Was anticipating for today (I mean yesterday since its already past midnight)'s Sing & Dance class but it was postponed as my partner couldn't make it.

Frankly speaking, I am quite disappointed since I have been anticipating for more than a week. Especially when this is the one and only class I'm having now. T^T


Anyway back to the main topic.

Today I finally remember to bring my thumb drive to "kope" the Staff Days photos from my company shared drive. (Actually I remembered to bring the thumb drive for the past few days but keep forgetting to transfer the photos. ㅡㅡ")

Since I do not have class today, I spent some time editing the photos. And my hardwork had paid off coz I managed to cheer myself up as I am pleased with the photos I edited. XD



The first thing that came onto my mind when I first heard about the Staff Day 2012 theme, Mask-querade, was Rania. They had a song called, Masquerade.

The Venue and some OTS prizes!

Voting of the "Big Brother", "Big Sister" and "Yes I can" awards at the entrance.

There are a few nominees for each category and all 3 categories had one nominees from my department. Was chatting among the some of our colleagues from the same department and one of the nominee proudly think that all the fellow colleagues from the same department should had vote the nominees from the same department.

Well, I didn't. Not for all. And why should I?

If the award category is "Best Department", then I will definitely give my support. And since this is not, I see no reason to give my support just because they belongs to the same department but in my opinion I do not think they deserve the award? At least not the one who have the thoughts.

But anyway why got people so not shy one? ㅡㅡ"

Pui! I sounded so fake when I didn't even retort when she mentioned that. Why should I get myself into unnecessary conversation. Bleah.

The mask decorating corner.

Seriously I didn't know there was a mask decorating corner for you to earn yourself a chance to win the best mask awards. The organizing committee should have mentioned that in the email teasers lor! Else, I should had win!

Well, juz joking. I probably wouldn't have the courage. Lol.

The teams gathering up to come up with a team cheer.

Why am I sorted into green? I hate green. I mean dislike.

We were given this tee with the colour printed dates at the back. And green? Ugly. The only nice colours are pink and purple.

Anyway, green is the colour to be a Triple S. X)

 
And about the cheer, I could only think of the song, Gee. Gee and green? Kinda similar right? But who would have know kpop in my office. Kinda bored huh.

The food.

Didn't had much of the food coz they are satays or otak, AND satays or otak, OR satays or otak.

Well, juz joking. But the food cuisine type juz ain't my preference.

The Distribution.

Florence, David, Martin, Gerard and Tiffany (left to right).

Suddenly sneak up by the photographer and got this a tad 3D photo snapped. X)

Receiving my 37th prize.

I'm probably the first one from my department to walk up to the stage to get a prize. Lucky or not? But that just means that I'm strike off from the list of top prizes winner. Boohoo! T^T

At least something than nothing right? This is the biggest prize I ever got from a company event.

Mini getting her award for being one of the "Yes I can" award.

Someone commented that they both look alike at one glance. Probably coz the way they tie their hair?

Boss receiving his prize.

We were trying to grab some drinks at the moment when I heard boss' lucky draw number being called out. He, however was totally unaware. Lol. Luckily I memorized his number after I got mine as Mini says he probably doesn't knows his number since his invitation was kept with her.

The happy Mini receiving the 6th prize which she yearned for.

Prior to the event, I peeped at the prize list and shared them with some close colleagues whom I hanged out with. And she was hoping to get the ticket to Taiwan, which is the 6th prize.

When the MC was announcing the lucky draw number for prize 6 number by number, I was busily chanting her number beside her. And surprisingly my chants work for goodness sake! o_O!

Ok lah. She is juz so lucky to get that award. But I think I am the happiest person the moment her number is announce since I let a sharp scream which later then I regretted coz its mad embarrassing. T^T



At the end of the day, Mini told me the rest remarked that the event was better than last year. How would she had heard it when she was there with me the whole night and I didn't?

Nevertheless, this was indeed a more interesting Staff Day as compared to last year since there wasn't much games to gather the people.

This shall be the end of Staff Day 2012.

What presents made the best? That would definitely be something that comes from the heart of a friend.

Today I received the best birthday present I received from this 11 years friend, Hazel. Thou its a very belated present from her but it seriously touches my heart.


I knew she was going to draw a pair of shoe for me, but never had it come across my mind that she was going to draw Sentimental Circus for me. I guess she mentioned it before, but I didn't catch it back then.

When I remove this pair of shoe from the shoebox, it surprises me seeing Toto on the shoe! Omo! XD

A hand-drawn present is already touching enough, but what's even more touching is she knows what I like and paid the effort to draw it for me. And I sincerely love it a lot!

Tadah! The one and only Sentimental Circus shoe.

In additional to the one and only Sentimental Circus shoe I've got, below is the new Sentimental Circus gifts I got from Mini as my belated Christmas presents.

Bottle and monitor wipe.

좋아요! 센티멘더 설커스 진짜 귀여워! 캬~

Was suppose to bring my thumbdrive to copy the Staff Day 2012 photos taken by the photographers engaged by the company so that I could upload them for a blog post.

But unfortunately my teeny weeny brain totally forgotten about it. Not only so, I also forgotten to bring the mandarin oranges I got at work back home for house visiting today! Omo! T^T


Since I forgot about the Staff Day 2012, I shall blog about my Chinese New Year! ^^


Chinese New Year is a festive season I always look forward to. Not because of the joyous atmosphere, nor the chance where we can give ourselves another excuse to shop for new clothes. What I love about CNY is because of the reunion dinner, a chance for our family to gather once in a year.

I think a lot of people who leave their families at a young age to work or study will have the same thought and treasure the chance of such reunion chances.

Unfortunately, ever since last year its hard to get a chance for all the 6 family members to reunion. :(

Last year, my mum was not able to travel back to Malaysia due to such immigration issues. Thus all of us excluding my dad stayed in the small rented flat and ate our reunion dinner.

This year, my mum needs to work thus again we had to decide whether we should spend it in Malaysia with dad, or in Singapore with mum.

Since my mum needs to work and we had already agreed to go back to Malaysia, thus this year we gonna spend it with dad. But somehow my lazy brother ends up lazy to make this trip back to Malaysia. ㅡㅡ"

Therefore the reunion dinner for this dragon year only have 4 members from my family.


Enough of being emotional over this festive season which suppose to be a joyous one.
As usual, always its time for some photos to end a negative post.

Brought my polaroid camera back to Malaysia and almost thought there's no chance to use it. But alas before we set off back to Singapore, we manage to snap some polaroid. Yay! XD





Look at the photos I "cope" from my sister, SZ. Seems like my photo taking style is quite similar to my dad coz we both doesn't show our teeth when taking photos. And both my sisters are always smile with their teeth. Lol.

Diary is a very simple task and not something that can put me down since its just like writing a blog post. But writing the diary in a different language with the limited knowledge I have is seriously killing me! T^T

Yesterday was my company annual event, the Staff Day 2012.




What is Staff Day? Staff Day is like Dinner & Dance except that it's not held at a hotel or restaurant. There is no course meal, only buffet. A lot more like an event where the company staffs gather and for you to have fun.

Well, in another words, Staff Day is a more "budgeted" version of D&D. ㅡㅡ"

Last year it was held at Sentosa Wavehouse, and this year? Mana Mana Beach Club @East Coast Park.


Brought my camera but didn't took any pictures. The department had become so unfamiliar to me that it will just look so strange for me to go around taking pictures.

Anyway, this year prizes doesn't seems too attractive. We used to have cash prizes (max up to 2k cash). But due to some company policy, we are not allowed to have cash prizes! T^T

The first prize is always one business class ticket to US which I wonder who would be happy to receive that. Definitely not for me. :)
The 2nd prize which used to be 2k cash was now 2 tickets to Milan (￣^￣)ゞ. And the 3rd & 4th prize (iPad2 32 & 16gb) are what I consider as top prizes, but it wasn't won by me! Boohoo!

This year I got the 37th prizes! At least I make it to the top 40! And I got a $100 Takashimaya vouchers! Not what I wanted but better than nothing!



And Mini was even luckier coz she got what she wanted from the list of lucky draw! So heng one!


Initially I was quite disappointed for getting the Taka vouchers instead of Capita Malls one. Thought I could have use them to buy Sentimental Circus stuffs and Taka is like so damn inconvenient! But earlier I went to Taka and surprisingly they do have Sentimental Circus stuffs too! Yay! Thou the range is quite l'il and I only manage to get 2 items with a $10 vouchers.

Shall go shop again some other day! Bbyong~

Not sleeping despite feeling tired coz there is something I am still mad about. And I do not want to spend too many tweets ranting about it.

SERIOUSLY I HATE PEOPLE PUTTING WORDS INTO MY MOUTH!

Firstly, I think and am definitely sure that I have a mouth of my own and I do not need any other people to open their great mouth to speak up for me.

I strongly believe that if there's anything that needs to be asked, I will use my own mouth. Same goes for anything I want to comment.


Today at dinner..

My team mate was telling me about a portion of the choreo where there is some dance steps on the actual choreo but our dance teacher taught us to hold there. I told her I noticed it too.

She then told me she asked our dance teacher and our teacher said that its because she taught us the portion of whoever singer who are singing the part. For this I clarified with her at least twice asking whether she meant she already asked the dance teacher.

And so I told her, "Oh. But maybe we could add in ourselves since we are doing as a group. Maybe after we learned the entire song we can asked the vocal teacher to see which part to assign for who first." She agrees with me.

Then I added on, "But if only one person do that choreo (coz the other one who sings that part don't need to do it) then will be very weird. See how first." The conversation ended here but I vaguely remembers that she agrees to my last sentence.

Later at the school..

We were talking to both our dance and vocal teacher about her audition this week. She suddenly told our dance instructor I have something to ask and turned to me initiating me to start the questions. -inserts poker face-

My face were blank. And she said, "You say you want to ask about the choreo what?" Fuck you. Since when did I say that? You are the one who said you already asked. Why is it me now??!!!

I told her that she's the one who wanted to ask, not me. But she continues to deny and says I am the one who said that I want to do the missing steps. ㅡㅡ"

I reminded her of what I had said and asked if she remembers I was saying to ask the vocal teacher to assign the part first. She replied, "Aiyah! Anyway they both still need to discuss and decide before assigning the parts what. So just ask first lah." "The problem is I never want to ask what!"

There was silence after this conversation or perhaps I should call it an argument which lasted for a couple of minutes. And both our teachers just walked away to do their own stuffs.

I was angry. Frankly speaking this is sucha disgrace for us and rude to got them into such embarrassment.

I would also like to highlight that during this conversation I asked her, "I thought you said you already asked her". She shake her head with an hue me a what are you talking about face, which was when I simply just don't bother to talk to her.

For goodness sake, there wasn't even once where I have query to the choreo for the past one year I have been taking dance class from the school. I am just the same old 'easy-going' me who accepts everything.


Maybe this may sounds like a small issue and I'm kicking up a big fuss. But this is not the first time she did this to me!


Once, she asked if I wanted to take Sing & Dance class with our current school (we were under another vocal trainer that time). I told her I don't mind to take but that is if our teacher allows us to learn from another vocal teacher.

The next day..

"Vocal trainer, Chaerin got something to ask you." -inserts poker face-

I juz kept quiet coz I do not wish to make a scene.


The other time when our vocal trainer praise us for dressing up and say this is how we should dressed. She whispered (to me), "But today trainer not dressed up nicely." i purely gave a a dry smile without any comment and she look up she told the trainer, "Chaerin say but you are not dressed nicely today." -inserts poker face-

I say. Very funny. I was totally speechless and as usual forced to suffer bitterly in silence.

Where got people like this one?


I am serious about this taboo of mine.

This simply reminded me the time where I was boycotted by the group of friends I stick with during my high school times where this bitch told the girl who has the most influence that I badmouthed her. But all this while I merely lend my listening ear to that bitch who is complaining about the girl who always bullied her. And bam! I'm out from the group and she's in. T^T

Haiz.....

Probably gonna stop taking lessons with her after completing the song we are doing now.

Just got to know 2 of my friends just had their wedding dinner today from a few other friends who posted on fb. Congratulations! But great, not invited again. :/

Maybe I am just being sensitive. But since we rarely meetup and keep in touch, its quite reasonable for not getting invited. But guess what? It happens that I am not in her fb friend list anymore. O_o!!

Whatever did I done to get myself a friend lesser again?

Perhaps being friends means meeting up and getting in touch often. And juz coz I had not been meeting the group of bikers, it means I am no longer a friend?


Whatever it is, the life is yours and there's nothing I can do about it.


Here I would like to tell all my friends, even if I do not find a time to meet you, it does not means I do not treat you all as a friend ok.
