Goodbye 2010 and Hello 2011

2010 is coming to an end and we are going to welcome 2011 in another 13 days. What are the resolutions you have made for 2010 and have you fulfil what you wanted to complete in 2010?

Quite disappointed with myself. Here I am still in the same company, getting additonal workload, getting slightly higher salary after going through a major retrenchment exercise.

During the major retrenchment exercise, I realised that my colleagues located in different countries have worked here for most of their lives and they got retrenched as because we are closing those markets. To be frank, I was quite worried that I was in the retrenchment list.

Not too sure if I should consider myself lucky or unlucky to stay behind. Lucky could mean that I still maintain a job; unlucky meaning more job responsibilities waiting for me.

After this exercise, yes, my work load is heavier than before. I have to learn new things, taking up more responsibilities and also having to stay back in office more often than before.

Am I happy? Yes and No. It's always good to learn more in the course of work. But taking more responsibilities and heavier work load.... really got to depend on situations and also what kind of s**tty stuff I have to handle.

I do hope that everyone has completed whatever you have set for yourself in year 2010. We should prepare ourselves for Year 2011.

时间是宝贵的

Tempus fugit is a Latin expression meaning "time flees", more commonly translated as "time flies". It is frequently used as an inscription on clocks. The expression was first recorded in the poem Georgics written by Roman poet Virgil: Sed fugit interea fugit irreparabile tempus, singula dum capti circumvectamur amore, which means, "But meanwhile it flees: time flees irretrievably, while we wander around, prisoners of our love of detail."

The meaning is sometimes used less colloquially as: "Meanwhile, the irreplaceable time escapes", expressing concern that one's limited time is being consumed by something which may have little intrinsic substance or importance at that moment.

时间是不等人的。要充分利用手上的时间才不会浪费在不必要的东西或人事物。

Aaron Kwok De Show Reel World Tour Encore Live in Singapore

今天跟往常的礼拜五一样。照常去上班、照常有很多很多工作要完成。 不过在中午吃饭时却收到一个我想不到的礼物。那就是郭富城演唱回的入门票！！！ 真是很惊讶！！也好开心啊！！今天早上还在考虑是否要买两张票。。谁知道我的体贴老公却舍得买两张最贵的门票给我做母亲节礼物。真感动啊！

这个意外又惊喜的礼物让我决得礼拜五是快乐的，繁忙的工作也没有关系！ 好希望6点钟可以快点到来。

郭富城始终还是有魅力-真不愧是四大天王之一。到了现场发现已有人在等候了！才1830有好多fans以等候多时了。

看看周围，发现大多数的fans都和我们差不多的年龄。应该可以猜到他们也是被郭富城的成名曲-＂对你爱不完＂和当时的蘑菇发型给吸引了。我也是被这首歌和发型给深深的吸引了。别忘了还有他的精湛舞蹈。

演唱回一开始，整个新加坡室内体育场里充满了欢呼和尖叫声。每个人都挥着手上的荧光棒，让整个现场都亮起来！好美啊！

最精彩的是他可以站在旋转舞台上劲歌热舞。真佩服郭富城的表演。450度旋转舞台应该是世上第一个。它的变化就像transformer一样。

要不是自己看了这场演唱会，真的不可能体会我朋友去年看过郭富城演唱会的兴奋。

Regi's first day of reservist 8 feb 2010

Today is the first day of torture for me..... Going to work myself using public transport. I am not a little princess neither am I a spoiled brat. It's just about waking up EXTRA early and fighting for a seat on the bus or train.

This morning decided to take a bus instead of train so that I can sleep throughout the 1 hour journey and yes, I was sleeping thru the whole journey. Haha....

But this is not the main thing, it's about Angeline. We always thought that to her, papa is someone for her to bully around, we are WRONG!!!

After today, I realized that papa is so important to her and she really misses papa very much. When she woke up this morning at 645am and realized that papa went out already and papa never wake her up to say bye bye to her, she was very unhappy.

And she also started to realize that papa is not coming back today cos he's staying in camp. That's the funny thing, it's not papa's first time to stay in camp but somehow this time round, it affects her badly.

When I called her this afternoon, she kept asking me "why papa never wake me up and say bye bye to me?" and when I told her that papa was rushing to go to camp cos papa was late. She kept quiet and I can tell that her voice was breaking when she talked to me.

In the late afternoon, papa called her and she kept asking "papa, why you never come home today?"....

By the time I came back after work, she was so happy to see me but I can tell that she is disappointed that papa was not with me. While telling papa "good night... 我爱你...." over the phone, her nose turned red and eyes became watery. And she started tearing. Anything that associated with papa - watering the plants, feeding the fish will bring tears to her eyes.

The worst part came when I sent her to bed with me. She started sobbing to herself. And when I asked her why is she crying.... She asked me "why so late papa not home yet?". She was still waiting for papa to come back at this point.

I explained to her that papa needs to stay in camp cos papa is going for exercise early in the morning. But that doesn't stop her tears from falling down her cheeks...

I told her papa will try to come back to see her if papa has the time tomorrow evening but nothing is confirmed. And papa will be back on Thursday afternoon if papa passes his exam tomorrow. Still doesn't help. Tears still flow down her cheeks without control. No matter how I pamper her, talk to her, distract her, nothing helps.

Until she asked me for papa's t-shirt. I asked her why she wants papa's t-shirt, she replied "papa can protect me". She kept smelling papa's t-shirt for papa's smell. And she wanted me to remind the maid not to wash this t-shirt cos she is going to hug it to sleep every night til papa is back from camp. This will be her
'臭臭' when she goes to sleep every night.

No matter how Angeline treats papa on any days, from this reservist, it just show how much she loves her papa and how much she misses her papa.













Papa, these pics will show you how much Angeline loves and misses you..... <3<3
