MRT/LRT Extension

The Singapore MRT/LRT system is something that is worth being proud of as it is a boost to Singapore's extensive transport system. Recently, there had been a few extensions to the current MRT/LRT line. In 2010, there was the start of the Waterfront Station of the Sentosa Express to serve the masses flocking to the new Sentosa Resort World and Universal Studios Singapore. From today, the new Circle Line is opened for 11 stations along the line. =)

So Sad la...

Just thinking of me missing my june bonus this year makes me very sad. An extra 1 mth plus to 2mths of bonus makes a lot of difference to me lor... urgh, why do I have to leave in June? This is so super wasted... Almost half a year of work and no bonus. Feel so cheated. Haiz... I'm just so sad la... leave me alone or I might bite... :(((

The Day My Hair Changed Colour...

Went for a highlighting + treatment + haircut session with sis at Tampines today as we were both on leave. I chose a burgurdy red colour for my highlight and sis chose something blondish/yellowish. Since this was the first time I highlight my hair, I was rather nervous about how it might turn out to be.
After about 3hrs, everything was done but I couldn't really see much difference to my hair except for a tinge of reddness. I was a little disappointed at the outcome cos it wasn't like a totally fresh image of me with highlighted hair. I guess it was because my hair was quite stubborn and didn't take in the colour too well. Otherwise, it could be cos my hair was too dark in the 1st place. Anyway, the haircut itself was not bad la, although I feel that the hairstylist kinda snipped away too much of my hair...
However, I found the price a bit too steep as my highlight was only a single tone (mine cost $170plus) and also cos the result of my highlight wasn't that satisfactory.
Since I will be back to work on Thurs, let's just see whether my colleagues notice anything different about my hair... haha :p

Dinner @ Sushi Tei

It's my friend's birthday tomorrow and I decided to arrange for a last minute gathering with her and another close friend of ours. We met at Sushi Tei @ Tampines 1 for dinner. All 3 of us had known each other since primary school but had only recently started to meet up again. It was a nice gathering and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
Hope I can have more of such gatherings with close friends of mine before I leave for the States. :)

感慨。。。

有时候，难免觉得这个社会很现实，也很残酷。很多事情都是我们无法控制的。也有很多人和事不是我们想象中那么完美的。我们必需学会去接受和面对，才能融入这个生活的圈子里。所谓“适者生存”大概就是这个意思吧。。。

I hope I did the right thing by telling her the truth...
When she asked me directly, I didn't know how to react and hesitated before trying to deny it. However, it was not in my blood to lie, I feel uneasy and eventually decided to tell her the truth. I will be leaving soon and what harm does it make? I just hope that she'll keep it to herself like she promised...

Disappointment...

Can't help feeling so disappointed with my current boss and supervisor...
I was given a good grade for my appraisal this year. However. they have recently heard from a colleague which I confided in about my plans to leave the company and asked me about it during appraisal. I felt a tinge of betrayal. Why that of all times? I do not intend to keep it from them since I had already decided. So, I went ahead and told them the truth. To my disappointment, they actually wanted to change my appraisal grade in view that I may not be able to benefit from it if I intend to leave soon. At the moment I really feel like crying. This is so so unfair... If they think I deserve a good grade, they shouldn't do that to me. It's not the monentary value that counts. It's the satisfaction that you get from knowing that you have done your job well. Therefore, getting a good appraisal grade is like a form of encouragement for me. Although they didn't make any changes in the end (but who knows whether they will change their mind later...), it was already a wound etched deep in my heart with recognition of what kind of people they really are.
It's really hard to have employers who do not understand or appreciates you well enough. If they still decide to change my appraisal grade because of such a stupid reason, so be it... Maybe I had made a right decision to leave after all...
