what a week!

so hectic at work this week. new project roster came out. 6 local projects and half of an overseas project to cover. ho-ho-ho. can die lor. problematic ones somemore. boss is taking her own sweet time to drag, and when deadline is up, she pushes all the undone work to me. bank isn't cooperative (even though that manager's quite cute), and client is chasing me. argh~!

maybe i set too high expectations of myself. maybe i give myself too much pressure. maybe i'm too perfectionistic. i wonder if it's good or bad. whenever an issue pops up, i push myself to solve it asap, and push even harder to prevent such issues from occuring again. for someone who has absolutely zero experience in the construction industry, the amount of new things to learn every minute is overwhelming. ><

i can see my boss/colleagues being stressed out by all my questions. i think they used to be pretty laid back before i came. but it isn't a bad thing either. i guess.

at least the day passed quicker. it also feels good to hear the client look for you directly, instead of "is your boss around? no? manager? no? i guess you will do then." haha. maybe i DO like responsibility. =\

hearing my development manager speak about his trip to myanmar made me miss the farm life in australia. how nice to wake up in the morning to the sounds and smells of mother nature, to spend the day riding horses, milking cows, shearing sheep, planting veggies and growing potatoes. *dreams*

ah wells. retail therapy again today! decided to 大扫除 my cupboard, so bought some cute boxes and holders. changed mascara too. can't wait to try it on monday. :P

oh oh guess what guess what? mee got my second ear piercing! on both ears! ^^ mum doesn't know yet, but i suppose it's okay...not ah lian right?! i used to want at least 3 on each ear, but i'm having second thoughts now. it bloody hurts lah! and the pain LINGERS. feel so paiseh seeing that the guy was uhm-chio-ing when i was cringing. (-_-)

can't wait to meet the gals again! miz my zhuuuuuuu.

sao paulo, brazil

this morning's race was by far the most exciting race i've seen. (even though i haven't seen alot!)

pole-sitter massa did a "hamilton-in-shanghai" and led the race throughout, coming home first. alonso came 13 seconds later, followed by kimi. i have to admit, it was no doubt an impressive race by massa. =\ but still, he lost the championship to hamilton by a single point.

hamilton started 4th on the grid and maintained that position before the first pit stops. after that, he stayed between 4th to 6th. he didn't take much risks; maybe one or two?

during the last 5 laps or so, vettel came soooo close to him, threatening his much-needed 5th position. hamilton's mistake of running wide in the second last lap saw vettel snatch 5th place from him.

i was pretty much disappointed, and panicking, as hamilton tried to regain his place. just seconds away from the flag, 4th place glock miraculously slowed down and hamilton caught up. he crossed the line 5th. that was so so so darn close!

phew~ and no, glock didn't slow down because of hamilton. (at first i thought it was. lol.) he was the only one in the top few that didn't change to wet tires when it started to drizzle, so he lost grip and had to slow down. i sound so 幸灾乐祸. =X

anyways, end of 2008 f1 season. yay for hamilton, the youngest world champ! 5 more months to the start of the 2009 season! :)

~*~*~*~*~

i'm pretty much ashamed to say i took urgent leave today. 2 hours of sleep was simply not enough to last the whole hectic monday. but even as i woke briefly to sms my boss, i couldn't sleep well as my mind was on work. it didn't help when hl smsed a number of times too.

haix. stressed stressed stressed. (rants) why is myanmar project handled by me all of a sudden? why give me all the big projects? why do they all happen together? why do they all depend on me for everything? i don likeeee!! (T_T)

nothing to look forward to in november. no public holidays, no special trips, no special occasions. nothing!

boo.

少年四大名捕

spent the weekend in 'seclusion', and finished watching my newly-bought hk drama - the four. originally bought because of the four main eye candies - raymond lam, ron ng, kenneth ma & sammul chan, but surprisingly the drama turned out pretty good. can't be bothered to explain the storyline, since i doubt anyone would understand if you haven't seen it.

the characters were interesting though. ron plays the cool and emotionless 冷血, while sammul becomes playboy 追命, as opposed to their characters in 'the academy'. kenneth's the usual 铁手, and raymond 无情. raymond's wellchair-bound. very interesting.

i love the action here. each of the four constables have their own unique strengths and skills. like all martial arts dramas, the fighting scenes are the best. lol. i also like the way how enemies from the start can actually work together to solve cases and prevent crimes.

overall, i'd prolly rate it 11/10. ^^

~*~*~*~*~

f1 final race later. i think i look even more nervous than hamilton himself. (-_-) he came in fourth at q3. i found it rather disappointing, but it looks as if he's satisfied with it. true though; he only needs to be in the top 5. hopefully he's gonna race more conservatively as he has claimed to, just enough to come in fifth or better. and hopefully the lack of supporters doesn't affect him much too. lolx. go hammie!! XD

the race starts at 1am and finishes at 3.30am. that's a 3-hour sleep for me before getting up for work.

super sian.
