headed to onnuri today with 해나언니 today. service was gd.. though i missed the worship.. >_< really miss NCC's worship though.. sigh.. guess i'll just have to DIY.. haha. planning on getting my own guitar soon.. n prolly some classes as well. :) i do think that the service was a tad short too.. ps prince can just go on n on for hours.. hehe. :P
we're getting a holiday on tues! gonna hang out with xialing.. she's in KR for a short trip! will look her up when i go over to TW in may with yvonne as well!!! hehehe.
don't really feel like writing much today.. hmm. n my blog doesn't have that many pictures of me too. haha. as compared to 2008. :P most of my pictures are up on fb.. haven't really been taking pictures either.. guess its cos i'm too used to the place that the need for pictures don't surface.. :P

to round off the end of the work week...
my haul of books! with 2 more on the way!!! :)
received 4 out of the 6 books i ordered via Book Depository on Tues. However, the postman left my books in no 525's mailbox instead of mine! (no 524). n it wasn't the 1st time that this happened! Thank God i managed to claim my books before anything happened.. its peculiar how they can't seem to tell the difference between 524 and 525.. its not even written in korean for goodness sake.. weird..
the new project that i'm on is pretty interesting.. learnt a lot more abt the korean banking system & the differences from the SG banking system. i realised tt SG's banking system is really transparent & a lot more stable. the korean banking system seems to be a mishmash of various small players & a few big fish that eventually swallow up the small ones.. loads of M&As, loans, suspensions going on around here.. in fact, they just suspended 8 savings banks due to a lack of liquidity/failure to meet the BIS ratio(capital ratio).. still prefer banks over manufacturing/regular companies for some reason. its a lot more challenging but yet interesting.. :) hopefully i'll get put on more of such jobs.. hehe. nice Ms and SMs make a whole load of difference. :)
i think i'll try heading to Onnuri this sunday.. think i still prefer english sermons.. hmm.. something's missing somewhere. hopefully i'll find the missing piece to this puzzle on sunday..

retail therapy & more
my excellent haul of F21 goodies within a span of 2 weeks & after working horrendous hours over a few days..
why do i foresee even more things to come?
this is bad.. tsk tsk tsk. i should really kick this bad habit..
had dinner with 해나언니 @ 광화문.. she had to work late even on a friday.. poor thing.. though i faced the same fate sometime last week. the perils of work. oh well. i guess its something that we all have to go through.
looks like i'll be heading to Qingdao in April on a biz trip.. hope that its not too bad.. my very 1st trip to China. how exciting indeed.
and its Taiwan in May & maybe Europe in Sept? though i'm not sure how the Europe trip's gonna work out with just 2 of us.. accom's gonna be a killer! eeeeks. and i guess i'll round off the year with a trip back to sunny SG.. lovely 2011 indeed!

of olive young & random things
stopped by olive young @ times square today for some retail therapy.. n bought useless stuff just cause the packaging was pretty! though i know that its a really lame excuse!
My Beauty Diary Chocolate + Bulgarian White Rose Mask(13,800won) + Organic Aqua Tissue(1,500won)
the color combination's really nice!
i'm using the Bulgarian White Rose mask right now & it really has a v nice smell! hehe. my 1st day home early this week & it feels really great.. :) worked till 1am on mon & 5am on tues! the horror! i broke my personal best record of 230am in SG twice over in KR! but overall, i still think that the work here is better than SG. the projects aren't really consecutive, so you only really have to work late when the deadline draws near.. unlike SG, where i was booked back to back for the whole year!
i got placed on a banking advisory job cause they found out that i did bank audits back in SG. perhaps i shd have kept my mouth shut. then i would have had the whole week free.. but oh well. its a gd opportunity to learn. so yup. i shd grab the chance to learn more for the time that i'm here.. :)

waxing lyrical - the angst within
there are times when i feel empathy towards it, that poor lost soul oh so misguided & deluded. but for the vast majority of the time, i just feel like grabbing it by its shoulders & shaking it real hard to get some sense in.
is it human nature to always believe that we are the best despite what other people say? maybe that so called air of superiority stems from a severe lack of confidence & inferiority? you don't see it at first. but slowly & surely, it creeps up over you and threatens to engulf you with its stifling hot air.. the hot air that one always boasts of. but what goes up, always comes down.. that's the law of gravity.
perhaps i should learn to cut loose and not take things so seriously. but something about that smugness just irritates the hell out of me. and like everything else, you have to grin & bear it.
it might not be too early for me to start searching for my own refuge.. like an oasis in the desert. the Gobi's too far away, while the Sahara doesn't entice me. i suppose i'll have to be content with good ole' Hangang. i'm not ready to return to the tropical waters as of now. Although someone has been enticing me with a nice fat carrot over there, but i guess i'll pass for now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ended up spending USD$50 at www.bookdepository.co.uk for 6 books. got a couple of chick lit books + murakami. am eagerly anticipating their arrival. somehow, i feel starved of good literature. perhaps its the fact that i'm placed in a non-english environment, so much so that my inner shakesphere's struggling to get out..i used to read a lot more in JC/sec sch, probably due to mine being in the arts faculty.. i probably had a lot more time on my hands then. i really enjoyed the carefreeness of studying then. Arts was really a whole lot less taxing than your typical science combination.
I sometimes wonder what would have been had I chosen to major in literature at NUS instead. would i still be here? would i have been happier in my job? would i even be able to find a proper job? but i guess this is the path that God has chosen for me & though its not that bad, i'm waiting to see how it'll become even better....
