I Am Lynn Chong

Dear Alex and James (and if there are others), What happened was, I had a wart (which was just this piece of rounded pop-up flesh) on my leg. The wart (which i didn't know what then) was on my leg for the past at least 6months I think. My mummy was very bothered and constantly ask me to see a doctor. I think we heard many stories about how little lump was cancerous. But me thinking that if it is not going to kill me, I might as well leave it there. I rather have an ugly spot then having to go through the pain of removing it. But few days ago, somehow the wart got infected and swollen and causes pain, itch and red patches all around the wart. So I had no choice but to see a doctor. And then we go through the whole ordeal of checking and needle pricking. Now I am to be on antibiotics, wait for the swell and infection to heal, then go back and remove the wart. So this is a very long account of what happened. Everything happened in a swift and surprising motion that I din get to tell...

I'm on a two weeks strictly no seafood, no sand, no nothing lifestyle. Review in two weeks time. For once, i seriously consider finishing all the antibiotics ( that would be a first) if it could save me from all the needles and pricking and laser and the whole ordeal, anything to spare me from going under the knife. Though Mr Doctor says 2 weeks later is to have it remove, i am hoping for some miracle. Well it's no big deal if I can overcome it psychologically. Guess I enjoy my mc first. Though, I do not dare to let myself slack too much cause returning to work will be extrememly hard. Our friend thinks that I am not coping too well with the corporate world. I guess so. But I'm keeping my head high still. Cheering myself with lunch with vin. henry/ james, better still both, hurry come.

Love is when Cha packed my bag, Dorc looked for my missing plastic bag and Clare packing my dinner, all so that i can eat soon. Love is when Vin forgives me when i make a mistake and James bringing me for good food. Love is when Henry asked me about my job and genuinely listen. Love is when You Sheng read my blog and find out about my life. Love is when Colin listens and laugh at my joke. Love is when Winnie trust me enough to tell me things. Love is when Ling ru and Jing wen treat me like their big sister. Love is when Randy promptly reply to my messages such that i dun fret. Love is when Daniel patiently explains even when i angrily accuse him. Love is when Desmond turns up and tries even if it's difficult. Love is when Weijian accepts me for who I am. Love is when Keith calls me up and tell me about his problems. Love is when Adrian travels to Bt Panjang to eat even if it means inconvenience for him. Love is when Jack send me home wee hours in the morning in cab a...

Today I went to work, eat lunch and went home in the evening together with Vin! haha! But i guess probably today is the only day we will be able to do this. While Vin happily walks out of his office at 530, i crawl,hide,sneak out. Yes while my official knock off time is 530, the unspoken rule is earliset 7pm. So working at CBD is not glamorous as some may think. The 2 hour long lunch, the afternoon gym/manicure session does not happen as often, well at least here in C. I heard from James that Lion C. does. Out of my four days there, yesterday was the only day I had a slightly longer lunch at coffee club. And yes while everyone dress smartly to work, it only means more time needed to think each night on what to wear. And I seriously hate it that there's no dress down for friday! Considering the high transport cost, money needed for clothes, expensive lunch (today me and vin had a plate of rice for 6bucks. A plate not 2plates.) and more importantly the 12hours working hours... which...

Just a quick quick update before going to bed! WeiJian says I behave like a little girl going on her first day to Nursery. Yes, my "unknown depression" still strikes, i still think a lot about running back to the comfort of my home. I still got the urge to turn back once i reach cck. But this time, i gotta battle it victoriously, ya Clare?:) Thank you everyone who remembered and tried to cheer me on:) The many sweet drinks,cup noodles and chocolate in the pantry, knowing that vin is just across the street and dorc a few stops away comforts me a little:) Hopefully come next month, henry will too join the raffles place gang, normal working hours please:)

Do people nowadays still dream of working in Shenton Way? Do people still aspire to strive out in the corporate world? Come Monday, i'll be on a 6months contract with the bank at Church Street. When i first graduated, I did day-dream about working at this particular bank. Mainly because they were one of the best employers. Bank Officer, the official position. But really, I'll be with Risk Management, Informations Security. Don't ask me for details. I don't know. I am to be trained. I am a little apprehensive. I am a Sociology major. Yet I am not too overwhelm. Nothing short of God's grace that brought me where I am. The same grace will see me through:) What's next? I don't know. We'll see. I am working on the 9th floor. Climbing to the 60th was never really my aspiration. I don't really have anything to lose when it all ends in October:) I thank God for all His providence. I was never put off to take Sociology no matter what others say about Arts a...

In one and a half hour time from now, I'm gonna sign my first bonded contract. Well my study loan and mobile contracts are of a different form, so it's not counted!. 6months. Not too long, but convert it to working hours, it can be. Its interesting of how the event turn out. Update when i'm back:)

An Liang's Breakfast Meizai's Snack The Financial Consultant's Dinner WeiJian's Supper p/s Dorc, meizai's snack is potato! If thursday got chance, i make for u:)

" http://www.trulyaustralia.com/nature/sDolphSeaLion4day.htm Tell me the definition of camping again?

We stayed up late to put up this And woke up early to do this :)

Hello Kitty is everywhere:) All in all, it was a fruitful trip:)

The Streets Of Taiwan Rubbish bins are a rare sight in taipei (well, in comparison to our streets) but they are very clean. The streets are usually a mixture of very old buildings plus modern commodities like starbucks. And of course the more commercialized districts are full of signs of globalization. Many streets of taipei and things resembles Japan. Probably because Japan played a vital part in the industialization of taiwan. Transport Transport system of taipei is efficient and economical. Not to mention the people are very civic minded. Shuffling, snatching seats, occupying both sides of escalator are rare. Entertainment Entertainment industry is very established in taiwan. I spent a lot of my time there watching talk shows. Very knowlegeable hosts and celebrities makes the show highly entertaining. Night Markets Almost every area has a night market, with some more famous than the others. Food The famous Ah Zhong Mian Sian , the XXXL chicken chop are not bad. The rest of the st...

Xin Yi District This part of taipei fits a lot with my impression of New York. Dan Shui Our favourite place in taipei. We went thrice. Solely for the food:) Bei Tou The place famous for hot-springs. The bottom right picture shows a very nice public library:) Taiwan Aborigines Musuem Yan Ming San It reminds me of "this is Yang Ming, from channel newsasia reporting" Though for some odd reason, we kept saying guang ming san. Yup, here's where they have sakura too:) Simen Ding The Orchard Rd of Taipei

My long overdue account of my taipei 10days trip:) If you can read and speak Chinese, travelling around taipei is no challenge:) But spring was still a little too cold for Singaporeans like us who went and armed with only a jacket. It's a beautiful place, where the traditional are not replaced by the modern. Yet everything about it is clean, advance, environmentally friendly and culturally rich. Literacy rate is high, unemployment rate is low. Politically they are very active yet the streets feel very safe even late at night.

I don't know what other unemployed does but my umemployed life is quite predictable. Job hunting,resume sending; When i'm not out (which is like most of the time. e inertia to get out is too great) i'll be doing non-constructive stuff like Rolling in bed sleeping and more sleeping watching tv,crunchy-roll surf net and slightly more constructive stuff like ministry reading baking cooking washing If i were to put up pictures, they look about the same. There isn't much different between vanilla cookies and chocolate chip cookies,banana cupcakes and vanilla cupcakes. Not that i'm complaining. i'm pretty much a domesticated woman (to the surprise of some), haha! just that i dun have the luxury to do so. hee!:) Monday Wednesday most of the days...just like... him:)

lyn: eh, u know hoh.... henry: ya, keith,winnie,clare and randy told me already! :) It's fun but barney is dumb. Come back and stay put!

To timsum and ten years of friendship:)
