It's A Sign

I know it is...

I have a strong feeling I'm gonna get a new job by end of the year. I know it.

Just when I'm all down and worried about not being called up for any interviews, after six applications, I met a colleague, Mel who is quitting soon. She is so motivated to leave and start a new life even though she's in her thirties. She's sent out over 20 resumes before she got her first interview.

I must NOT give up.

Mel is working with Headhunters. The irony is, Serena was just talking about Headhunters two weeks ago. She found a job through them and recommended that I leave my profile with them. It's a sign...

I have to build my resume and make sure I make good use of this opportunity. These kind of things happen for a reason. I haven't seen Mel for over a year. And of all times to meet up again, is when she is quitting. Once she's settled in her new job, she's gonna look out for me...

*cross my fingers*

Pray for me okay?

One Week...

I've officially moved to Punggol and have been staying in my new home for a week.

Was super tiring. Cause you've just packed everything into boxes one minute, and the next, you're unpacking and trying to put things into order. Surprisingly, me and Mandy managed to unpack within a day and a half.

But I've still got two boxes sitting idle, waiting for me to prosecute them. Either pack them properly so they'll never see daylight again, or throw them away and let them disintegrate with other rubbish.

We've also managed to find a new housemate. HE is a SHE colleague. So far, so good. I'm sure to update if anything goes wrong.

Apart from having to travel a little further for work, I quite like this place actually. Comfortable and clean. Finally a happy kind of place to call home. Big difference from the previous one.

Totally Happy~

*Someone* forgot to call me this morning...*angry face*

But I'm in a totally happy-good-mood. Don't know why. *Hehehe*

I'm super tired from moving stuff yesterday, had barely rested enough, and continued a sort of second round this morning. Brought super heavy luggage all across the main road and waited more than half hour under the super hot sun and still ended up calling for a cab. But I'm still in a totally happy-good-mood. *Hehehe*

Damn. Something must be super wrong with me....

Anyway, moving out is no joke man. Its seriously so not funny, I'm not even laughing. I just packed everything into boxes from old home, now I've got to start unpacking my stuff from the boxes in my new home. So horrible. Talk about transporting items...

And, when I packed my stuff INTO the box. I asked myself if I still need it, do I still use it, am I gonna keep it. I decide to put it in the box, only to find myself asking why did I even buy it or have it in the first place when I unpacked FROM the box. So silly right? Filtering through your own stuff twice also can be super brain tiring.

For the first time in 3 years, I'm blogging from the comfort of my bed. You know why the special occassion? Make a guess...

*Hehe*

Cause my furniture have all gone to a new place! *Hahahahahha* (I can picture my adorable sister's face when she reads this. The I-so-wanna-smack-you-in-the-face-for-being-lame face) *Hahahahaha*

Something is really super wrong with me.

Oh well. Its been a pretty boring and slow moving day. After the short trip to Punggol this morning, I've been on the internet the whole entire day, stalking other people's blogs. No choice. My super huge TV is gone. Mandy is attending classes in Orchard and her mom is shopping. Nic is working super late tonight. So, the only entertainment I have now is my laptop and myself.

I can predict more boring days coming. Its back to work for me on Wednesday and I'll be stuck in Abu Dhabi with 3 whole freaking off days to myself. Question: What am I gonna do there? What can I do there? Answer: Shit. Like literally. *sigh*

I better stop contributing to nonsence. I have many more days to do that.

I might take a nap now...(yes, I know its 9.30PM)

Goodnite~

Super Friends

I am dead tired. Eyes are shutting and body feels like zombie.

I moved most of my stuff today to my new place in Punggol. I'm seriously blessed to have friends who are super helpful, and friends who have other super helpful friends. Lebe brought her TVman boyfriend, who brought his super good friend to help me with the big move. My super boyfriend was late, but all for a valid reason, and is forgiven because he still turned up although it was super rushy for him.

*Sigh*

How to thank these kind of friends? Bring them out for dinner also I still feel I owe them big time...

Wish my super family was here too. Especially my super sister. I'm sure she would've have provided super entertainment for everyone. *Hehehe*

I'm going to bed now. Have to continue with the move tomorrow. I'm gonna have a super good day tomorrow. But for now, I'll just go and try get some super sweet dreams...

Nite nite...

Greetings from Switzerland

The land where Swatch is made and Victornox should be cheaper. (Just a reminder that my geography was never great, if I got any of those info wrong)

I'm sitting here, with a great big window right in front of me. Super nice sunlight, super green trees, super cool breeze, birdies chirpring away together with someone's laptop music playing in the background. Sounds comfy, but this room is a little dodgy.

TV shows here are boring. All in German and French. Those in English are all news channels. Me and news are like water and fire. Cannot go together. Already seen the sights here. I am that bored now.

I've been sitting in the same spot for about two hours. I better get moving. Conserve some energy for my big move when I get back on Sunday morning.

Back to work...

Preparing to go off for work again. Will be away 5 days this time. When I get back, it'll be moving day! New place, new beginning...

I want a new job! I'm gonna be sending out more resumes after this. I don't care about pay cut anymore. Wish me luck...

Busy busy busy~

Money Not Enough?

I was just thinking about how different I was when I first started working in comparison to now. So much difference. From a miser me to a willing to spend a little bit more on everything now person.

I think I need to re-evaluate myself and my spending habits. I don't have to be a miser, but I also don't need to splurge as much. Furthermore, I need to prepare myself for a possible future pay cut. *Sigh* Think frugal lifestyle. Ok. Maybe not as bad. Think moderation lifestyle.

I can't believe I survived on minimal allowance last time and still manage to go out for movies, mamak and karaoke sessions. I think all my financial planning brain cells died on me when I started getting too comfortable with my income. I need to go back to my roots....

Please hit me if I still stick with a more expensive Starhub plan and refuse to get done my re-contract for broadband with Singnet by next month. That will probably save me more than $50 a month.

Hopefully that will guide me back to the right path. I'm going to think about other possible ways of saving money. Goodnite...
