Christmas Eve.

The afternoon was special as I got into a (little) trouble with him. A joke, carried too far. :P Everything was alright and carried on as planned.

Dinner was special this year. We went to VivoCity and decided on Marche. Queue wasn't too bad (at our time) and it got longer as time passes by. It was fabulous and worth the monies and wait. Lots of pics taken as well. I was complaining that I've not cam-whored for a while. :P And we turned out with more than enough! View was good too. Ambience wasn't as crowded as Orchard, so it's good! Everything was good!!

Yesterday was out to town with twins and brought them out for some photo-taking (too). Went to Tanglin Mall and we were in time for the snow show. It was really quite a mess as kids were running around and adults were trying to dodge the soap bubbles. Nevertheless, it was fun.

Oh, did I mention that I got my Christmas gift early this year? Got it on the eve of the eve, 23rd. He came to surprise me by coming to my home and passed me the gift when we were supposed to meet on our way to the bus stop. How nice. I got a lovely musical box which I haven't gotten for the longest time I can remember; ever since I was a kid. It was very nice, very fairytale-like. Thanks, dear!

I got him an oil burner which is quite unique. It has carvings on it and when lighted, it disperses out designs of the carvings. Unique, aint't it? I love it, myself!

Alright, I shall be quiet and head to bed now since I'm deadly tired from these few days' walking.

Christmas Is...

... about sharing, love, forgiveness.

Done all 3 of the above. Have you? Been through a lot of emotional turmoil these 3 days. It's tiring. Quarelling spices up your life, yes but on a constant basis? It's a waste of energy (and telephone bills!).

Anyhow, a great bear hug to Eunice who was awakened by me early in the morning for a (short) session of sharing. All's well now.

Words hurt like a thousand knives piercing into your heart. So, be wary of what you say when you're in the midst of anger. You know who you are uh.

Shopping for his CNY (not too early lah) clothes in the afternoon. How lucky can we get to have bought 3 tees, back-to-back? Getting one was already hard. Today, we got 3!! Amazing!!

I was a good girl. Only got a tote and pants. Nothing else! Ain't I a good girl? :)

The sparkles were fun. The twins enjoyed it very much. For the records, they're here for the Christmas weekend. Both are so happy to be here. So cute.

Ok, I should be in bed already. So, ciao.

Have a Merry Christmas, filled with joy, love & happiness.

Rainy Season.

Coupled with moody people. Not exactly the best combination I like. :(

Was concerned but was too alarmed for nothing. Oh well.

Been raining whole day and everyone is affected by the weather. Literally UNDER the weather. Been trying hard to keep my spirits high but it's an uphill task.

Tired, very tired.

We Turn 1!

091207. It was a feat to complete the first year. Many more years to come! :)

Thanks for everything and it was very touching when you told me you've never thought of letting go no matter how rebelious or unreasonable I was. So that means I could continue my way? :P Hehe. No lar, I promise to be better.

Anyhow, hope you enjoyed evening as much as I did. Thanks for the Sushi Tei treat. It's been a loooooooong time since I had such a good one.

Love you!

Counting Down To THE Day.

8 more days to go to 091207. A special date to mark a special begining. Sweet. 7 more days to the 2nd experience. Can't wait! Wah!!

It's been busy busy busy busy busy busy busy. Can't say enough. Every week, Mondays are slow. Tuesdays are a drag. Wednesdays are so-so. Thursdays are late nights. Fridays, we heave a sigh of relief at night as things are cleared for the week and weekend is approaching.

So, tomorrow, I will be heaving my 8th sigh of relief. Wow! 8th time means 8th week! What a feat!

My FIrst Baby.

Not that I am expecting, so don't fret. It refers to my CNY capmpaign. :) Christmas was launched successfully but I didn't carry it though (meaning from concept to execution). CNY is something that I can call mine, mine, MINE! Moreover, I fought so very goddamn hard for it to stay with us. That sense of achievement and satisfaction is beyond words and I cannot express my joy over it. It harbours my sweat and tears (no blood). Everything is still in progress but at least things are going the way we want it to be. So, kudos to the team (and me)!

Retail therapy never felt so shiok before. Got shoes, jeans, T-shirts, accessories. All in half a day. I must say, it felt damn good. Of course, when the month cycle ends, I'd be miserably poor.

I've been told that I need not shop anymore. For I've shopped for CNY too. But the tees are not meant for CNY! :( But I promise to be a good girl for at least... a month? :P

Vague. Blurred.

Late nights and long hours aren't doing any good. Makes me like a no-life person. I lose my cool easily. No social activities with my cut6, friends. I feel a little lost and cut away from the real world.

Becoming short temper, more unreasonable, petty and what nots.

Don't know what to continue in this post.

Signing off. Frustrated.

How I've Been.

I've been bad. Coming home late; flaring up at my first, easily reached target.

I sincerely apologise. It's my bad. I was unreasonable. Sorry. :( Forgive me, will you? I realize my mistake. Really.

It's Been A Month.

Since I embarked on the new (and rocky) journey. It's all in the name, period. The load is tripled. The responsibilities are tripled. The processes are tripled. The angst is multipled. The same problem occurs. You'd think a more established place wouldn't have small nail-biting or hair-pulling moments. NO, you're wrong. It's the same. It's the people. URGH!!! I feel the need to talk to certain someone on Monday. Yes, I will. It's not fair to me, not fair to the one who is paying!

Ok, complaints aside. It's a good early morning for sleep but don't ask me why am I on the blogsphere so early. cellmate, close your mouth, I can almost see your mouth dropping. I wake up early nowadays alright! Plus, I am not so oblivious as compared to last time, ok. :P

For our 11th month together, I got a silicon skin for my keyboard. How sweet! Hehe It's a surprise after coming back after a super hard day. :) Thank you, dear.

And thank you, auntie sp for the superb delicious dinner. She decided to order pizza and I gobbled up 3 good pieces and 2 drumlets and several cheesesticks. Tsk tsk. It's a little wonder I need to increase my wardrobe. Hahaha.

Ok, that's all for now. I'll try to catch some winks.

Sweet Gesture.

Warning: This is a sweet post. If you think you're not up to it, please steer away. Thank you.

He had to go to JB this morning to settle some stuffs at the bank. Off he goes while I continue my journey in dreamland. Upon reaching Singapore, he SMS-ed and told me he got the (famous) Portugese egg tarts from City Square. Thought 1: How nice! When I knew he had to wait for 45 minutes for the freshly-baked tarts, it melted me. Thought 2: How sweet!

Thank you very much for the wonderful and delicious egg tarts coz you know how much I love egg tarts. And to spend 45 minutes waiting and walking around the mall is even sweeter. Thank you, my dear.

Focus on the good, not the bad. I'm sure you know what I mean as you were the one who constantly drill this into me. :P

Love you, dear.

Anger vs Hunger.

A hungry man is an angry man. Is that true? Someone, please elaborate.

My take on this is that: when one is hungry, stomach growls. You feel uncomfortable. You hold on till you reach a point whereby you cannot control the hunger and it eats (literally) eats you up. Slowly. Then you start biting (back) at people who treads on your tail.

Is that it? I am trying not to give myself too many excuses nowadays but it's getting hard. Plus, late nights aren't helping Pff. And tonight (just now, rather), it was hunger + late night = anger.

2 unhappy individuals now.

Week One Completed.

Yesterday was an absolute hectic and mad one. E was targeting 0% mistakes and frusfrations but somehow it was not done. Apologies on my end.

Everything that needed to go, went. The process was nonetheless painful and we sweated a lot for it. Anyway, they're out so PHEW!

I hope this will not affect me too much. This s is really funny. Called to tell me not to take everything personally. It's like the old morale story - you nailed the wall at your backyard. Upon realizing, you decide to remove the nails but the damage is already done. How?

Anyway, I never take them personal. If I wanted to, I wouldn't be here.

I will try to enjoy my weekend because I don't know how to do so when I wake up so damn early and can't get back to sleep and when I have dreams all night about the on-goings during the past week.

Bleh...

Day One - Three of the Other Journey.

All I could say is I am dead tired. Really dead tired. I was puntual on day 1 and i went home 12 hours later. On the dot, 12 hours later. I was in quite a daze by then. A lot of pointers to digest and processes to remember.

Day 2 was slightly better with actual stuffs to do. Got a string of things out on time, PHEW! j went on to talk for 30 minutes which mean clocking out at 8. But fine, that's considered early.

Day 3. Today. It's my feet that killed me. Stupid heels, which I should really consider throwing as it's hurting me badly everytime i wear it EVEN THOUGH it's only for a while (ie. walk to and from MRT station). Useless pair of thing huh. And the new slippers are hurting a little but not as much. AND all that climbing... I reckon I'd really lose some weight climbing up 2 storeys countless times daily. It's really COUNTLESS. I didn't bother counting them already.

Got arrowed 4 times today. Left, right, front, back. Forgot my bulletproof vest today. Sighs. Hope I didn't get jinto trouble. It can be such hair-tugging moment when there are sudden change of plans for the week. Grrrr.

Hanging on by the moment but loving it every second! :)

And, apologies to you (you know who you are) for throwing my tantrum (yet again!) at you unnecessarily yesterday. :P

Time to hit the bed now. Outta here.

Day Two, Three, and a half.

Day Two was lunch with a friend at City Hall then back home to do some groceries and housework. Seemed like a boring and typical day but enjoyed as these little things occupied my time. DIY facial papmer which now leaves my skin a tad too dry. (!!!).

Yesterday was lunch with ex-colleagues and then coffee (actually, tea) session with evil twin. I felt like I was leading a tai-tai life. Sitting at Spinneli's with my beverage, plugging onto my ipod and reading my book; admist the lush green outside the coffee joint enjoying the breezy and lazy afternoon. Ahh. Oomm.

I'm halfway into my fourth bumming day. It's been a rather slow and boring day. Woke up at ten and lazed around, doing nothing much and the day seemed to pass like a slow turtle.

On the other hand, I am a little jittery about the new week. What do I wear? What do I bring? What do I say? What do I do?

All the "What Do I's" are bogging my mind once in a while.

Day One.

Today marks day one of my bumming week. Started with waking up late(r) than usual. Then nua a little, housework then lunch for him at his office. Hah! I didn't cook the lunch. It was aunt sp who cooked bacon rice yesterday night and I merely heated it up.

Today was quite fruitful as I felt that I've completed a lot of things. Went ICA and did my Access Card and updated my address on my NRIC since I'm there already. Then it was off to Army Market for a fulfiling prawn noodle and a bowl of grass jelly with sea coconut. Fuahz! I certainly have a BIG appetite!

Pamper session started at 4.30pm at Far East Plaza. Spa pedicure with an extra I-already-forgot-what-treatment-already for my feet. Sat there and was pampered for a whole good 2 hours. Whee!!!!

There you have the itinerary of my day 1. Haha!!

Finally. The Journey Begins.

Yesterday marked my last day at my (then current, now previous) company. It was not too breezy as I had to endure stupid clients (still) and irritating colleagues.

On my last day, last few hours, someone lame said something lame to me which I could see the desperation and laziness. Totally turns me off and disgusted me way too much that I'd accede to your offer. To hell with you and your lameness and your offer; really. Mum even thinks you're a stupid fcuker.

FYI, my mother doesn't scold bad words, forbids us to even mention "Shit". Yet this came out of her, I was really surprised. It shows the anger she felt for me, which I am touched. Hehe. I'm tired of your stupid and childish antics. Just get out of my sight, my life. Idiotic lamer.

Alright, 'nuff of the disgusting person(s). It feels good to know that I am free and will begin my journey to another level soon. You may say I am bragging, very full of myself. Whatever it is, it's your opinion. It will not matter to me unless you're someone important to me, in my life.

Ok, I'm out of the blogsphere to become a compulsive fridge opener to see if there are snacks to munch on.

Growth.

My last week at work is a growing week for me. Rather, my stomach. I didn't have to pay for my lunch since Monday because Tuesday was farewell lunch for me by the company (first time in history), today was lunch by Em and tomorrow is lunch with TC. But oh, Friday is my turn to treat PY and J. Haha!!

I can hardly see my toes now due to my expanding stomach. Serious. Wah! It feels good to leave. For once. =)

The road will be smoother, I am sure!

Victory Smells Sweet.

A call at 5.14pm changed my life entirely. The day suddenly became brighter, lovelier, and whatever pleasant things you can think of. I was so excited I was trembling for a good 20 minutes.

It's been what I've been yearning for, craving for, wishing for, wanting for a good, painful, draggy 2 years. Finally, I've gotten what I've yearned for. Really. Everyone I told of is aware of my joy through my facial expression, my voice.

Thank you cellmate, for your gut feelings and accommodating to my nonsensical "Try-calling-my-phone-to-see-if-it's-spoilt" antics. Thank you auntie sp, who has given me a very good headstart in this race and your never ending encouragement and support. Thank you dear, for your bright ideas for the presentation and your relentless efforts in helping me gather research materials.

Thank you, everyone for one way or another. Haha. I am not even getting an award but I am writing a long list of Thank Yous which makes me feel very long-winded but it's alright because I've started my race well and I am getting there soon!!!

Ta Dah!

He said it was raining and wanted to take the umbrella out of his bag. I insisted that the drizzle is bearable and the next moment, TA DAH! A surprise!! :)

How sweet. A nicely and sweetly wrapped rectangular gift. I wondered what it was and guessed it was a photo frame. When I opened, to my delight and surprise (again), it was Gary Cao Ge's CD album! Hee.

I was speechless as I did not expect it from him. A small gift but it started my day well and bright. He said it was for our 9 months anniversary and to cheer me up as I was feeling very down and dejected lately.

Hehe, how thoughtful and sweet! Thank you har, the one I always bully but love all the time! :D

Weekend Work.

It's been a while since I had to work on a weekend. While doing research for my preso next week, I've decided to break away from the clutter of information and do some blogging instead.

This weekend is really a (I-don't-know-what-to-say) weekend. Yesterday was lunch at Sushi Tei, thanks to aunt sp for the generous treat. The lobster mentai was heavenly that I just died and went to heaven and then came down again. Hahaha. Three of us chalked up $140. :P

Ratatouille was entertaining and relaxing as compared to other previous movies which needed some level of concentration. Haha! After that, it was off to brochures collection for the research. Felt that I am racing against time, but what's new?

I just hope that everything will be fine by next week.

Finally, I Did It.

What did I do, you may ask. Well, I tendered my resignation. I couldn't stand her, him and it. Of course there are more to that but as this is not a private sphere, it's best not to hold a discussion here.

So, everyone, I finally dropped the shield and able to walk lightly, freely. :) Best of all, I am still jobless at this moment.

I hope something good will come up soon. Hope is what keeps me going on. Yay!!

But I can tell you, I am only too glad to have tendered. There's no better time than now as I was falling short of patience and excitement already.

cellmate, congrats to both of us, eh? Let's grab a drink on our last day(s)! :D

Soon. Soon.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope luck will come rolling, like what cellmate said.

Thanks for everyone who has been patient with me, my nonsense, my temperamental attitude. Phew!! I know, the last post has been a thanking session. I'm trying to express my (eternal) gratitude to people who matters to me. :)

The new girl is xxyyzz. As you know, this blog is public and I cannot comment openly as there might be unknown device(s) or unknown user(s) prancing around this sphere.

So, if you've heard it, you've heard it. If you haven't, you probably wouldn't want to hear of it at all! :)

Feeling a little chilly now. Wonder if it's the weather or my body. Sighs.

Does anyone ever get the Sunday blues? Let me know, thanks. (Fuahz! This last line sounds so familar coz I always write my office emails so. :P)

Monday tomorrow. Thereafter, it's Tuesday! :D

A Trying Time. The Thank Yous.

This is a very hard and trying time for both me and you. I know I will make it and surely surge up as a better person, a stronger individual and a smarter (hopefully) advertising person. It's going to be hard on you because you've to tolerate my nonsense and be patient towards my attitude and temper. So, thank you in advanced.

I cannot thank this next person enough - cellmate. She's been through my kao peh session more than once, twice. She's been through countless sessions with me. I never say it out but I am very very thankful of your support and company all these times.

Thanks to meanest too who has been my listening ears despite her busy schedule. All the best in your event and have fun in your retreat. Yes, pig out together next week, hopefully.

I've killed my intention and decided to continue the path for a while till I chance upon the exit signal. Say I'm a coward for not being bold enough, not being adventurous enough, not being whatever enough. I have my rationale and I'm still very clear of my goal at the top of the mountain.

Despite all obstacles, they merely hurt my legs and knees and hands. They didn't stab me to death. I believe that I'd be able to climb up to the peak soon.

Japanese-ed and Korean-ed.

No, I do NOT know Japanese or Korean. So happened I had to do newsletters of these two languages. Translator screwed up my timeline, I got screwed by client. Fcucked up and down, left and right. Finally it was a wrap on Friday night and the studio manager said, "Can you check faster?"

*Cringes nose*. Hello, do I know and understand these 2 languages? Do I, DO I!?!?!??!?! Hell, NO! So I am checking one by one, against client's copy and you want me to check faster? So, who is going to take responsibility when something goes wrong? Me again? I came back and told aunt sp. "Funniest joke I've heard in a long time, man", she said. "Must tell my friends next time." she continued.

If only people had more passion and responsibility. Ask you to go to printer's place to do press check, you said you cannot make it. You have something on. Then, you said there should not be anything wrong because everything is pathed (industry term for converting the entire file to non-editable version). So, I rebutted. You said, SHOULD. What if something happens? You didn't give me 100% assurance.

I'm thorough with these people and attitude. I shall just do my part and responsibility. To hell, with you people, ya know?

-----

Apparently, there's a worm in my blog here hur. Yes, YOU. Quietly read my post and you know what's going on with me - if I am pissed or angry or happy. How fortunate am I to have you by my side. Thanks for your patience, dear.

I Hate Waiting.

Have you ever had that kind of feeling when you had to wait and wait and wait till it felt like infinity only to realize that you need not wait for your effort will not be reciprocated?

That feeling is not good. Not good at all.

Signing off on the 9th of this month... I'm still waiting for something that is unknown. Is that foolish?

Going Once, Going Twice. GONE!

Like my (current) MSN nick says, "losing once is painful. losin twice is stupidity." Opportunity only knocks once. I should not have been an @$$h0|3 a year ago and just accepted it then. Look where I am now. In a dark, pit hole; trying to climb up of the bloody, stupid hole to catch a glimpse of light. It's difficult, very difficult. Wasted too much time and didn't know how to take advantage(s) of opportunities when they came.

No one to blame but myself and my foolishness back then. I am paying the price now. Hopefully the price that I am paying isn't going to be long as the process is painful and the pain and sufferings will only make me a weaker link.

I Am Back.

From the lalaland. I was hoping to never have to get back to work. After Bintan, it was to Bali. After Bali, it was back to the rat-chase-rat and man-eat-man world. Grrr.

No news from anyone and it's getting on my nerves. Thanks to cellmate and meanest who have been very encouraging and supportive to me all these times. So, a big THANK YOU! I will hang on to however thin the rope is. Preserve. *Grits my teeth*

Let's hope things start turning into a better angle. During the past 2 weeks, I felt as if I've been pampered too much with holidays. Haha!! It gets me excited and we're planning for our next holiday.

Where shall it be? Taiwan, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Thailand or Tioman or some other islands in Malaysia. Suggestions, suggestions. Headaches, headaches. Money, money, money!!! Hahhh.

Monday tomorrow. Let's hope for a good start ahead, all.

23rd July

SMS-es from friends whom I don't get birthday wishes from. Surprise birthday present(s) from him. That's how I spent my birthday this year. Rather different from last year because there's 1 additional person to pamper me and I got to blow a cake!

Alas! It seemed that I haven't been able to blow a birthday cake for a couple of years. Thank you, my dear for the surprise cake. :) Really didn't expect it coming. It was the perfect ending to my birthday.

Celebration seemed to have started on last Friday. Bintan trip costs us more than $500. Accommodation was $260. Spa was $350. Meals cost about $200. I got the DKNY Be Delicious Eau De Parfum, finally. Thank you very much. :) The entire holiday experience was nice. Bintan is a no-brainer place and the 3 days that we were there were practically eat-sleep-eat-sleep-spa-sleep-eat-sleep. So you see, I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Haven't been able to let my hair down for so long. No phone calls, no emails, no designers, no clients. Free from the world.

I will be flying to Bali on Thursday with the company for our company retreat. Oh yes, retreat with the monkeys. As if I don't see them enough, on a daily basis back home. Sheesh.

All in all, thanks to everyone who called and SMS-ed me. Of course, not forgetting you. :)

It's Like...

Extreme happiness and excitement yesterday for something awaits me today. I am blogging from home because I am stucked in the rain and cannot get out. It's a pity because I woke up earlier than usual and planned to hit office earlier than usual. Sheesh. I hope everything will go smoothly later and I await the (good) news.

Cellmate is starting work today and I wish her all the best in her new job and a bright start. However, I don't see how the weather is helping her. Anyhow, please, have free flow of you-know-what when you go for your brand induction later. For my sake, at least? Hahaha!!

Tomorrow's the start to my little getaway. Rather, tonight as I'd be busy packing and getting geared up for the trip.

Passion vs Money Part 2. :)

Money vs. Passion.

It's the battle between money and passion. Which will be crowned the ultimate champion?

I'm really torn. Not that I've any offers on hand but it's good to think before you set out to do it. Right?

I hoped to start off this week with at least a(nother) calm week. However, due to my blunder in not being able to tell a good (white) lie, I landed myself in some heads-on collision with the duo again. Sighs. BIG sighs!

I just hope they won't ask me to go into the room and start yet another long and gruelling session. I'm really apologetic about this.

Meanwhile, i am really really hoping that Thursday will come quick and voila! I'm off to Bintan the next day.

Things To Do.

In Bintan
1. Suntan
2. Laze at the beach
3. Spa
4. IGNORE unwanted phone calls
5. Relax
6. Laze

In Bali

Countdown to our getaway: 10 days

July Is My Favourite Month.

Because it's my birthday month.
Because it's a holiday month.
Because I like July.
Because of the 2% GST increase. (BLEH! As if!)
Because it's Hong Kong's 10th Year of Handover (Seriously, I don't care.)

Ok, as you've seen, July is my favourite month because of the first 2 statements. I'm excited because I have an interesting and fun July lining up.

Next weekend is the routine errands + Transforming weekend. July 14th will see me back in BP with my 2 nincompoopy friends, trying to celebrate farewell + birthday and trying to do away with MYbirthday present. Eu, that is wrong, ok? July 20th sees me in Bintan, admist the lush and serene greenery. July 26th will see me in Bali, (hopefully) having fun.

Wow! I love July! *Embrace*

Seriously.

I need my break badly and quickly. Don't think I can take it anymore. Either that, I am finding it hard to pick up the momentum. Haven't been working past 7.30pm for a long time. This week was super busy and packed to the brim. Went to a meeting and returned to office at 11 only to find mailbox being flooded. 11 unread mails. Yes, didn't sound like a lot but for me (in current situation whereby I have nothing much to do) is a lot. Didn't have time to digest all and more came in!!! Urgh!!!

Body seems to be asking me to slow down. Hell, haven't been working hard recently due to lull period in my accounts. Engine has turned rusty. Needs some oil, needs some servicing on its parts. I can almost hear the creaks and feel my engine falling apart.

Didn't have a good time at work either. Many issues and worries flying around that makes me sick, literally. Don't know if I could hang on till the moment. I wake up every morning, chanting "Be Positive". Sounds like an idiot but that is what that keeps me going. Of course, not forgetting his support for me and it's thanks to him that made me see some light at the end of the fcuking dark and lifeless tunnel. So, thank you for your patience and advice.

Meanwhile, countdown to getaway: 24 days.

Voila!

Thought after buying the pants suit last night, I wouldn't buy shoes. Didn't want to splurge that much but ahh, I couldn't succumb to tempation. Alas, found a pair of heels at Chinatown and $27.90 out of my wallet. Only that for today. Managed to keep to that else I'd be overly broke that I don't think I can afford my Bintan trip. $200+ per pax.

I'm going to drop my shield soon. Eunice, you won't catch me saying my shield is heavy for long. I promise.

Hopeful for a better tomorrow.

Participant of the GSS '07.

Today was Fantastiking 4 and GSS-ing. Bought shoes for Mummy and got myself a dress pants. Not sure if it's called dress pants but it's a whole suit but only it's short pants. You get the drift? Aiya I'm not super duper into fashion hence my description is gabrah.

Tomorrow, we'll be doing something different. Waking up early to go Starbucks at OneFullerton for breakfast and sea view. Then to Chinatown for our Bintan packages. Yay! My leave has been approved hence I can safely proceed to make the nexcessary arrangements. :) Dinner will be home cooked meal. Wow, sounds like a wonderful Sunday.

If only the next day isn't Monday and I need not go office and face the irritating bummers.

Unfortunate Toe.

Yes, you read it right. My toe was so unfortunate this evening. Kicked into the already-came-off-tile of the office toilet and my toe cringed in pain. After that, it was immobile till now. A little turn will result in me cringing my face and body. It hurts so badly that I walk with a limp, still. I limped my way to the presentation at 5.15 just now. It was a 5 minutes walk from the office but it took me 15 minutes to reach.

So bad that I took a cab home and burnt $13.30 in my savings. So bad that i could not even touch it. I swear if anyone tries to do something funny (like the manager & the boy) like stepping on my toe; whether on purpose or not, I'd flatten that person. It hurts like hell and I was contemplating on getting an MC for tomorrow for I know I'd have trouble walking to office at my normal speed.

Now, I've to wake up 30 minutes earlier to prepare. Of course, as usual; I always remind myself to take up at 7 sharp but that never happened. Really, it never happened. Maybe, let's see tomorrow.

Irritating Fly.

There's an irritating fly buzzing around in the office and it's not very well-liked. Simply because you spoil your client by letting make amendments so late, you delay MY designer's time on MY project and asked him to do your work. In the first place, he wasn't even the one who was doing the job in the first place!

Now, I'm staying back in the office, cold and hungry and mad at you stupid bitch because you delayed my designer's time. Now, he could not finish my work on time and I've to stay back and cow in the office till who-knows-what-time. Where are you? Happily wagging your irritating face and tail out of the office already. You damn bitch.

Shopping Weekend.

Saturday started with a (not-so-well-done-but-still-edible-and-not-too-bad) breakfast for him. In return, I got a Nighmare Before Christmas mug!!! *glees* Then off we went for Shrek 3 which wasn't too worth the ticket price. Firstly, the experience wasn't good, thanks to kids again!!

Anyhow, the story plot wasn't too fantastic as well. I've decided to buy the DVD for Shrek 1 & 2 to collect and to watch again. Came back for the BBQ at night at his ex-colleague's house at Pasir Panjang. Nice place but too bad it was a tad too ulu. Place is spacious and surrounding is serene and peaceful. Occasional hoots from the ship as it's near the sea. Nice place.

Sunday was great. It was the shopping weekend. Ahh... I got a top, a handbag for mummy, a Braun Buffel keypouch for Daddy, some little stuffs here and there. What I'm now lacking are shoes, bottoms and... and... and I think that's all for now. :)

Oh yes, he bought Doraemon keychain with a rotating eyes? Haha! The child trapped in adult's body was very fascinated by it and decided to get 2 for ourselves. It's fun coz everytime you press the button, you get different eyes moving. Like a jackpot mechanics. Haha, lame fun, yeah. But it's entertaining. :D

Bored.At.Work.

As the title suggest, you will understand why I can blog at this time of the day. Boss is out for meeting with the Manager. My jobs are either pending, on hold or waiting for client/ boss to revert.

I'm effectively a WAITER - waiting, waiting and waiting. I am sick of waiting!!!

Ignore me, I'm just rambling nonsensical stuffs since there hasn't been much update on my new pad recently.

Shrek 3 on Saturday, followed by BBQ. Wah! So happening hur.

The New Toy.

First entry for this month and first entry from the new toy. :)

Thursday morning was super early for us. Prata for breakfast and then Borders for the twins' birthday present. Then down to serious business. The 2007 PC Show at Suntec!!

Bought accessories and finally the big bang. My New MacBook. Getting it was such a sweet process. Even carrying it makes me feel good about myself. Hahaha!!!

Thursday evening was spent loading in stuffs and what nots. We only finished at 10.30pm!!! Whoa, a long process and tiring and hungry for the rabbit. Hehehe.

Friday was back home and preparing for the twins' birthday party. They had their fun and wish fulfilled. Alas. Haha!! Kids. Always filled with laughter and innocence. Wished I was back to that time again.

Tomorrow's Monday. I hope the weekend comes fast. :) Saturday, come fast for I am soooooo looking forward to this Saturday. ;)

Last Few Hours..

... to victory. Ah, it smells near. So near. Barely a few hours away. No, please don't think I'm so excited that I cannot sleep. Fact is, I am not that sleepy. Been sleeping very early this week and I think I've got enough sleep to last me past midnight (today).

This is probably going to be the last entry for the blog off my Hyundai laptop which has served me (faithfully) for 4 years. So long, my friend.

Gathering with the BP friends was CRAZY. We wrecked wherever we went. From Essential Brew to NYDC to the streets at Holland V. I bet the NYDC staff has blacklisted us since we stepped in. The moment we stepped in, we not only ordered 3 desserts for 8 noisy, wacky, crazy bunch of girls but we took their soft toys and started the photog session. Indeed, we let our hairs down (but not too much; it's still a public place after all!)

To summarize? Enjoyable and fun.

I think I should start hitting my bed and wake up early enough to be Number 1 in the PC Show. How kiasu. Tsk tsk!

A New Lease of Life.

Another aspect of my life will be renewed this Thursday, 31st May, at 12 noon. :) Ahh, sweet. Sweet. Sure, the current machine can play me out and hang on me. Do whatever you want to do. Afterall, you only have the last 4 days! Woooo. Wah, I sound like an ungrateful bastard. Tsk tsk. Alright, since you've served me for a good 4 years, I will give you a proper farewell. If I feel like it. :P

Pirates 3 yesterday was good but lengthy. I was getting very, very fidgety by the end of 2 hours. That's always the max that I could go. It's also not helping that the baby; yes, the BABY kept making baby-ish noises. The "aww aww" sounds. Parents, if you should decide to bring your infants to the movies, please spare a thoughts for the other 100 movie goers!!

And adults, please. You don't own the cinema so please stop shuffling the plastic bags in the midst of the show. If you should decide your hands cannot steer clear from your plastics, please book the entire cinema for yourself, and the plastic!!

And kids, if you know you'll be hungry or your mouth simply itch for food, please buy your snacks BEFORE the show starts. It's not worth spending $9 on a ticket which a portion of it, you've missed 'coz you ran out to get your hotdog with mustard or whatsoever shit.

The show was proved long as many ran up and down to the toilet. Many!! My seats at the last row of the entire cinema saw many people running in and out, up and down.

The entire experience was nasty, to me because there were many disturbances. Luckily, I didn't pay for a lousy movie. Pirates proved to be worth spending.

A Reflection on Time.

It's been 5 months. Long or short? Sounds long but fact is, not really. 5 months coated with happiness, agony, unhappiness, pain, etc.

I couldn't imagine that it's been 5 months down the road. *A pat on my shoulder* Haha!! Ok la, a pat on his shoulders for putting up with me. :P

Work is #$*%&#*$*@&%$#. BUT I shan't complain and will just carry out my duties accordingly. Shaddup, sy; SHADDUP!!

Every Little Step To The Big Bang.

The big bang will be end of this month. Sweet. :)

But for starters, I've gotten my 80G of external HDD. Yay!! Last Sunday, went Chinatown to shop for tour packages to Bintan. Yeah, sounds a little silly shopping for Bintan packages but we wanted to have some ideas on the pricing. A quick tour in Chinatown Point completed our aim. Was a little bored and decided to head to Sim Lim. He wanted an external keyboard and I just wanted to look around.

Whilst he was shopping for his stuffs, I was asking for the price of my HDD. It's about time since my last one died sometime last year. HDDs nowadays are freaking cheap. $112 for 80G and a modified, nicer, aluminium casing. Wooh! Sleek!!!

His Logitech keyboard is only $16!! Wah! Of course, not comparable to the original Apple keyboard. But hey, cost is at stake. $16 vs $48. Huge difference!!

Went shopping for mum's gift and bought her Burberry's Summer EDT. Smells light and sweet enough for her. :)

Counting down: 29 days left.

June, please come quick.

The next IT Fair better come quick as I cannot stand the itch already. I'm ready for my MacBook!! *Smiles gleefully*

Boss isn't very nice when I want to CLEAR leave. Hello, if I don't clear by April, they'd be forfeited! Why the heck do I want to let you have the advantage? Besides, I am entitled to the leave and you tell me nonsense? Tsk tsk. Crazy!! Absolute madness.

Wait till I get my lazy ass moving (as cellmate says), I'd spring the surprise on you. Ho Ho Ho!!

And The Winner Is...

Bintan! After some thoughts & consideration, Bintan emerged the winner. Now, it's off to collect more information and packages. Hope my birthday weekend will be fun-filled. Hehe. Quite exciting to think about my birthday when it's months away. Haha!!

Another thing to be happy about it that I'm off the stupid debt already! WOOHHHHHHHH!!!! I've no more liability at this stupid place. I no more have to endure nonsense. Yay!!! I am free (again).

To celebrate, we went to Sushi Tei; on me. A whopping $60++ left us with big and heavy stomachs. Haha. Yumm yumm.

Somebody's moving tomorrow. Big project. Moving. Moving. Moving. Moving. Moved!! :))

Phantom of the Opera was fantastic 2 nights ago, too. I was awed by their production. The setup, their costumes, the details. Fantabulous. Worth my $130. Except the Indonesian uncle behind me. Bet he's been dragged to the musical as he was snoring away. How irritating!!!

Choices.

It's between Bintan and Bukit Tinggi. Which will emerge the winner?

Readers, please help. :)

Countdown.

2 more weeks, 2 more weeks. :) Counting down to his shift to this area, which is 5 minutes' walk to my home. :D

Feeling a little jittery and excited because it's so near. Haha!! Funny, isn't it? He's not complaining because it's so near and nearer to his office than his current place.

Current landlady is an @$$#0l3. Fancy, asking for rent a couple of days earlier; knocking on people's door early in the morning, on a SATURDAY morning!! How rude! I can't stand rude people.

I feel 幸福 of the little things that he has done for me. So, thank you!

Alrightie, I'm outta here... for housework!!

The L-A-S-T Straw.

I didn't feel angry when that woman yelled at me over the phone. I just felt disappointed.

When I reached office, e asked if I've gotten into (another) trouble with that woman. No, I said. It's her interference which complicates matter, topped with a super-duper-hyper blur favourite of hers. ty asked me to explain and clear the air with that woman.

Felt that there was no such need as she brushed me off (rudely & very loudly) when I tried explaining over the phone. I didn't feel like talking to someone who will start barking at me whenever I want to start explaining. I didn't want to incur the wrath again. I just didn't feel the need to.

All I know is, I ain't angry. I'm just disappointed. Having said that, my heart is totally crushed. Yes, I've made mistakes but bear in mind, I'm no prisoner of yours. Do not simply, anyhow condemn me. And, you don't own me. We merely share a little of interest. You need an employee, I need money. Period.

Banyan Tree, oh Banyan Tree.

I've a wish. I wish for a spa retreat at Banyan Tree for my birthday.

Looking at situation, ie bank account; don't think I'm heading there for another 2 years.

Boo hoo!! I wish someone can offer me an all-expenses paid to Banyan Tree for 2 nights. Ahh.. I think I maybe a little greedy but hey, 1 night isn't sufficient to enjoy.

Imagine, you reach Bintan, check in, etc. It's probably late afternoon. Dinner, then 1 night gone. Where got time for spa?!?!?!?!

Rotten.

I feel very rotten.

Aren't you already rotten?

What!? Ok lar, I feel even more rotten.

Then you must be very smelly loh.

Yeah, thanks, Mummy for the encouraging words. -_-

Oh, clever.

Spritzed my perfume right into my eye this morning. As if that wasn't bad enough. Luckily eye didn't get infection and it stayed pretty "calm".

On the way to MRT, the crow above decided to drop its bomb on me. -_- I've never gotten sooooo (un)lucky before!!! Shit (literally).

It dropped like morning dew but it hit me that my area didn't rain and was freaking hot and dry for the past 2 days. How on earth could there be such a smooth morning dew? A stroke on my hair and found some greenish substance and I froze instantly.

How lucky could I get? Was hoping that nothing goes wrong in office since I'm already so (un)lucky. True enough. What I hoped for came true. Phew!

His Birthday Weekend...

...was filled with surprises, fun and exasperation. Surprises because I made him steamed chocolate cake and brought to his office. His colleagues planned for a surprise mini party for him. Of course, I lied to him that I need to rush for meetings and reports. :P

Then voila! He had a shock to see me appearing in his office studio. Haha!! The look was classic.

Fun coz we travelled to JB over the weekend and had nice time walking around, eating and critisizing things.

Exasperate because I couldn't find a pair of nice decent heels. Not till when we were about to head home here. -_- Nevertheless, it was fun because I haven't been "seriously" shopping in JB and last weekend it was an eye-opener for me. Well, sort of.

Came back with a nice lingerie, a pair of shoes and that's it. No bags, no clothes. Sighs.

Looking forward to our next destination - Bintan.

**Excitement won't get you anywhere. Planning will.**

Stucked And Can't Get Out.

Stucked in the dumps and you know you're unwanted. The most painful part of the torture is you can't get out.

Pre-CNY. CNY. Post-CNY.

Pre-CNY was busy shopping for new clothes, foodstuffs, last minute candies. Stress.

CNY was busy eating, visiting, collecting red packets and counting side income. Stress.

Post-CNY is busy eating (still!), fretting over weight gained. Stress.

I Love Surprises Part II.

Wanted to cook my specialty ommelette and we ended up cleaning kitchen instead. The stupid juice that we bought the other time blasted through the kitchen. Yes, I know this sounds absurd and exaggerating but it's true.

I transferred into a smaller bottle and it expanded the bottle after putting in the fridge. He took it out, opened at the sink and it blew out of the bottle like waterfall and splashed across the entire kitchen. The water was so powerful that it broke the plates and the juice splattered around the kitchen and exploded. Auntie sp was so shocked she thought something happened to us. Hahaha!!

In the end, gone is the nice ommelette and of course, my efforts. But it's even more shocking because a juice can be fermented and explode. Imagine, kids who innocently open up the juices will get a bloody rude shock and it's so dangerous! My gosh!!

Wah, barely 12 am but I'm yawning. I'm craving for my bed now. Night, all!

I Love Surprises.

1) A Chance of Sunshine book
2) Solvil Titus A Chance of Sunshine watch

Item 1 caught me unaware and greatly taken aback. The second item, needless to say caught me breathless.

The (early) celebration, indeed. Tomorrow's breakfast on me. I feel stressed over my gift because the thought process behind his was so well-thought out. Aiyoo.

Do, Don't Do. Do, Don't Do.

"Do also wrong. Never do also wrong." I am seriously lost. Do I do or do I don't? Sucky.

Eventful Weekend.

I'm back to Singapore and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this lil' island because the security here is good. Place is safe(r) than the counterpart.

We set off to JB on late Friday afternoon and settled the bride's bridal gown. Checked in to hotel late and hence pedicure & manicure session was even later. We had to literally beg them to do for m, saying that it's her wedding the next day. Felt so sorry for m.

Saturday morning was mad rush and then to the wedding lunch then back to hotel to rest. Night was dinner & clubbing and guess what. The club was raided! Just as we were planning to leave!! Alamak.

The wedding couple had an unforgetful wedding night 'coz the groom was suspected because he had cough and drank cough mixture. Hence, the drug presence in urine. After that, all was fine again.

On a side note, sometimes, I feel that I'm better off like I used to be.

Like Schooldays.

Tomorrow, in fact later today, I am going on 1/2 day official leave and 1/2 unofficial self-declared leave. :P Took 1/2 day to attend m's wedding in JB tomorrow and we're setting off today. The other 1/2 was taken because I didn't feel like going school work.

After the unpleasant attempt by the useless dickhead "washing my face" in front of everyone, I felt a little demotivated. Despite his numerous attempts to bring me down, I am standing with my foothold firm on the ground.

I shan't argue, I shan't raise my voice, I shan't flare up. If I do anything to react to his lowly attempts to get on me, I'd be falling into his trap and boss surely has things to say (about me). Pff! I may be silly but not that stupid.

Ah, crap. Crap. CRAP!! Doesn't help that boss is siding dickhead because she thinks he is capable. Oh yeah. Capable of sitting there and waiting to get fat. Sheesh!!

Ok, away with all anger and embrace the long weekend. My rabbit & I are going to enjoy it together! JB, here we come! Food, food, food, shopping, food, food, food. Wooh!! Of course, I didn't forget I am there to attend m's wedding.

Lo and behold! Weekend is here!! =)

Crap.

It is still crap despite so many attempts at getting up after the so-called fall. Despite my efforts, I'm still pinpointed down. Prejudice, prejudice, prejudice. I simply cannot take it any longer. I give up with you both. You both can expand yourselves to overseas, to SEA, Asia, worldwide; I don't give a fucking damn anymore.

It's clearly not my fault but simply because you misunderstood my words, you yelled at me. Why do I even want to fight for you? I must be crazy to do so. I totally give up and I give myself 2 more months, maximum.

Goodbye.

Easier Said Than Done.

090107 - was supposed to celebrate together but in the end somebody had to OT. Sian. Not angry but somehow disappointed. However, work is work. Cannot blame work, isn't it? Anyway, it's just a date. Doesn't matter much in any case. When I was asked several times if I'd mind the working hours, I said, "I'm also in this line. I can understand." But when it really happens, wah! It's certainly easier said than done, man!

We were just saying his friend is getting married on 7th July this year - 070707. Next year, the auspicious date will be 080808. Yeah, many will rush to get married by a certain "beautiful" date but they can divorce (touch wood!) anytime too! So what if you get married on a certain memorable date? There's no guarantee everything will be smooth sailing.

In any case, HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, cut6 blog!!! :D

More Woes To Come.

Work hasn't been smooth-sailing. With both boss(es) and colleagues. It's kind of irritating me already and I don't even think I am at fault with the colleague. In any case, it's just work. No use getting worked up over it because it's simply not worth it! So chill, chill. =)

Back home and went shopping with mummy just now. Parted with RM160 and got 2 tops and a skirt. Hahaha!!

There are 1001 things running through my mind now and I don't know where to press the STOP button. Sighs, another one of those times.

URGH!!

First Post for 2007.

Dear readers,

A Happy New Year to you. May this new year bring you joy, happiness, peace, prosperity, abundance of health and whatever you wish to have.

A recap of the long holidays:

30th - was like the Movie Marathon day. Death Note 1 at home. Followed by Night At The Museum in the evening then Death Note 2. Still wanted to watch another midnight show. Like never watch movies before. Crazy! Then it was to Boat Quay for a drink at Harry's. Then home.

31st - woke up at noon and went over to m's place thereafter. Steamboat & BBQ for dinner. Had lots of fun, really. Mahjong, poker cards, food preparation. Nice!! Then we drove to Kallang to watch fireworks. So nice. It took 12 months of my GST in exchange for that 10 minutes of pretty fireworks. Sighs. And the crazy nuts wanted durian and hence, durian for supper. Fattening like crazy!! But nice as I haven't had durian for some time.

Back to their house for continued mahjong and poker cards. Wah! Won poker but mahjong got blocker. Hurr!! Anyway, continued till 4+ a.m. before I decided to put a stop to my loss in wallet. Haha. Luckily, lost my majority of my money to him so need not really pay back. Wahaha! :P

Ok, now, I am awaiting auntie's return to do shopping for pasta lunch tomorrow with cut6. cellmate is back!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!
