Heading off to Tokyo
I'm flying tmr to Tokyo! Yup, I'm tagging along with my hubby for biz trip. A total of 7 days including the two days of work for him. Planned a lot of places to go and visit. I'm so proud of myself, finishing the itinerary in 2 days, just one week plus ahead of the flight date. :) I realised that the places to visit covers mostly shopping area! Haha. Now yen is stronger than 2 years ago.. Guess things will be much more expensive! I'm so excited!! I'm meeting Shirly up for dinner too!

My Random Sunday
We were attracted to this 2 cars after we had our breakfast on yesterday morning. A bride and groom bridal car. They were not really that fanciful, but then it's creative.
Then we did house work together for a while before heading to mum's home and bring all the little children to Toyrus at vivocity to choose their birthday gift. :)
Sorry~ only took 1 picture with the upcoming birthday girl - Felicia. :) (Yixin got her belated birthday present and she was sooo busy playing with the hair care set) (I got a strawberry shortcake figurine for Melissa since she is a very good girl with mostly full marks for all her spelling tests)
That's all for a tiring sunday with the kids!

15th Oct 2011
A few days before, we got ourselves a vacuum cleaner as our first year anniversary gift for our home and for each other. Used it already and we both like it. Rowenta silent force! Powerful and really quiet!
Then came the important day. 15th Oct. Yesterday's expenses was on me, since I didnt have any surprise for my dear on his birthday. I'm so bad and guilty!
We went to catch a movie "The Thing" at Lido after breakfast, walked around orchard til it was time for dinner. We settled our dinner at a jap restaurant named Watami in Ion and then off we went home for a heart to heart talk.
Overall, it was not a fantastic day. However, the fact that I am able to be with my love one is more than I can ask for. We were worried for a second that, when we look back next time and could not recall on what we did on our first year anniversary. But with logical thinking set in, we don't really need to spend money to make it so memorable. As long as we are always together, always so loving and sweet, putting in effort in every single thing we do, having a normal anniversary does not matter at all.
I am so glad that I'm married to this man.

Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to my dearest~!
This saturday will be my first year wedding anniversary, as well as my hubby's birthday. How time flies. It's been a year! Of course there is still a looonngggg way to go! This post is dedicated to my dear husband, who has been doting on me and giving his 100% to me, and to our marriage.
My hub is a home based worker, and with his parent company n distributors in different timezones, he is actually able to wake up a little later, coz there's no rush for him to take public transport and to rush to work. However, my hub chose to adjust the alarm clock just 15 mins later then me, getting up and preparing Milo (or some other drinks) for me every weekday morning - minus off some lazy days, days he is on biz trip and days he is sick. How sweet is that? He even washes the cup for me when I'm in a hurry, or simply when I'm lazy. After i leave the house, he will fold the blankets if he remembers, and he did it most of time. :)
This guy of mine shares my household work with me too. He will iron all clothes including mine every fortnightly. He will mop or sweep the floor almost every alternate week(when i ask him to). He will clean the bathroom's shower screen when I demanded him, and he will always be the one to bring out the rubbish to the main rubbish chute. :)
He gives me house fund every month without fail and pays for all the expenses regardless of meals and home bills. He packs food back for me when I'm lazy to get changed. He took care of me when I am on MCs. He even notices what my likes and wants are, and then "pop" me a surprise gift on special occasions. He is very good at managing finances and I always feel safe with him to be in charge of finances.
He listens to my complains and whines, he encourages me and gives me support whenever I needed him. He even came all the way to meet me near office areas in days where I have menses and I forgot to bring pads. He helps me to rub my belly with Ru Yi Oil on days I had got colic.
Last but not least, he respects me and loves me for who I am. Thank you dear for being with me. Happy anniversary and happy birthday!

Adapting to the old, yet new environment...
Started work again yesterday.. I had overviews on the projects that were assigned to members of my team. I was of course, been assigned to a few tasks too. I was immediately sent to action, as though I never had left.
With the "high" turnover this year, a lot of things are different. No more khakis to joke around and even work allocation is different, style of management is different. I'm so not use to this.

2 more days
I met up with my ex boss last Tues to express my interest in returning to the company. He agreed straight away and he text me the next morning to tell me that i can return anytime. Immediately in the afternoon, the HR called me and talked to me. Shortly after, my supervisor sent an email to me saying that he was really happy to be able to work with me once again. I feel so blessed to have my bosses being so appreciative. I'm so loving them!
The next day, my HR called me again and told me to start work next Monday. It's really fast eh~!!! Haha. I negotiated a bit and I am able to start working on Wed. During my lazing-around-days... i procrastinated on doing the housework.. now with the deadline given, I need to complete my housework asap. haha~!
For my return, everything will remain as status quo... I also heard that I will be sitting next to my supervisor... hm.. though i don't have the luxury of big space compared to where i was seated previously, I do quite like sitting away from KNS.. not to forget, I will be sitting beside ZX! wahaha~! Also, due to the the increase in number of new staff, all the new lappies (including the one I used before) were all distributed... that means I have to use the dinosaur desktop! haha~! It should be fine lah. I'm gonna use ex-ju's pc, and the IT guy told me he had uninstalled all unnecessary programs to make it respond faster. I like to type on traditional keyboard~!
Okie dokie, time to pen off. Til then~!

Into my 3rd week of rest.
I went Penang last week to visit my PIL and also ate the must-haves delicacy of Penang, namely duck egg char kuey teow （鸭蛋炒果条）, Rojak and Penang Laksa. =)
Returned on Friday afternoon just in time to rest a bit and then head for Gina's wedding dinner at goodwood park hotel. It was a nice dinner except that I had indigestion after that and kept puking for the rest of the night as well as the following day. Probably I ate too much! Haha, such a waste! Right now, I'm back to the healthy me and I'm planning on the meals to cook for the rest this week.
Yesterday I visited Bro's new DBSS flat at Ang Mo Kio Park Central. The environment and location are very nice, just that the flat is a tad too small. Can you actually believe that the toilet is bigger than the kitchen? To see is to believe, and yes, it is true! I think I wont have the mood to cook if my kitchen is that small. The bay windows and 2 balconies are a waste of space... BUT if everything is a little bigger, it would have be a perfect home, a condo-design flat.
Anyway, to sum up this post, this week will be the start of me being a full time housewife. Going marketing later. Aiyo, so embarrassing! hahaaha! Cheerios!

Lazy week
The fourth day of laziness. I became a part time assistant caretaker for little yiting. I had the chance to clear her shit n bath her, when my mum went marketing. It was tough! It was smelly! But it was a great and fun experience. :)
I'm counting down to the day when dear returns, to discuss about my/our future plans, to fix the date of going Penang and clear some of the checklist of "things to do together" since I'm not working at the moment. Really looking forward to that!
Also, I'm in saving mode, a bit stingy to myself now.. Everything that i buy, i will have to consider for a long time. Like, i was whatsapping my dear about having the cuppacino craving for days coz its expensive coffee... Til I finally succumb to it and drank it with mum today at macdonalds. :)

Liberated
I resigned today. I heaved a sigh of relief when my manager walked me out of the office.
Early in the morning I talked to my manager and she sort of expected it. She was not disappointed but just felt a bit wasted coz she felt I didn't try hard enough. My boss also said about the same thing and he ask me to maintain contact with him, drop him a line when I get a new job.
I didnt have to serve any notice. I cleared my desk n email and i was free to go. Not to forget, I still got my pro rated pay. Not bad eh.
Right now, I'm out of job. Though I still have my reserves, I do need to spend a little lesser. That means dear will have a heavier burden now. Once again, I appreciate what he did for me and how he supported me on the past few days. He should be landing in London in a few hours time. I'm missing him already!
Of course, right now without a job, I can meet up my friends for lunch!

7th day of work
The working week seems draggy. As days passed, I realized I was mentally drained every single day. I was no longer happy and chirpy. I stopped cooking since i knocked off slightly later due to unfinished emails n quotations.
Dear was very supportive every single day. He gave me advices, shared with me his experiences etc, but I always ended up sobbing in tears. I was in intense stress. I dont like this. I realized that this may not work out for me. It's only been a week of work. I havent been eating much during lunch. I skipped meals and felt like puking. Maybe partly was due to my menses. But in only a week I became a completely different person.
I broke down on Thursday night. I couldn't take the stress anymore. I teared everytime I touch on my jobs problem. I told my dear ex colleagues my feelings. They encouraged me.
The next day, I went to office to give the job another try. I talked to my manager and my boss, but I dun have any outcome. I guess it was because back in my mind, I've decided. I gave up. I want to resign. I want myself to be happy. I admit mistake that I made the wrong move. I assumed I could do it, but I realize I couldn't.
Today I typed out my resignation letter. I initially minded what others feel and think about me. But dear said, as long as I'm happy and back to my normal self, my dear friends will understand. Dear supported me too. He just wanted me to be happy. I was so glad that he is with me right now, but he is flying again on Monday.
I will tender my resignation on Monday morning. Under probation period, it will be one day notice. I discussed with my hubby, I will take a break to recover my mental mind before deciding what step to take next. So, I will be a temporary tai tai! Haha!

4th day at new job
I had sent out dozens of emails today to inform my customers I will be taking care of their accounts. My manager wants me to meet them and go outfield as soon as possible. Some of them replied almost immediately, which I'm glad they did. I had arranged the meet ups to be from next week onwards. I wonder if I will be going to meet them alone or with my manager.. but i guess i will be alone.
I had scheduled 2 meet ups tmr and my manager is going with me. I hope my first meet up will be enjoyable!

Adjusting to new environment
A fresh start tmr. I hope that I will not have any monday
blues. It was a right decision to start my first working day on a Thurs
(as it falls on the 1st). I just had to work 2 days and I have time to
digest the information i gained over the weekend.
The first day was scary. I had a talk with my boss and it seems like there are a lot of things that I need to learn. He seems like a nice man who has high hopes for me (or maybe simply for the benefit to his own company). He wanted me to get use to the new work, especially getting myself prepared emotionally, as he knew that the transition from doing lab work all these years to a sales job is not an easy task. He had been through it and he knew. Despite saying that, he still stressed me up by saying that he wants to me be involved in product training, and probably some contract stuff with CROs in future. Too early to say that to me. I was overwhelmed.
I then discovered that I am the only sales person who has a strong science background. My manager herself was a business grad. That was part of the reason they chose me (the other reason was a feeling - they sensed my sincerity. haha!). Up till now, all experiments were run by my boss himself and the workload seems to be increasing. So I need to run experiments next time, when there's a need. Great! That means I wont have to forget my lab skills entirely! On the other hand, with the strong science background, training was done in a fast and furious mode. They already expect me to know quite a lot of things. Crash course.
I got a tortoise lappy which seems like taking forever to start up and shut down.. that will be mine throughout my stay and I can bring that back home anytime I want to (which I don't feel like it coz its a heavy tortoise)! I was also given a workphone, an iphone 3GS. -_- with that phone on hand, I knew how to treasure my iphone 4. hahaa~!! oh ya! I was also being told that I need to be in focus for the full 8 hours at work... not to be distracted by chats and smses unless its something life and death. I did for the first 2 days and I can assure you, I was having mobile withdrawal at the end of the day and I was spamming my group whatsapp after that.
First day was over fast and after all those training and big talks, I was mentally drained. I was having fear that I couldnt catch up. I feared a lot of things and kept having my thoughts strayed. Dear was not with me for the first 2 days of work and I had no one to turned to. I felt like crying. Too stressed up I think.Luckily, 2nd day felt better. Probably it was a friday. Took home 2 impt catalogs and wanted to study them over the weekend. But as I am typing this post, the catalogues had been left untouched ever since I placed them on my study table. opps!!
Alright! Time to get ready for tmr! Jia you bluesky~!!

Last day, last time.
Today was my last day at work. Walking towards Biopolis felt very different this morning. Upon reaching office, everything's pretty much the same except that there's a Mr Bean pearly soya milk from beloved ZX as breakfast, as well as a box of merci chocolates from Winnie as a form of appreciation for being her "mentor" for the past 10 days.
There was still work to do, just that it's very minimal. I did cell culturing for the last time in the morning and qPCR for the last time in the afternoon. Koby was very kind to give me the rest of the day free to take pictures with everyone else. We had one last small talk in the meeting room around 3.30pm, coz he said that he would be in a long meeting after that. I was surprised that he gave me a small token of appreciation.
When the clock struck 5.30pm, everyone started to leave. I went around to have the last handshake with the people in PLR. At around 5.40pm, only Chen-san and ZX were still in the office. I gave ZX a very big hug and a handshake before I left.. and I could see that she's trying to control her tears from starting.
I placed my work pass on HR's desk and exited PLR with a heavy heart. I will definitely miss this special place and the people who formed an important part of my life. You know who you are. ;p Love you!

My private affair
I had my farewell dinner with Dr M, Koby, Natori-san and ZX at a restaurant named nanjya monjya in Grand corpthone. It is a typical japanese teppan style restaurant full of japanese. The restaurant is run by 3 jap sisters and thus serves very authentic japanese food.
I am very happy and honored to have the private dinner with the bosses. I have the honor of being "served" by 3 men. They cooked the teppan dishes for ZX and I. We dun have to do anything, except to eat. Very nice food I must say. If I have the chance, I will return to the restaurant. :)
Also, as Takizawa-san will not be around on my last working day due to a biz trip to India, I caught him to take a picture with me yesterday. He only comes in once a week.. so I was lucky I had my camera with me (actually for the dinner that night). Before he left, he gave me a handshake and I was happy! Haha! He's like an idol to me. Beach boys style! haha. Anyway, I am not very satisfied with the only picture I took with him because his hair was a bit too long, he didnt have his spectacles on (which I preferred) and he wore his pants too high! haha.
Oh in addition, my farewell treat with the company organised by the recreation committe was initially a lunch at some restaurant in biopolis, but the kind, fatherly Dr M stepped in and told the guy responsible to change it to dinner and Dr M will be bringing us to a Japanese restaurant again. Yeah! I am really honored once again!
Last but not least, I am counting down to my last working day. 7 days exactly. Emotionally, I am still not able to let go this very nice working place... but my logical side tells me to move on and aim higher. Sigh.... One thing for sure........
I love the bosses in PLR!

Backdated post
I had my 28th bday celebration about a week ago. Time flies and I'm hitting the big 3 in 2 years time. I managed to get the pictures off the camera and here I am, with a backdated post.
I bought an ice cream cake with winnie the pooh picture from swenson.. because I was celebrating with all my cute nieces and they love cartoon cake. It was funny when we asked for the number of candles to be 28 and probably the waitress was thinking.. so childish! We had the cake for tea break and all my nieces enjoyed the cake. Which kid doesn't like ice-cream? Even adults love ice-cream!
In the evening, dear and I went to a restaurant in resort world, the one that we went for our wedding anniversary in feb. Again, the food was really nice and we enjoyed ourselves. Foe grias, lobster, alantic cod, duck breast and hot chocolate soup were what we had. Thinking of those makes me extremely hungry! Here're the pictures!

Foe grias, lobster, alantic cod, duck breast and hot chocolate soup were what we had. Thinking of those makes me extremely hungry! Here're the pictures!
That's it for now. I will upload the rest of the photos in FB!

Dull moments
I wanted to blog about my bday celebrations and the countdown of the number of days left in my current company. However, I need the pictures to be loaded first before I can have a more interesting post. My bday pics were all in dear's DSLR and right now he is on biz trip and thus I am staying over at my mum's place. So bear with me for a while before an interesting post comes up!

Bday celebrations
We had a gathering at ZX's house yesterday to drink coffee (from their newly bought nespresso machine) and updating each other about personal/work life. How time flies, baby Ruixin started crawling, baby Rye is now a cute little boy learning how to form sentences and little Eunice has grown to become a pretty girl.
I was talking to VH about clothes and work when I saw ZX coming out from the kitchen holding a cake. I was asking, "whose cake was that?" And they replied, "it's yours"! I was so touched at that moment and upon going up to see what cake was that and... tadahh~~~! Stitch birthday cake! So sweet! They knew that I love stitch and that was what they got for me. :) *touched* This can be consider my 2nd bday celebrations with my dear colleague, ex-colleagues and soon-to-be ex colleagues. I still remember the first time was at ZX's house as well! We were making chocolate pound cake that time... awww.. once again, how time flies! Here's a photo of the girls, minus SP who is right now studying hard in Japan. :)

Too bad I got to rush off around 5.30pm to head for Little Yiting's bday celebration! She was wearing the dress I got for her as a present. So sweet looking! She seemed to know it was her special day and acted like a host. :) We went Swenson for dinner and she got herself a mini firehouse free :) After dinner we headed home and have the cake cutting ceremony. :) Will post pictures of the bday girl on FB! :)

Plans
It's a new week ahead.
I have to admit, I feel a little sad about not being involved in work after breaking the news that I'm leaving. This is too fast. Dear and ZX told me that I am too sensitive. I think I might have, but womens' instinct are usually accurate! Too bad, this is reality, they have to move on without me.
Just heard about some new plans made by koby from ZX. The new plans that's going to be implemented are definitely better... making work more challenging, getting involved in projects by holding meetings, senior acting as in-charge apart from supervisor etc. I can't help but to wonder, why didn't he think of that before I made the decision? Why only implement this change when everyone's left? Anyway, even if he did implement these earlier, my decision won't change when opportunity comes knocking. It's just a matter of time.
Probably the changes are to make ZX feel more impt in the company, so that she won't drop a sudden bomb like me. So all the best to ZX~!
