Marriott Hotel - F1 Formula
Last Thursday, my company was invited to the event
; whereby customers of Marriott Hotel gathered together for the DND night.

As one of my colleagues could not make it,
thus I was given the chance to replace her :)
It was not really crowded,
but you could see most of your competitors in the business field.

Most of the time,
I was enjoying the food and the free instant photo session.
and if you are wondering hows Joanie ...
here you goes.

DREAM

2008-06-22T15:32:21Z

it had been weeks since i last updated my blog.
and i havent been meeting up with anyone including my boyfriend.
guess everyone must be wondering where the hell joan have been?!

my life has been a routine ever since i started working in OCBC.
other than that - every tuesday and thursday night,
i would be waiting for my mum to finish her javanese class at malacca centre.
(and it usually ends at 9.30pm :( )

i have been obessed with writing.
guess inspiration is flooding me.

anyway, the most interesting thing that happened over these few weeks was ...
i actually cried infront of the public when i reading the ending for the book "a friend like henry".
damn silly.

i know i havent been meeting up with so many of you,
no promises that i could but i would try :)

guess i wont be attending university this year,
maybe i would wait till the next intake.
i havent break the news to my parents yet :)
as i was still thinking of my future.

sooner or later ..
something will take a change.

IT HAD BEEN AWHILE

2008-05-29T16:19:02Z

my heart pinched,
and i could not talk.

my eyes are filled with tears,
and i could not see.

my nose is blocked,
and i cant smell the happiness in the air.

i just watched hearty paws,
and i broke down.

it had been awhile.

i am tired,
cause of work.

i had been bullied.

ONE FINE DAY.

2008-05-03T16:08:13Z

happy birthday, my lady.
i cant wait for our trip to HKG.

2008-04-30T17:12:33Z

Being a workaholic,
i am enjoying my work though it had been increasing.

i hoped i could get into NTU :)
and suddenly i feel so frustrated with myself for not performing better.

Anyway, i got an invite to teach wushu in local school, but the invitation came too late.
Guess i would wait for some other assignments they could offer me on the weekends.

i am isolating myself, from everyone.

ADOPT A CHILD.

2008-04-23T16:39:05Z

ATTENTION MISS (MR) SCARY / STARBUCKS / EXCEL:

remember to inform us when you are going back to germany!
and i would send you the photos IF i remember :)

i havent been updating recently 'cause i have nothing to update about.

this week, i started work at OCBC centre in the HR department under Corporate XXXX (i had forgotten my post).
anyway, i am still learning more about my job scope.
guess it wouldnt be difficult :)

however, meetings are scary as it makes me fall asleep.
DAMN.

new found heartthrob,
khalil drives me crazy with his geeky specs <3

YOU CUT ME OPEN

2008-03-25T16:09:01Z

Sometimes, I am just lazy.

There's nothing in this world I ever frown for more than five minutes.

I LOVE JAM.

2008-03-23T15:51:27Z

sometimes,
you appeared in the night like this.

met up with queena and kexin,
it had been a long time meeting up the girls.
lets take a picture together next time.

smile,
smile,
smile!

'cause i just saw JAM on TV!
oh he is just so WOW!

ps: now i feel like a five years old little girl going crazy over the new Barbie Mariposa!!

MY BAD.

2008-03-22T04:59:38Z

i just came back from my interview at NTU's,
and i guess i screwed up my interview.
80% of the time,
i dont even understand what i am saying!

the interview was ended with "All the best, I have nothing to say anymore. BYE!".
DAMN.
one comment I received from the panal was,
i was too humble!

FAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFA.
IT IS ALL OVER.

LETS GAMBLE

2008-03-20T16:07:21Z

after countless attempts,

for being there for me.

thanks for the birthday celebration :)

I FREAKING HATE INSECTS

2008-02-19T15:39:11Z

i was telling shuang and christian that the reason why i hate reading forwarded mails was
'cause i hate seeing how gruesome the contents would be.

however, today i accidentally opened and read one of the forwarded mails about "reminder to wash new clothes"
and trust me, i was shouting "FUCK IT" for at least 3 minutes so loud that even gabby heard me.

the next thing you know, i was trying hard to get rid of that image in my mind.
using all kinds of methods like hitting my head damn hard using both hands,
playing games (which i assumed it was exciting - bejeweled)
and so on.

ARGH.

and when i came back from work,
my parents were telling me that they saw the biggest moth they ever seen in their life.

so i uploaded the picture they took and tried zooming it,
and also tried google-ing this "amazing" insect.
and true enough (or maybe lucky enough), both of them had withnessed the world's largest moth.

Attacus Atlas : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_moth

ARGH.
now i am distracted.

though i have to race with time tonight,
i went to my sister's 21st birthday party at SMU.

well, the party was nice with the bands,
with the people,
with the food.

mabel got some drinks,
however i stopped after a few sips.
i was afraid i would be writing rubbish in my reports later in the night.

guess everybody was wondering who the hell were mabel and i related to sister.
and we were like "YES, WE ARE HER SISTER (BLOOD-RELATEEED)!"

happy belated birthday sister,
you havee been great.
though we missed out quite abit on each other's life,
but you know we all love you.

you have been a role model,
a great sister,
a great friend,
and someone whom we always have respect the most.

all these while,
i know you have been working hard.
and at times they were so much things that you wanted,
but because of dad,
they were so many restrictions.

sorry, and thanks for being a part of my life.
i <3 you.

HELLO 2008 CHINESE NEW YEAR

2008-02-07T16:10:54Z

i love reunion dinner,
and the jokes we cracked :)

after our dinner,
we had some warm-up sessions of mahjong before felin came over.
and when i assumed that my chances of winning my siblings' money was high,
it was defeated by mark's beginner luck, mabel's and jack's experiences.

even when felin arrived,
i was still the one losing.
oh dear, i just cant gamble this chinese new year.

after the long session of mahjong,
the girls had some heart to heart talk laughing at our school days (or maybe felin's good old days),
till wee hours today.
HAHA :)

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

this year chinese new year is different,
cause we did not get to visit my great-grandma.

jack commented, "the complicated adult stuffs!"
and my dad corrected him,"is not the adult, it is just human begin. we just dont know how to give and take. "

anyway, we went over to my grandma's place.
and i lost 15 bucks halfway throughout the game of blackjack to my cousins (whom are all younger than me).
and the most ridiculous thing is ALL MY SIBLINGS WON MORE THAN 20 BUCKS (AVERAGEEE).
and i ended up playing with an "imaginary 50 cents" during the last few rounds when my siblings were the dealer.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

when my parents "represented" the Ng family to visit my great-grandma.
i was at home rushing everybody to prepare before they came over to fetch us.
my siblings were too busy to take a proper photo with me.

and if you happen to not see mabel around,
it is because she is always the slowest.
and we were all waiting for her.

this is kinda awful

tml will be a long day,
and i still have 4 weekly reports, 1 final report, 1 final presentation, and 2 lufthansa reports waiting for me.

I NEED A BREAK.

2008-02-01T17:49:26Z

when everything gets complicated, you would just want nothing but a break.

a well-deserved one.

ARTISTS AT WORK

2008-01-20T16:12:50Z

mabel and i spent the whole afternoon in the room,
with a "PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB" sign hanging outside our door.

a draft for one of our walls.

we love this so much, that we "stole" it.

art materials are found easily at my place,
as both of us were art students.

the scooter with the outline was impressive,
however after the colouring,
mabel and i were complaining how bunny it looked.

but trust me,
the real one looks MUCH better than it looked on the photos.

i had a hard time cutting out the music notes.

well well, every art piece always has its initial inspiration.
and this piece was to commemorate our past.

the abandon music notes and boxing gloves.
the bright-coloured scooter.

TOOTH ACHE

2008-01-18T14:19:25Z

it had been tough,
and i never expect things to turn out this way.

my feeling now - SOUR.

the toilet

the party with the (international) guests and (look - alike) waiters

the hidden DJ (at the corner)

the indian cusine

"I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always."

THE HONEST TEAR

2008-01-14T17:25:08Z

When was the last time you cried?

this time round, everything is different.
you just made me feel really awkward.

I MISS THE CAT.

2008-01-04T14:21:31Z

(my eyes seems to be shrinking.)

today, i put aside my work.
and played some games to de-stress.
played some "idiot test", beach tennis (which stated players below age16 could not play, if you are wondering why? maybe you could refer to one of the pictures below.) etc.

i was amazed by iGoogle and its themes, and i knew about it only TODAY.
after setting up everything i kept bugging christian and the girls,
asking them when my little fox (the one in the water) will move.

immediately, when it moved i was so excited.
alright, it is just joan being so joanie.

i miss him,
and the thought of him leaving for Taiwan next week just KILLED me.

EXCUSE ME

2008-01-03T14:51:09Z

i feel loved.
i feel loved.
i feel loved.
i fee loved.

by the music around me.
and the thought of him.

i feel so excited NOW.

i feel like punching a bag.
i feel like racing on a bike.
i feel like touring the world.
i feel like running 100 laps.
i feel like jumping on the bed till it breaks.
i feel like having enough money which could go round The Great World of China 100 times.
i feel like ...

BUT I STILL HAVE >5 WEEKLY REPORTS ON HAND.
DAMN IT.

they are SWEET

these days .... so many thoughts,
yet not a few words could express it all.
maybe these quotes would help :)

The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes. "
- Julius Caesar

" You must wear your rue with a difference.
There 's a daisy; I would give you some violets, but they withered. "

No words could describe my feelings now.
Somehow, I felt helpless.

I just want to be alone.
The only person whom I would want to turn in to is (not around).

soon, it will be two years.
