5 Mountains in One Day

Mountains? :o Well....in Auckland standard... :p

• Mt. Eden
• Mt. Hobson
• St. John
• One Tree Hill
• Big King

We went mountain crawling today. It was fun and surprisingly relaxing. I am not fit at all, but that's part of the reasons I went (oh and it was his birthday too). My deteriorating arms, neck and eyesights finally had the chance to stretch, relax and exercise :)

Compliments?!

"I was supposed to say this, but kinda embarrassed to say - You still look beautiful!"

"Have you gained some weight lately?"

Apparently, both comments were supposed to be compliments. However, somehow they just do NOT sound very genuine to me at all :x

I am a Genius

I have caught up EVERYTHING in 2 days!!! I am such a genius!!

Ummm.... the down side of it is that now they know that I was mucking around for 8 weeks and they are going to expect me to be this efficient :o

日子不好混了 :p

Mid-Autumn Festival!

After feeling really stink last night, I came in early to show my dedication to fix my mistake! I worked diligently and smartly from 8am - 6:30pm with limited breaks. I am amazed and pleased with my progress today :)

After my session, I caught up with an Uni friend instead of my usual company. We chatted until quite late, but I wasn't completely knackered considering that it has been a very long day for me. I guess I was in a good spirit today with good progress at work, life and friendship :) I even paid for his drink! I must be in a good mood :p

WRONG Dataset

It wasn't nice to find out that I have been using the WRONG dataset in the last 8 weeks! :# Not when it was 5 o'clock home time!! Now, I have to rerun EVERYTHING! :( I am feeling pretty awful and stink especially it's entirely all my fault!

I think they would really want to take all those praise back now after this incident!

Darkness Purifier

It was really nice surprise to see some chocolate and moon cake sitting on my doormat when I open the door this morning :D

Thank you for the lovely message, my dear darkness purifier :)

Farewell Party

I thought I couldn't, but I managed to go to his farewell party in the end. A lot of people is great when you were hiding something as you can easily avoiding.

It was quite surreal to run into an old friend in such a function, who I haven't seen for 10 years!! He was part of first bunch of friends I made when I first came to NZ. It's quite amusing that he wouldn't want to go on a blind date with me because of his friend had a crash on me 10 years ago! Oh....memory~~ :$

Mighty Spiky!

My sweepstakes prediction has taken the biggest jump over the weekend! It picked up maximum of 15/15 points!!!

Well done Mighty Spiky! (Yes, it has a name! ;) )

No wonder my boss refused to play this year as he didn't enjoy being beaten by my Excel model last year for the Football World Cup :p I am not aiming to win, but to beat as many people as possible :)

Finally a good call, even it meant that I had to miss my bus and get home very late :)

Roses x 12

It would be nice to see people's reaction when they saw those roses and chocolate sitting on their desk. Special occasion? Not really. But if you really need a reason, here you go...

1. I promised poms to give them red roses to support their team
2. The chocolate was on special
3. It's Monday and it's depressing...
4. People can always do with some cheering up

My self-esteem has been low lately so seeing my actions brightening up other people's day means more to me than anything. Receiving those thank-you emails from UK and from work make me feel that my existence seems worthwhile.

Keep breathing, keep fighting, keep having hope... :)

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING???!!!

"I don’t know exactly what you have been doing at Company S but three people have independently told me what a great job you have been doing! Well done."

After working at my company for one and a half year, the first time I got any official praise from the senior management is for the job that I am doing for another company! What does that tell you!! :o With such an encouragement, I put my name down for the Half Marathon challenge so I can stuff up the Auckland traffic even more as a traffic engineer :p

I then had a small Uni reunite after work, thanks to Facebook. It's funny that we were not only catching up for what we were doing after the graduation, but also during Uni. We revealed a few rumoured relationships, including mine :$. It's surprising how little we knew about each other back then :p

The High School Musical (on stage) was slightly disappointing due to the awful sound system! However, the lead singers' vocals were amazing!! I was moving with the music for the entire show (after I got over the bad sounding). Now I got sounds (and movements) stuck in my mind... I hope none of my other friends saw us singing and dancing on the streets... :p

We're all in this together
When we reach
We can fly
Know inside
We can make it

- We're all in this together, High School Musical

We’re soaring
Flying
There’s not a star in heaven
That we can’t reach

If we’re trying
Yeah, we’re breaking free

Man....finding red roses are as hard as finding love these days! :(

I drove around for hours, but had no success finding a bundle of good red roses. Since Germany isn't in the World Cup (Rugby), I was brainwashed by the poms and have became England supporter. Well, of course it's with the proviso that they don't end up playing against All Black (like that's likely to happen :p Shhhhhh...I am not a very good supporter, aren't I?)

Weight on Shoulders

It was the first time I have no one after my session. The anger, the disappointment, the hurt, the sadness were too overwhelming, that they overtook the usual warmth he could provide me.

He was the one helped me through my last depression. Now, he is the one triggers my depression, except that I have no other super hero with me this time :(

I think the rejection affects me more than I thought. I realised that I am actually quite vulnerable these days. I am really impatient in general, and get irritated easily. Calls get on my nerve more than usual as well. And I am afraid of asking things that I want.

And just now, I witnessed my bus driver got beaten up by three teenagers!! I am feeling angry :@ that not enough ppl doing anything to support the driver! Shamefully, I was one of them. I felt the urge that I had to do something, or I would be really upset at myself later and wish I would have had done something. Thus, I walked up to the driver and showed my compassion and gave him my business card just in case he needed some witness for the incident.

It was important for me to do something tonight as I have been feeling quite useless these days.

Flooded!

I woke up and walked into my bathroom with water all over the place! :o

I started my investigation after brushing my teeth and washing my face (Of course! I am a girl with priority :p). There has been a leakage at the bend under our hand basin. Maybe the seal need to be replaced or something. It's probably not too serious (or at least I hope not). The water is dropping at the rate of 1 ml per second. As a qualified engineer, I quickly reacted to my instinct (after my breakfast) and built a gutter to redirect the leak into a bucket.

I am so proud of my ingenuity because it works beautifully! I came home and my floor is still dry. My engineering creation is collecting more water than my dehumidifier! I am such a good engineer :D

"Reparo!"
Where is Hermione when I need her :(

Going to Work in My Pajamas

After a shift with the theme of relationships and seeing the Pillowman, I was a bit uneasy/unsettle so I totally forgot to pick up my laptop :(

So, here I am about to go to bed in my comfy pajamas and realise that I have to make a trip to my office. Should I get chanced? Nah! I can't be bothered! I hope I just don't run into anyone though! ;)
