Digusted, Deception & Despair.

First of all, my dear readers, please DO NOT be deceived by the ooh-so-nice-and-charming-and-gorgeous Korean males species. Unless they're renowned actors or singers. I had a (what I'd term) beastly experience with a group of them on the bus, on my way home. These young men, obviously has no manners and doesn't know what is common courtesy. Let me quote some examples:

1) There's no space in the bus anymore and I had to hold on to the railing for safety reasons. Boy A had to squeeze and intrude into whatever space my hand could hold on to, with his stupid flabby stomach. Hello, as if I am not disgusted by your face, I had to endure your flabby round thing.

2) If they do not communicate for a milisecond, they'd die and vanish into thin air. Hence, no matter how packed, they MUST talk and shout across to one another. When they're barely 50cm away.

3) If you had to move to the rear of the bus or further down the aisle, open you bloody mouth, say, "Excuse me." Simple, isn't it? Instead, they love pushing and stepping on yours truly's feet! You have to talk so desperately but you can't say that simple phrase. Irritating bastards.

4) So many dirty & disgusted glances were thrown in their direction, by me, who else?! And they still didn't get the meaning.

5) Knowing it's packed & for the convenience and safety of others, stop pushing around with your silly old-fashioned school bags. They're not LV, so obviously when your truly got hit by them, I'm not pleased. I wouldn't even know where you place them, you sick idiots.

Sheesh, there's only one phrase to sum it up: dirty, rude imbeciles.

I was in despair yesterday because I got the bad news from boss. No, she didn't throw a letter at me. Instead, she told me the FMCG account that I am working on has turned their backs on us and gone back to their former global agency. Huh?! After all the hard work I put in for a new product launch. After all the trouble of getting models & talents & co-ordinating? What the...

Initially, I was servicing four accounts. One has decided to drop us. Another is doing global realignment hence quiet. The third is using other agencies concurrently and the work we're doing seems lesser. The last is the main client of company, the retainer client. But, I've gotten so familiar that I'm able to juggle the deadlines well.

Hence, your truly now is shaking legs in office for the past 2 weeks. It's scary and I'm green with envy when I see my two other colleagues so busy. I can only sit at my workstation and clean up my files.

This is getting on my nerves!!

First.

Yesterday was the first (in something) for me. Didn't turn out the way I expected but hmm never mind. fy's words were soooooo encouraging that I kept laughing throughout whenever I think of her. Haha!!

Saturday is almost over and I'm just lazing at home with relaxing music playing in the background, a (good) book in my hands and of course, with the laptop in front of me. :)

I'm contented. At the same time, I'm also confused. Haha.

Feel The Love.

On medical leave today. Nose is badly congested, phlegm is building up and I've no energy left to even get up from bed till an hour ago. I'm touched by the care & concern that my friends show.

First it's colleagues who called me and passed the phone around. Of course, the initial intention was to ask me about some things at work but still, nice feeling.

Secondly, it's fy. I'm so so touched and feel blessed to have a friend like her. I always hear aunt sp has good girlfriends who will sacrifice their time and they're all very nice to her. I never thought I'd have such girlfriend till fy said she'd visit me me at my home tonight and buy me porridge. So touched. Yes, I know. That's what friends are for. I will always remember this line for the song with the same title was the one that made me teared uncontrollably when we were parting for our internships 2 years ago.

Thirdly, it's another friend. Thanks for the care & concern. :)

Client vs Boss.

Client : It's ok. Don't worry about the meeting tomorrow. Rest well.
Boss : HAR!? You're not coming tomorrow? Cannot la...
Client : Have a good rest, k. Don't push yourself too hard.
Boss : I hope you can make it for the meeting tomorrow morning.

For your general info, yours truly is down with a bad throat and flu. So bad is the throat that I cannot talk, I've to sms my clients, get them to talk to my designer(s) or MSN with them. My colleagues even said they thought they heard a male in the room when I attempted to talk. What the...

And your truly's boss is pushing me to hell by asking me to go to the meeting. Of course, there are more than what I typed in the above scenario. Like "I don't know if I can follow through and there might be things that I don't know and I need to ask you."

Hello, then why do you want us to cc you in ALL our emails? Then why do you want to tag along for new briefs with me whan you cannot follow through?

So easy for you to shit on us and we help you clean them, huh? With bosses like these, who needs enemies? Man...

Of course, to credit my kind client. With clients like that, I am so assured and feel deeply appreciated. Well, having said all that, I'd like to end off with "GOOD NIGHT!"

Time to hit the pillow. ;)

The Search Stops.

The Search stops for now. I feel that my quality of life is picking up. :) Yay! Friday evening was impromptu shopping and movie and after-movie-coffee-till-late-night with colleague py. Haha, we're known as the laughing gas(es) in office. Once we start, we can't stop. Both of us are the evilest of the evils and meanest of the meanies. :P Fun, fun, fun.

ah teo is keen on salsa classes too and we're in the midst of deciding. :) Swimming with that woman later in the evening. Too bad, she doesn't want the sun.

And something (good, I guess.) happened during my coffee time with py on Friday/ Saturday. It happened a tad faster than I thought it'd be.

I'm enjoying my life a lil' more now. Yay yay.

Time Of The Year.

Every year at this time, since 7 years ago, I'll crack my head what to get for your birthday-cum-Christmas-cum-New Year present. However, I realized I actually since 5 years ago, I need not think so hard coz you are no longer here.

Gotten over your departure. Don't worry. Hope you haven't forgotten that there's a friend like me who still remembers you, no matter where you are or whether you can hear or feel it.

The lil' joy that I am having now, I am sure you'd be equally excited as well. Take care, my friend.

*More updates on my happy Friday evening*

Bombastic?

I got a message from Friendster that reads:

"how to pronounce ur name. ur name beri boombastic, hi, nice to noe u, my real name is decocohotspicy cuttlefish."

No, I don't use my real name on Friendster. But I never thought that is bOOmbastic. The name you give is totally ... cuttlefish-y!

Sets me laughing.

SY Can Cook.

Look! Not only Yan can cook. SY can cook (too)! My pot of spaghetti. Mind you, we didn't use the Prego's ready-made sauce. We made the tomato sauce from scratch!! It's yummy I could just eat it on its own! Hee. Aunt sp hosted a spaghetti lunch on Saturday and I was involved. Wah, tedious. Got the ingredients on Friday night. Luckily Cold Storage at Holland V is 24 hours. We prepared till 3.30am. Ok, we started at about 12 midnight. Nevertheless, I've passed spaghetti test! :))

Life Lesson.

I've learnt to never live life with too much hope. The higher is your hope, the greater is your fall. And the fall is pain and disappointing.

The Search.

Sorry for the hiatus. Been searching for myself and my life. Tried to do some self-reflection but was lazy. Still am lazy. But still trying. -_- What the heck, what I just said didn't make much sense, isn't it?

Anyway, ah teo has asked me along for salsa dance class. Great! Finally! I have someone to share my interest with. Only problem now is to look for affordable lessons & find time.

The lazy me is finally (trying) to make more effort to move my fats away. Going swimming (later) and hopefully it's a good start to my healthy regime.

I am still a little lost. Sighs. This can be quite infuriating.
