the hunger games

recommended novel to read! didn't read it until my sis told me it's nice, just a bit sadistic at some parts. which is true. it's another trilogy story, which makes it to the theaters. the first book will be on the screen on 23rd march in singapore. yeayyy.. can't wait to watch it (oops, sounds like the capitol citizens haha).

1. the hunger games : explains the background of the story, what the game is about, the history of the country, outlines all the important characters throughout the trilogy. the ending can be easily predicted since there are 2 more books after this. i got too engrossed reading it until 330am in the morning. finished it within one day hahaha..

2. catching fire : a bit boring because it's a bit of repetition of the first book with another hunger games being held. however, the ending is very hanging. lucky i'm reading when all three books are out. hahaha... here the author mentions the rest of the victors of previous hunger games.

3. mockingjay: the finale. conclusion of the war between districts and the capitol (oops, spoil alert for some who haven't read). quite a happy ending with the main characters remain alive.

anyway, can't wait to see all the 3 books on the big screen! but when i watched the trailer, i realized they altered the story to suit. haii.. as expected.. they won't be able to follow the author's imagination 100%. i want to know what it will become of the songs written in the books. how will they come up with the tunes? hahah

good byee..

(note: when i said "boss" it means i'm referring to the director who has been working very closely with me for the past 1.5 years. the rest i will just call as director haha)

this is my hardest good bye :( after thinking for a long time, i still decided to leave my work place. made my boss upset (i think) even though he didn't show it. i felt really sorry for him.

after CNY, everything went so fastttt.. got 2 more weeks remaining for working. told my most hard working seniors that i'm going to leave the following week. clearing up all the things. handing over the task to the rest of the team member.

i also felt very sorry to one of my seniors who has to handle one of my project alone after 2 juniors left at the same time :( so sorrryyy...

yesterday and today i keep clearing my stuff. wanted to take before-after photo, but forgot... so instead, i present to you halfway-after photo hahaha..

halfway done

after

in the end not really cleared everything lah.. still left a lot of stationery and files and boxes :p those two A4 boxes are empty. the huge box on the left is for my director. hahahah sorry huh.. since you didn't mention who will take over my project, so i will pass it to you.. and umm.. i left the rest of the drawings in my compactor, 2 rows of my 3-row-shelves :) enjoy it! oh, and the other one row, i passed over the space to my boss muhahahaha

and i got souvenirs: paper cuts and bruises. my boss warned me not to get paper cuts. howwww... i told him i experienced a lot already.hahahah can't be avoided oneeee

my boss still very nice to me T.T yest when i was clearing my stuff, he walked over to my place and asked for any documents / drawings need to be passed to him. then he helped me clear all my drawings T.T today didn't get a chance to meet him for a long time and even said goodbye. but it's okay, i overheard yesterday that he didn't like to say farewell. so ok loh :p i just left a gift for him. and for my 3 beloved seniors hahaha.. hope they all like it.

most of my colleagues were surprised when i told them i handed over my project mostly to directors and seniors. hahaha.. that means you really lack of young engineers lehhhh... go go go!! look for the E1, M1 and M2 haahah

well.. it has been a very great experience, very interesting line of work, but too interesting until you can't sleep hahaha. i will miss my company so much :( maybe the emails too :p but not the chasing. hmm.. maybe? hahaha..

anyway, i'm hoping for the best for all of my colleagues and project teams (client, contractor, architect, structure engineers). looking forward for the projects to be done and i can smile looking at it :)

yeah, it's february. valentine's day mode in the air!

i consider this quite nice song. i just found out it's twilight's soundtrack haha.

dilemma

happy new year everyone! (both for the new year new year and the chinese new year haha)

i.. dunno what i want hahaha..

2 months ago i was very certain i want to quit my job. now, i threw letter already, start to question myself. if not bcos of my super nice boss, i won't think so hard. he's.. really trying hard to make me stay. the rest.. like.. errr.. asked me to have a talk with them just for formality. only got one other director who asked me "sure want to leave ah? confirm?", but he's not trying so hard like my boss.

surprised that today he still sms-ed me trying to make me stay. i tot i made it clear on last friday that i made my decision, don't want to stay and that's it. he even tried to push forward my pay review @.@ and took me out of one job (but he's not the director, so i don't know how he can do it) to reduce my work load.

i just can't picture myself in another 2 years in this line. i think i will be like one of my seniors, who does the work merely bcos he has to do it.

yeah it's true i like the company and the ppl. but if i don't like the work? even if it's reduced? yeah i know i'm gg to be transferred to his team and will be doing his jobs and i think i'll be fine. but.. his jobs are all big ones
-____-  no project with GFA less than 50,000. what the heck... (well, maybe HDB projects ahahah)

AHHHH.. need to reply his sms tmrw zzzzzzzzzzz

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

haha, come what may on tuesday, i hope i still can get through it..

and i wanna enjoy my new year! yeahh.. come new year, i will submit my resignation letter. it's final. i hope they don't try to hold me so hard. i will just say i got a very good offer from other company already. (i'm sorry for lying T.T but gotta do it)

i welcome you, 2012!

btw, i became the singer for today's service :p dun think i sang well tho. i like these two songs which we sang during the service today. hope you all enjoy!

there are 2 annoying frogs in my life. why frog? cos they remind me of frogs. hahha...(jahat emang, tp emang miripp...)

one looks like this picture:

she's skinny, have huge and widely separated eyes and annoying. every monday morning she gives me nightmare. asking me this and that. T.T lately it's getting better though.. hopefully it will keep getting better.

the other one looks like this:

he has very thick lip, eyes that are jutting out and annoying. hahahah.. every tuesday morning he gives me nightmare. complain why we never think of this and that. where is our deliverables. why everything never do properly and up to his expectation.

sigh..

i think if these two got married, it will be ... i dunno.. horrible?

and i have to face them right at the beginning of my week.

and one of them used to give nightmare every sunday night T.T

it's getting creepy now haha..

i think my sis and i hv some sort of psychic connection.

just now she said she was getting sleepy because she listened to bossanova song. then i hummed "girl from ipanema". she surprised. she said she just listened to that. i wasn't even able to listen to the song coming out of her headphones just now. just got a feeling i should hum that song hahahaha..

few days back something similar happens too. in the shower i was singing some song (which i can't remember now) in my mind. after finished showering, went into my room, found my sis singing that song aloud. i asked whether i accidentally sang that song previously or not. she said no, i didn't sing anything. hahaha...

we are the psychic sisters! :p

i need a break...
