A surprise outing

Well, well... today's outing wasn't a pre-planned outing. It was set when my dear Mel texted me to hang out and so we went, me, Dave and Mel.

As usual, we walked around, shopped around which I didn't get myself anything, funny coz I don't have the mood to buy anything. I guess I was too tired since I bowled earlier this afternoon. Bowling was fine but wasn't marvelous. Score sucks! Anyway, ignore the bad stuff coz I want to focus on the happy stuff today. =)

Mel got herself some accessories which was great. Hmm.. feeling regret not getting anything for myself. Nevermind, at least I get to save $$ (hope Mel won't read this).

Seeing Mel in her new haircut really made me more desperate for a new haircut too.. but I have to withstand the temptations as I will have have my hair cut next month since Chinese New Year is 2 months ahead. I don't just need a new hair cut but a hair FIX. Can't wait to see how my hair will turn out to be. Hopefully it will be ok, fingers crossed!

After dinner, Mel suddenly brought out her camera which I drained her battery totally just to camwhore. *giggles* Well, obviously I wasn't a good poser. I had Mel to guide me in which I still fail. I'm always stiff and only shows the same facial expression and pose. However, today I dared myself (though still fail). We laughed so much and I enjoyed the outing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

First of all, a very MERRY CHRISTMAS greeting to everyone! Again, a long pause since my last entry. I have been lazy and busy at the same time. This year's Christmas wasn't as great as any others. Well, due to a few reasons.

A month or two ago, the company I'm working in abolished the OT claims and that was after a salary reduction. That left us or probably myself only unhappy. However, the positive side of this is I don't have to work myself to at least 11 - 10 hours a day which really tires me. The bad side, yeah as you all can guess, lower income. Since started working for OTs months ago, I got myself a stiff neck which still hurts whenever I bend my neck backwards. Not sure if it's due to work or posture or even my sleeping posture.

Then, due to year end, workload increased. We have to work more despite no claims but then the company decided to allow OT claims from the 23rd till month end. Not to mention the tiny claims. I still don't find the appreciation I deserve from this company. Since they allow claims, I couldn't get myself to punch out as usual. I don't want to see my colleagues to suffer due to manpower shortage. I was so tired that I was asleep during the countdown. What a sad Christmas year, no where to go, nothing to do..

A week ago, the company offered me a not too good position which I need to be based in another state. I have other things in mind that's why I never request for more.

Apart from work, my mouth is giving me trouble. It hurts whenever I open my mouth as the sides were cracked. It was windy recently and probably it's dry. Like the Chinese say, dry wind *lol*. It has always been like this every year end. Oh ya..have a I mentioned dry lips as well? It bleeds every now and then despite how many gallons of water I drank each day. However, it's slowly recovering.. since I have to open my mouth every now and then, speak, eat, drink and even to brush my teeth.

Seems like I start of this entry sadly. Enough of that I supposed. During the Christmas season, shopping malls are known to set up nice Christmas decorations and I've only managed to visit a few. However, I didn't take shots for all of them. Just a few.

Manage to meet my Mentor (Yap) with my colleague (WenHan).
At MidValley, with Candles.

Oh ya, I'm currently into hair bands and other unique accessories.. As you can see in the pictures. I think those hairbands can at least keep my hair slightly tidier. Ya.. I know, it looks like a mess.. and now I have to crack my head to find the right hairstyle for myself for the coming new year. Any ideas?

Once again, Merry Christmas everybody! May your Christmas be joyful and wonderful and memorable and nice and glorious etc etc.
