Where The Heart Is.

Heaven’s touch

I just flipped through my scheduler and realized my last stay-home day was 3 months ago! So I thought I should make time for myself today to have a good rest at home. I guess I needed that. My dark eye circles are getting worse from all the late nights and staring at the computer screen at work.

Thankfully, next friday will be my last day at DBS. No more OTs and dragging myself out of bed every morning for work. But I’m sure I’ll miss my lovely colleagues. Gonna treasure the last week of work starting tomorrow!

Yesterday was a happy day! Gave credit ops team building a miss cause Seb and I already had plans on :) Drove to JB and Seb brought me to this place which serves really cheap and good bak kut teh! Yum! Spent the day shopping at Jusco before we decide to head back to Singapore. Long car ride with many random chats with beloved boyfriend, accompanied by the radio playing the bestest songs..what a great way to spend a Saturday! And since Jurong Hill is rather near Tuas, we went there and I must say the night view was really breathtaking! Dinner cum supper at East Coast to end off the day. I love days like this, really :)

Alright, shall go take a short nap before heading out for dinner with my family. Might be getting my laptop tonight. Excited much. Enjoy your Sunday people!

All smiles

I hope you can hold me forever, but forever is over.
I know I wouldn’t get the chance to say this anymore,
So for the very last time on your very last father’s day,
I love you, Dad.
Happy Father’s Day.

Life’s good like that, at least there are things for me to look forward to as I stare at numbers and figures for 10 hours everyday in a freezing cold office. 3 more weeks to the end of working life! Can’t wait! :)

Okay off to have a nice shower now before I crash. Photos up soon!

Tipping point

Janice — Wed, 19 May 2010 23:49:32 +0000

It’s a rainy thursday morning, how I wish I get to sleep in. Lack of sleep lately cause there are just too many things bothering me.

It’s yet another rejection letter. This time I broke down. Did I not study hard enough? These trials, they seem to come one after another. Sounds pathetic but I’m expecting the 3rd rejection letter soon. Oh well, just gotta suck it up and try to stay positive.

Teaching tuition after work today, hope my student passes her mid years, if not I’ll be sucha lousy tutor. Work time please pass faster today. Have a good day all! :)

Good for nothing

Janice — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:03:11 +0000

FUCK!!!

I’m sorry but that’s the only word I feel like using now. Life sucks as it is now! Pls, just get me out of here. I can’t take it anymore.

You make me wish

This weekend had been an eventful one :)

Work ended early at 4pm on Fri cause we’re shifting to the new office. Met S, the girls and some of their boyfriends at Clarke Quay before heading to Hooters. Prepared the cake, lighted up the candles and..SURPRISE! Pris was so shocked to see us there when she and Neek arrived :D First time at Hooters and besides the serving being a little too big, the food was great! Had fun counting down to Pris’s birthday and clubbing at Phuture after that :) Hope you enjoyed the night babe! Love you loads <3

Was up at 8am on Sat morning. Met Pei Ting, Jia Min, Zhi Ping and Kok Hwee for breakfast cum meeting at Jalan Kayu. Left early at 12pm cause I’ve got to go to my new work place. Waited for about half an hour before I could get a cab. Mad rush to Expo mrt to meet my colleauges and luckily I was there in time! Headed to DBS Asia Hub (our new office) to set up our desks and test the system. Must say the new office is really beautiful!

S came to pick me up at night and we went to ECP for supper, haha that’s like our favourite hang out whenever he’s driving :) Awesome night spent with my awesome boyfriend!

Today’s mahjong session with Jolene, Kae Luen and Yu Hua was cancelled so Aly and I decided to go on an impromtu shopping trip in town! Ok the shopping part wasn’t really successful cause we didn’t buy alot buy we ATE alot! I felt like a pig man, seriously! First was Soup Spoon, then Each a Cup, then Frolicks and then Ding Tai Fung. Hahaha but yeah, it was satisfying! Aly went off at about 7pm and while I was walking towards Orchard mrt, I met Phylicia! Super random, but since both of us haven’t had our dinner, we decided to have dinner together. It was nice catching up with her, really :)

So weekends are over just like that. A brand new week starts tomorrow and I hope it starts off well. Next week’s gonna be a really packed one – OT on Tues and Wed, Tuition on Thurs and Cruise on Fri, Sat and Sun! No more going to work at Chai Chee, which means I’ll have to wake up earlier cause Changi Business Park is so much further. Alright, better turn in soon. Goodnight folks!

Cause everything is never as it seems

Ok I ought to update this space of mine more often. Haven’t been using my com cause all along I was surfing the net with my phone, which explains the lack of entries here. Haha :)

Working life’s been pretty much of a routine and I’m starting to get really sick of it. Weekends and friends meet ups are like the only things that keep me going every week. Kinda lost count of the number of times I go “What the hell am I doing with my life now?” There were just so many things I said I wanted to do after As but never got to do them. Things like doing voluntary work, taking up yoga/pilates classes, learn baking, go overseas with friends and so much more. It’s like we worked hard last year for results, and now we’re all working hard for money. Not that I haven’t enjoyed enough, but sometimes it’s really hard to choose between doing what you want and doing what you should do. Am thinking of quitting early so that I can have time for myself, but then again that means less income and no bonus cause I wouldn’t be completing the contract.

Uni uni uni..I wish I can stop thinking about it but it just seems to be on my mind all the time. Everyone got their letters, everyone but me. As if this isn’t upsetting enough, there is SMU’s rejection letter to make things worse. Each time I open the letterbox it’s nothing but disappointment. This is a wait too long, how much longer do I have to wait?

Am overwhelmed by so many emotions now but I guess lost is the word that best describes it all.

Somewhere we went wrong

Janice — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 00:29:08 +0000

I constantly find my heart living in yesterdays and tomorrows and my mind barely surviving everything that’s today – that’s me for the past weeks.

Been thinking alot and getting very affected. This is not how things should go.

I want to be happy, I want us to be happy and I want you to be happy cause relationships are not meant to be filled with tears. Tell me I didn’t make the wrong choice, will you?

Really miss those times back then. But anyhow, I hope tonight will be good.

Second chance

Janice — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 15:51:02 +0000

I have never been strong enough to stay. People say that walking away is the hardest thing to do, but it isn’t. Staying, even when you know it will break your heart, is the hardest thing. Staying right where you are, waiting for your entire world to be ripped into pieces is much harder than walking away and starting a new one.

By Eletheowl. This is so true I can’t agree more.
