noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 16:39:00 +0000

Hi all,

must have wondering why I haven't post anything in this blog, well I've moved which I opened unofficially way last year.

This will be my new blog from now on. =)

Cheers.

Look at my Nails!

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 07:47:00 +0000

Just some of my DIY Nail Arts left in my camera for quite some time.

Gritter Copper French Manicure

Fresh Blue-Green French Manicure

Actually, I don't really do much of nail painting because of the nature of my job and I usually like to cut my nails when I feel that my nails are long enough to cut. Sometimes, I'm just doing it for certain special occasions or just to pamper myself a bit. Heeheee...

So yeah, almost rare photos of my nails. =P

My 1st Sem Results

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 13:36:00 +0000

I've so many things I want to blog but lazy. =(

Anyways, I've good news to share, this is my first sem result of my course that I viewed yesterday.

Mad happy like siao!!!

I didn't really expect to get a DIST! My classmate foresee my result that I'll would get AAB, but I thought I would get much lower than that. Still I couldn't believe my eyes and sms her the great news.

Believe it or not I'm so happy yesterday that I'm actually on MC today. LOL!

IT Show Mar 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 15:47:00 +0000

Currently, this is my new loves.....

How am I Going to do With These two?

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 16:01:00 +0000

One of my Red-eared slider's eye is injured, I will have to take it to the vet next weekend. =(

This has never happened before until a few days earlier, mostly because the tank is too clamp for two turtles and they are fighting for space to sun themselves or whatever and the injury happened but my house cannot afford much bigger tank to place. ='(

I would have to let another one go who should I give to and which pond should it be place?

This is so confusing and heartbreaking for me.... *sobs*

Resignation Letter

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:19:00 +0000

First time in my life, I typed a letter as above just a while ago...

A serious yet a polite letter.

It's a letter sooner or later I would type, print out and there it goes to a table. It really doesn't matter if anyone from my company would reads my blog (I doubt they would read my blog).

Like I said before, I'm damn serious about looking for another job which I've already started looking for one quite sometime ago, but lucky for me I have not much of commitment just yet, so it's now or never.

PS: I've send in a post to Nuffnang which I know it pretty late but no harm to try. =)

Alice in Wonderland

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 10:09:00 +0000

I've read the story and I even watched it ever since childhood, yup no kidding it's my favorite and an imaginative story of all time when I was a little girl.

Have I ever told somebody that I like Alice the best?

Now I'm telling you. =D

Alice reminded me as a brave and curious girl, which that's explains why she was chasing after White Rabbit (in funny clothes) that led her into Wonderland during her childhood.

Curiosity sometimes can led to wonders or even in dangerous situation, but in my view without curiosity there wouldn't be Alice in Wonderland, right?

In the past, when she fallen into Wonderland she was determine to get home. But this time round, she is determine to be of help to the people and even strange creatures of Wonderland (or rather Underland?) to stop the evil Red Queen who take over Wonderland.

That is why I like about Alice, whatever in what kind of situation she is in, she will find a solution within her means (also with the help from others) without running away from it.

Before I end the post here, let us watch the trailer. =)

What am I waiting for? I've a very important date this Tuesday evening!

Catch Alice in Wonderland Movie starting from 4th March 2010 and join the official Facebook and Twitter page!

Towards the Future

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:16:00 +0000

After this morning, I realize that it's really time for me to seriously find another job.

I no longer care whether people would call me irresponsible or is it for the bonus. All I know is that I'm very unhappy with the current job here.

Nobody will want to work unhappily in their job unless they find their job is all right then stay with it. I do not want to lie to myself just to stay on the job that I'm unhappy with. But don't worry after all these carps, I'm still optimistic towards the future. For me, it doesn't matter which field I'm doing now, as long as I'm achieving towards my dream career . =)

Perhaps this is yet another step to take in life, I know anywhere I work would be the same but I have to take the courage to take that step, no point getting stuck in one place.

I will not say what made me unhappy but I will not regret taking up this job at least I know what I really want in life before that I was in a "blank" state about my future not knowing what to do and also for the sake of having the work experience.

Maybe that's the start of my real life....

I've got to go, I'm having my last practical test this evening.

Weeeee!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 15:50:00 +0000

After this Tuesday practical test, I'll be free of stress from assignments and tests for about six week before the start of second and also the final term.

It has been great so far and the stress is worth it. Although, I would not get really good grades but I'm happy that I've learn lots of new things on the way.

During this semester, I've truly realized that it is not about getting all modules grade A+. It is about the process whether or not a person learns from the subject, if you get to learn something that is already A+.

Even although the subject itself is not A+ but who cares? I've gain new portfolios for myself. *grins*

Of course not to forget that I did a web page assignment with a classmate, we have fun doing together. =)

Going to mass send my resume real soon, nobody is gotta stop me!!! wahahahaha~

I'm on Leave

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:29:00 +0000

From now and until 19 Feb 10....

If you think I'm going on a long CNY holiday that is so wrong...

I have a practical test tonight and a written test at 18 Feb 10 that night. =(

What the....

Sleep Sleep Soon

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:41:00 +0000

Before I sleep, I would just blog a bit since, ya I have a blog then I should blog! =)

Having to study a part-time course is really hard especially while I'm working full-time.

Is like you know I wish I have more time for assignments.. but then again I can't expect much of a good grades for my assignments which understandable that I'm not a full time student anymore.

Work totally drain my energy (especially I don't like) and my time especially sometimes I can't give up my gaming in facebook.. BaH...

I'm working on two assignments and working towards the deadlines, luckily the other one the deadline is later but I'll still have to finish it before Web Publishing written test and damn I thought no need to study liao.

The written test is what I fear because I don't really have much time to memorialize and I can't score to my expected grade and at the same time I have assignments to do. Luckily enough the rest of the two are practical test which I have some confidence with.

*sign*

Oh well, all I could do is to try my best now!

This week and next week is going to be busy weeks on both work and studies...

Getting ready for bed, good nights~

PS: damn I need to put the gaming aside for a while!

Death of Blue Screen

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:52:00 +0000

My heart almost stop when my computer flash a death of blue screen within 1 second....

and

restarted a few times...

OMG....

Lucky I saved my computer by using windows cd to upgrade in SAVE mode, if not I'm DOOM! and I might not be able to do my assignment tonight.

The best thing, my technical skill didn't failed me at a nick of time. =X

But anyways it's time to get an extra upgrade anytime soon.....

Work Sucks....

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:50:00 +0000

Every end of a work day, not once I ever feel satisfied and happy about my work. I know there are times where there will be stress, things may get tough or maybe one or two things we may not like.

But...

I'm still unhappy! In fact there are many things I hate within more than a year. They may see the problems I'm facing now but it will be a cycle again and again and again.

I am a responsible person the way my parents would always taught me but in some cases it is not a matter of responsibility anymore.

Friends would ask me: "You seen to be doing fine, why quit?"

In the end....

Instead of me wanting to quit. They quit faster than me!

How funny. -_-"

Since I've made my choice to choose studies over work. In just of a matter of time, I WILL move on to another job.

Our Future New Home

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 11:42:00 +0000

This will be our future new home in about 3 years time.

I took this photo last year before this place started building up. We both always wonder how a married life will be... will it be tough or smooth? After all, it's another new chapter of our lives, my feelings for now about our future is half excited and half anxious.

I've already started receiving things that are for our future home, how freakishingly fast.... Really I'm not kidding! But I'm happy at the same time. =)

I'm dying to go back there and take another photo again during the process of our new home.

Resolution of 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 13:59:00 +0000

I just have to publish this although I’ve been ‘MIAing’, even Dear found that my blog is boring now! Anyways, I've post it up just in any case my "disappearing act" acts up again...

This is my old Resolution of 2009.

1) Make more money!

2) ROM this year.

~~3) Happy couple of 5 years!~~ Yeah!

4) Have a smooth sail in my job.

~~5) Hoping to find a suitable flat which is BTO.~~ Found one, Yes!!!!!

6) Make another blog skin, this time better!

7) Stop being lazy again!

8) Slim down to 50kg I purpose.

9) To gain more readers to my blog in my personal way.

To tell the truth I didn't actually achieve much of my list this year but wait! I have other achievements in 2009.

- Signed up and now studying for a Specialize Dip. in Media Creation course (Part-time) from Singapore Poly since Oct 2009.

- A birthday surprise from my friends.

- I have my hair digital perm so far I've been playing and twirling with my hair, so that my perm could stay longer.

- I've brought a new digital camera but some what wasted that I didn't post online most of the time.

- First time in my life I've won 4D! Actually shared together with Dear, is just a small amount but happy like mad for a while.

- My very own PSP shared with Dear ended up... like... is mine now. LOL!

Here's my list of resolution, I’ll make 10 of them this time. More or less would be the same I think?

1) Make more and more money. Who would complain more money?

2) A proposal... aemm.. someone haven’t propose to me yet.

3) Happy couple of 6 years. =)

4) A toshiba pink Lappy!

5) Slim down but I’m not going to set a target again because previously I failed to reach my target, so ya take things at a time it will workout somehow.

6) Find another job, I would not reveal much (since I've been complaining) but ya…. time to move on.

7) Quit my laziness.

8) Finish my part-time course this year.

9) More personal portfolios. =p

10) An overseas holiday with family and another one with my Dear.

Hmmm... that's about all I guess. I'll see what else I could post hahaha...

Have Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all! =)

Cleaning

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:43:00 +0000

Just spring cleaning my blog, I've deleted so many links...

wow...

btw

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:37:00 +0000

This is Dear and me.

Seriously, I don't need to do any photoshopping with this photo which is kindda cool and I love it. :)

Sleep Problem Gone?

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:15:00 +0000

I was able to sleep last night thanks to a warm bath and my trusty mp3 player with some slow and calming songs while trying to sleep. So happy! :D

Anyways, I'll have warm baths and music to my ear continuously for a few days to make sure. hehehe....

*sign* I think I've been MIAing off and on from my blog, so sad.... :(

Time for me to change blog skin and blog url for motivation?

Can't Sleep

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:42:00 +0000

For a total of 3 nights....

I don't know if is because of work stress or school stress.

My dad brought me some sort of a Chinese medicine for me last night so that I could sleep and relax but in the end I still can't sleep. :(

So anyways, I took an MC today and ate the medicine, hopefully I can sleep at least for a few hours in the late morning and to afternoon.

What's the hell wrong with me? Ohhhh.... This is so frustrating.... can you imagine that? When you want to work during day, you find yourself very tried, unable to focus and even more demoralizing then ever before.

Yes, I admit I'm dragging myself to work every 5 working days but that has been a long time since I found that I drag myself to work.

I never have problems sleeping until this week, after last night I would never want to take sleeping for granted anymore! ;(

Anyways, I'm waiting for the medicine to take effect hope works. (again)

A Sudden Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:51:00 +0000

I realized I have more to study and therefore I must learn to discipline myself to study! T.T

I've slowly play less in facebook and slowly go into study mode. Well, actually the only entertain me for now is gotta be comics and anime.

Anyways, thinking back about the school days I have, blindly study and study and study like nobody freaking business but I'll never regret one thing..

Because fate let me met him.

Today, when I'm looking at him while he's asleep before waking him up. Make me feel that I'm the luckiest and the happiest girl in the world to have him...

That's five years and counting.... =D

I'm back to school....

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:47:00 +0000

Last night...

It was fun last night, having the feeling of being a student all over again. This time is different I'm happy being a media student. =D

Although, is part time, well at least I've take this step to move on and at the same time giving myself a chance to able to change a job I really want. Not a course I've blindly studied for 6 years and blindly setter for a job.

And now I hate it. I know certain jobs have certain stress but thinking of having the long run in this industry, is it worth it for me? I thought I liked the course I previously studied but I realized maybe I'm just fooling myself, listening to others how good this course will be to the working world.

But anyways, time will tell during this course. =D

Gotta go..... good nights!

Missed That Chance

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:04:00 +0000

Funny...

First time in my life, I feel happy and yet at the same a bit disappointed because of......

4D

Yes, weird and I thought that wouldn't affect me somehow until last Saturday our yet-to-be-build house unit no. open in that freaking 4D. And this happens on that day where we have sign our down payment on the very same day and even talked about 4d on the very same day. -_-"

Nuts, missed that chance to buy an ibet.

Hahaha... oh well, at least Dear's Mum won something.

Happy Birthday to me!

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:00:00 +0000

Since like more than a month ago?

Yes, I'm officially turn 24 (I know I took damn long to blog), I hope is going to be a happy 24 for me and so many friends wish me a Happy Birthday, so happy! =D

Here goes....

Friday, 21 Aug 2009

Working as usual, I have a slight cold in the morning at work which I think it's because I didn't cover blanket myself properly a few days before. So I ended up taking MC and I thought there goes my actual birth date. Oh shucks....

At the very last minute, Dear decided to call it a day so that I could rest more rather then going out again in the evening and told me we could go out tomorrow to celebrate. So sweet of him. XD

Saturday, 22 Aug 2009

Meet up with Dear before going to Bugis, as usual the normal couple date which I didn't realized a surprise is right ahead of me. Dear lead me to McD's saying that he wanted to buy something to eat and I was thinking if he's so hungry because I brought him lunch before we go out. -.-"

So I just follow him, until he told me he's looking for a seat and blurish me look all over the place for a seat for two. Suddenly, I saw three familiar faces, Colin, my head slowly turn to YS and then finally to Jia Yi. Took me a moment to realize something had happened. O.o

From what I heard from Dear it is actually a last minute planning, but still I'm really touch once again, not only they send me messages yesterday to wish me a Happy Birthday and they took the effort to surprise me. So sweet of them. ^^

It's been long since we all hang out and chat.

It's been about a year since all five of them (shaful included but not with us that day) go on to their NS and then another year later some of them will be studying Uni. Even Dear is about to study Uni too. But hey, maybe next time I'll be studying Uni who knows?

At first, we thought of walking to ION orchard (which is the birthday girl's idea >.<) but walking from bugis was a damn tiring idea not only Dear was complaining, I saw Jia Yi starting to sweat like crazy and I thought my leg was gotta break with slightly high heels.

So we decided stop at Plaza Sing for dinner.

Colin, Jia yi ans YS.

Colin's Pikacu goes: "Pi~ pikacu~"

It even got a pokeball and I saw it roll all over the table somemore.... LOL!

In coming food! Quickly, taken photos (with flash) of all the food because we are all hungry!

Salad for everyone.

It's salmon Spaghetti. Mine all mine!!!!

One of the side dish, fried sotong.

YS's Japanese Curry Chicken.

Colin's scallop Spaghetti.

Jia Yi's Salmon Don.

Dear's Assorted Seafood Don. (Looks yummy!)

Look at that wide range of food~ yums...

Although, I didn't get to snap more photos of our gathering but I'm happy to have a first surprise from friends. No really, I know Dear surprise me once in a while but getting surprise from my friends is definitely the first for me. =D

Thank you all of you guys, you all are sweet to the max! XD

New Camera

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Chong) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:51:00 +0000

Finally~ I got my new camera just yesterday!

Fujifilm Finepix F200

I've fallen in love with it.
