Chinese+Singh=?
Hello,its Monday and i just came back from lunch.
Well, i had been very tired for the past week, tat's why i was not able to write my diary. Its no fun working in 2 depts. I have been running around for the past few days. On Saturday i was at CSC covering for them. Shitty!
Well, at first the arrangement was that i was helping out till 4th and then Elsie told me on Friday that they might need to extend as they have not yet got a replacement. Well, i'm just keeping quiet and praying hard that they get a CSO soon. But the relief is that PPS is not rigid like CSC.
Its a bit more relaxed here. Maybe its because i just started but then i still think its better here.
I don't need to sign in and out. Noone monitors u and also tracks you. I left for lunch at 12.30 and i came back at 2 and nobody noticed. Anyway i'll be free at PPS for the next two days as Serene is away for course. I guess i'll just help Mrs Goh if she needs any.
Anyway one of my uncle, Nathan came over on Saturday. It was nice to see him after a long time. He's my favourite uncle and it was really fun joking with him and talking to him. He's such a cool guy. He overnighted at my place and left for home on Sunday.
Anyway Kumar's friend, Siva sent me this riddle and i immediately knew the answer,. Here it is:
The offsprings of a Chinese and an Indian are known as Chindians. So what are the offsprings of a Chinese and a Singh known as?
The answer: Chibais!!!!!
Hehehehehe-Kumar told me that i'm a pervert..i told him you just need to think....hehehehehe....i think i must the fastest to answer him....hehehehehe..
Ok,i think i am going to spend the rest of the day, surfing the net...a great way to relax...

5-day work week for Civil Servants
Hello,
2nd half-a-day at PPS. So far so good!
As usual, i had to go to CSC in the morning to help them clear their shit and then come to PPS in the afternoon to do my job. I have not learnt anything yet. Just continuing some data-entry from yesterday.
Here everyone minds their own business and are much more serious...at least CSC was much more jovial. But anyway i can adjust to both and it doesn't matter to me. Still smiling at everyone, i think it'll take me a while before i can settle down here with everyone.
Have you heard the news?-Five-day week work for Civil Servants is in the books.
Tomorrow will the official announcement on it. This is really good news. Gives me more time for myself.I can sleep longer on weekends now. Man, i have so many plans for my Saturdays.....hehehehehehehe! This is a very good change for me.
Yesterday after work, went to G-value to buy some things and i bought instant milo and coffee packets and also some biscuits to munch on here at the office. I brought the drink packets to work. I think i'll bring the biscuits to work tomorrow. Must put them in tupperwares and bring them.
The only shitty thing here is that both pantries here are quite far away from me and so is the toilet...oh well, guess this is for me to exercise walking since this is more desk-bound job then at CSC. I feel so sian, thinking about working at 2 places. So shitty! I'm tired already!
Been trying to change my approving officer for courses and leave but the stupid MOE Intranet is down-guess i'll do it tomorrow.
I'm feeling hungry, wonder what my mum cooked.........

My first day at SPS...
Hello, I'm now in my new office at my new table...
In the morning, i went to CSC to help out abit since they do not have a replacement yet. I have to be doing this for another 2 weeks. Hope they get a new CSO soon. After came to PPS and arranged my table with my dolls and stuff. Already moved them here on Saturday. This table is a bit smaller though. Anyway my table is very clean now, just decorated with dolls and stickers and nice calendars.
Mrs Goh is my buddy, she is kinda of teaching me around. Actually i haven't learnt much yet. Just did some data-entry. This dept staff are stuck-up so i'll be stuck up too. Hehehe! I need to get a lunch buddy soon.
Anyway i'm not so stressed today, just a bit bored. Hopefully i get some things to do in days to come.
And ya, this weekend was quite good. After work on Saturday went to my aunt's place at Ang Mo Kio and then talked cock with my cousin bro & nephews and played with them. Then my nephews' tuition teacher came for tuition. He is actually the brother of the ex-tuition teacher. The ex-teacher was really very handsome. Like Bollywood actor-this one not so bad la. But not as handsome as the other one. Then my two cousin bros and me and my bro went to watch a tamil movie at Yishun-midnight show. Very funny. Then came back at 5 am. Then slept like a pig.
I have not spoke to Serene abt my off days and stuff. Need to talk to her about these, i think tomorrow la.
Ok, gotta go home. Wanna go and get some stuff to keep in my drawer-what are those things-FOOD of course!!!!

I'm shagged!
Hello,
Good morning!
I am really very tired. I have slogging at work since Tuesday. Monday was a bit relaxed. Then from Tuesday till yesterday it was like chaos. Too many things to do for the re-organisation. To top it off, there was also CSO Training. Been going home very late. So decided to take my half-day off today. I'm just too tired. Wanna relax-feeling stressed!
I have not yet moved my stuff to PPS (Pupil Placement Section-tat's where i'm gonna be.) Don't know where i'll be sitting. I think i'll call Serene tomorrow-she's my reporting officer.
Anyway there's still no replacement for me and i wonder how its gonna be. Aiyoh, so leche!
Watched the 'Singapore Idol' yesterday. From thousands to the final 30. I'm really impressed with Singaporeans-didn't know we had quite a lot who could sing.
I wonder how my new job is going to be like. Hopefully it should be good.
Ok, me gonna clear somethings before i leave, i'm tired!

Marriage and Kids!!
Hello, its a Monday and back to work.
Well on Saturday, Felicia and i had a small talk. She wanted me to stay on as she felt that Admin might go haywire after i leave. I actually pity her too. Willy who is going to become the Admin CSE is kind of hopeless and i told her tat i'll consider.
Don't know how la.....
Anyway my weekend was nothing great. Just the normal cleaning the house and watching TV.
Anyway today Felicia is on MC and i called her just now to talk. She's pregnant but then she's bleeding a bit and she's not really stable yet.
We had a nice talk again but this time about the re-organisation and stuff. Then we also talked about her pregnancy and getting married. She was telling me to get married faster and also about having kids. She also said that having kids late may cause some problems. We might not even have kids when we want....
After putting down, i realise a lot of things....what she says is true. Its good to have kids faster as to make sure there is no generation gap. And also sometimes its not so good to drag a relationship too far.But then at the same time, i'm not sure if i am ready to settle down and have children. And also bear the responsibilty of running a household and a family. Its a very big load and it also requires money. I still need to save up for my marriage and also for the house.But then i also don't wanna get married late and then have trouble having kids. And obviously i don't want to have a relationship like mine and my mum where both of us don't understand eachother-thanks to the generation gap... Man, its a lot of things to consider...
I think tonight i'm gonna have a good talk with Kumar and let's see what we both come up with.
Ok, i have just another week at CSC, kind of making me sad but then i should welcome the new change and hope for the best.
I'm thinking of highlighting my hair but then should i or should i not! Don't know leh!!! The colour on my hair is fading...hhmmm..

I'm becoming a PIG!!!
Hello, just in case you are wondering what i am doing at this time in the office...i just stayed back so that i can finish some of my personal stuff like filing my pay-slip,leave balance and etc so that i know what to bring to my new office.
And i also cleared some of the pending e-mails that i had and forwarded them to my friends and deleted some unnecessary ones.
Yesterday i was on mc. Decided to take yesterday coz i know that i won't be able to take MC till i move to SPS.
Did nothing much, just slept, watched TV and then went with Kumar to Boon Lay Shopping Centre. He wanted to buy some bermudas and t-shirts.
Acutally i am feeling kinda sad and afraid of what my new job scope is gonna be. Hopefully its good.
Lately i'm pigging out badly. On Wednesday, i almost wanted vomit coz i just couldn't digest my dinner. Been really eating a lot more than i should. A lot of fast-food lately too! Anyway everyone is saying tat i'm too thin.May i should put some weight.....
Ok, i think i wanna leave, go home and eat and watch TV. Doesn't my life sound a bit boring. I wanna find some tuition assignments but i can't get any....Anyway somethings i think its better this way, i have some free time for myself.
Ok, bye-bye!!!

Singapore Idol has started!!!!!!!
Hello, I'm back after a long break!
I had a very good break for the past few days.
Friday:
I was on leave. Was supposed to go Malaysia to my granny's place but the plans were spolit thanks to my bro's operation. I slept until 1 pm,i was really very tired. Then i just spent the day cleaning the house. Then in the evening, i went to temple with Kumar.
Saturday:
Went to Tekka with my mum to do groceries shopping. Came back and did more cleaning. Then just spent the time watching TV. In the evening, Kumar came to my house with 2 of his friends and we had a fun time laughing. We also ordered pizza. Pizza Hut has this Buy-One-Get-One-Free promotion and its good. I took Super Supreme and Pepperoni lovers. The Pepperoni Pizza is good. Very chessey! Tastes great when its hot.
Sunday:
Went to the market in the morning. Its been quite a long time since i went to the market.Then came back and helped my mum to cook. Then just idled away watching TV. In the evening, Kumar and i went to watch a Tamil movie-New. Quite a ok movie la. Then came back and had dinner and talked cork.
Monday (National Day):
Was quite a boring day. Helped my father to mop the house and then made some tea-break for my family to eat and took a bath and that's it. I finished all my work at 3pm and then i just spent the time watching TV.
Then in the evening, after the parade,watched Singapore Idol-Man it was really very hilarious!!! Cannot tahan laughing la. I was waiting very anxiously for this show to begin!Singaporeans are really getting thick-skinned and funny!!!Can't wait for the second episode on Wednesday.
Today i spend most of the time, clearing my stuff. Not much things to bring back but quite a lot of shred. Most of the stuff are my dolls..hehe!
Ok, gonna go home-bye bye!!
Kumar and I took this Neoprint pic at Lot 1 on our way back home after the movie.

Ms Cleopatra 2004 Finals
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!I'm on course today. This is now my lunch time. Came back to fax some urgent stuff..
Yesterday was the Finals of the Ms Cleopatra pageant at Raagawood!! Before i announce the results, i'll just fill in the details.
After work, went back, took a bath and rushed to Tekka. All of us did our make-up and hair-do at Indigo Palace, same place where i did my make-up for the photo shoot. It was good. Then the club sent a van to pick us up and we reached the club at abt 8.30pm.
My mum and her two colleagues,my cousin Balan and Kumaran, Aminah, her boyfriend Abdullah, her friends Jarry and Rajan whom i know came down also to support me.
My first segment was a dance, with Ricky. He's a dance choreographer, a bit sissy la..hehe!
Then we had the saree segment. You know the shitty thing was that we had no make-up artist to help us to touch up and dress up. We had to do everything ourselves. Then the hair-do was a simple bun and we were given pins and clips to decorate it. I should say i was a bit creative yesterday. My arrangment with the clips was good. Hehehehe!!
I looked good in my saree. Was very nervous but then i tried to smile as much as i could. My mouth was aching from all that smiling.
Then the evening gown segment. I wore a silver gown. In this round, was my Question & Answer round. I was damn blady tensed on what my question might be..
This was my question:Career or Motherhood: What would you choose?
My answer:Honestly, i would choose Motherhood as i think that it completes a woman's life. Its a gift to be able to deliver a child and nurture to become someone in the society. Career is just about money and going up the corporate ladder. It doesn't give you a purpose in life. Motherhood gives you joy and satisfaction.
Wow, i tell you, i don't know where that came from but....everyone i met after that, told me that i had given the best ans. Even one of the judges mouthed 'Very good' to me!!!I was thrilled!
After that we had an half-hour break. Even around to mingle with my friends and family for a while.
Then came the moment of truth-all 10 of us were very tensed!! I was shaky!!
When the MC started calling out the names, i was very surprised everytime, my name was not called out. When there was only 3 of us left, i was extremely thrilled. I never thought that i would be in the top 3 and......i'm the 2nd Runner-Up (3rd position)!!!!!!!!!
I was like....AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Never did i expect that!
These are my prizes:A trophy, a ticket to Jakarta, $500 cash, a sash, and a bouquet of flowers.......
Hehehehe! I'm extremely happy!! Never did i ever think that i would get it.
Anyway Navitha was the 1st Runner-Up(2nd place) and Serene was the Winner. She deserves it.
Came back and slept at 4.30am. Woke up at 8, just in time to bath and leave for the course.
Ok, i gotta go!
I'm happy!I'm happy!I'm happy!I'm happy! :)
Me during the saree round!
After the results, with the trophy!
Me, Serene & Navitha...

On Tuesday, I called Pam just to confirm some stuff about the make-up and timing. She told me that i have to be more confident and smile more and she said that i might just be in the top 3. That has boosted my morale a bit more. I wonder how i am going to perform tonight!!!!
I finish at 3 today, Gotta rush home and take a bath and then go to the club.
Oh boy,i'm excited!!!!!!
Ok ok, i better stop!! I'll go on and on about the pageant.

Poor Alvin (in hospital!)
Hello, i'm back after a short break(a very short one actually..)
On Friday, I went back at abt 9+, had this protruding headache and went to see the doc and went back home. Tried calling home to inform my mum but no one was at home. Called her hp and no ans, same thing for my bro so i just went back and slept. At abt 3+, received a call from my mum saying that my bro is admitted in hospital!!!
Actually for the past one week, my brother had been limping and saying that he fell down and therefore his thigh hurts. He did see a doc at polyclinic and was on MC. But then i think he couldn't take the pain on Friday and so my mum bought him to the private clinic. And the doctor referred him to KKH. And when they both went there, the doc said that it was a blood clot and had to be operated. I went to the hospital and they operated on him at night.
Almost cried when he was crying before going to the OT. Small boy mah! So pityful!
Then on Saturday, i was on off and so i went there and he was walking and i tot he was ok but then some time later, his wound started bleeding and i helped the nurse to change the dressing and i tell you it was really a lot of blood. Until even the sleeve of my blouse kena blood. My bro was screaming in pain. It was really very pityful to see him. Hati-sakit!!
Then i went to Tekka to give my saree blouse for sewing and bought some jewellery and went for rehearsel. That was the last rehearsel till this Wednesday.
Yesterday, i didn't go to see my brother, had to clean the house. My mum called my this morning and told me that they are now bringing him home. Poor guy!
I'm quite scared about my pageant. I hope to come in the top 5. I wonder if i will. Hope so!! Tonight i'm gonna prepare my stuff so that i can relax tomorrow and make sure i look good on Wednesday.
I had applied for leave on Friday and to take my off on Saturday coz my family was to go to my granny's place in Melaka. Now we can't since my bro is like this. My father told me to cancel my leave but i decided not to. I'm gonna stay at home and relax and also take care of my bro!
