weeeee.... weekends are a BLAST!
how many of you went to the IT fair 2005?
I was shocked by the overwhelmed crowd that was heading towards the place. too many people, too hot, too many good deals, too many gadgets, too many temptations BUT too little money.. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I was soooooo into the ipod mini... oh my...I juz feel like grabbing the pink or the green one and paying in the counter. juz have the money in my bank, juz wanna have the indulgence of having one, juz curious, juz luxury... in the end, juz a want.
perphaps, I should wake up to reality and realise it's practically and looking beyond skin deep.
"dun be so shallow!!!!!!!!!!" "Lynette buy things based on design and looks" maybe it's girls
juz merely touching it make me droollll........
SoonI think it through and hard (with the advice from kenneth hehehehee :), of coz thinking of the impractical reasons to CONSOLE myself so please agree with me:
the offs of ipod mini: 1. no fm radio. I need radio! 2. 4gb, 6gb of songs? why do u need so much songs? soon old songs will get obsolete and becomes placing songs in for the sake of using the space 3. mp3 songs availability dropped. Yaps, with govt intervention into privacy and downloading of mp3 songs, where do we find 'FREE' songs now? if you have idea, would u like to help me out here? 4. becoz of no fm radio, I can't record songs as and when i like it so no point la! 5. so durability tested? 6. sound quality incomparable with others? 7. no storage drive, can it act like a thumbdrive like other mp3 players? 8. price? not worth it :P 9. too big, can't work out or run with it 10. conclusion: IT'S JUZ THE LOOKS!
creative is up and following ipod so maybe worth the consideration!
got a bad news: my computer is down becoz of network connectivity! now blogging using kenneth's lappy..
got a good news: for me! I bought a new canon camera from IT fair! hehee will post pictures soon. I love photography so finally i have the chance!
who wanna buy 2nd hand camera? let me know. I can sell you my old camera.
stay tuned in for new updates abt my camera, my old camera, my sucky work, my love, my corny friends, my family, my unbalance life, my fat eating habits and more to it, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

weeee!
I went for California Fitness Gym 2 weeks' trial and tried out body pump and boxercise. I nearly fainted!
I guess I've long been not working out and it was very exhausting for me that day. My legs were aching and I juz can't continue with the energetic and so called 'pro' or lao jiaos.. as well as I was rather conscious on how I was working like... terrible!
hehee.... but the steambath was all worth it :P Should I join to work out with Kenneth? Stress..sweat.. scare wasting all the money. I must agree with kenneth that to join gym must join classes or else whats the point of juz running on track mill? I might as well run in the park with sceneries and fresh air to breathe in
it was on the 7th day of my grandmother's death that i went to the gym so i went home and slept like log... all was well :)
have u ever wondered if your loved one came back to look for you?
will u ever shun though u really wish to feel his/her presence again? I guess I was taunted by this question.
"she loved u and she will nv hurt u" but who isn't scare of the unfamiliar encounter with a supernatural one even.
No idea if it really did happen, i guess i will be scared stiff. appear in my dreams - good enough. a sweet one preferably...
I dreamt of her in a hospital so unknown... by her deathbed side and she request to c my father one last time b4 she moved on.... but she went off without. next moment, she revived in the dream and when I called out her name, she gave me a big broad smile :) and soon I heard my father rushing towards the room. the dream ended there.
did she really came into my dream? was her smile assuring she's happy wherever she is? or could it be thoughts from the day brought this dream?
No matter what it is, i felt her and it feels bitter sweet + tears of memories & Love....

2 March I went home and received a bad news when I stepped in.
my grandmother passed away...
i was shocked and i broke down. we rushed down to salvation army peace haven and saw her body lying on the bed. she's like a baby, she's like sleeping... juz can't believe she's gone..
i can't stop crying when i c her there......
the nurses said she passed away peacefully, her pulse gradually stopped.. & i guessed that's the most important.. to have a life with children and grandchildren and live to a ripe age of 95
sad, can't bear her to leave but felt at ease at least she's no more suffering, in a place called heaven ( she's a christian)
today as I am blogging this now, is her 7th day
since young, I am always with her till I was 5 because my parents are always working. I was very close with her and I can only speak cantonese and mandarin when I was with her.. we had many close memories when I was a baby... but we drift apart when I go back to my parents...
I really miss her because she's the cutest person ever existed. her eyes are blue (dunno y) and she's very petite and love to talk about the past.
she's very lucky. at the age of 85, she's still very active, live by her own and sometimes staying with us, going to market buy and cook our fave food for us.
until one day, she slept and woke up feeling dizzy and that's it, she got a stroke with low blood pressure.
ever since, she lived in salvation army peace haven....until god came to receive her
She will always be in my heart and in my mind.
life and death is predestined. no regrets. most important is when the person is alive to treat her well and not wait until she's gone then regret.
Until now, I can't believe she's gone when I can remember her smiling face.... beholding, cherishing people before they are gone.....

long time no updates!
Today was a funderful fruitful day for me. I wanna blog, blog down everything I've experience from mediacorp radio. the bad and the good.
it has been 5 mths. A torrendous but yet challenging 5 mths. everything in mediacorp radio must be done snip snap, meticulous and nitty grutty details has to be noted down, tons of procedures (Listed and not listed), being a gatekeeper to the higher management and the sales people can be the most careful thing that gotta be handled.
humans...we err.. we defend.. we have pride.. we have miscomm..we have our breakdowns as well.
with 67 people in the dept. nonetheless can be prevented with human relation conflicts and disputes especially in the area of sales. everything have to be B & W, clear cut and documented, filed, retrieved, endorsement, signatures etc etc.
that's big co. do
i was really not used to it in the 1st place. everything u process, have different levels of management to acknowledged. and u better hell noe what u r telling them to approve on. Made lots of mistakes and the pace - very fast and people will come chasing u for things to be done. have to make sure the sales people close sales with no discrepancies and they are bookings worth 4 - 5 digits. No messing around with datelines here.
Procastinators simply can't survive in there.
yaps, in this co. the highest have their glory. everyone have their knowledge how to not to keep their asses on the air.
NOT everything about there is bad remember?
Mediacorp radio is like a family. Mr James Yip is a very nice CEO. He makes the effort to lunch with everyone even us. Charming cheerful fun loving guy. he makes the point to explain to us and motivate us with beer and wine -_-". he joins the fun with us. most of all, he incentive us. he really got the passion. the passion for people management and radio.
Tristine - our GM is one of the best bosses I've ever met as well. She's like a sunshine lady with no threat no airs and smiles and greet at u. she even serve us food one time. She even sms us happy CNY! omg..I really respect. she place on par with us sometimes even. telling us about her family, her son, her life and practically opening up to her subordinates. I must thank her too. we played bingo and she offer to buy a tic for me to try my luck and I won $100 centrepoint voucher! yeah........
Today, she brought us to Keyaki Japanese restaurant in Pan Pac hotel. It's so zen-like and exquisite. not forgetting the costly food she ordered for us. We really ordered alot alot for about 15 people - admin pool only. had fun and laugh lots and she keep drowning us with cold sakae. EMmMmmMM... simply shoika. I am getting fatter. How could I not be? been eating alot of good food recently with treats from mediacorp. went to the beer garden in orchid country club with mediacorp radio to loh hei. the food there is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! u must try if u need good food: lobster porridge especially
I must say... Mediacorp radio management has been an eye-opener to me. I've learned so much and is still learning. it's hard to find another corporate culture like theirs. No idea about other depts like tv, studios, new, press, technology.
for now, I will work hard! and look forward for my company retreat and confirmation appraisal after 6 mths.. *praying*
lynette better not make any more mistakes! tor long tor long...
