So much to tell!!

2009-01-30T23:48:00.008+08:00

Gosh where shall i start........ ummm okie i'm goin to conveniently left out certain details of what had happened to me recently, just so that i avoid all the numerous phone calls and text msgs that wld go, " Hey rena! Why happened? Oh my gosh! Why u never tell me huh? or Rena how cld u have not told me this? "...so better don't to open the can of worms... =)

Year 2009 totally didn't start out the way i had wished and prayed for. It was horrible for me personally. But ya know wat?! Something sorta good finally came out it. Time away from work allowed me to do and seeing things that i wld have NEVER had the time to do. It was the most simple things that made be really happy the past couple of days. And i made a list of the things i had done and was able to experience. Hopefully this will serve as a reminder sld i ever slip back into workin a lil too much....

Got to spend quality time with my mum; shopping, cooking, & simply chatting (*haven't done that in a very long long time despite the fact we live under the same roof*)
Had a sleep-over party @ my cousin sista's place (*I was so delighted that i got to spend time with almost ALL my little cousins, nieces and nephews. This was a BLAST man! =) *)
Have three or more healthy meals a days. And yes.. I did it! (* Home-cooked food, desserts and a whole lot more with NO junk food nor carbonated drinks *)

Went to visit my granny after sooo long (*Man this felt good! To get her blessing, eating her scrumptious food. Man i love it! *)
Waking up late! Now this i totally loved doing it. (*Woke up watever time i felt like, and watched my favourite shows all day*)

Went to the beach. Thanks to stephy, i managed to motivate myself to get up and go out and soak in the Sun, Sand & the Sea. (*Thanks alot stephy... u were a great tour guide as well...hahah*)
Visited the Temple. This was the one last thing i had really really wanted to do. (*Man it felt freakin awwsome!*)

Now that i'm all rejuvenated and a postive person, i hope and pray to God that i can kept up this pace and bring the positive vibe to work. I'm sure it'll do others a favour as well.... =)

Signing out...as a Happier and Healthier Rena... Peace out!! =)

NEW YEAR, NEW LIFE....

2009-01-01T17:56:00.005+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Can't believe that a year had just passed by in an blink of an eye man. Man! did i have one HECK of year. Some days were bad, some days were horrendous & of course i had some really FREAKIN awwsome days as well.... Well no matter what kind of madness and joy i had experienced in 2008, it was ALL a learning journey for me as a young adult.

I personally and very strongly believe that I've matured alot and have fine-tuned myself to adapt to all the hoopla that's constantly surrounding me. I've to give thanks to GOD for having at least a lil mercy on me...but i'm sure he cld do better... LOL..

Thanks to my family for putting up with all my crazy mood-swings and tolerating the fact that i'm rarely at home.

Thanks to my dear darlins who often knocks some cow sense into me and always making sure tat i don't go kuku crazy and end up in an ayslum ...hahah....

Thanks to my cousins and aunts who never fail to ask of my well-being and they are always so very much supportive in all tat i do.

I certaintly hope and pray to god tat 2009 will be THE year tat i set sail to greater heights.

So CHEERS to that!!!

Time Flies...Too fast

2008-12-09T17:12:00.007+08:00

The end of 2008 is fast approaching..and my oh my do I have soo much to update ya'll with. Ok I'm going to try and list down all the major stuff that had occured in recent times... so here it goes;-

1. Receptionist of the Year 2008 (ROTY), December 2nd 2008

Gosh it's been such a roller coaster ride for me. This journey to ROTY wasn't an easy thing to go through, so kudos to all the hardwork to ALL the finalist, of whom I'm so fortunate to have become such good buddies with. The fact that I won 2nd runner is such a HUGE accomplishment for me. I'll by lying if i said I wasn't disappointed that I hadn't won 1st, but hey not even one will get a chance to say they are the top 3 Receptionist in the whole of Singapore. So I'm a happy camper!! Really blessed.. =)

2. Dad's Union of Sercurity Employees 30th Anniversary Dinner & Dance, 24th November 2008

This was a proud moment for all of us in the family. To see my dad being honored by all his peers and even the ministers surely made me sooo immensely proud of him. This dinner and dance to celebrate 30 amazing years in the Private security industry had been a dream come true for my dad. All the countless hours of being away from home, fighting for people's right and working hard to being up the level of the security industry ain't an easy job. The fact is that my dad and his small team of hardworking and loyal colleagues did such an amazing job; they dedicated an entire book to these hardworking men and women. Great job guys!!

3. Shaila's Wedding 22nd November 2008

This was a jaw dropping news when my own friend announced that she was going to get married! I mean i've got more than a handful of buddies who have got hitched and some even have 2 kids...but this was different. She's like one of my closest buddies & she's married! Gosh i'm soo freaking happy for her man. Moreover it was soooo delightful to meet almost all of my secondary sch and some friends of mine who attended the wedding. It was such a colourful and fun-filled day. I mean we were all making soo much of noise, catching up with each other lives. Some of my friends are also planning to get married, one of them brought their kid and some are even planning to get an apartment. Good lord! Everyone has grown up sooooo much! Looks like some took the family path and some took the career path. I surely have no plans to get married or even have kids... at least not for the next 5 years or more... LOL...

4. GM's Challenge Trophy 5th December 2008

Looks like this year Fairmont Singapore is on a winning spree. I certainly hope to god that the winning spree continues in the years to come. This year we were set to hold to the title of Champions for the Men's Football and Women's Handball match. And boy did we smash Swissôtel the Stamford in the first half of the Ladies Handball match. Out score was like 11 vs 2 in the first half, which completely unbelievable coz we most of us in the team were pint size. Looks like size does NOT matter! Anyway it was a crazy ass match with us girls almost that close into getting into a brawl. Yesh u heard it right.. But watever man... we still won.. AGAIN!!! Woohoo!!

Tension.. My oh My....

2008-11-26T02:01:00.002+08:00

Sometimes i feel like the BIGGEST fool in world. To let pple walk all over me. Then when I finally speak up, these idiots say shit like... oh why u soo bossy? Why you so moody...? Why this? Why that? Like wat the FUCK man!! Get a life you pple... Go pick on someone else.

Every damn place I've EVER traveled to, worked @ or studied at... always have bunch of MOTHERFUCKERS i tell you. One major thing never changes either... the "name-calling". I always seem to have really mean pple around me, calling me names. These assholes think it's funny but i find it VERY rude and inappropriate..esp when it's at work and WORST infront of guests.

I'M SICK OF IT!!

It's very apparent tat these pple aren't very well-educated neither did they have any good up bringing. I mean before you judge me and say.. oh my gosh... why is Rena being so mean and saying stuff like?! Well as cliché as it may sound...truth hurts ya'll... These pple just don't have one single ounce of respect for their peers.

Hate them all........

Dying.. Bit By Bit

2008-11-10T21:52:00.002+08:00

Don't let the header of my blog entry frighten ya... It's just tat i've been at work for long hours all thanks to my ROTY training and the Direct check-in @ the executive lounge. Please don't get me wrong... i ain't complaining coz it's part of my job and it's technically what I'm being paid for.. SO yeap....

Well today was launch day for the much awaited direct check-in after donkey years. Fortunately everything went smoothly. Phew!!.. Kudos to all the hardwork and effort put in by my dear darlins & buddies @ work... Jackie, Luan, Ian, Sandra and all the butlers... U're the best!

The day continued for me...i had a long and intensive training with Ms Pek.. my former Front Office Manager & now the official Fairmont Trainer. I asked her ALOT of questions that will hopefully be useful for my competition.. which by the way is in due time... I feel a HEAVY burden on my shoulder... coz every1 has sooo much of faith in me to EXCEL during the finals... Oh boy!! I'm trying my level best to give it my all... coz trust me ya'll... I want this BAD... I really really wanna WIN this coz i've put my blood,sweat and tears into this man...

Wish me luck.....

I'm goin to cut this short...coz I'm feeling a lil dizzy already... too darn sleepy i tell you... Haiz... time to get my beauty sleep... Night Night....

Reality Check...

2008-10-30T21:14:00.002+08:00

Oh boy!! I'm just hours away from returning back to work and I just don't know why... but i'm suddenly struck with this fear... my heart is pounding, i'm having sweaty palms... Oh gosh!! Why?? Why am I feeling this way... & more importantly... why SHOULD i feel this way....

I fear tat i might have a relapse of my panic attack....

There's no rime or reason to feel this way i tell u....

Something is NOT right....

Is this some kind of a sign?

LORD help me understand wat's wrong with me!!...

HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO ALL!!!!!!!

Sick lil puppy's update

2008-10-25T23:50:00.000+08:00

Why is it that whenever a holiday season swings by... lil miss Rena gotta fall ill...like wat the...!!! Argghh... I was soo darn sick a few days ago..so much so that i had almost fainted in my house.... Plus i can't talk or chew my food much coz my jaw hurts like HELL... keeping having a "clicking" sound....Add to that I felt sooo terrible that i was on MC... silly i know... but i always feel bad whenever i think abt my colleagues having to cover my shift... SORRY MY DARLINGS!!!

Nonetheless I slept quite a fair bit.. more than usual... And now that i'm on leave (*thank god!!*).. it really feels so weird... don't know how to explain... having to work almost every other day it's a nice change to be at home with my family (*esp now tat at least they are all in town*).

Well Deepavali is round the corner...almost 48hrs away...& the only thing i really bought for myself was a nice lil girly girl top from ROXY... this year i just don't know why... but i ain't in the holiday mood at all....so strange i tell ya... i use to be the sort tat wld bug my parents to go shopping with me to get decor for the house & something beautiful to wear on deepavali day.... However this year... i never buy anything at all... i mean for an indian suit tat is... I didn't bother to get anything coz my dear brother bought a lovely sari from India! So sweet of him right... LOL... So all i did was to have the sari blouse tailor made (*which cost me a bomb coz i choose a designer one*)....& i bought some matching bangles and bindi.... How pathetic man...

But don't get me wrong... it's nt like i didn't spend much $$ ok... i actually spent a whole lot more in revamping my crib... ohh yesh!! my crib is like heaven to me... I simply adore my room... so this year i spiced it all up.... =) I'll post some pics of my humble abode for your viewing pleasure...

Aite... i better get my beauty sleep now... feeling really drowsy thanks to the numourous pills i had to take... so off i go........

I'm in...!!!

2008-10-18T01:26:00.003+08:00

Hey ya'll...!! Sheesh it's been more than a mth since my last update. Sometimes i wonder if anyone even freaking reads my blog. Anyhow, i really don't care. It's just my blog and my territory to speak my mind... so beat it if you can't handle it aite....

Well GUYS!! great news to share...... yours truly.. erm...(*clears throat*) has been very blessed to be in the finals for the Receptionist of the Year 2008. It's like a major competition in which various well-know hotels here send representatives for. It is amongst these pple who will battle it out to get to the title here in Singapore as the Receptionist of the Year. Hey...before you jump into a conclusion and think.. chey! only local competition wat... WRONG!! it's a an annual event that is held with a big bang and the winner here will represent our nation in the international arena. And trust me ya'll... the journey to get the ultimate prize sure ain't no sugar-coated easy task. It's a whole lotta prep work that goes into it and boy! am i ready to face it head on...

Never have I ever really wanted something so badly. I really wanna win this. Some pple think i just need to take the chill pill... but HELL NO!! Those who know me well enough will know tat i tend to put alot of pressure on myself when it comes to stuff like this and i sure as hell won't be taking the back seat.... So here's to my fellow competitors... GAME ON!!!

Wish me luck darlins.............

Faith

2008-09-17T19:50:00.001+08:00

You’re never gonna break my faith
You knock me down
You push me over
You try so hard
But yet you’re never gonna break my faith

I’m made mistakes
Loads of em’
But who are you to judge
You’re never gonna break my faith

You made me fight a battle that wasn’t mine
You made pay for mistakes that wasn’t mine
You made think I’m worthless
But yet you’re never gonna break my faith

You think I’m weak
You think I ain’t going to make it big
You think nothing else
You’re never gonna break my faith

You bring me down
You make me feel small
You think you got it all
But yet you’re never gonna break my faith

I laugh, I cry
I’m amused at how far you’ll go
The constant bickering
It’s ain’t me
It’s all you
You’re never gonna break my faith

You think you have it all figured out
Talking smack about me
You have nothing
But sadness and self loath
I pity you
All these anger and animosity
But yet you’re never gonna break my faith

You think you’re right
You think you have everyone wrapped around your lil pinky
You think people worship you
But you’re nothing but a joke
And trust me
You’re never ever gonna break my faith

Aye Aye Captain!!

2008-09-01T16:51:00.006+08:00

It's was PIRATES glore last 25th August 2008 as RC Hotels (*ie Swisotel & Fairmont*) held their annual Dinner & Dance at the Raffles Ballroom. This year's theme was PIRATES!!!

Initially i laughed at the thought of having to see all the Directors and the General Managers from both properties dress up as pirates... but hey! when it came down to the actual event... boy were they ALL such good sport..... The GMs dressed up as...nope nt as pirates....they clothed themselves as CAPTAINS!! It was very appropriate... plus they looked really good i tell u... Funny... but cute....

Well as for my lovely front office team and i.... we improvised and we came up with some pretty nice outfits ourselves.... I'll let the pictures do the talking from here on.... ENJOY.....

A lil blur... but tats Shariffa & I getting all dressed up... we took a power nap just b4 tat... coz we both had started work like freakin 6am man....

Party pple.... "Pretty Feet" who did Fairmont FO proud..... They gave it all for the RC IDOLs...

The pirate team....

CRAZY PPLE.............

RAFFLES INC

2008-08-11T01:34:00.005+08:00

The team tat work with @ the Executive Floor, Raffles Inc (*i bet u're confused now coz u thought i was workin at Fairmont S'pore right?*) Well it's strange but in due time we'll be officially called FAIRMONT GOLD..... Anyway... here it goes.... it's rare to get every1 in the pic... but i did the best i cld....

From the left:-

Ian Soh.......the rare few tat i'm willing to trust my life with. Every girl has tat ONE guy friend tat they can turn and ask "guys" stuff and bitch abt horrible dates to, well Ian's the MAN for tat. Though he bitches more tat i do... HAHA.... nah kidding ahh..... Nonetheless he's a freak who TOTALLY reminds me EVERYDAY of my brother. As as kuku crazy & wacky as him.

Jacqueline Torres........ Jacqueline or rather 'Jackie' as i wld often call her, is a great gal pal to work and PARTY with. We have our GIRL talk every now and then and kindda help each other out during the tough times. Jackie is funny in her own ways, most of the time laughing at her own jokes. And oh!! She's a HORRIBLE liar.... Sorry...

Munish N...(*something something la*) I can't recall the spelling of his family name coz it's damn bloddy long. But anyway, Munish is real piece of WORK. He's a typical red blooded man, who talks abt sex or anything pertainin to tat like freakin 24/7. He's annoying at times but hey! i can bet with u tat there's NO one in the entire Front Office team tat is as HARDWORKING & DEDICATED as him. So kudos to tat my friend! Oh! he can whip up some darn nice unique cocktails man.... Impressive i tell u.....

Thomas Mark Anthony...... This fellow is like Munish. Just as crude and brutally honest. I think he's a super head strong person, so much so tat we often bud heads. But hey at least i give him the due respect as my colleague at work. He loves to drink coffee... like ALOT. He's loud, GILA abit and is as skinny...if nt skinny than me... Shessh....

Crislie Nacabalan.......This young lady is a sheer joy to work with. I simple love being around her. There's this aura tat's around her tat makes u feel at ease. Don't be deceived by her innocent look, coz she's a CRAZY gal. She's soooooooo bloody funny at times, Jackie and I can laugh till we have stiches in out tummy. This gal loves to sing and oh even throws in some silly 'pole dancing' moves while working in the lounge. Simply funny to work with.

Pictured here is the team with my Manager Ms Sandra, who's yet a another person in the GILA pple clan....

More to come....

2008-07-31T21:29:00.003+08:00

Watch these clips if you really want and need a GREAT laughter.....

Time to Laugh Out Loud

2008-07-28T19:37:00.003+08:00

It's not been the best week for me... but i gotta thank my dear buddy Ian aka Mr Rockstar for sending me this clip..... So enjoy............

Where's my arrow?

2008-07-20T23:17:00.002+08:00

Looks like it's time for me to play the role of CUPID yet again. It's been awhile since i've worked my magic, but hey i ain't gonna complain ya'll.... At least i'll make someone else's love life more exciting & happier than dwell on my crappy love life.

Ha! What bloody love life i got....Watever...

You know wat... i realized why i don't have much a love life and tat whole nine yard... Coz cupids match-make pple, they don't get into a relationship.. or else it defeats tat whole purpose of being called a CUPID!!

BRAVO to me eh!!

Anyway... i can't wait to hook my two pals up... hehe... time to put my CUPID groove on... Now where did i put that arrow?

Good/ Bad Day

2008-07-11T02:40:00.002+08:00

I had one of those days where it's like being on the 'HULK' (ie. one of the MOST scariest roller coaster ride) I had my good moments and bad moments. The good ones made me feel, wow... this must be an awwsome day for me. Woo Pee!! And then some BITCH, has to burst my bubble.

These days....it's the same ol' BITCH... Argghh!! Saying the word 'bitch' doesn't even mean much anymore when it come to describing that certain someone.

Life's NOT fair. I hate her. She's a MEAN B.I.T.C.H......

Hummph...............

(*ps:- to relief my tension, i had watched Russell Peters. Man funny shit i tell u...*)

Dearly Missed

2008-07-05T01:23:00.005+08:00

MISS U DARLINS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday Off!!

2008-06-30T19:52:00.002+08:00

Wahh what surprise!! I got a MONDAY off!!.... Woo pee doo....... Well b4 i be all so happy, i only got the day off coz i applied for a day off from work... I got soo pissed tat EVERY other week i've been working the late shift. I wonder if my leaders are BLIND or they simply don't give a rats ass abt me.... ohh wat a bummer ain't it...

Ok b4 you start feeling all so sorry for me.... i had a rather good time off and i spent it with my BROTHER... surprise surprise.... yesh i did wat i did, coz i did miss my bro (*almost in tears now*) Call me EMO... i DON'T CARE!! becoz i had a wonderful day with him today. Plus it felt soo darn good to open the door for my daddy and my mum, instead of the other way round. And to see the sheer joy in their faces... ohh... it totally made my day...

HAPPY RENA NOW.....(*blushes*)

Back from the Dead

2008-06-30T02:46:00.001+08:00

Ok i know my blog site has been more or else like super DEAD... but guess wat... I'M BACK!!!!! Since it's the season of awwwsome Summer Blockbuster Movies, plus since i'm such a movie freak... looks like it time once again... after VERY VERY long...... for me to do wat i do best.... be a Critic.....

This might be one of the first romantic comedy movies for this summer. If ya'll know me well enough.... u guy will know tat I'm SOOO NOT into romantic flicks, but I was compelled to watch MAID OF HONOR, all thanks to my niece and nephew who insisted that I watched the movie with em and my brother. What a bunch of weird combination of pple to watch this flick with right.... well wat to do..... hehe...

Well coming back to the movie, it was a lil predictable, like your boy meets girl & that whole nine yards. But it was quite interesting though. I mean come on man.... you've got "Mr McDreamy" acting in it... that sld be good enough yeah. The movie plot is pretty muc abt Tom (Patrick Dempsey), whos life is good - he’s sexy and successful, not to mention he can always rely on his best friend Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). When she goes to Scotland on a business trip, Tom is stunned at how empty life is without her. He resolves to propose to her when she returns but is floored when she becomes engaged to a handsome and wealthy Scotsman and plans to move overseas. Tom agrees to be her ‘maid’ of honor but only so he can try to woo Hannah and stop the wedding before it’s too late.

My RATINGS:- I'll give it 3.5 popcorns, just for the sake of the charming cast.

The next movie i went to watch with was with my daddy & it was the much awaited 'The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian'. I recall fragments of instances while i was growing up when my mother used to read the storybook to my brother and i. I was a lil kid at the edge of seat, super eager to watch the flick.

The plot is pretty straight forward. It's a year after their first adventure in Narnia, the Pevensie siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy) are pulled back in by Susan's magic horn. They find that hundreds of years have passed and Narnia is now ruled by the bloodthirsty General Miraz, uncle to the true heir, Prince Caspian, who is now in exile. The children must find Caspian and help him get rid of Miraz. I totally enjoyed the movie, especially with all the amazing graphics and visal effects.

My RATINGS:- I'll give it 4.5 popcorns, for the awwsome visual effects

The next movie I caught was with my buddies from work. After a freaking LONG LONG day, we all decided tat we need a good laugh. Great enought it was a thursday night and it was the opening day for the movie 'Get Smart'. I recall watch the old television series of the same name. Still remember having tat puzzled look when the actor used a freakin shoe as a phone. Weird but funny. Anyway, the remake of the movie was... ohh i shall i put it... it was ok.. like luke warm ya know... Nothing great nor nothing bad.... just average. But Steve Carell did a lil justice for the infamous character Maxwell Smart.

The plot is tat,Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS' master plan — and each other — they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart — armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm — must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.

My RATINGS:- I'll give it 3 popcorns, for the sake of making me laugh

I've still got a couple more movies tat i'll like to talk abt... but i'm too darn sleepy already. So that's all for NOW folks.

Upset

2008-06-28T00:41:00.000+08:00

Oh my word!! I just saw my roster for next week and i really feel like crying. It's yet another week of working afternoon shift.... It's been like almost 7 FREAKING weeks since i've seen daylight. Technically we're suppose to rotate our shifts... but the word here in question is "suppose"... argh....

I came home today and told my dad that yet again i'm on the late shift. Damn the look on his face... i was abt to crap in my pants... he was soooooo angry. I kindda understand where he's coming from. Coz i barely see my own family these day, other then my days off that is. I mean i live under the same roof but i only see my dad when he picks me from work; i see my mum only like umm... rarely these days, i only get to talk to her on the phone and my brother.. shessh it's even worst. I only see him once in a VERY blue moon.

Looks like i really need to voice out to my managers. Coz i seriously thought they'll realize that it's been soo darn long since i did the morning shift. Plus this WHOLE thing is affecting the wonderful relationship that i had with my friends. Oh god.... save me!....

What the Fetch??!!!

2008-05-27T01:16:00.003+08:00

FINALLY i can publish my post in my own FREAKIN blog..... Hear this pple it's NOT A SPAM BLOG u bunch of KUKU BIRDS..... this darn blogger pple blocked my site just coz they assumed it was bloody spam blog.... MORONS i tell u.....

I rarely talk to my close galfrenz, my granny, john, billy or even my own parents!! It's a freakin sad life.....

I know saying sorry ain't goin to do much.... and i know u guys will say... look here Rena... you're NOT the only who's workin or in school... but u know wat ya'll.... i'm not goin to be mad if u guys say tat to my face..... i deserve to be MISERABLE i guess.... so it's ok... but nonetheless i hope and pray to GOD tat u guys ALL know that i LOVE u all aite... i thank god for friends like u coz i know pple come and go but TRUE Friends are rare to find... & i'm blessed to have a handful of you always by my side..... =)

Bitching Session...Part 1

2008-03-24T01:45:00.000+08:00

Hey darlins...... thnx for all ya well wishes.... and now my promotion is OFFICIAL.... I'm a Senior Guest Relations Assistant.... (*takes a bow...lol...thank u*)... Everyone was sooo genuinely happy for me.... except for ONE person... (*i'll get to the real bitching part later*)..

I came back from a day off last week & to my surprise my fellow colleagues @ work were all like... CONGRATS Rena!! Good job!! Well of course i initially had NO FREAKIN idea what the HELL they were saying it for.... i was like huh?!! i'm not getting married, i'm not pregnant either nor did i win any awards..YET.... so wat was that all abt....?? Being the kuku bird tat i am... i of course thanked graciously FIRST....but after which i was quick enough to ask why were they congratulating me... i can still recall the dumb-found look on my colleagues faces... i bet they wanted to burst out laughing for my sense of stupidity... which a couple of em' did giggle... but hey i really didn't know..... but i finally saw an email that my big boss sent to all of us.... i was really really surprised i tell you..... i really DID NOT see that coming at all.... so that's the positive aspect of my life currently.... however here comes the sad part.... the part where Rena's being BULLIED.... like AGAIN!!!!

Ok here's the deal... Though i'm sort of doing an OFFICER's job at the Raffles Inc Lounge (RIF)... i.e our Executive floor, i'm still NOT being paid for that... it's not that i'm expecting an Officers' pay ok...pls don't get me wrong... i totally understand coz i'm @ RIF all in the name of training but come on lah... tat does NOT mean i can be treated like DIRT right... i'm also a staff of the company.... i really bloody hell hate goin to work esp when there's a certain some1 working.... She's just a mean BITCH.... she's a really piece of WORK i tell you....

Man i so wanna go on with my bitching session...but my hand reallys hurts...(FYI:- i know alot of u might not know...but i have a ugly splint of my left hand, which is painful to deal with) So i'll cont' my bitching session another day.... i'm soooooooooo tired from work.... i wanna go on a HOLIDAY.....(*i think i'm goin nuts....*)

NIGHT NIGHT darlings........i'm just goin to end it here....got to catch some beauty sleep... bye!!

I think life can get better..& i'm getting there...

2008-03-03T13:30:00.000+08:00

As my header states.... it's pretty clear what i'm goin through... Changes is what it is... Loads and heaps LOADS of changes.... Be it good or bad.... All those changes are scary... totally didn't see it coming at all.... Seems like every FREAKING time i'm in my comfort zone... something needs to happen and pull tat rug from beneath my feet... Sheesh!! when is this cycle ever goin be like OVER.

For starters i just wanna say that i toally adore the pple i work with. Yeah there might be occasions where you have a lil squabble here & there and even a lil bickering... but it's NEVER personal... I've had way too many pple ard me telling me to leave my current job coz they think i'm just a real mental person working way too much for way too little. Well i tell to those pple, that it doesn't really matter.. well at least for me.... No point dwelling over monetary matter... coz who knows what the future holds... One day u might be earning alot and the next day u might just fall from grace... and trust me tat'll be a much harder fall...than to work ya way up slowly... so i think my day will come... patience is always a virtue...

Having said tat... i know i can't part the pple i work with coz i just realized over the past week how much i really cared for em.... well some may think i'm being a lil EMO and crazy even...but hey!! i can't help it.... i'm a Sagittarius!! I get attached to pple ard me... good pple ard me that it is... Why the sudden topic abt my frenz at work... it's coz i'll be transferred to another place within the same front office dept though.... it's just that i'll be working in the Executive floor with a whole different pressure put on me.... I felt really sad coz i've formed such a special bond with the rest @ front desk and i won't be seeing em as often as i did anymore... i mean i'll STILL meet em @ the back office...but ya know... it's just different... oh well..... u gotta do wat you gotta do right....

Well i hope to GOD i'll survive this CHANGE... coz i know it's a BIG one for me... so let the good lord have some mercy on me... hahah....

HoLy CrAp!!

2008-02-07T16:53:00.000+08:00

Sadly it's becoming a pattern tat i'm way to freaking busy to blog anymore. Well you can't blame a busy gal like me...who's all set in trying to making it worth-a-while as to where i'm working right now.. And oh b4 i totally forget... i just wanna congratulate my darlin Deborah on her promotion!! I tell you i'm soooooooo freaking proud of her... it's soo totally well-deserved!! (*i hope u're reading this galfren*)

Anyway back to good ol' Rena.... well i've got tonnes of things to update... For starters i've to say how crazy things have been in my ever-so unpredictable life... I realised tat as the years go by...i'm having to face more and more adult issues...(*if ya know wat i mean...*) Sounds a lil silly, but for those who know me wld understand tat wat i'm tryin to get across. Coz the Rena they know is pretty much sheltered and always in her own comfort zone. Well NOT ANYMORE i guess!! Rena's ALL grown-up (*whether or nt my daddy can deal with tat*)

Lately i had done a lil something tat i swear to GOD when my girlfriends hear abt it.... i'll probably need to get the paramedics on standby, coz they might just faint in disbelieve tat i did tat...LOL.. but i think they'll forgive me...coz they might have made tat SAME mistake too... just tat i was the last one to have had to deal with tat situation. But oh well... i've sort of brushed it off my shoulders and moved on... but now i've to make sure i don't make the same mistake twice..

Oh!! if u haven't heard this by now... well my worst nightmares have reoccured again... the first of which is tat one of my uncle passed away due to....(*here it comes, no surprise i guess*) HEARTATTACK!!... it's just incredible how pple in my family drop dead like flies ard the same freakin time for the past 3 years and it's all coz of the same medical reason. And wait tat's just 1 of my nightmare... the 2nd one was when i was rushed to the A&E (last thursday) due to severe food poisoning, drug allergy and low BP.....and the stupid doctor thought i was bulimic or suffering from anorexia... i was like WHAT THE HELL!!?? i eat like a pig and u claim tat i'm anorexic... stupid idiot... nt all skinny pple are like tat ok... MORON!!

Well i think GOD OFFICIALLY hates me.....Sad but true...Holy Crap......

FaceBook Mania

2008-01-16T01:10:00.000+08:00

Yesh finally......Rena has decided after months of deliberation...and pestering.... i have signed up for FACEBOOK.... initally i was a lil overwhelmed but the whole layout of it and how to update and spice up ur profile.... But thank godness 4 my dear Jose who helped me out....

I had to succumb to the fact tat MOST of my buddies have facebook and pple rarely use Friendster anymore.... & i sort of know why... Facebook is a lil more interactive than Friendster...plus i love the SUPERPOKE application.... it's quite cool...... Hahah i had Shamini happily throwing sheep at me.... hilarious... anyway i think i'll get the hang of it all......

Time for me to go and disturb my brother....haven't seen him in ages... anyway if i haven't added ya'll in Facebook....pls go and FIND me..... pardon me coz i'm a freshie to this..... =)

HAPPY 2008!!!!

Best Rock Concert Ever!!!!!!

2007-11-14T15:48:00.000+08:00

As much as i hated all the pushing, the super uber long wait for the damn concert to start and having a TERRIBLE sore throat now..........it was all WORTH it!!!!!!! You must be wondering wat the hell am i talking abt...... well my dear frenz.........it's all the concert of the YEAR...... LINKIN PARK LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

13th Nov 2007.....was the day i had been looking forward to in such a long long time..... I had attended the concert with my brother and my other buddies too........ And boy i tell u... i've been to several concerts... but NONE... none has been this HARDCORE.... pple totally went CRAZY it.... they were a near instances of fights breaking out..... this the point tat even Mike Shinoda, one of the band members, had ask the crowd to make way for a poor gal who i think passed out and he even mentioned to the crowd to just have good clean fun..... Chester the lead vocalist even went on to say "Man you guys are freakin nuts... u almost ribbed my shirt and stole my jewels off me.... i might need to punch someone's face...." He said this right after he went into the crowd while singing"One Step Closer" if i recall accurately, plus he said tat coz tat poor fellow was with a matching red bandage due to an injury sustained from other concert (*you sld watch LPTV*)..... but it was a lil hilarious coz Mike went on the tease Chester by saying " Dude i might need to smack YOUR face.... or hands.... or u buttocks".... funny man these fellows.......

Well they sang a whole bunch of songs from all their various albums....but for me.... i was really only looking forward to went they sing "Bleed it out".... & went they finally did.... boy i went totally crazy... jumping up & like lunatic..... LOL.....

All in all it was FREAKIN AWWWSOME rock concert..... I'll try to upload the vids and the pics i took....but it'll take some time.... all thanks to my work..... So look for it......!!!!!

HAPPY HAPPY

2007-11-08T07:23:00.000+08:00

Happy Deepavali

To all those celebrating & even those nt... LOL...

FeStiVe SeAsOn

2007-10-29T22:24:00.000+08:00

It's yet that time of the year again when its the various festive season... and everyone is getting ALL hyped up abt it.... Well i hate to be a wet blanket.... but i'm SOOOO bloody hell NOT in the mood to celebrate Deepavali at all man.....

Being a clean freak tat i am....it's driving me CRAZY with a capital "C" that i've not done a form of spring cleaning in neither my room or for the matter my whole house.... ARGH!!! work is really takin a huge CHUNK out of my life man.... Seriously man... something is soo VERY wrong with me this year..... i really have ZERO mood to shop for clothes, decorations and blah blah..... I think the ONLY i have the mood is to EAT and SLEEP... LOL..... oh no wait!! i did have the mood to do something.... BAKING!!!!!!! yesh i think that's the only thing i totally enjoy doin no matter how freakin tired i am....

Talking abt baking...tat reminds tat i need to get all my receipe book b4 my mum starts nagging and get ready to start baking my pineapple tarts.......i know this is a relatively short entry but pls bare with me.... i actually have alot of pics to upload.... life has been pretty INTERESTING at work...with too much partying and booze..... (*don't worry ya'll.........i've NOT changed one bit.....i'm still the same ol' good girl rena... lol*)

Okie gtg....Adios!!!!!!! my tarts are waiting to baked....hahha

I ThiNk I'm OkiE...

2007-10-02T20:43:00.000+08:00

Better you must be wondering why on god's GREEN earth wld i be having such an heading right?? Well tat explains and answers the most asked question from none other then ALL you guys.... i.e "Rena how's work?? You ok or not?"....... There's the answer.... HA!!

But seriously i think i'm doin A. Ok.... i mean nt EVERY thing is smooth sailing... but i'm trying my very best to catch up with all the GA-Zillion stuff i need to remember and learn.... Sure ain't easy......However two nights ago.... i came home crying.... coz i felt sooo freakin STUPID.... sometimes i'm nt sure if the pple ard me are tryin to bring me down or they are just tryin to push me to learn things super uber fast...... NEVER have i ever felt sooo stupid while workin or even during schoolin days.............

I mean i wld like to think i'm a smart and capable person.... but working in the line tat i'm in...and most particularly in the organization tat i'm working for...damn it's TOUGH.....!! I used to be and still probably am the type of person who like to know everything and learnt things as fast as possible....but somehow i doubt pple at work think tat of me.... Infact i can bet with u till my last penny tat almost all my seniors think i'm a very slow person..... Haiz.... sooo upsetting..... I'm NOT a DUMB ASS okie..........

On the other hand.....i do like the pple i work with... though on certain instances u'll get to see the "true" colours of an individual... if ya know what i mean.....Sometimes my managers are soo bloody funny...i'll laugh till i cry man..... they're hilarious..... the same goes for my fellow colleagues..... it's basically a LOVE/HATE relationships..... some days are good and some days you really wish u can strangle the freakin guest.... sorry i know tat sounds a lil extreme but seriously.... some pple are real PAIN IN THE ASS i tell you....

Well nonetheless Rena is doin ok....and still surviving.....And i apologise profusly for nt being able to chat up or meet some of you.... I hope you guys understand...........

Aite....Missy Rena's outta here..........Cheers!!

TimE FLies.....

2007-09-18T18:06:00.000+08:00

It's been exactly TWO MONTHS & 1 day since i started my new job and boy i tell you.... i really don't know how i'm doing wat i'm doin....... i put my body through sooo much.... it's startin to slowly break down.... bit by bit tat is.....

Well technically i'm suppose to be slogging at work right abt now.... but i bet it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out tat i aint't at work.... (*Like DUH!!*)... for the past two days i've been freakin abt two things.... one invovles my physical health and well the other.... lets just say i'll leave for another bitching session on my blog aite...(*winks*)...

You see i'm havin my period.... like a again!! You might think.... like hello rena?!! are you out of ur mind.... u're a girl....it sld be a norm for ya.... right?? well u're and WRONG..... Norm is when your freakin period comes once every month... but no.....for rena, recently she's been have it once every 1 week!!! how crazy is tat huh?? you tell me??!! ladies i bet u know how it is when u have an irregular period.... i mean even a normal period can literally make some of us go KUKU.... so tell me how am i suppose to handle this and react..... i've never once had a irregular period... and from tat to this.... come on....any normal human being will freak out.....

I'm having CRAZY mood swings..... eating sooo much of CUPCAKES and donuts....and i'm craving for chocolates every now and then (*ya'll know i don't fancy chocolate*) . And through all those crazy-ness.....can u imagine having a terrible period with super heavy flow and ur job requires you to stand through it all... NOT GOOD!!

Well.... tat pretty much rounds up my past three days or so.....and i'm back to work tmrw..... Oh god save me pls.......!!!!!! have some mercy on me.....

There's a BRIGHT side to certain things.....

2007-08-24T19:15:00.000+08:00

Working 6 days a week......, wearing makeup and standing for more than 8 hrs on heels sure ain't a piece of cake at ALL.....!!!!!!! It's been a crazy month since i started work. It's really a real MAD CAP world out there. I was indeed living in a blissful bubble (*whether or nt i wanna admit it*) and now that my parents have bursted it for me and threw me OUT THERE into the lion's den.... i'm scared stiff ya'll......

Big girls don't cry.... or so Fergie sings a songs abt it.... but ya know wat... though i'm a grown ASS girl... sometimes u just can't fight the tears no more & you'll most definitely wanna burst into tears when u reach a certain boiling point. That's how i feel sometimes at work.... It's tough....& like my dad says it...in the first place who ever said life's goin to be easy anyway.... Well papi.... u're soo freakin right. I've got to say tat i'm learning the ropes of being a tough chick and facing challenges head on. Moreover working in the line of work i am in right now... boy!! i tell u.... u really need to have a super uber bloody thick skin or else you'll wanna run out the front door of the hotel in a heartbeat.... yesh pple.... it's a BITCHY world out there these days... or sld i say it's a much Bitchy-er world there then b4.... LOL

However.... for every couple of bad things tat happens.... somewhere along the way...God decides to cheer me. Like there are times at work where i get to enjoy the perks of being in the front line. Like the one time when i got on the Guest list of Sugar Ray and they invited us for SINGFEST.... man i tell u!! even those we aren't Sugar Ray fans will instantly fall in LOVE with all of em la.... esp Mark Mcgrath... coz he's just soooooo damn charming......ahhhh...They might be hardcore ROCKERS.. but they are all soo down to earth and very friendly... Plus i even got a chance to meet Cyndi Lauper and Shaggy!!! The one band that had their damn nose literally way up in the air was GYM CLASS HEROS.......

Ok enough talking.... let me upload some pics aite.........so here it goes............

Tat's Cyndi Lauper with a big ass hat and jet black wig.... the usual crazy-ness tat she brings to all her performances....

2007-08-24T19:14:00.000+08:00

There she is again... singing her heart out.......

2007-08-24T19:13:00.000+08:00

The highlight of her performance was when she sang "True Colours"... Man might be old... but she still can belt her heart out... Loved it!!

2007-08-24T19:12:00.000+08:00

Here's Shaggy (*Mr Lover..lover..LOL*) performing with Cyndi Lauper..

2007-08-24T19:11:00.000+08:00

It's been a lil too long since i've spoken to ALOT of friends and i know i've neither updated my blog posts.... Yesh!! i'm very aware of that...but pretty please with sugar on top, i've been soo FREAKING busy with work that i barely have time to even call some of ya'll..........

If you haven't heard by now...yuppers... Ms Rena found another job in the hotel line. It's yet another one of my so-called dream job that've always wanted to venture into.... But trust me ya'll....... it's been one hell of a rollercoaster ride man!! It's a freakin DOG EAT DOG world out there....... and i realise that i've to fine tune my attitude accordingly.... which ain't quite a good thing though.....

I recall my darlin Deb sayin tat i've changed alot lately and i felt really scared when she said tat... coz i don't wanna lose the essence of the REAL me.... you guys all know how i behave and the mannerisms that has been nurtured in me... but i do fear that somehow i will turn into someone that i'm NOT.... it's really really scaring the living the DAYLIGHTs out of me....

But nonetheless.... the good thing is that i'll have YOU... my beloved friends... who will surely knock me in the head if i ever do anything stupid.... at least i'll have you guys to look out 4 me.... THANK GOD for all of you man.......

Aite gotta go............ my feet is terribly swollen and i've soo many freakin medications to take.... Wat a bummer..........

Updates right up.....

2007-07-15T20:31:00.000+08:00

Yeah yeah.... my blogging pattern ain't like wat it used to be... but hey! i am a relatively busy young lady... ya can't blame me for that right.... Anyway the past week as been a strange and emotional one for me.....

Let me start with the good stuff tat happened.... Ummmm... firstly wld be tat i went to watch the NDP'07....it was pretty good stuff...except for the fact that since it was only the rehearsals not all of the actual performers were there..... but i gotta thank Deb and Haddad for bringing me along and givin me the tix.... thanks ya'll.....

Following tat.... on monday i went out with some good ol' buddies of mine. I met up with Suha, Sheila, Kamini S, Saj and Shamini... all of whom looked gorgeous!!! It's always nice to know that no matter how long u haven't met each or how far away u are...you'll still have those friends who will genuinely care for you... I had a splendid evening with the gals.... (*thanks gals!!*)... and just as always...everytime something positive happens.... something or someone has to totally spoil it for me.....

I don't think i sld mention names...neither should that person feel as though i'm slamming him/her...unless they are guilty plus coz i'm NOT like that.... i just need to vent my disappointment in myself for allowing that incident to have occured. Pple have told me since day one to watch out for a certain few conniving pple that i've been getting too close to. But did i listen.... NO!!! I've to be Little All-so-Nice and be friends with these pple.... but then wat happens to Ms Rena..... these "friends" of mine....whom i really genuinely cared for, has to totally SCREW me over and talk smack abt me. Add to that, some has even used very harsh words and expected me to be like a dumb blonde and NOT talk back..... I mean seriously.... who on GOD'S GREEN EARTH are you to talk to me this way..... u are my FRIEND!!!.... Friends simply DON'T talk to each other this way.... it's just a basic NO-NO..... wat did i do you pple to deserve this huh?? Tell me?!!.... I didn't do anything that's detrimental to your oh-so-precious life right.... so why snap at me like tat??

I just don't deserve any of this childish behaviour...... you pple are GROWN-ASS human beings.... so start acting like one aite.... and go pick on someone else to bully lah..... it's like even if i apologise (*esp when it's nt even my bloody fault*)... you come say, "oh no use lah".... like what the BLOODY HELL!!??? Fine... like my close girlfrenz told me.... time for the nice RENA to be tossed aside and bring out the inner BITCH in me.... if tat's wat YOU freakin jerks want.... FINE!!! You are ALL just asking for trouble..... I don't need you losers in my life.... i've soooo many TRUE friends who are REALLY there for me....& they have better MANNERS than you RUDE pple.... So time for ya'll to pick on someone else.... i'm DONE with the SHIT-ASS attitude.

And one impt thing tat i wanna bring across to all my FRIENDS & soon-to-become FOES.... Always remember when talking to someone.... TALK TO PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT PPLE TO TALK YOU..... it's a plain & simple thing to remember.....

(*Rena turns off the angry mode & focuses on better things in life*)

Transformers is totally worth every single penny to go and watch it in the cinemas ya'll.... i'm serious pple... I mean those die-hard fans aside (*pple like my bro & i*) ... u sld at least watch it for the sake of the MIND-BLOWING visual effects that has been done for this film... it's A.M.A.Z.I.N.G..... I can bet with u to my last dollar that this IS the NEXT GENERATION of movies.... i was like super uber mesmerized by how immaculately the visual effects were...esp when they were able to create the part when the cars/truck/helicopter etc...transformed into the robots.... it's like WOW-WY...WOW...WOW....hahah....plus I got goosebumps while watching the movie... esp when they transform & there's like this sound effect the robots do... & oh! did u know tat they managed to get THE actual fellow tat did the voice over in the cartoons for the character Optimus Prime to do it for this movie too.... now how COOL is that huh?!!!

Catching Up

2007-06-07T00:42:00.000+08:00

Well let's just say i had a really darn good reason for not bloggin recently. For starters, last week was just a MAD CAP drama filled week ya'll............& I'll just leave it at that... or else i'll be on the other end of the firing squad....i'll be the one that will get SHOT at.... nt the one shooting it... LOL

Anyway.... today i went for the GALA PREMIER for the movie OCEAN'S 13.... and damn it was surprisingly GOOD... I really thought it'll be a flop like Ocean's 12, in which i almost fell asleep watchin it....soo disappointing.... But this time around i was WIDE awake.... I just love the entire ensemble of the cast.... and not forgetting the storyline is much better....as good as the first one.

My favourite character this time ard.... I'll have to say it'll be Matt Damon's character Linus Caldwell... & Virgil and Turk Malloy played by Casey Affleck & Scott Cann who were quite funny..... Of course not forgetting the ever-so-charming Danny Ocean played George Clooney (*i think he's good lookin 4 his age*) ...& Brad Pitt as Rusty Ryan did a fine job in making every1 crack up with their subtle yet quirky sense of humor...... All in all i'll give TWO THUMBS up for this movie....

Plus if you need somemore convincing..............Andy Garcia & Al Pacino are acting too!! Now come on... don't tell me u don't enjoy watchin these fellows in the BIG screen... they're great actors.... And if you're STILL not convinced... just watch the trailer below........

Ok... i'm outta here... Ciao my love.........

It's been awhile...i know.....

2007-05-26T00:50:00.000+08:00

I'm sooo freakin sorry for the fact that i've not been updating my blog at all. It's just that I've been really busy... (*as usual....yeah...yeah*) with a bunch of stuff.

I've got quite alot of stuff to say...but for now...well only those dear to me knows wat exactly is goin on in my life....& i've been told specifically NOT to be such an OPEN book and also to NOT give a certain someone the ammunition to shoot me and bring me down...so since the person tat adviced me tat is super uber close to me.... i shall heed that person's advice...coz it's sure as hell for my own good.....

Now back to what i wanted to blog abt for today. For starters...i've COMPLETELY lost my VOICE!!! Now when i talk....sound ain't the thing tat's comin out...more like only air tat's comin out of my mouth..... HA...HA ....i know ya'll ALL havin a good laugh...esp my brother.... but it totally sux man & scary too.......... it's all because of one freakin rainbow donut that i ate two days ago.... wat a bummer......... i just recover a week ago from a really terrible sore throat,fever,flu, cough...ya know tat whole nine yard.... so yeah....i thought on tuesday night i was fit as a fiddle...then come thursday morning when i woke i realized that my neck was a lil swollen (*bad sign for me coz tat wld mean i'm havin a sore throat*)...and when i got a call from my mum...i croaked like a frog!!!

Actually come to think of it....i think i sounded like DONKEY from Sherk!!! I'm serious...i could have given Eddie Murphy a run for him $$ man..... and the worst part of this all is that later today...it's my cousin brother's wedding reception!! I hate this feelin so being sick..... gosh...i can't eat all the GOOD food......LOL....

Ok i think i better move my ass outta here...feelin drowsy coz i took soo many medications...but oh!! one last thing...JORDIN SPARKS won American Idol!!! (*ok i can see deb & the rest rollin their eyes...yesh i do watch tat show gals*) It was quite a close fight...but i'm glad she won..... i've uploaded a clip of one of the songs that she performed on the show....durin the earlier rounds tat is.... it really shows how AMAZING of a singer she is..... and everytime she sings this song...it really gives me goosebumps coz it's DAMN good (*mind u pple...she's only 17 yrs old*) .... it's an old song previously sung by Shirley Bassey......It's called I who have nothing....

MeSs... JuSt a Mess

2007-05-15T00:45:00.000+08:00

As my blog title goes...tat's wat my life has become... Just a complete MESS!!!!! I swear by the end of this post...i'll be crying buckets loads man.... I mean i'm soo NOT the type tat wld pity myself of anything....but by the looks of how my life is heading... it's just sooo F#@* up man....

Why...just WHY is tat EVERY single damn time i find myself comfortable or settling into something.... things just turn the whole way around and bites me right in my ASS!! I mean come on man....Cut me some slack please... For godness sake.......... how much more can i take.... seriously.......

I am drowing myself these days in self loath......at times snapping at my parents and even at my friends.... tat's soooooooooooo NOT me..... I don't know wat to do anymore.... i really need help.... I can't live my life hating myself... it sure ain't goin to do me any good....

I need a MIRACLE........some kind of POSITIVE thing needs to happen man.....

I never had the courage to tell my parents or my brother this....but the past month or so i've been having really terrible nightmares..... alot of horrible flashbacks....like both my uncles' death... the two operations i had....and time i went for all my therapy sessions.... ya know...all those bad stuff tat happened to me.... it's really coming back to HAUNT me..... and i have NO to talk to abt it coz NO one will understand me.... i think some of you are already judging me now....

U must be thinkin wat a WACK JOB i am.......... well be my guest.....say watever u wanna say and make ur peace................. if seeing me miserable makes ur day better.... go ahead..... Rejoice!!

Ya know wat.... i'm just doing to end it here.... as it is i'm darn sick now and my leg is KILLING me again......... I really don't know whats goin to become of me..... tsk...tsk....tsk..... i just hope i won't end up six feet under too soon.....

LoST tOuCH WiTh A GoOd ReST....

2007-04-29T19:31:00.000+08:00

Well if u haven't heard it through the grapevine by now..... just let me tell ya that I've been HIRED!! Oh yesh...Missy Rena is now been thrown into the LION'S DEN..... or rather the REAL WORLD.....whahahh

Anyway i just wanted to Thank ALL my close frenz....pple like Yixin, Deb, Cheryl, Sze Yee & the rest (ya'll know who u are)..... Coz u guys were with me almost everystep for the way.... I truly appreciate ya LOVE, CONCERN & MORAL SUPPORT.....

Though this might not necessarily be the actual current field of job that i wanted to get into...it's still alone the line of ONE of the two dream jobs i wanted to venture into.

I'm hired as a SPORTS & OPERATIONS DEVELOPMENT Executive (SODE) in a company called ESPZEN & BBAXN. Ain't sure if the boys have heard of it b4....but apparently any avid football or basketball teams/players in S'pore ought to know this company. Honestly speaking I've NEVER even heard of this company till I sign up for this job... but it's kindda cool though....

Ya'll know how much i LOVE events management and this job does involve that aspect of it. Basically it's a company that organizes amateur football & basketball leagues all around Singapore. I've to be a team manager for certain teams tat don't have their own managers. That's just tip of the iceberg of the job scope tat i've just told ya'll....there's WAYYYY much more tat i'm required to do.....

I really wish i can tell u all tat i've experienced on just the first week but just let me give u a brief idea as to how much i had to literally work my ASS off just on the freakin first week itself.... brace urself peeps:-

Monday----- Went to work at 9am....and learnt the ropes of the current SODE, Karyn whom i'll be replacing... Learnt wayyy too much for the 1st day alone. Went back home @ 6 plus pm... work is suppose to be from 9am to 6pm.

Tuesday----- Went to work @ 9.30 am coz i realized the SODE's come in super late. (There's only Karyn and Shima who are the SODEs) Learnt more things and already had to use the knowledge of wat i learnt from the previous day. Hands-on training given. Attended the start of the Men's Basketball League. Witnessed one of the worst possible case of a brawl between referees and players. Mind u this is just the 1st match for the 1st time on my job & already i had to see such a horrible situation. Went home only @ 11pm.

Wednesday----- Did more hands on training with Karyn and had to speak to alot of team managers and players. Went home at ard 8pm plus.

Thursday-------- Followed Shima to the Singapore Sports Council with my director (*a british dude who talk a lil too fast man....can't understand his accent*) for a meeting. Went home ard 7.30pm

Friday----------- Did more and more stuff... Till i almost went KUKU...coz there's wayyy too much things to do. Attended a lunch meeting with my director, which was a rather stressful lunch. Finished work ard 8pm plus and the best part of the whole day was the fact tat i got to see MY GIRLS....!!!!!!! Gosh i'm almost abt to break into tears now...coz i can't even begin to tell u girls how FREAKIN happy i was to see u all..... I was tryin my best not to break down infront of any of u...coz i didn't want to spoil the joy we had... THANKS DEB, YIXIN, SZE YEE & CHERYL... & oh Haddad and Gerald too!!!!!!!!

Saturday---------- Yesh i freakin work on Sat too... LOL... but it's ok lah..... Rushed down to ACS Barker with cheryl (*thanx for coming with me...hope u had fun*) to see the basketball matches. Karyn who was the team manager for a particular Basketball team had a lil sentimental goodbye as she was really close to all the fellows.... So she said her peace and intoduced me to the fellows... trust me ya'll i was soo freakin nervous...coz i didn't know if they'll like me or have a good first impression. Well they all welcomed me and some even came up to me personally and wished me the best....So guess tat was a good start...........

Well tat's abt all for now.... but hey.... do check these sites out : http://www.espzen.com/ and
http://www.bbaxn.com/ to get a better idea of what my company is all abt.... till my next post.... Ciao!!!!!!!
