Day 1 and day 2 Done!
Work is going alright! Day 1 and Day 2 done. Yeah!
While we were on the way to work, I told Mr D I've got butterflies in my tummy. I was so nervous and I couldn't believe that I was actually entering the workplace. It felt like a dream to me! I am no longer a student no more! No more student life. No more study break. No more exam. No more staying up late in the library. No more fooling around. No more holiday. It was unbelievable! This whole new transition feeling from a student to employee happened too fast I guess. I still can't believe that I am going to work everyday from Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm. This job better be interesting hey! LOL
I am facing lots of challenges and new tasks are coming up! Too much to learn as a newbie. I must learn fast!
I am not accountant savy, hell not! Therefore, I must say everything is totally new to me! At least at this stage, for the first few months, I must get myself familiar with all the accounts in the company. There are like, how many, 128343872 accounts for me to be familiar with. Expenses going out, sales income coming in, paying company bills, paying employee's salary, blablablablabla....everything has to be key in into my future best friend MYOB. Oh please be friendly with me, MYOB I am a good girl you know.
People, don't get me wrong, I din't apply for the accountant position, of course I did not, I have never learn accounting in my life before, why would I apply a job that I have no knowledge in. make sense?
My position is abit complicated. As not only I will be dealing with MYOB, I will also need to do design and marketing tasks, brand strategy and build up a business operating system for a new enterprise. So What am I ? I don't know. And yeah my "offer letter" is still on its way. Uh huh, So I actually went to work before I received the offer letter.
By the way, do you know how does it feel like having your boyfriend as your manager?
Let me tell ya, it feels wonderfully exciting! Not that I have the privilege to work less harder or I get to do less tasks, because my manager is my boyfriend, but it is the other way round, I have to work my ass off and be master in everything I do, because you know, they have really high expectation from me, definitely including the boss! Hmmph!
So missy sheaulei tan! you better learn fast I tell you!!! *jiayou* :D

My life as a 'maid'
So my last paper finished on Tuesday.(as most of you have already know) I felt so much relaxed and relieved. The relief was amazing! But then I was just too exhausted to get my butt out to celebrate. So I came home straight away after exam and very happy to find that Mr D has bought me a cheesecake for a little celebration. :))
Next day I woke up, I found myself cleaning the house and doing chores.
Here are the things I've done:
- Vacuumed my room - Cleaned the dust away from my study desk, cupboards, and blanket box
- mopped the floor (my room, bathroom, laudry room, kitchen, 2 living rooms, so yeah basically the whole house) - washed the bathroom and toilet - cleaned the mirror - did laundry
- cleaned maomao's house - hang all my clothes nicely into my built-in closet - clean the kitchen
So I basically spent the whole day at home, doing all these chores and I really enjoyed doing it. Oh, I am so auntie! But it feel so good to see the shines everywhere. Everything look as good as new and smell incredibly nice too!
Oh do I need a hot shower.
After I walked out from the shower, I realised what I really need is to indulge myself with the delicious read-bean + Barley soup I cooked early that morning. Yummmm*
What a life I've got! :D
Life is so wonderful, isn't it!
It is so clean everywhere! And the color is so gorgeous! So warm and beautiful!
I am so proud of myself! Being proud coz I can do a cleaning job well? :P
*love love love love love*
The cosiest place ever! Awww. How I love our new couch!!! *love love love love love* 
You can easily spot my bean bag, lamp and cushions here and they are sitting perfectly in this cosy area! :D
How can I not love this new set of home threatres system! 
I guess, these are the reaons why I am such a homey girl!
Love being a homey girl!!! lalalala!!

Something that takes my breath away. :))
Life is Wonderful by Jason Mraz
It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
(Chorus)
Life is wonderful
Life goes full circle
Life is wonderful…
It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn, brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished
(Chorus)
Life is wonderful
Life goes full circle
Life is wonderful…
And it is so…
It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain
(Chorus)
Life is wonderful
Life goes full circle
Life is wonderful
Life is meaningful
Life is wonderful…
It is so
And it is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful...

Finally. exam is all over! :D
HoOOooorayy!!
After all, I did SURVIVE! after being imprisoned at home/library for the past two weeks! Oh I can't believe I worked so hard! I even had notes all around my bathroom when I was taking shower. Well, I did try to relax but I failed and always ended up talking to myself and explaining all the terms and theories.
So what happened if I forgot to bring my notes along with me into shower, and I was urging and prompting to know, let's say,hmmmm... one of the definition of "Transformational leadership" and the differences between "Transactional and transformational" leaders. Okay then I found myself running out from the hot water and quickily grabbed my notes and stick it onto my bathroom window and then I would continue showering relaxingly.
Man, this conscientiousness almost drive me nuts! One thing that keep my mind balance between 'work' and 'play' is I sneak out for dinners / movies during my study breaks and it really help to freshen up my mind. This is what we called "Work-life balance" lolz.
And am truly glad it is all over! Yeah!
p/s: It is 8am in the morning and I should get back to sleep, why did I wake up so early!!?!?!

I love digging out photos from piles of messy-unorganized folders and often I would surprise myself.
I looked so tired and puzzled in the first picture. LOL. I guess I was having a long day at school earlier on.

The Tan's philosophy
It is interesting to be named as the 'loyal follower' of the Tan's philosophy. :))
I truly believe "There is a will, there is a way"
No matter how hard it is, no matter how impossible it is, there is always a way neutralize all these negative thoughts, and thus motivate oneself towards the goals.
"You must be strict to yourself, but be lenient to the others." The Tan's philosophy has been deeply rooted deep inside my mind. Right, pa? :)
I guess, be lenient to others can be further explaind by having the ability to identify or imagine other person's feelings. Whereas to be strict to ourselves refers to the ability to have self- awareness, self-regulation and able to manage own emotions.
To have good skills in self-monitoring and high emotional intelligence refers to having the ability to own personal control within oneself. I guess it is always about emotional control and how we evaluate judgments which leads us to our own affective feeling and how we intentionally match our behaviours into our daily tasking.
So, are we talking about self-efficacy here?
Oh life is never easy, but it is interesting. There is so much to learn.
...........................................................................................................................................
10: 34 am __Friday____._.._.___._____...._________.___--....----____._....................13.06.2008
I love you.
"because I know the bottom line is I luv you"
"just like how I understand you more than anybody else."
The sweetest of all. :))

The ride of your life!
Okay. before I continue to do revision for my last paper, I decided to take a break and indulge myself with stuff that I like to do. :))
So back to the Ocean Rafting ride in Whitsunday islands. It includes exploring Whitehaven beach (I reckon it should be named "White Heaven" it is really gorgeous), snorkelling pristine reefs and a short tropical island guided walk.
It was really adventurous on the ride. Something that I have never experienced before. :))
This exposure adventure allows us to visit two different snorkel destinations which we get to see the beautiful massive corals and fishes. I feel so tiny while I was inside the water and by looking at the endless corals, I started to fear a little bit. Haha I am such a chicken.
The feeling of drowning in the water definitely scared me off. I had a horror of having no energy and felt like I was about to drown. I know how to swim but you know when you are scared and what beneath you is a huge range of corals and unknown creatures. It is another different story.
Haha this is so embarassing!
Actually human body can float where density is lower than water.But when a person float, as little as 1% will be out of the water due to the different materials made up our body. But when I was so damn scared, I couldn't make sure that this 1% includes my nose and mouth.
So I urged danny to bring me a float for support.
Phew! What a relief then! With float, I could then swim freely and relaxingly and dive my head into the water to enjoy the under water view! :D
# 1. Okay Let's continue with a pretty jump!
# 2. And me taking a series of photo of him running around. More animated photo will be coming when I have time.
# 3. Wonderful lunch, wonderful weather.
# 4. Wonderful beach.Wonderful sky
# 5. Wonderful people! *muaks
# 6. :)
# 7. What was I thinking?
# 8. I was holding a hairpin and my hair was really messy due to the strong wind.
# 9. Finished lunch and we were ready to take off. Oh and one more thing I remembered, there is no public toilet around the beach and you know what we did when we really had to pee, we found a spot far from the main beach and yes, we did it there. We were told to do so by our tour guide. >< So embarassing!
# 10. Take one
# 11. It was weird why the color of the photo turned out this way.
# 12. I was trying to act cool, but I failed! LOL
# 13.:)
# 14.So loving!
# 15. Here starts our national park walk!
# 16.There are people around playing with the water.
# 17. I guess the sun was hiding, but still, it is very pretty!
# 18. me walking and talking.
# 19.So pretty lah! I never adjust the color of the photo you see. the ocean is naturally blue like this. So pretty!
# 20.National Park walk.
# 21.Okay I think this photo of the natural point of view is being modified. The color is so fake!
# 22. The Whitehaven Beach
# 23. Or is it the White Heaven Beach?
# 24. It is so heaven-like.
# 25. :D
# 26.What is the meaning of hiding behind the bush?
# 27.Never mind. I will still do whatever you ask me to.
# 28.Love love love love the ocean.
# 29.Whitsunday Islands National Park
# 30. The end of our national park walk.
# 31.Haha. He throwed his shirt into the water. Accidentally.
# 32. Inside the vessel. And the vessel is designed and built as rescue crafts and are rigid inflatable bots driven by 450 hp engines.
# 33. It was an adventurous experience! It's high speed adventure with Ocean Rafting can easily throw me out. I am serious! I was holding very very tight because there were a few moments that my bum was actually up away from my seat!
# 34.People who sat around the edge of the raft with their hand and feet tucked with rope for safety reason.
# 35.74 islands out of the blue.
# 36. The healthy glowing skin! Lucky I din't get sun burn like that!
# 37. After a long day out in the ocean
# 38. Yeah! It's dinner time!
# 39.:D
# 40. .....
# 41. The steak
# 42. Garden outside the apartment.

Causality.
Causality or causation denotes a necessary relationship between one event (cause) and another event (effect) which is the direct consequence (result) of the first. In other words, causality is the cause and effect of an outcome.
Cause and effect.
How many people do really understand the theory behind this?
How many people actually think before they act?
Now I've learnt another new chapter of life.
I went to a party the other night, and it was the most horrible night I've ever had.
"When these people are drunk out of their minds, did they really enjoy all these?" I thought.
They are just a bunch of pathetic and lonely people.
Drunk mind speaks a sober heart.
Are they trying to find a way or an excuse to have fun and show that they are not alone, in fact, they thought they are having fun with all these other people.
Deep down, they know they are empty.
This issue has been bugging me for awhile now. There are varying definitions of everything we do in this world. People see and do things differently. People whose minds are being controlled by alcohol would have them believe that this kind of close liking of anything at all is the manifestation of an addiction.
Here, I am not talking about having a glass of wine over a dinner. Also not talking about a bunch of friends drinking and relaxing.
It is about animal partying.
So the question is, are they begin to lose control of their own life?
I believe, they are many ways to cope with loneliness. Positive ones.
I read something like this before.
"Once you start waking up with more than just a hangover, and a sense of déjà-vu or emptiness- it could be time to ponder those profound questions:
1. How do you feel about your life so far?
2. Has it really been fun? Or have you been hoping for a little more fun or even a little more joy?
3. Have you wanted your life to take more shape and make more sense?
Okay. Make more sense, this is an interesting one.
Ask yourself, Is your life making sense? Are you a joke in your life?
I couldn't understand, and I will never understand what makes these people party like animals.
So sick, just so sick.
Come on! It is time to wake up and smell the coffee!
It is time to find other ways to be happy than partying. For God's sake!
Do you want to get wasted? Isn't there a 100000000000 other things you can do?
