15th June 08

Hi~ Some updates about my life. Hm currently I'm feeling alittle demoralised by my work = time for a breather. My enthusiasm to finish my work seems alittle short these days... Thank god I will be going for one week holidays with Shicai to Cameron Highlands & KL in last week of June. Ha Shicai will be planning the itinerary of course, I cannot be bothered with maps actually.

This week was the first time I went on bonding session with my female colleagues. Thurs tennis and friday KTV. Why didn't I do so earlier? Partially its cos' we were from different groups and also cos' they've been sending outing emails to the wrong person. Apparently there is an email called "quiling" but its an empty email to nowhere. For ppl out there who do not know how to spell my name, its qIU not qUI. :P

Today I went with Shicai to the new boardwalk near Vivo. Well at first I thought it was a simple straighforward at most 1 hr walk, so I went for a jog in the morning. But.......... sigh......... I was deluded. Basically we started walking from NUS, walk & walk & walk to Mt Faber. Total time = 3hrs. Total distance covered = ~10km. My knees were threatenin to wobble from the mental surprise & jog in the morning. .

Tomorrow I will be doing skin patch test. Hopefully it can show what materials I am allergic to. My eczema is causing some slight concerns. Can't bathe my back from Mon to Thurs as the patch is there = no strenous excercise. Ha dunno to be happy or not.

Okay that is my schedule. Emotionally wise, I have changed alittle since starting work. I am not as blatantly naive & trusting of ppl.. u never know if the person u are talkin to is actually diggin a hole for u to fall into with his words... I also came to realise my character more. I think that I tend to make up excuses for people's flaws. What do I mean? Person "A" is mean to me & I will think: its alright, maybe he is having a bad day. I know he is a good person at heart.

I only learn my lesson after afew recurring incidents that if a person is a jerk, he/she cannot be excused away. Cannot be so soft hearted - I help them but they are mean to me, so whats the point of helping them anyway? Thus I end my entry, with a hard note.. haha *tuunnnggg* (sound of solid metal ringing)

Oh cool, you actually tried out that boardwalk. Was thinking of going for it too. But were there lots of mozzies?

And it's great that you are finally going for a short break. It will definitely help. Mine did! =)

Oh, and you know what? I used to spell you name as QUI and not QIU last time too. Oops :P

About your emotional change, eh well... That's life actually. It's something I learnt too, and through the hard way as well. Just take care not be too nice to people, or at least be more wary of who you are nice to. Take care =)

wow, my dear qiuling has finally updated her blog. haha, i tot tis day would nva come => teasing la, my apologies... only chanced upon ur new blog post today.

yeah, i know work is quite challenging for u, esp in terms of the culture there as well as having to handle diff personalities. but u are doing fine, so keep ur head high kay n rem tat u deserve credit for all ur learning n hard work. we all make mistakes at work, cos no1 is perfect. the semicon industry is a cut-throat place, tat serves as a gd training ground for u, look on the bright side kay.

life is a journey of discovery of ourselves as well as those ard. it seems we nva stop growing up or learning, n i'm glad tat u recognize the need to do things within ur comfort level, rather than just wanting to be nice. have a fun n relaxing holiday kay, its time for u to just play n enjoy. love u as i always do. =>
