HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR 2016


** Swipe the dust.. **

Hello all, have been a while never update my blog, hehe..
Erm, maybe is because of my laziness and business (not so busy bah..)


The year 2016 has been a great year for me and it is as wonderful as always.
Before the year ended, I would like to record down a few of the ‘highlights of the year’ as a counting of God’s blessings and to remind myself to be grateful always.

1.       JANUARY - I resigned from my second job in Singapore as a Course Administrator in one of the private education institution. I was blessed because before I gonna start my next job, I have given a long holiday of one month (being jobless) and return to my lovely hometown. Although in the past few months there are sadness in my job but I will still be grateful as it is a chance for me to learn to be strong in difficulties and I met a very good mentor – my direct reporting manager. He definitely practice a good skill of being a leader. Honestly, I enjoyed being jobless as I know after that I will be starting a new job.


2.       FEBRUARY - It’s one of my favourite month, the Chinese New Year. Of course, it is a reunion time for friends and family to gather together. I started a new job in Duck n Hippo as a Customer Service Officer. I think it might be a suitable job for me as I like to talk, Hehe. As a beginner in the industry and in the company, there are a lot of stuffs I will need to learn. Just remind myself, to be humble always.

3.       MARCH to MAY – Nothing much and nothing special happening in this period. Work and work and work everyday and waiting for my application of Permanent Residence in Singapore to be approved. Still the same, checking in the website almost everyday but still see “PENDING”. HAHA.. I know GOD will has his plan on me, just need to be patience and have faith in HIM. The right thing will come in the right time.

4.       JUNE – Dad paid me a short visit (2D1N) in Singapore as he was having his meeting with his partners and clients over here. Brought him for a nice dinner and of course, brought him on board our Hop On Hop Off bus for a short trip and showed him my workplace.

5.       JULY – It’s the month of my dad’s birthday thus I planned to give him a surprise by flying back to Ipoh to celebrate his birthday with him (just nice my off day is on that week). I coordinated this very well with my cousins and siblings and my parents were so surprise that I came back out of sudden as I told them I will only be back on the end of the month. I will never forget the response of my parents and especially my dad (indescribable).


6.       AUGUST – Thanks GOD! I was so so happy this month as my PR application is approved and I got my physical Singapore Blue NRIC after submitting my documents. I cannot forget the response when I saw from the online portal that my application is “APPROVED”, I cannot wait to tell my bf and my dad about this. THANKS GOD..!!


7.       SEPTEMBER – This is the month that marks our 7th year being together with my bf. Thank you all the caring and love to me and I hope our love will stay stronger and forever.


8.       OCTOBER – This is my excited month. Why? Because I am going to my favourite country – HONG KONG with my family and my bf. This time some of the experience during the trip is not so pleasant, in term of the people and some activities, but we still enjoyed the time being together very much. Thanks dad and bf for being one of the main sponsor for the trip. We look forward to our next family trip.

   9.       NOVEMBER – End of the year usually will be busy attending friend’s wedding. Sorry that because of my working schedule, I have missed some of my friend’s wedding dinner / party but in my deep heart, I really wish them a blissful marriage as getting married will be entering another stage of our life. But I still managed to attend one of my brother-in-christ’s wedding in Ipoh. I think I have met him since 10 years ago or maybe more. At the same time, I also can take the chance to go back for my family.

10.       DECEMBER – As usual, I think this is a favourite month of many people, because of CHRISTMAS & for those who like to shopping, it’s year-end sales (Seriously, it is so much sales and this is always a best time to shop for Christmas present and CNY stuff. Hahaha). No special celebration for Christmas for me and him, we just enjoyed having our time of being together (we went movie and eating). 

Before that year end, I would like to say sorry to those I have hurt and a big thank you to those who entered into my life: my parents, my siblings, my boyfriend, my cousins, my friends, my colleagues and etc. Every single moments of you all have made my life incredible and wonderful. Tears, Laughters, Difficulties, Problems that came to us, I believe they have made us grow and become stronger.



Wishing that the coming new year, everything will continue to be wonderful and become of blessings for all of us!

♥ ♥ ♥ DAYS full of LOVE ♥ ♥ ♥

As mentioned in my previous post, I changed to a new job "Customer Service Officer"..
My workplace is at the Singapore Visitor Centre, Orchard Singapore..
Thus, my daily task is to introduce the attractions in Singapore (ie: Hop On & Hop Off Sightseeing Buses, USS, Chinatown, Sentosa, Gardens by the Bay......etc) and the package available for cost-saving. Basically is all about the tourism thingy in Singapore by helping tourist to get more info during their stay in Singapore and make their trip smoothly.

One thing good about this job is that I get to know more information about Attraction in Singapore (which I like it very much) and also get to practise my English by speaking to guests from different countries.

Since I started this job (as my working hours is based on my roasted shift), sometime I worked till 9.30pm and reached home around 10.30pm, and seldom off during weekends, thus I have lesser time to spend with my dear. But he is very caring and understanding that we need to bear with it as this is a opportunity. We both believe sooner or later our life will be getting better and better. So now we just work hard and work smart for what we want. Thank you dear for all your great support and love. Love you always!  ♥ 

Nevertheless, my family also a great support to me as always. My dad afraid that I might not used to working in shift hours, thus, he always give me a lot of encouragement and support where it makes me to be stronger and tougher when facing a life is not in our perfect planning. Dad & Mum, I am a big girl now and I could take good care of myself, so no need to worry so much on me (which I don't think parents will do.. Hehe~). Looking forward to see you all in March and May. Miss you alot!!

Thanks GOD for being with me always and comfort me when I am weak. You are my strength and I will have faith in YOU always as I believe You will have great plan for me.

PS: Today is a Saturday but I am still working. One good thing is that I don't have MONDAY BLUE anymore..!! HAHAHA :D


*** EVERYONE, ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND..!!! ***

Long time no see !!!

"sweep the dust from the cover"

Hello~ I'm back after such a long time..
The last post was in October 2014.. OMG~ Such a long time I have never update my blog..

Anyway, just a quick update on my current status..

As you know, I used to work in an event company which is my first job in Singapore..
I left the company in June 2015 and joined an International Institute to work as a Programme Administrator which basically managing administrative work in the school and providing supports to students. 
Why? Just because I feel that the working hours for events job is too long and it is too tiring, but still events job is still my dream job. I might come back to the industry once everything is more stable.
And now, I means as of Mar 2016, I am working in DUCK & HIPPO as customer service officer.
As you can see from the wording, DUCK & HIPPO, it sounds fun.
Yes it is. I am enjoying my work now which introduce tourists to different attractions in Singapore.
So, this is the current ME..

Brief look back for year 2015 with some fun highlights:

Jan - My cousin's wedding at Kampar but I am not able to attend. She now had a lovely daughter.
Feb - My favourite month - One of the long waited event of the year, the Lunar New Year (where I can enjoy long holiday); Celebrated my 25th Birthday and Vaentine's Day.
Mar - My friend, Esther and bf visiting me in Singapore and we went Universal Studio Singapore
Apr - Busiest month, having few events in a row - 7th Asian Maritime Law Conference & ISSA 2015
May - Day trip to Sentosa with my two 'brother' and Regine; Mum with Siblings and relatives came to Singapore for a 4D3N's holiday - Brought them to USS, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, Merlion Park and etc.
Jun -Left my first job, Senior Event Coordinator. T.T ; went for a 2D1N family trip in Penang and stayed at Four Season by Sheraton; Attended bf's sister wedding; Returned to Singapore and look for a new job..
Jul - My UTAR's classmate wedding dinner at KL and had a wonderful meet-up with my dearest classmates; Started new job in the International Institute after a short holiday during Hari Raya.
Aug - Our first overseas trip with my BF to Bangkok & enjoyed eating and shopping there.
Sep - Met a bunch of International Students from China. They are so fun and energetic; Went home for a short holiday during Singapore election's day and met the new IGBC worship team; Celebrated 5th Anniversary with my dear by having dinner at Bread Street Kitchen by Gordon Ramsey and watched a musical show at Mastercard Theatre @ MBS
Oct - Adventure Cove Waterpark with friends; Invited to attend a Private Event by Kate Spade for the Spring Preview
Nov - Help to prepare the wedding of my cousin and attended the event.So lovely~ Went USS with AMC girls.. Crazy bunch of girls..
Dec - Went USS twice before my Annual Pass is expired. Went home for Christmas and New Year Eve.. So blessed that I had a chance to celebrate these two big event with my family.. but unfortunately, unable to count down for new year with my BF.. sorry dear~

See..!! My days are fill with plans and happiness right..?? And I really gained some weight in 2015 but not that much.. My BF said I am looking a little bit fatter now.. HAHAHA ;D *evil smile*

How about year 2016? It's now already the 3th month of the year:

Jan - Left my second job as Programme Administrator and went back to Ipoh to help my mum for the preparation for Lunar New Year
Feb - My favourite month - Lunar New Year, Birthday & Valentine's Day.. *lovely* Started a new job after CNY.
Mar - Started to handle the counter alone.. GAMBATEH ohh..!!! and attend some necessary training.


That's all.. Huhh.. Never expect I can talk so much.. Haha..
Anyway, in a new year, my wish is to make myself grow Spiritually and Mentally.. May GOD continue to lead me in HIS way, continue to grant the people around me with lots of blessings and happiness.


TO MY BELOVED DAD & MUM,
I am already now a big girl and hope that you both really don't need to worry about me anymore. I know what I wan and I will try my best to achieve as much as I can to make you be proud of me. I will make you both to have a better life soon. Take care and Love you always..

TO MY BELOVED BOYFRIEND,
Thank you for all the support and love given to me especially when I am in Singapore. Let's work hard together to get a better future for ourselves. I hope that we could continue to be the support for each other to grow in our daily life. Love you always..

TO MY BELOVED SIBLINGS,
All of you are big boy and big girl now.. Started to work, study tertiary.. Remember to take good care of yourself wherever you are and not to make dad and mum worry.. Think twice before making any decision.. The family are there for you anytime you need.. Love you always..

十月·2014年即将结束

时光飞逝,转眼间又是十月了。
回想起去年的这个时候,苹果才刚开始要到狮城找工作,
不知不觉的,差不多一年就这样过去了。

这一年里,学习了很多东西:独立、坚强、刻苦耐劳、谦虚等等。
更重要的是,累积了许多对将来有用的经验。
也许也是时候计划即将要走的路,为自己好好打算。

这一年里,苹果负责/参与了许多活动,其中包括:

希望苹果在接着下来的日子,会有更好的成就,可以茁壮地成长。

** 谢谢所有在苹果身边疼爱、支持及照顾苹果的人。
