Linda popped by for a surprise visit again this year (she visited us with Weilin last year as well), bringing along Karen and Calvin (from SPH). We had fun hanging out at a restaurant behind our office before they had to go back to their office, and us, ours.

Did some work before we headed out for the company dinner at Bistro Amigo (Funan Centre). Pang won Staff of the Year and had to pop a champagne, which stressed a few people out. Haha.

Photos are in two albums on Facebook, which you can only see if you’re my friend.

I was right, birthdays can only get better and better!

Started my morning with a complimentary spa at The Ultimate, which came with complimentary dessert, boiled papaya and white fungus (my fav!), so it was really nice, but I still prefer my masseuse at Subtle Senses. :p

Met MZ for lunch, and we bought a nice dress at $18 (damn cheap!). Wanted to get a bigini for ZoukOut and my Bali trip, but cannot find one that fit me (OD-ed on rice and too fat now) with prints that I like. Supposed to meet cousins, but SC made major boo-boo. Then went to Grand Shanghai to have dinner with my awesome colleagues! Panda sent me a surprise bouquet at work, which my colleagues brought to the restaurant for me. :) First time receiving flowers at work, and from a surprise sender too!

Evonne made a guest appearance to give me the present (which everybody – colleagues, ex-colleagues, Flying friends – shared!). I’m so touched, cos they really made so much effort for me. Cannot help it and cried during dinner. Haha, crazy la, cried everyday since Sunday sia. :x I’m very touched that everybody is doing so much for me. A little overwhelmed.

We had drinks after, and they were discussing how to kill me with those knockout drinks. Luckily, we didn’t have any of those in the end. Hehe.

Very touched. Wanna thank everybody for the awesome evening, presents, photos and videos taken. :)

It sucks that I actually literally grew older in the office. A couple of my colleagues sang me the birthday song at exactly 12am. Gave me a shock, but it was very funny. They didn’t get me a cake, but made me blow scraps of papers. Hahaha.

Well, I wish for everybody to be in good health, love their family more and to be happy. :)

I feel like I’m losing myself for so many reasons I don’t know where to begin.

For one, I haven’t achieved anything in a while. Time to be focussed again. I’m planning to take PMP course by end of this year, and sit for the exam in Q1 next year. If all goes well, I will pass and have an awesome professional certification. :)

I also feel that I haven’t been learning on the job. No time to read all those resources shared by my awesome colleagues, even if I have time to go through them, no time to make it a point to commit them to memory. Pretty much spent my time this year clearing my daily work, dancing, drinking, going for Japanese class, gym and watching movies during the weekends. I have no time to produce quality work, cannot spin properly in Salsa, cannot remember half of what was taught in Japanese class and have no time to revise or finish my Japanese homework. At least my time spent at the gym have been fruitful and I’ve only been watching movies that are awesome. :)

I guess what is really gnawing away at me now is that I’m not learning on the job, which is what pushed me to make arrangements for my PMP certification at lightning speed. Moreover I have only just enough PM working experience to apply for the certificate, which one of the trainers at the training centres I enquired with today kindly pointed out to me.
