The Ox year has officially begun…

This CNY, it felt kinda rush.. was it cos Xmas & New Yr were just over and then come another festival? Guess i personally still prefer CNY to be in Feb.. =)

its actually kinda therapeutic..

Family Time

Spring cleaning is almost done! Thankfully, i did mine (room) last mth… so now there’s time to do some cleaning for the hse. Almost there…. heh.

Its fun when the whole family gets tgt to do something. *smiles* 

Taken one of de days @ Parkway.. the silly brother with his 101-types-of expressions!

He got a little stun when the waitress came with this plate, as it was sucha small portion (for him)! So i asked him to pose for the camera! Turns out, this is only de side dish (lah)…. not the main tat he has ordered…. lol. aiyoh.

monday’s over! have a great week ahead…. (“,)

how?

New year. New start. New sales.

More expectations. More numbers. More reporting. More meetings.

It has been a stressful week. To the extent, its hard to sleep well…. the brain’s still functioning & worrying..

Boss has personally inform that he has (very) high expectations… and im (very) afraid of letting him down :/

sigh.

Sometimes, luck plays a part too. The timing of closure etc.. ahh…. many factors.

This feels even more stressful than sitting for an exam… *cries*

Will you be nice & grant some lucky stars to me tmr , Ladyluck? 

*scream*

First post of 2009, had to be a not-very-happy post. =/

Weeks of hard work… trying to finalize the “foto story” album i’ve been working on…

The late nights staying up…. setting “busy” mode on msn etc…. just to hav full concentration on this “project”. 

… now, its all gone in a flash.

I was doing some touch up here and there, aligning the fotos and re arranging them… clicked the save button….. then..

few mins later, ”error message” was prompted.

the whole program hang.

had to reboot the whole system.

tried to open my file again…. but

….. failed. cant seem to open it anymore

It feels like im in a dream, hoping for some miracle…. sigh!!

This is like preparing for an examination, only to realise all de notes/ answers are gone within seconds!

The thought of re-doing it again is very very… demoralising.
