took up this role, without much thoughts.. didnt expect I would be occupied with work almost whole day including weekends.. Leading the team is fun, but trusting them and overseeing their work on top of my own work doubles up my workload..
Totally gave up going out for drinks on weekdays, and even clubbing on Friday night became a chore, because i am just too tired end of the week.
instead, i found myself enjoying company of friends for lunch and meet up for dinner before heading back home to work, short trip to JB (w/o taking leave!), going gym twice or three times a week instead of heading to a pub (which is more healthier!), and of course being in a r/s changes everything..
now, it seems like work is settling down, where i am getting used to the stress, expectation, tiredness and crappy mood. I love the new office at cityhall.. I love chilling out at cheesecake house at siglap with loads of magazines.. Love the fresh saturday morning breeze without any hangovers..
This weekend was a nice chill out weekend which I didnt have for a long time. I didnt even switch on my laptop didnt even think about work.. it was all about me myself and him.
it was such a bliss to just chill and enjoy eachother's company..
and it's monday again with a splitting headache...... :P

15 years in Singapore!
Arrived here in 1986.. Left Singapore back to Korea in 1990.. Still young that time, I had no idea wat it was like..
Had good 6 years in Korea.. Secondary School.. begining of high school..
Came back to Singapore 1996 Jan 26th.. I still remember that day so clearly.
It was a real cold day, and my best friends and my boyfriend at that time came to the airport to send me off. It was first time I found out for a fact that, guys do cry...
Arrived Singapore with my brother to join my dad.. house wasnt ready so we lived at the meridien hotel for a month..
Finished my fun international high school, went to lasalle where i had the biggest culture shock (I hated Singaporeans then and couldnt understand Singlish), had the most fun times in Lasalle, graduated got a job and till now...
Now 2007... in Singapore for 11years.. plus the 4 years I had when i was young.. total 15 years..
it is blink of an eye.. More than half of my life I have grown up in Singapore. I call Singapore Home, where Korea became a holiday destination. I am so used to the hot weather, I am so scared of cold.
I am a pure authentic Korean for sure.. And i will never give up my korean passport.
And one day of course I would want to go back.. maybe when i retire.... :P
but sometimes i do wonder.. am i more of a korean or more of a Singaporean?
A questions i still cant answer...
Why do I love Singapore?
1. Chicken Rice and the Chilli!!!! I will crave for this when I am in overseas
2. Sambal blachan... the best chilli! Esp homemade ones are the best
3. Takashimaya and Paragon! The best malls ever
4. Changi Airport.. do i need to say more?
5. SUN! can tan almost every day!
6. Location.. so easy to fly to any countries!
7. Super Airconditioning - be it office, cinema, malls...
8. Clean shiny cars on the road
9. low income tax!
10. buying winter clothes at great d/c price!
11. Great Singapore Sales!
12. Zoo!
13. orchids
14. Pepper Crab at Jumbo!
15. Clubbing - esp Velvet!
16. Everyone seems to know everyone.. small world.
17. Singapore Airlines
18. Yakun kaya toast
19. cheap cab fares
20. Singlish- try explaining when to use "lor", "lah", "leh" end of the sentence?
21. Men! - tell u the truth, i think Singapore men are great! :)
I love Singapore!! and seems like.. I will be here for awhile more ...

What's your personality love style?
Here is the analysis:
Love at first sight is your style.
You are not fussy about who you fall for, and often there seems to be no rational reason for you deciding to love someone, it just happens and you'll follow your heart. When you do fall for someone, you fall completely. Your love is somewhat child-like, or what people like to call "puppy love".
While following your heart is important, you should also remember to use your head occasionally.
oh gosh... is so true........
take the test!

Sun "could" rise from the west tomoro...
I said could not will :P
First time in last one year and half, ever since i started with this new job, i actually took a train to work!!!
I always grab a cab which takes usually 15 mins and costs 7 - 8 dollars..
But waiting for cab about 5-8 mins, and if call a cab, additional $2.50, i decided to try the mrt today...
Besides, i used to take mrt to work everyday in my prev co.. and good weather today with nice cool breeze... could wear my cool new sunnies too :)
So I did, and actual travel time was about 35 mins inclusive of taking the condo shuttle to the train station...
As my boyboy says.. it is a good start.. :)
Lets see how long it will last.. haha..

Feline rulez!!
SYDNEY - An Australian bank has apologised for issuing a credit card to a cat after its owner decided to test the bank's identity security system.
The Bank of Queensland issued a credit card to Messiah the cat when its owner, Katherine Campbell, applied for a secondary card on her account under its name.
'I just couldn't believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security,' Ms Campbell told local media on Thursday.
The bank said the cat's card had been cancelled. 'We apologise as this should not have happened,' it said. -- REUTERS

It's about time i apply supp cards for my babies so they can get their ass off the couch and go and get their own food and treats!!
OMG.. you know wat would be freaky? imagine u get a call from the bank saying your supp card given to Polly Purfect has just made a transaction and has exceeded the credit limit....

"you will know the truth tomorrow morning.."

when you sang for me unplugged..
"I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details..."
you made me want to be that somebody for you..
when i asked you what you feel like doing today..
"Just spend time with you"
when we went shopping u hated so much and keep bugging me..
"Lets go perm eye lash" :D
when u left me alone in the car to top up your cashcard, you walked half way and came back and said with a cheeky grin....
"If anything happens to you, just run, dont scream cuz i cant hear you"
when i was feverish the other nite you came all the way to my place riding in the rain to feed me some bunch of vitamins (but no vitamin C).. and said..
"Shut up and eat. Then you will be strong."
when i was pisst off at you cuz i couldnt feel you like and care about me, you pulled me towards you and said..
"i came all the way here. doesnt this mean anything to you?"
yes...
i know itz too soon.. but am getting smitten all over again...

Things that you do...
Somebody
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

work never ends..
Of course.. if not, i will be out of job..
Work has been hectic for past few days, since my darling boss last day is this friday.. traitor.. :P
He better give me unreleased Nokia phones man!
Handover, getting as much information as possible.. haiz... lucky i am smart.. if not i think i would have jumped down from my balcony, in which wont really help either cuz i stay at the 2nd flr :P
As my friends say, that is why i am getting such a high pay.. yes.. i bring enough dough back home i think.. but seriously, i have no time to spend and enjoy! I was telling my boss, how to work like this.. i got no life.. and he replies:
"tat is why I have stopped going out! do you think Chris Kang (Cisco Systems MD) has life? do you think Lionel Lim (Sun Micro MD) has life? how do u think they got where they are now?"
oh so true... believe me... soon i will have no life while trying to fight my way up the corporate ladder...
Tho busy at work, was able to meet up with good friends for dinner everyday and have good conversation which helps me to relax and be ready for the next day.. and some mojitos of course on some occasion... :p Weekends i am totally shut down and enjoy the company of friends over coffee and meals.. and not forgetting patoh-ing..
This year had up and downs, but mostly, I have grown so much mentally.. been in and out of relationships like changing underwear (seriously!), work has been taken lot of my energy yet spent lots of money and time on clubbing too.. Been travelling alot therefore seen alot, met lot of different kind of people, which made me who I am now.. kinda.. :p
This year was real fast.. blink of an eye.. but was a good year and i hope to end it well too :)
aaawww... Thursday finally... Cant wait till Friday and a weekend with special someone or ones.. hehe ;)

Artist: Kate Havnevik / Title: Grace (From Grey's Anatomy)
Listen to the song.. and read the lyrics..
then you will know exactly what i m feeling..
(song starts at 02:20 minutes)
-------
I'm on my knees
only memories
are left for me to hold
Dont know how
but Ill get by
Slowly pull myself together
Theres no escape
So keep me safe
This feels so unreal
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace
I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold
Like from another world
Come what may
I wont fade away
But I know I might change
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace
Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin?
Nothing can bring me peace
Ive lost everything
I just want to feel your embrace
then you will know exactly what i m feeling..
(song starts at 02:20 minutes)
-------
I'm on my knees
only memories
are left for me to hold
Dont know how
but Ill get by
Slowly pull myself together
Theres no escape
So keep me safe
This feels so unreal
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace
I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold
Like from another world
Come what may
I wont fade away
But I know I might change
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace
Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin?
Nothing can bring me peace
Ive lost everything
I just want to feel your embrace

sweet but bizzare dream
I had the strangest dream last nite..
I was pregnant, happily married to a rich family.
Coincidently, my husband's younger brother's wife is also pregnant so we were at this furniture shop shopping for baby furnitures. And it is those dark teak wood furniture which I love... So we were looking for closet to keep baby clothes, look for baby day bed (yes baby version day bed!) etc.. (must be the influence of ikea catalog i was flipping during the day)
Me and the sister-in-law was happily shopping... Then mother-in-law came in and she was dang gorgeous.. really those tai tai with blings.. she was telling us this is good this is better etc... And FYI we live together - since we are darn rich, think we live in this big house and babies have a seperate room! but dang... i woke up before actually seeing the house... :P
Then tada~ my husband came with his younger brother - they are in family business of some sort - in flashy bimmer....
but.. i cant figure out how my hubby looked like. he was tall with good built.. prob look alot like my ex ex. anyway he was so generous and loving.. he kind of reminded me of my dad... we walked around the furniture store holding hands and he was like picking the furniture for me saying i need a new dresser etc etc....
but then i woke up....
It was very warm and nice dream..
---------------
And this is the interpretation of the dream.. 28D went to find out for me..
To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.
and i think... it is scary but true...

Drowned in red wine....
Ever since i came back, have been overdosed with red wine every day...
As my trainer always tells me, don't drink alcohol too much... but a little bit of wine is ok... :)
I dont like beer.. It just makes me full and go pee all the time. spirits are fine, but only when I want to get drunk and go crazy... :P So i settled down with red wine. Two to three glasses, I am happy and quite rightly drunk :P
Kind of learnt how to taste wine and differentiate the difference in wines.. but to me seriously, it doesnt matter.. wine is wine. as long as it is sauvignon or chardonnay... Just for knowledge sake i know wat is good and expensive wines so when i go dinner with angmohs and stuff I can pretend that i do know :P
i prefer 100 bottles of 20 dollar cheap but good wines than to 2000 dollars Grande bottle..
ahhh... how i wish right now, have a bottle of red wine, with my ipod and a good book lie down on a daybed in Bali... and watch the clouds go by.........

Back in Seoul again
Left San Fran this morning and now I am in Seoul.. Didnt sleep for 12 hours on the flight. Watched all the movies available and some, i watched 3 times.
Now I feel like a zombie.... brain dead... but the first things i do when i came home? Check my work email... damn... this is pathetic.. all i think about is work, work and work.. and of course my cats..
Overall San Fran trip was a blast. Worked hard, meetings whole day, socialise, went out everynight.. Now as an account manager officially, everyone was congratulating me.. and that actually adds pressure... i am so stressed! i have to change my sign off as "Regional Account Manager" now but that title comes with great amount of responsibility.. So I am still refusing to change my sign off... but one good thing? seems like there will be quite alot of travelling to do next year :) Free trips in company expense.. that I like!
Anyway, i will have two nights here in Seoul and head back home... From Wednesday, big meetings.. sigh...!
Seoul weather is not as cold as SF.. SF weather was beautiful... Sunny yet chilly.. Seoul is bit more gloomy..
I miss my cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In San Fran again.. and am so tired!
It is nice to be back.. third time already... Everything is now so familiar and know what to expect..
Know which shop to go and shop, where to eat, what to do...
Overall, nice weather.. cool and breezy but sunny..
Met up with my best friend, who moved here few months ago.. it was nice.
Met up with my ex, and it was wierd. but we are fine.. it is so wierd that the moment i saw him at the airport, it was like, no emotion no feeling. just felt like looking at a colleague who came to pick me up... tot i might fall for him again, but no... Maybe it is a proof that i moved on and he moved on..
And now, we are fine.. we have mutual understanding... :P
I am so tired.. it is wednesday today, and my jet lag is still lurking...
Went to napa yesterday... Accounts planning meeting.. haha but it was more like account managers and directors fun day out.. napa is nice.. but californian wines.. hmmm.... not my thing.. i like aussie wines better... and my all time fav.. cloudy bay... :)

Restless
Had a good holiday at langkawi..
Lots of sun, laughter, eat and alcohol... able to do silly and stupid stuff without needing to think..
Got really cooked and burnt and now, my face is peeling.. :|
My mind and brain had a total shut down.. which is amazing cuz usually when i am on holiday, i will still think about work and stuff... but this time round, i had a total shut down... must be the good company..
This coming weekend I will be leaving for San Franciso...
It's my third trip already to frisco, but in which this time round, it will be a bit different.. and sadly, i dread to go.. i wan to rest at home with my kitties.. I dread to be on the 16 hours flight... aaarrrggghh...
However, one thing i look forward to is meeting my best friend at Cheese Factory at Union SQ.. Who just moved to SF few months back to be with her bf.. so that would be super cool!
Then on my way back I have two nights in Seoul again... a relief!
Then when reach Spore i have full one week APAC eMarketing meeting... busy busy..
Then it will be december, and i have to go and haunt for a purfect Christmas tree for this year... thinking of buying a real pine tree this time.. :)
