ME ♥
I is Qiqi, I is Claire.. is born on 6 OcT 1984.

I like to know wat other people are thinking.. Not only wad they think abt me but oso wad they're thinking abt other things.. I like to observe how someone behave in a situation & why they do so. I'm an introspective person.

I dun like horror movies, they're a waste of money and shorten lifespan and end up having neurosis. Unless it's FOC and i'm prepared to be watching just 1/5 of the movie. Else, i'll rather watch funny, cute, romantic or action-packed movies.

I wana eat healthy food, practise my religion but often end up eating junk and nodding off when listening to my Buddhist teachings.

I LOVE dogs especially big, sunny dogs = golden retrievers!! They're jus so inviting, huggable and outdoorsy..

I am interested in many things and like to learn about many different things, however, I dun have the perseverance and have a tendency to skim the surface.

I like to accept that the only thing constant is change. Makes life exciting & challenging.
I wish that everyone greets with hugs :D

I'm missing my life
Saturday, March 22, 2008♥

I’ve been working more than 12 hrs per day, 6 days a week for 2 consecutive weeks, I’m feeling so exhausted. Yet, I felt that for all the effort I’ve put in, I’m not rewarded. T_T

Furthermore, I felt so isolated, I’m missing all my buddies. Seems like some have gone overseas this week, yet I din know. I felt so detached from a normal life. I need my social life back.

Perhaps this is what a workaholic will end up with at the end of the day. But I’m not one, I’m being forced to work under certain circumstances.

My dear friends, I miss you all. Hope to meet up with your real soon. Not really possible with all the OT plans schedule thou. April will be a better month. Feels like doing some sweating exercise that doesn’t involve cardio workout. Haha.. Anyone have any ideas? ;) 

Thinking of changing my perfume. Been using my Ferragamo incanto for ages, when i sniff my clothes, i can no longer tell if the smell is from my perfume or my body smell. haha.. anyone have any recommendations? I like a hint of fruity smell with musky or flowery base.

Me, during cin's birthday celebration.

Reminding you of me. =)

Be careful of what you wished for
Friday, March 14, 2008♥

This is called getting more than what I asked for. I’ve been craving to go back to work after 7 days of mc, & now I’m required to work almost 7 days straight until the end of March. What is the world coming to? I predict that I’ll be exhausted, deprived of a life and needs lots of TLC. Haha!

Saturday, March 08, 2008♥

my "happening" life is all cramped into the 3 rest days arh.. furthermore, i've to do some revision during my rest days too! my 4 no-life working days are only for eating, bathing, sleeping & working.. boohoo~


besides having some dark eye circles, working late night is not so bad actually.. get to bond more with the colleagues i'm on shift with.. however, the office is so much quieter, colder & more boring.. i look fwd to seeing more people in the office in day shift.. i wana work normal shift!!

chilling out..
Saturday, September 22, 2007♥

Had dinner after work on fri at timbre.. it was located in a rather secluded area near SMU.. they have good ambience, bar & live band.. quite a nice place to chill out at weekends.. the food is not bad, especially their thin crust pizzas & their chicken wings..



the bar ahead, the whole place have a resort feel..


the live band, handsome stylish lead and guitarist..

us! poor photo quality as it's taken using my hp cam.. the place is super packed after awhile.. good place for chilling out..

Hang ard there with my colleagues from 8pm to midnight.. by the time we leave the place, I’ve had more than 3 glasses of red wine.. I’m getting high with all the alcohol in my blood and the live band heating things up.. haha.. realized that I like the high feeling quite a lot, as long as I’m still within control.. hee..

Went to eat soybean curd after that to sober up.. been having a craving for it in the morning! So lucky got to satisfy my craving on the actual day.. hohohoho~ went to a famous soybean curd stall nearby.. but I din take note of its name.. =/ yum yum~ reached home late, super tired.. slept within 15 mins of reaching home.. hahaha..


been enjoying the recent nightlife.. feels more like having fun and living life especially since i'm still young! haha.. i dun wan life to be jus working & working & later worry about getting married, having kids, retirement etc.. arh.. but life is like that, and to be able to lead this typical life could be considered a blessing in a way too..

anyway, i'll be starting my shift work on this sunday, which is tml! so from here onwards, i'll be leading a "work 4 days, rest 3 days, work 3 days, rest 4 days" kind of lifestyle.. basically, my rest days will be on thurs, fri, sat & alternate wednesdays.. so pls feel free to ask me out during the weekends yoz.. ^^v

Gala Dinner
Tuesday, September 18, 2007♥

Whoot! It’s my 1st company dinner & dance.. I’m quite excited lah, as I’ll get to mingle ard with not very familiar colleagues.. as my company is quite big huh, it is rather difficult to get to know everyone (dept people) in a matter of a week..


Hmm.. the food was not good, the performance can be ignored, which was totally what I expected.. haha.. main highlight was goin ard looking for people to take pictures with.. ^^


hmm.. the prettiest photo of me on that night.. haha..


photos photos~ these are all my orientation friends/colleagues..

my boss & his wife & my dept colleagues..


After the dinner went with my dept people to MOS.. hoho~ it’s my 1st time there! The place is quite nice arh.. I din know is so close to Clarke quay.. =/ before we enter MOS, we went to asylum for a beer while waiting for others to come.. met a group of my male colleague’s regular clubbing khakis, a bunch of chio bu & some guys.. this made my another colleague lament that this sort of thing never happen to them at all.. i.e.: chio bu running up to them.. haha..


We’re at MOS’s main room.. went dancing after a few drinks but yikes, I’m wearing a tube dress! And it’s constantly slipping down.. =( so sian.. but still had fun dancing.. keke.. long time din dance so I think I dance weird.. haha.. also went to the pure room for a glass of red wine.. I think the pure room is very good for couple to get comfortable.. hee..


I’m glad that smoking is now prohibited at all indoor nightspots.. my dress & hair is smoke free when I returned home.. ^^v


The best thing is that I went free of charge! My dear colleague came and fetch me to suntec & MOS & also drove me back home.. ^^ they paid for my cover charge & all my drinks.. which I think will total up to $60+.. felt slightly bad about having them pay for me.. but hor.. I dun have that much cash on me to pay them back too.. hahahhaha.. maybe will treat them milo during breakfast someday.. haha!

orientation farewell dinner
Sunday, September 16, 2007♥

Hey hey~ These are the photos we took on our orientation farewell dinner ard a week ago.. I’m glad that I got to know this bunch of people.. Good caring friends who likes to talk cork and makes jokes.. haha.. brightens up my working life..




played with the safety equipments during break.. keke..

@ swensens~
as u can see, there's only that much gals in the whole group.. =/

one of the advantage of being a female in a male dominant engineering company is that i'm basically treated as a royalty.. most of them are gentlemens so all doors open automatically, chairs come to me automatically, drinks are free etc.. keke..

---------------+++---------------



went to maple and bought 8mil worth of miso ramen!! Arghhhhhhhhh~~ so expensive!! @_@ I seldom play game since my work started.. somehow I feel the need for a few hours with myself or my family everyday after work, some family bonding time.. which to me is much important than gaming.. hee.. it’s too virtual and any achievements made in the game is too transient.. =/

had quite a great time befriending people from my orientation group.. it's made up of quite a broad range of pp goin for different executive positions.. will be stuck with them for 2 weeks, after which, considering the sheer size of my company, we'll most likely not meet again.. hahahaha~



oh.. but i've signed up for our company's D&D on 15 Sept! hahaha~ 1st day at work and i've signed up for the D&D.. looking fwd to my 1st company event! it's a huge event arh.. with more than 400 tables i think..



---------------+++---------------



day 2 of orienatation is already getting boring~ lol~ the rest of the nxt 2 weeks will be training.. anyway, some complaints coming up.. although i'm glad to know more pp, but i really dun like smokers.. i can only accept smokers at pubs & discos etc, but well, there's a no-smoking rule set by the govt recently at pubs.. so.. i jus cant accept smokers.. especially their breath.. *horrrr horrrr* *cough* there's so many freaking smokers there.. argh~ i always have the urge to scream "dun talk to me" whenever i smell their breath.. but cant lah.. no sweets to offer them too.. anyone got good ideas?
