"jobless" for the next 1mth from end of nov to Dec..

Harlo my fellow frens just a few quick update as we just got news that due to current economic recession, company will need to cut down costs.. Thus, meaning that we contractors will be cut down due to lesser studies on-going. It's completely ridiculous as compared to super-busy last year around this 2mths too, all of us were running around like mad. Of course, i was "scolded" by my Dar when i informed him of this news. Then he said see already asked u to convert to full time like half year ago, but u refused to listen now u see what happen. Next he even suggested that to go work part time at his company, but he can't promised that we would be working tog. Pay rate:5bucks/hour including leg pain meaning need to be on yr feet for the whole day, no sitting down. Gosh,sometimes kinda of pity his job too.. Of course, i won't take up. So in the midst of the notice, we decided to look 4 other jobs via internet. Even though, agency did asked us to send resume over 2 NUH several times.However, the distance seems far for so of us so we have not send in over our CVs.. Finally we sent ours to SGH where Babitha (1 of our ex-collegue) currently working, same under research. But it's a relatively new unit with only 1 med director, 1 doc & only her. Another 1 which at NCCS (National Cancer Centre Singapore), which same position as a clinical research co-ordinator. Awaiting both for replies whether going for interviews anot. So in order to save costs, looks like i need to stay home more often & become "homely-gal.." Wahaa, hopefully i won't gain weight by becoming either "Ms couch-potato" or "Ms Computer-fanatic"~~

Genting trip/5 yrs anniversary

Next update me & my Dar just celebrated our 5 year anniversary @malaysia-Genting. At 1st, we wanted to go either Bangkok or Cambodia. However, for the former as the situation is still chaotic while for the later we're not familiar with the place need tour guide also. Hence, we decided to go there once again after like 2 or 3 years since our last visit. It was kinda of last min arrangement as i had to renew my soon expired passport.. So after work on Thurs 2nd Oct, met up wif my Dar at Lavender, then we walked to golden mile complex for enquires. Upon reaching there, as there were many tour agencies. We wanted to book under Grassland however, there's no more slots for over the weekend. So last resort, we booked with 5-Star 1st time. We decided on 4days with 3 nites stay, leaving early morning & hopefully reaching by early noon. Actually, wanted to leave during night around 10+ so that we can book in early morning. But got persuaded by the tour personnel that even though, we would have reached there early there would not have any room for check-in. End up will still need to wait till early noon. Just for the hotel stay itself, total around 400 plus for 2pax.

Boring but FUN achieving Week~

Sorry guys i have been MIA for almost like nearly 5mths time, seeing my last posted Blog~ Goodness me, either i have been too "BUSY" with my work or just simply Lazi-ness part of me refused 2 write any updates.. (In fact, actually i had another "Official secured" website under Blogger/commonly known as BlogSpot. But due 2 some unforeseen technical errors which some of my frens had encountered. Thus, this shall b my temporary SHELTERED mode of ventilation for me~) No worries my fellow frens, once my other website is UP & running all of u'll b informed of it asap. Enough of side-tracking, back to our main topic. As for this week there's no on-going studies at all, except for follow-ups end of the week. So we're supposed to help in "Achieving" those old blue folders done few years back, which were kept in various cupboard.. P.S -->For those newbies wondering what the term "Achieving" meant? It simply meant checking those documents inside blue folders for any mistakes Eg: Esp those studies 1st in Humans (FIH) got telemetry studies, meant tons of never-ending Ecgs paper strips.. If lucky enough during studies period, the overall nurse in-charge may help 2 check thru any discrepancies ranging from uncaptured data or even missing values of ECG range. Source docs like health review form, those in-house subject's activity schedules(correct version). As in between stays, some volunteers self-withdrew due 2 personal reasons. While some were withdrew by our own study docs mainly for subjects' own health & safety too. So mainly the whole "process" is to ensure all datas were being checked through & hopefully 2 ensure that no mistakes were 2 b found after 2nd checker has done his/her job. After all, all these job were eventually send to another so-called *audits company for checks again... Since some of us "New staff" haven took up their own Studies/Protocols yet, at 1st they were spared from doing these checks. However, as there were simply too many protocols 2 archive ranging from simple studies to complicated like those FIH (1st in human). It's totally unfair 2 just rely on those few staffs a few Full-time staff(FTE) & those who have worked for couple of years to do it.. So after several talks among FTE & Lead nurse --> the churned CheckList for archiving is out~~. After going through the difficult studies like FIH to those easier ones, most of us were checking on our own. We took opportunity during this week to eat out more often, as by next month onwards it would seems difficult 2 eat out already as we would be busy with numerous studies. We went to venture places nearby our work place such as Shaw center basement thai rest, national library's Han cafe, opposite Bugis (so called famous fish noodles..) and even to try Vietnamese food which's ok not that excellent.. Overall, even tot achieving seems boring but at least got some work to do, better than none. We even get to taste nice and cheap food around workplace.

R.I.P 4ever my beloved...

Today early morning about 10.40 while having breakfast with my Dar at nearby his hse coffeeshop, i happened to just have a peek on my phone.. Then the most unbelievable cum disasterous stuck, the whole phone including LCD blank: with only a bright lite & several multi-coloured with black spots staring at me~!? From tat moment on, i knew tat my beloved N70 phone-24 hrs companion cum daily alarm clock (which wakes me up for work..) for almost 2 years has left me 4ever~~ Why of all time it MUST happened when i will be working 2morrow.. T.T Out of despair, i called my bro for help asking whether at home got any spare phone? He told me got 1 a quite old model but still usuable (6510).. I still remembered it did happened once to my dar too tink last year too, actually he wanted 2 trade in his old phone 2 a new 1. But few days later during morning time he woke up the similar thing happened to his phone. So no choice we went to a 2nd-handphone shop in hope tat the phone could be revived.. But when we heard wat the salesman told us once its the LCD screen got such signs: it meant quite unlikely beyond repair, however he'll try to repair but with minimal hope. So in return he got another 2nd-handphone with some cash discount~ After abt 1 year of phone usage , the 2nd-handphone also "died" a natural death.. So to people reading my current post, do bear in mind if looking for long-term n durable phones, find a reputable shop rather then the above i mentioned~ B4 i went to walk around, i called (using those coin-phone booth~)home n my Dar who's working to inform them of my whereabouts.. Just in case my fanatic mum went calling the whole family or even worst reportin to Police of her missing daughter since yesterday evening?! While sitting in bus or even train, seeing everyone around me having a phone with them just makes me feel uncomfortable. It also made me realised the importance of today's modern technology which sometimes or most of the time WE, Humans take advantage of or even relied heavily on.. After walking around for about 3 hours at a nearby my house shopping mall, i decided to went home instead to look for tat so-called usable phone. To both my happiness-cum-shocked expression, i finally found the spare phone.. No doubt it's still in usable condition but the model-wise appear abit too old-fashioned. Even though it's phone colour-faded but the battery has slightly dusty covering too.. So i decided to ask favour's from frens 2 see if they got any spare phone to tide me over till weekend. Finally i managed to get 1 of my ex-sec school fren for help. Hopefully she could also help me transfer my data-cum-pics from my memory card too, as she got a sim-card reader. It also seems tat her spare phone is the same as my bro's 1 too, pray tat it would in better condition.. She's working OT today so cant meet her, only hope tml is to hide my phone or used it when noone's around. May the weekend arrived quickly so i could get myself a new phone~ I longed wanted to change a new phone since last Dec as my phone's contract was due. I kept delaying it months after months as i kept reminding myself tat it's still in working condition. From the trade-in price of 200 bucks, now to a misery of big ZERO.I should have listened to my dar's advice instead, now i can't change the situation around anymore.. Now its seems tat even Heaven's "mourning" for the loss of my phone, as it's still drizzling~

P.S: I guess the short lifespan of my current phone could be due to my mis-handling it too. Incidences like dropping on floor several times (only 1st time when it dropped tat did i treat with care..) or most of the times putting too hard (aka throwing) onto table in anger!! May this incident teach me a lesson to curb my temper so as not to end myself in misery again~ R.I.P my N70..

Celebration of "commeralised" V-Day!!

It's tat time of the year again~ Almost everywhere i go be it left or right, either mostly gals would be holding a bouquet of real flowers or guys holding onto them while waiting for their gal-frens to turn up. Guess upon this time of the year, from the innocent to the even "willing" customers would flock to the namely few places either for their last-min buying or even "planned" event: florist, chocolates, wines/champagne, booked restaurants or hotels (sometimes even paying a hugh sum just 2 create the romantic ambiance~) Well as for me, even though i dun feel like celebrating on this particular day. Actually i was being offered by my ex-colleague together with her fren for a Karaoke session. But my Dar insisted that he wanted to spend it just with me only. Thus suggestion not taken up by him. As he's working quite late till about nearly 21:30 hrs. We didn't chose any crowded place like TOWN area (for sure it would be packed with tons of lovely-dovey COUPLES~) So instead we went to nearby my area @Bliss cafe. Location was somewhere inside Punggol park itself. Discovered this place few years ago, by chance too-a nice place 2 chill out with frens.. Surrounding it in the center, there's a pond whereby ppl could go there for fishing, or can have scrolling/jogging inside the park too. It's also at this place where i 1st experienced my "malu" AKA embarrassed moment after less then half a glass of Margarita. I shall not dwell on it. Anyway, their signature dish is the mouth-watering humongous 2 scoops of mashed potatoes, followed by their desserts. Next time, when i visit there again, hopefully i would able 2 take a few nice pics & post it in here ok~ As he finished work late & most probably by the time he reached the Cafe would have closed le.. So i went there earlier hopefully to get a table. True enough, luckily i went there earlier, if not we would most probably went 2 nearby kopi-tiam AKA coffeeshop le. Wanted 2 choose air-con area indoors, but was quite crowded. So no choice, sat outside divided into smoker/non-smoker areas as usual. While i was lookin thru the menu, a familiar wearing black-top guy appeared.. As it was a "special" day, of cos the cafe offered set dinner. So we got ourselves 1 set each, on top of 2 glasses of red wine 2 complement it. Overall, the taste still all right as compared 2 those normal dishes. While i cant drink too much as i need report 2 work on next day. So Dar helped me drink my unfinished 2/3 glass of wine. The truth is i dun quite like drink wine/beer as compared to Vodka/Jack Daniel mixed with either green tea or coke. Now i'm slowly training on my drinking skills once in awhile. Hehe.. End of the dinner, after paying abt 80 plus for it. we decided 2 head back home. As it's still early, we took bus instead of cab.. Luckily, i didn't really drank that much so i could still walk/behave normally. However, my face or sometimes whole upper body, hands would appear reddish; as though i just went sun-tanning.. So having such symptoms, normally i would either avoid going home if i gets abit "High" or went 2 drink some mineral water/carbonated drinks. No presents, flower, candlelight dinner for this so-called SPECIAL day.. However, i felt even though there's no such stuffs as long as i could spend it tog with my Dar is more then enough le. Muacks~~
