It just struck me suddenly when I was having dinner with my bf. All my life I have been trying v hard to prove myself. I strive like there's no tomorrow in everything I do just to prove my worth and I do not deserve such treatment. I am getting jaded. I just want to do the things I like to do. I want to stop living the way people want me to live.

Working life is truly a monotonous cycle. It's been a busy 2 weeks at work, coming home at 10 plus 11 almost every night. The moment I reach home, I can feel my bed beckoning me towards it and off I go into wonderland. And my dreadful alarm clock has to snap me out of my beauty sleep every morning. Really painful! The toll of the late hours finally sapped into me on Friday where I started to send wrong emails. Beyond work, I have been rushing out my final internship report through the night. I need a break. 3 weeks more to go before I will be off to Korea! Though the long hours, I am glad that my colleagues have been really nice people. I feel more at ease with them than my previous team.

Life has not been exactly too eventful since I passed my 22nd birthday. It's been work, PI report, family commitments... One word- Monotonous

I have been faithfully reading the newspapers these couple of weeks. It pains me to read about the twin tragedy that hit Asia. Natural disasters are always merciless. They come when people least expect and throw people into a state of confusion and lost. Tears flood as people moan over the lost of their loved ones. Thousands of children become orphans overnight. I will never forget the tsunamis disaster that struck in 2004. When I learnt about tsunamis back in school, I least expected it to happen in our human life time. The world was awaken to this merciless storm that attacked the most impoverished parts of the world. Till today, the detriment of this storm continues to haunt thousands of people who are left homeless and lost.

But one positive thing always emerge in times of crisis. It is the undying human spirit. I am extremely touch by the case in Myanmar. The strong resistance by the government against foreign aid due to political reasons are putting its people in a dire state, but its people remain resilient.

Little that all of us can do for these people in China and Myanmar, let's just take a moment to pray for them.

Just when I thought my birthday mood has died down, my lovely WSC main commers decided to surprise me with a birthday cake after the meeting! Aww.. I was so touched. It's been a year with those lovelies and I have to say they've been great peers to me. I am still waiting for my friend to send my the group picture we took. Will upload it soon. Meeting my project mates tmr! Yipee!

I turn 22! Gosh! Happy birthday to me! It was a fun-filled birthday!

Met up with Nana and Ching on Labour Day to celebrate my bday. I heart the purple dress they bought for me! :)

On Saturday, met up with Xin Yi, Luana and Venetia at Paragon. Thankies for the 2 lovely handbags. I wont need to buy handbags for a long long time.

Steamboat at home was real fun! A simple meal at home is always the best.

And I spent my birthday at Terminal 3 with my bf! A nice place for a simple getaway from the busy shopping centres and streets.

A simple yet wonderful birthday I had. :)
