The Answer Is Revealed

Everyone's guessing of the contents of the black box is over. Lol. Wendy had a nice try. There is still 3 empty slots to fill. Adding to my collection slowly. Ultimately, I would like to possess a Tag Heuer. It's a dream, which is attainable. It is ironic that the giver of the box would need it more than me. Nonetheless, it was a perfect gift for me for my purpose.

"Gifts Galore"



All the gifts I received have been pictured. There is a black box hidden. Any guess what is inside? Hee. I like that gift very much. It was given by someone special to me, whom paid attention to what I was looking for. I never expected it. Met Jo last night and she amazed me. This Xmas is sweeter than never before.

"Give n Share" Mood

One last day of work before 3 rest days. I reached office earlier than usual, carrying a bag full of gifts. No one was around, while I went to distribute the gifts on colleagues' desks. My miscalculation resulted in a shortage of gifts. I prayed hard that no surprise gifts from anyone else.

Festive celebrations at lunch time. Everyone gathered in the Journey room for a food feast. Lots of great food, sparkling juices and lots of jokes to bring everyone's working mood down to zero. Lol. Our internship student was the organising chair person. Many thanks to her for planning the things, as everyone was busy with our own work.

By end of the day, I had a bag filled with gifts from colleagues to bring back. Too excited to see what is inside the wrappers, but still have to wait till I reach home. I never enjoyed Xmas before and hopefully this will serve as a precedent in future.

A Birthday Wish




In 2 hours time, it will be my pal's birthday. Hope you have a memorable one, which I did 3 months ago. The year is ending soon, but the fun will not cease.

Xmas Anxiety

The backlog on my desk is also cleared. Next big challenge is the year end closing next week. Atmosphere at work would be quite serious, but there is a celebration at the end of the week. M has initiated a xmas celebration. Responses were spontateous with 17 participants in all. Everyone has a role to play to contribute. My task is to get titbits and drinks. Other things we planned for are ham, pizza, sushi, pork ribs, etc. Should I get small gifts for everyone to surprise them? Still sourcing for ideas though.

Rebec had finished her operation and I am trying to arrange my schedule to pay her a visit. I pray for her fast recovery. I hope to see her chubby self before xmas. How do I spend this xmas? No date to expect, but I dont wish to let it fly pass. Only once a year. Who shall I spend it with?

Will History Repeat itself?

A hectic schedule for 3 weeks has gone past. Not much entertainment, work to clear before on leave and exams was approaching. This exam sitting was a stronger test than ever before. I had 2 optional papers to clear, in which one was a retake. Leaving me no choice but to push back my graduation date. More costs to provide for plus more time consumption. If I had progressed to this stage, I should finish it at all costs. My only motivation is my parents witnessing my convocation one day. Lol.

Yesterday was the end of the entire sitting. In the midst of preparation, 6 bottles of bird nests with 1 week of intense revision would be sufficient to get me through in my opinion. At each of the exam dates, there were empty seats around me. Some had chosen to forgo their slimmest chance of securing a marginal pass. I wont even consider about giving up till I make an attempt. Overall assessment of my own performance was less than satisfactory. I concluded that there was a higher chance of passing the retake paper than the other paper. Nonetheless, there were plenty of well wishes from friends whom I appreciated alot.

Went for a stroll in West Mall before I came home last night. A relief that my study aspect has ended for this year. A big challenge in office requiring my attention next week. Year end approaching to finalise the company's full year performance, which is corelated to my bonus distribution.
