Listening to: Stik Wit U - Pussy Cat Dolls
Flower The Cat died tragically tis morning.. Flower, is a stray cat in my neighbourhood.. She is 10 years old.. She is still healthy..very healthy..strong, fierce and scared of mice!!!
Sadly, today..she died a tragic death.. She died in an unintentional accident.. My father, accidentally hit her while he was in da parking lot. He heard a loud screeching sound after a mewing sound...he came out frm his car, he saw a cat..lying motionless on da ground.. he picked it up to one side and called home.
My mum was shocked when she received da phone call. I overheard it and together, we rushed downstairs in panic and was hoping, Flower was alrite..
We were wrong!! As soon as we reached da destinated area where my dad was said to have put Flower there, she was breathless! She has died!! Blood had flew out frm her ears! My mum cried out, "Flower dah mati!" (Flower is dead!)
Tat was da first time, I saw my mum cried. My father chided at my mum. My mum didnt care. She kept on weeping as she wrapped Flower in her arms. I saw wat happened. Being emotional, I cried too. I couldnt control my tears frm flowing out of my eyes.. I had to cry.. My dad didnt c me cry - i made sure tat he didnt notice tat I was crying too.
I followed my mum to a plc where she buried Flower. We found a spade left temporary by da Bangladesh(i think he went to take a break) and my dad dig out da hole and we buried Flower in. We (My mum and I) was still crying.
She has died. Flower has died. Nothing I can do. It was an accident. It is Flower's fate to die tat way.
Peace to Flower. May she rest in peace. God loves her more than me, a cat lover.

Bloggers who used music MUST PAY?!!!
I read in THE NEW PAPER, "Bloggers may soon need to cough up at least S$1000 if they want to play copyrighted music on their websites."
Hmm, is my background (Cherish by AiOtsuka, a Japanese female singer) a copyrighted?? *thinking* If it is, gonna change one which isnt copyrighted.
Continued frm da NEW PAPER, "While no one has been sued yet, 'massive educational efforts' will be launched to get bloggers to sign up." *eyes drooling*
******************************************************************
Forget abt tat a while. Now a quick update abt my new work. Today is my 3rd day. So far so good. I repair all da torn pages of those old books very 'cantik', as wat my teacher said to me. *smilez* Yup, I am still a trainee and each of us r assigned to a trainer. My trainer has been working for NATIONAL ARCHIVES since 1968!!! Tat long huh? Tat was y she trained me speaking in malay. I dun mind. She is very organised, tidy, clean and neat lady.. watever she has trained me and when it was my turn to do da same thing she had trained me, she will always say, "bikin cantik cantik ok.." I obliged.
Readers.. it is true tat she has worked in National Archives since 1968.. Really! No joke! Tats wat I heard frm da rest. If ur knwledge of history is limited knwledge, read more abt da History of NATIONAL ARCHIVES.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Established by an act of parliament in 1968, the National Archives of Singapore (NAS) was first known as the National Archives and Records Centre (NARC). In 1979, with the addition of the Oral History Department, the National Archives was renamed the National Archives and Oral History Department. NAS is an institution under the National Heritage Board, which was instituted in 1993.
During the early years of operation, NAS was housed at several different locations BEFORE it found a permanent home at 1 Canning Rise, the former site of the Anglo-Chinese Primary School.

yesterday
I juz started my new job and it was kinda easy. Hehe.. Well, da seniors said tat newcomers must start wif da easiest first b4 tackling da hardest part.
As a Temporary Conservation Assistant, I have to be responsible for carrying out conservation processes on archival and library materials, as well as other private collections for its long-term preservation. I am required to carry out mechanical cleaning and treating insect infestations and mould growth, chemically treating degradations, repairing and binding of damaged archival and rare library materials. In addition, I have to assist in mounting of exhibitions and signcrafts and demonstrate conservation processes to visitors in the lab. It is also important to maintain general cleanliness and tidiness of both wet and dry-processing area.
Tat was wat I learnt yesterday. More briefing abt my job. The Archives Conservation Lab consists of dry unit and wet unit. Yesterday, I was stationed at dry unit doing da above job scope (in italics)
But for da first week, I will be train to do conservation processes on archival and library materials for long term preservation, repairing torn pages.
First day of work, I met new friends.. They approached me first. Hmm, mayb becoz I looked like their age but i'm not.
one of them: "So u r waiting for A level results?"
I shook my head.
Continue to ask: "den waiting for O levels results?"
Again, I shook my head.
Curious, asked: "Den."
I answered, "I am a Diploma holder graduate."
Another question: "How old r u?"
I replied: "I juz turned 22 last month."
Shock look on each of their faces. And one of them comment, "u dun look like ur age." Hah.. Heck care. Tons of pple had comment on da same issue too, so I dun take tat as a shock or compliment anymore. I look young, so wat?
Yahoo! I dun have to go for work today coz its HARI RAYA HAJI. Da supervisor said to me, "Tmr holiday. Wah..so gd, ur first day of work, tmr holiday already." We both laughed.

Yesterday (6th Jan) >> my last day at Kyocera. When each and every colleague of mine shake hands with me, I was sad. When da Managing Director wished me luck in my studies and advised me not to drop out, I felt guilty.. Guilty as da reason IS NOT TO PURSUE MY STUDIES FULL TIME but to look for a PERMANENT FULL TIME JOB so tat I can PAY MY OWN SCH FEES becoz I DUN WANT TO BURDEN MY MUM anymore.
It wasnt my fault.. Although da job in Kyocera is part time, at least I earned some money and able to pay my own sch fees but my mum kept pressurizing me.. I hate it when pple pressuriZe me and ended up tat I cant concentrate on my studies.. So, to make my mum SHUT UP, i had to do wat she says.. Working environment in Kyocera is cool, nice and I had begun to start a friendship with a few of them but now tat I had to leave...
I received a small gift frm one of them. Inside the box, is tis 
Gonna miss my desk. Here are some of da pics I took frm one of da company's hp and den send it to my email. *Mcm tak bersalah eh aku*
My work's laptop. Since I have transferred frm Sales & Marketing to Technical Dept and since they hadnt got my computer ready, I have to use da laptop temporary for 1 week.
1 week aft temporary using laptop, my working computer has arrived. 
When all my colleagues went for lunch, I took tis pic..
Goodbye, Kyocera. Gonna miss da plc.. No more testing da contents on da following phones: Nokia 6680, Samsung D500, MOT V300 and lots more (see da pics below) No more free ringtone wallpapers for my phone anymore.. If I wan, I'll have to b their customer now and download...its ok, I still show them my support. *smilez*

29 December 2005
Mr xxx,
I would like to tender my resignation as Part Time Administrator with effect from the above date, thus by giving 7 days notice, my effective last working day would be 6th January 2006.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for all the guidance during my employment in KCAP.
As much as I wish to stay in this company, I have decided after much discussion with my family that it would be best for me to give my full concentration to my studies during this time. I thank you for your appreciation for my effort and my work throughout my term of service. I also hope you will understand from my point of view that making this decision does not come easy.
Lastly, I hope that the company will not have any major disturbance without my presence. I do hope there is a possibility that we may work together again in future.
Sincerely,
Maria
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yup, I have resigned! Tmr (6th Jan) is my last day. On 9th January, I will b starting a new job (a totally whole new working environment/job scope - NO MORE OFFICE KINDA OF WORK; gonna miss sitting in front of computers.. *sad face* )
Where's da new working plc? Well, remember my Dec 22 entry? Yup >> NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF SINGAPORE. I got da job! A representative called me on Dec 27 and told me to start work on 3rd Jan.. however i informed to da representative tat i can only start aft giving 7 (seven) days of notice (as wat i had blog on tat day)
I was quite nervous when there was a silence. Da representative replied to me tat he had to check with his senior/superior abt tat and wld call me later. My heart was beating as fast as a shooting bullet. 5 mins later, I received a call frm da same number and da same representative. Da gd news: Start work on 9th January!! I was jumping with joy!
Although da job sounds and looks kinda tedious..but like wat my mum mentioned to me, a government job.... *eyes rolling* Oh well...
K, if u had read da above resignation letter, I am pretty sure all of u muz b surprised at y i express da letter tat way. Easy. My current - going to be ex(w.e.f 6 Jan 06)- colleagues and employers knw tat i am studying for my Bachelor's Degree. Hence, I am being too kind and lenient and not too harsh on them by expressing tat way. Heh. My mum was happy wif da resignation letter. Frm 27 Dec to morning of 29 Dec..she kept on repeating da same thing. Here is wat she says.
"Kau jgn tulis mcm tu. Kau tulis dan ckp depan mereka tu yg kau nak kerja yg full time permanent.. Kau ckp kau nak rasa juga duit bonus, annual leave, medical leave.. Kau jgn terlalu tulus dan jujur.. Org boleh pijak kepala kau. Dan bila kau ckp depan mereka, jgn suara yg alahai lembut nye.. kau kena ckp dgn tegas. Kau tulis balik surat berhenti kau."
Did I rewrite da resignation letter as wat she requested? Of course NOT.. da reason's still give my full concentration to my studies. My mum was furious when she read tat letter in da morning of Dec 29. She said, "Kau ni degil. Ikut kata kau. Kan mak suruh tulis lain. Apasal nak takut dgn mereka. Salah mereka la.. SATU TAHUN kau kerja di company mereka tapi tak permanent kan kau, asyik part-time. Dah bagus tu kau sabar menunggu dan menanggung (is tat da correct spelling? - sorry coz my malay really sucks!) tapi mereka pandang kau takde mata, masih ambil kau sebagai part time. "
Heck! I dun bother! So, 9th January, new job for me. Its gonna b tedious and hectic schedule for me hence, I wont b blogging much often. My new job area wont b an office environment at all..its gonna be in some kinda lab.. *shrugs* To Rashidah, I will update once a while on my new job, dun worry.. *smilez*
U knw, I felt guilty lying to my current - soon to be former - colleagues and employer. But i think wisely, since they knw tat i am studying part time, its best to tell them tat i am quitting becoz I want to concentrate on my studies (as in going back to study as a full time)
I really dun mean to lie. Since 29 Dec till today, they kept asking me, "So if once u've graduated, will u b coming back n join us?" and "U switched to full time studies?" etecetra.
Sigh..very guilty..

Happy New Year to all(hey its alrdy belated! look at da day..heck) I'm not gonna bother with da NEW YEAR resolution coz every year, i make da same one, i forget to accomplish it. Haha.. da resolution is: TO LOSE WEIGHT!! hey, I am NOT fat BUT my family members think so(i am only 53kg..my height is 1.6m >> tats an ACCEPTABLE WEIGHT but juz becoz i have big hips.. they consider me F.A.T!!) hence tats y i always make da same resolution n tend to forget to stop eating too much.. heck..
So goodbye 2005 & welcome 2006. I look forward to it becoz a new year to me is like a new beginning. Watever things tat I had done wrong, watever stuffs tat I had regrets with, I can just throw them aside & start my life all over again. haha.
I can say 2005 is not a bad year for me but neither it is a good year for me too. There were happy & wonderful moments tat I wld wanna keep them in my heart for as long as I can. There were also crestfallen moments tat I wld want to forget & erase frm my memories too.
I hope 2006 is a so much better year for u & I. I hope I can achieve something in all aspects of my life..
