stage as a prop for the models. hahahaha
Everyone preparing for their night out of fun and I juz woke up from my afternoon nap to see that it's raining outside. I love the rain when Im home. Its kinda therapeutic. Calming and soothing.
Argg... I have no life. School has started and Im constantly sick. I have no plans, no where to go. No people to meet. No energy to go anywhere and no mood to meet anyone.
I feel like I have only u. Well....At least I still have you. =)



Somehow, somewhere, watched a episode of Will & Grace and brought back some feeling of nostalgia. I miss those days of watchin Will & Grace on a small screen of iPod Video in bed. Sami's iPod video. I miss those days of trying to imitate Dirty Dancing in my living room. I miss those days of squeezin on the counch and watchin a DVD and me falling asleep halfway and u unsucessfully waking me up. I miss those days where we were totally broke and had to borrow money so we both could have money to eat.
Gosh~! Those were my gloomiest days yet full of fun and laughter.
U were with me through my darkest moments and I love u for it!

I was goin through my LJ and saw this and decided to repost it, juz in case we go through life each day and you tend to forget.
All the times spent together makes me smile.
Thanks for being around all this time.
To someone I love as a little brother, who loves me back for who I am.
I always be there for you
When you need someone, Will I be that one you need?
I will do all my best to protect you
When the tears get near your eyes
I'll be the one that's by your side
I'll be there when you call me in the middle of the night
I'll try my best to take care of you
Take your darkest night and make it bright for you
I'll be there to make you strong and to lean on
When you need someone
I promise I'll be there for you, like how u have been around for me.


I guess it's a quiet nite in and David Cook's Always be my baby is on loop tonite while I enjoy my book. Bliss.Kinda.I guess.
I realized that I looked so much slimmer in the pics with Samuel compared to the chubby face with Kenneth. I want to be slim/skinny/aneroxic again. Without the pain and worries. hehe. asking for too much? maybe

read. reading. read.

SICK!!!!

I had a not-too-bad weekend despite the throbbing headache. I was having a headache the whole week, a headache that would not go away and it was making me blind in one eye. At first I thought it would go away in a day, but it did not. tot maybe it was a bad headache that lasted 2 days, instead it went on for the whole week. It was so torturous.

Immediately went to see a doctor on Saturday fearing I have a brain tumour. =S But no... its a tension chronic headache + migraine. Cheeem man, sound so serious. After sleeping the whole day with medication, felt a little better. but up till now, im still having a headache. searching all over the Internet for a cure for migraines and headaches but up till its been said the cause of migraine is still not known and medication with lots of side effects are the only cure. Oh God... pls help me.

Here is me, downing medication everyday... Bleah, this sucks.

Anyways, Kenneth and I "celebrated" our 2yr thingy over the weekend. We went to SpaEsprit for a relaxing massage.

I love the place there.... its so peaceful and quiet. This is our room.... with a beautiful view.

Ken surprised me with a Baby-G. This is the watch that he chose for me. I like it. Its something that I would not choose for myself but yet I kinda like it a lot and I look good with it. =) Thanks baby. I really was very surprised that u actually bought something for me. I so happy.

Funny thing was that I also planned on buying a G-shock watch for him. so well... this explains both our watches.

On MC today, spent the whole nite at Tan Tock Seng A&E. =S Had an adverse reaction to my headache medication and what happened was BAD.... really really bad. Ken drove me to TTSH and I felt so terrible and kept shaking. I was injected with medicine and was put on IV drip. so torturous. Thankfully, I had kenneth by my side the entire nite. (Sorry, u must be really really tired standing next to me the whole nite. ) Kept under observation till like 4am before I could leave for home. Feeling slightly better now and slept the entire day. Really slept the whole day............. no food and water. Juz managed to open my eyes while Ken goes to buy me dinner. Tomorrow is another day at work. sigh. feeling so weak and sick. Bleah.

This hurts and I got so bored lying there I started fidgeting and instead of some liquid goin into my body, blood starter to fill the tube. Check this out. Everyone was sleeping except me, cuz all I wanted to do was to GO Home.....

kenneth baby, thanks for everything that u have done for me. For taking care of me. For rushing me to the hospital. For holding my hair when I feel like vomiting. For standing next to my bed the entire nite. For waiting so patiently for me. For calling the nurse when the drip stopped.

Thank you for looking after me constantly cuz my health is so poor. I wish I was stronger. Sorry for being such a burden.

work stuff....

My Branch group photo... we were in the Ferrari team. Odd one out is Kesmond who was in the BMW team but came over to eat more food.

3 days course were spent like that most of the time. So shiok, no need to go work instead play games and watch videos, teabreak, toilet break, lunch break, smoke break.... Everyone from different departments of the bank came together, where we learnt more about the different roles of each department. I liked it.




Its Saturday and I had a FANTASTIC breakfast made by Kenneth. Sunny side up and sausages and peanut butter sandwich with cheese. YUMMY~
Thanx Baby!

Thank God

Results are finally out. Im glad and im thankful.

Actaully.... IM SHIOKAKAKALI HAPZ.

I passed and thank God. Although I did not do as well as I did last sem, but all i asked for was to pass and i got Credit for both modules and Im more than glad. =D

So... here comes the next sem and Im so NOT looking forward to next week . My whole hectic life once more.

This week have been pretty much great.

Monday was a nice dinner @Tung Lok with frens to celebrate Gary Loo's bday. It was really nice seeing them. I so happy.

Eating out is so unhealthy and my hair is dropping at an alarming so we decided to have home cooked food. Well, I cooked for 2 days and I decided to give myself an off day today from cooking. Went down to town to buy Durian SnowSkin Mooncake... yummy yummy. It taste sooooo good. *Burp*

As usual, nothing happening in my life. Juz boring me.

Oh ya, I have to say that they are so many weirdos around. I tink its the stress of living in Singpapore that everyone is juz behaving madly. they are always so angry and irritated and short tempered. Everything is always NOT their fault and that the whole world owes them their life. WEIRD. People should go do some Yoga or Pilates to calm down and center their chakra or anything to CHILL. People in Singapore need to chill and relax. -.- This world is not getting easy to live in. So since I can't change the way people behave and think, I juz gotta ignore them and live my own way. For all I know, I may be the weirdo to them always in my own world. But hey~ at least im happy. =D For now.............

another thing to be glad about. Im so blessed with great batchmates. We were practically inseparable at the Dinner & Dance. We had fun together even though we were all not sitting at the same table and our tables were far far apart. I was at table 45 and Thomas and Fj were at 200++ table. damn. but we still ran all over the place to have smoke breaks together. So it was great. At least we motivate each other to stick to our sucky jobs. heehee

I was having a super bad hair day that day and Thomas is not in the pic. But... who cares anyway. D&D lucky draw prizes were fantastic but I went home with nothing. SO UPSET. They were giving away 2 tickets to Japan and Shanghai all expenses paid and grandstand tickets at Japan and Shanghair Grand Prix race. But that's not I was eyeing. I so wanted the Airbook... or even the IBM thinkpad.... or the iPod video 80GB... or the Nintendo Wii.... or the X-Box. But I ended up with NOTHING. Not even the Pizza oven that MunHou got. So unfair. So I made it up by drinking lots of cheap beer which made me feel bloated the whole nite.

TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!!!!!! actaully i also dunnoe what so happy about, as if I got great plans ahead. but nevertheless, im still so looking forward to the weekend where I can sleep and sleep and sleep and get FAT~

my heart hurts....

I was off from work today and Kenneth was off to guard duty early in the morning. So what could I do....

Well, I could choose to spent the whole day bumming around reading my book, waiting for time to pass.

Or.... I could ask people out for coffee.... Or I could go spend the whole day pampering myself.

Guess what? I chose option 3. Im very happy yet my heart hurts from all the money spent. I dun even dare to tell Kenneth the exact amount I spent. He would not scold me at all, but Im juz so embarrassed that I have no self control at all. Im such a spendthrift!!! Why??

Meaning:- A spendthrift (also called profligate) is someone who spends money prodigiously and who is extravagant and recklessly wasteful.

Im feeling damn bloody remorseful now. but there is nothing I can do but reflect on what I did today.

First my plans for today was to go for a facial, since after my exams, im having breakouts and its making me feel depressed and ugly. Suppose to go to my regular beautician at Aramsa Spa but cuz they were fully booked I had to resort to my 2nd choice - Spa Esprit. Called them and realised that they moved to Dempsey Hill. Was excited to go check out the new place.

It was BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT THERE SO MUCH. Facial was good, view was good, environment was good. Overall it felt good.

Anywas the total damage on my bank account is really quite a significant amount when I start to calculate. Oh no... please dun start nagging at me. I promise not to spend any more money till next pay day.

Strip : Brazillian Wax + Cream =$110

Spa Esprit @House: Facial + Eye treatment= $210(*faints) Package =$600 (arggg)
Mystique hair salon = $350 (dun ask me about it)

Rough amount I spent = $1060 +parking+petrol+cigarettes

Gosh, my heart is pounding so hard now. Im damn expensive to maintain!!!!!!

I doubt I can sleep tonite.

But then again I work hard for my money so I deserve to spend it right? right?????

And no, I did not get any bonus.

Pls dun mention anything about this to me. Dun ask me bout it. Juz let it be. I need to hibernate for the rest of the month from now.

I need to save for my Europe trip.

Oh ya, did I mention that I juz bought a new camera and a pretty looking white HDD and a new thumbdrive. All within the span of less than 2 weeks.

And yes.... IM DAMN BLOODY BROKE NOW.

Start saving now LUISA LIM!

I will

I can, I can, I can

I WILL.....

This 3 day course have been pretty though provoking. Got me thinking bout lots of stuff.
I was asked to be honest with myself and think about talents and gifts. And I realised that I have NO talents! Whatsoever!!!!
I was damn upset!! A little depressed.
First... Im not good at any sports. I can't play any musical instrument that I ever learnt in my life well. I can't sing. I can't dance.
But then I realised all these talents were not important to my goals in life. So well.....

There must be a purpose for me for my life. Right? Im still trying to figure it out and hopefully it will come to me soon.
I was taught - Its no point goin through life without knowing where u're headed. It would be more meaningful to have a goal and a purpose to know which direction in life u're headed. So im goin to go to the beach and try figure this out.


"Where there is no vision, people perish."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Juz some of the many beautiful quotes I got from my course. I like it a lot. Hopefully I'll remember it...hehe

Bleah

It is often said, Tomorrow will be better. I had a cranky day at work yesterday, went to sleep hoping today would be better. It got worse.

Feeling damn sian. damn lost. damn directionless.
Im so glad that exams are over. Really glad. I felt like I could smile again. Kenneth says the glow on my face is back again. Up till the weekend was over, and work juz wiped out that smile on my face.

Caleb and I were discussing. He had a tough week at work when I was over taking my exams. So he was pretty beaten down when I was back at work. Everything was a pile of mess waiting for me to clear up. SIAN AH!
We both so wanna tender our resignation so badly. But.... its not difficult to find a job now but to find a job that pays us more or at least the same to do what we do would be difficult.

so well.... life goes on. in a sucky way. but im definitely enjoying every moment of no exams and classes. but it will only last for 2 weeks and I'll be back to school on 1st Sept. -.-

Back to work for 2 days and im of to a 3 day course tomorrow. Wheepee..... I love goin for courses. All the tea-breaks, lunch-breaks, brunch, smoke breaks, toilet breaks...etc.
All alone tonite, Kenneth off to guard duty. Well, at least I get to read my new book that I have.

Funny!

Heard over the radio 98.7

Your face is so ugly!
They use it to scare the SHIT of of NEWATER~!!!!

Wahahahahahahahah!!!
