Busy happy life!

Sorry for not posting in ages.. But I have been bz with work an school and social life! Exciting news to share with you guys during my hiatus!

I won a scholarship! Valrhona patisserie scholarship which allows me to spend 2 weeks in France learning from the masters, all expense paid! Even though it is located in the suburbs of France, it is still pretty awesome! Hoho!

To be honest, I never thought I could do it.. I had already resigned myself to losing so it was a huge and awesome surprise when they announced my name! Looks like I am pretty good at what I am doing now!

Anyone wanna hire me? Heehee..

Other than this piece of news, nothing much to share.. Just that I am having fun at work, with my social life and things seem to be looking pretty alright! I finally found something I am good at and enjoy!

My house is coming along pretty well, saving up for a trip to Hong Kong end of this year.. Life is pretty great at the moment.. No complaints!

Aite, that's it from me for now.. Hope everyone take care of themselves and we shld catch up soon! Miss you all!

Peace out!

Why oh why?

Sometimes I find girls behaving bitchy-ly quite silly..

It's already a Man's world out there, and hard enough for us women to be taken seriously as it is.

Does not help it when other females (be it at work, or school, or even acquaintances) Bitch and gossip about other girls.

Come on~! Where is the love? Did the last generation of feminists fight so hard for women's right, so women in this generation can tear each other's throats out to get ahead?

Humans can be so cruel to each other sometimes. If they can do cruel things to other humans, what more to beings they consider lower than themselves?

Sigh, the world would be a better place if more people were to be more tolerant.

Good and Bad day..

Today has been a day of good and bad news...

Bad news was, my grades have been slipping.. >.<

I am no longer nominated for Best Student of the Month. I guess it's a good thing I'm not nominated, because after 3 months, I've sorta taken it for granted. This is a good chance for me to maintain my standards and be better. Good motivation for me! I will be better this month, and get nominated again for OCT! I CAN DO IT!

Now for the good news.

Firstly, my Boss and Chef have worked things out and all will be restored @ work.. Ok, not everything restored, but I think this incident has taught us that nothing is to be taken for granted. We have to work at it, especially since we are all friends. Relationships between people takes a lot of work, even if they are close friends or work colleagues and even family members too. That's a lesson I will be keeping in mind for a long time.

Secondly, the bf and I are confirmed to get our own flat! Such an awesome stroke of luck, considering there's like 98 available flats vs 588 (including us) applications! And considering we only had 2 chances as compared to others who might have extra chances. The flats will be ready in 2014, so that's 2.5 years to save up for the renovations and the wedding. I'm not too fazed about it, because it is a long way to go, but still very happy..

And no, the bf hasn't proposed yet, but I will make sure he does before I agree to marry him.. Which is 2.5 years down the road.. =P So technically, I am engaged in the eyes of the law, but dun congratulate me yet. I might change my mind.. Haha...

So yea, all that happened in a day for me.. =)

The good outweighed the bad. My life is pretty awesome.. Haha..

Take care y'all.. Peace!

Teenage years...

I went to the Westlife concert yesterday and it was epic! Lol.. I remember listening to Westlife when I was about 13 and still listen to them on and off.. They are still as good, but all are already married with kids.. Which makes them even more delicious.. Haha..

I always classify Westlife as a clean-cut band, maybe because they were all considered 'old' when they became famous. Anyhows, the concert made me fall in love with them again, and I am digging up all the old BOYbands that I used to listen to.

I remember a1, followed by Westlife and finally Blue.. Blue was the group I had the biggest crush on, until they broke up..

Listening to them always brings me back to my teenage years, when I had the most fun, learning about true friendships and having my first crushes, to doing rebellious stuff (like sneaking outta the house, not going home after classes and just in all having heaps of fun but getting into loads of trouble with the parents..)..

I will post my favourite songs from each individual band, which I still LOVE LOVE LOVE to this day..

Westlife - More Than Words

a1 - Like a Rose

Blue - Best in Me

Yes yes.. I am a sucker for love songs.. But they are so timeless..... =P

Aite, that's it from me.. Take care peeps!

Dramas I do not need..

Work has been nothing but drama after drama after drama...

All because everyone has their own strong personalities.

I get dragged into all these and this has affected my mood to go to work.. Sigh~!

I hate dramas and politics..

Now, I've become an alcoholic.. Drinking so I can relax and not think about anything.. Not a lot, but more recently.. And it's not to have fun, but to escape from my work problems which I shouldn't even be worrying about..

Sigh... So tired..

Music moments....

I remember moments of my life with music.. Listening to certain songs reminds me of the feelings and the people I had the moments with..

It's the same with smells. If I smell a particular familiar smell, I will remember that specific person. Haha..

I feel that moments, be they good or bad, are good for us, because they help us grow and mature. Help us get through tough and difficult times more easily, by giving us more determination because if we've been through something just as bad, what could possibly make us give up?

Anyways, had a good chat with Rui (Hophead) and was a really good catch up.. Haha! Need to do more catch ups like these!

Best is through MSN, since it's so much more convenient...

Aight, time for me to go to bed~! Love you all~!

Politics..

I hate politics.. Period!

Especially when my working environment has it~! So tiring to have to tiptoe around everything, and to work according to the mood around. I just wanted to have a nice, cheerful positive atmosphere where I can grow.

Sigh.. Super super emotionally tired now.. People need to learn how to grow up and handle things like adults.

So annoyed that I'm in the middle of things that's not my business...

Anyways, I'm gonna go have a rest~! TIRED!

Have a good weekend! It's Friday Friday! YaY!
