the avp resigned today and i could see my boss' thunder-black face.

and she actually walked to my freezing room,opened the door and growled

Her: "can u do surveys and things like that"
Me: "erm..should be"
Her:"don't say should.."
Me: "Yah i CAN!"

what conviction.

i just pray i can takeover his 21 inch LCD screen. Give me all the shit...but i wantto ditch this blardy desktop!

2006-10-04T14:55:00.000+08:00

quote of the day (and probably the mth):

"i feel like her (the boss') mini PA, and sometimes i feel like Anne Hathaway from the Devil Wears Prada..."

ehehehhee.

2006-10-03T08:34:00.000+08:00

it's barely 835am and hello world, i m sitting infront of my crummy desktop,drinking iced teh tarik, and attemtping to trotter out my assignment.

1st day of work ended at 7pm, not too bad assuming i had a department meeting. bit of a culture shock here (as compared to the kampung culture back in my old office):
That the colour code IS black and white (btw black only for suits)
Strappy heels is frowned upon (2 painful blisters bear testement to my commitment to covered shoes)
Handbags, and not only wallets must be lugged to lunch
A laptop is actually a luxury

haven't actually met my boss yet (yep i m so impt that she wenton leave on my might first day), but i hope what i heard is sort of thru- put me on the bloody HK acc, fly me to Hk every other mth, and i will slog my ass off!

back to assignment. any textbooks to recommend? i needto be an expert in warrants and stocks and watever by friday.

2006-10-01T23:02:00.000+08:00

starting work tmr!

there's this feeling of anticipation, but not without worry.

watever! i hope my boss loves me and gives me 6 mths bonuses!

aniwei i had hell of a weekend!

on fri i stuck to my dear dear like super glue. we gorged on xo fish beehoon, and guzzled beer at walas.

on sat i stuck to my dear dear (again) and watched soccer with him and downed many sinful fried chicken wings and carrot cake! at 10pm at nite somemore.

today i went out with the guys for Menotti tea! 1-for-1 deals...not verrie normal to have pasta at 330pm but..whatever! and yongzhi the lovely bought us all wonderful pressies! he got me the most adorable harrods bag! (wat's wrong with the females in the world??!?! this is a man, with the bucks, the car and the PERSONALITY!) and me jacq n cheeyong hit the shops! i m so glad i inspired jacq to buy, buy and buy!

and did i mention i hv a new lip gloss fetish? after jacq verrie graciously let me take a swipe of her L'oreal Strawberry Sorbet. sounds yummy, and looks yummy! but pls dun buy Missha lip gloss. sticky like hell, no one would wan to kiss u!

keep ur fingers crossed for me dear frens, that my new colleagues will b nice enough to bring me to lunch. lalala!

2006-09-13T17:23:00.000+08:00

i wanna watch The Devil Wears Prada!

and i m pondering where i shd bring daddy dearest to makan for his birthday. maebe i shd sneak him to Lawry's. ahahhaha. *heart pain* but he is my daddy dearest la.

i miss my dear dear. and its only mid-week.

i m so hooked on Kim Samsoon. not on Samsoon, but the dunno-what's-his-name-but-cute-like-siao man. and he likes chubby-whiny girls somemore wor! *swoon* i even bought the dvd. hahaha.

gg to get a soft toy monkey for my laoban as part of her farewell gift. think she deserves something special for being such a lovely boss, and sicne she likes monkeys i shall get her the cutest monkey alive!

perhaps i shd get the kim samsoon pig too.

521pm. knocking off. woohoo!

2006-09-12T10:18:00.000+08:00

we all turned up in PINK last friday!

even the guys mauhahaha.

and i m so in love with him!!!!!! *major droolz*

how can anyone look sooooooo irresistable??! help!

issit a rash move to fly off for a short adventure alone before i start work?

anyway's gg to seriouisly plan for europe leow. MAUHAHAHHAHAHA. going to grab a lonely planet or frommers guide soon. MUAHAHHAHA. and i figure it might make good sense to get something like a 4 days Paris free n easy package, and squirrel away to other countries fromn there. which gives mea little comfort in a 3 star hotel, after roughing it out in shit-hole hostels with smelly students.

laalalallaa.

do u think my boss will let me off work early? am gg to catch flies till 28th sept. if she keeps me, i catch flies n earn my keep. if she lets me off..i will *gulp* be tempted to go for another holiday!

2006-09-11T16:14:00.000+08:00

@ Yung Kee! great beef horfun, beef stomach...and wanton!

horrified huiyan with giant pig trotters. ah.

and i decided i shall NEVER go hongkong with dear dear. the shopping will be sooooo detrimental to our relationship ahahha. i can imagine his absolute look of horror when i sweep the shops clean.

check out our buys on the FIRST day.

(and i vaguely remember some spilled over onto the floor...)

and check out Yan on day dunno what. HAHHAHAHA. she is drowning in her own shopping.

Bring me back to hongkong!

Disneyland pics later...bumming ard in office again..my bank project is on hold till after i leave...say if a tiny miracle turns up and they elt me leave like early by a few days...i might just fly off to somewhere again for a rendezvous!

HA pray for me!

2006-08-23T09:07:00.000+08:00

woke up starving in the morning...bet it becuase of the gym last nite...yesh i hit cali with theresa yesterday evening!

i bought breakfast! i swear its the nicest breakfast in sg..but it looks better in real life hahahha. and tastes better when u are ard boo :(

YONG TAU FOO! note the 2 strands of kang kong i added in my feeble attempt to make myself feel ermm healthier?

and the reallie realllie nice wu xiang rolls n balls! but they look damn in pics lah ahhaha. be warned.

haven't settled on a last day date yet (*^%$#@) so i have decided to pester the boss todae. cos i think there's need to ring my new co's HR to remind them of my existence, just incase they forget me. i mean its prolly OCT when i start work! i bet the aggressive woman who interviewed me has forgotten my very existence!

today is gg to be a good day! i m gg to file file file file away (darn ISO auditing this fri..) and then meet mindy for prata! and tmr i m hitting gym again! for classes...then gg to have a gelato dinner!

and HK is next wed! so many reasons to smile!

2006-08-18T09:45:00.000+08:00

long time since i blogged! evil company is attempting to drown me in work before i leave *growl* and i am gg to burn my weekend watching random people clean their floors! how mundane! bleh.

one of my fav pics from phuket hehehe. usually i pick pics that make me look good. i tink i look quite horrid here...but dear dear loooks sooooooo cute! HA.

the Moomon family sitting on my colleague's table! i bought the big one for her (for $6 only muaahahhahaha) and the lil' one came from someone else.

we r gg mad over pretty taiwan auction dresses in office! is this lovely...

or this better?! i wan to buy one and wear to wenhui's wedding muahhaha!

and speaking of shopping i broke the shopping ban (i need to save save save a truckload for HK!) yesterdae :( but how could i resist this?!

hahahahhaha i know i m corny. ahhahahahhaa. but i like.

i can smell the weekend wow wee! damn gross that i have to work late (again) to watch people clena floors...and do my mystery shopping at Butter Factory ( i get paid to drink!)..but i get to meet dear dear!!! *beams*

2006-08-07T11:05:00.000+08:00

sigh.

i feel terrible.

and gg to be for the next 2 months

i think i just semi-wrecked my boss' life with my single decision.

i can't help but feel that my decision is selfish.

i know i can't be living my life for others though

and that this ain't that bad a time to leave afterall

but still, i feel terrible

boo :(

Sneak peak @ Phuket!

2006-08-03T17:05:00.000+08:00

Pretty right??

stay tune for more pictures from my Phuket trip bah! lalalala.

anyway's am collecting dust in office, and i finally mustered up the courage to do THE dreaded task yesterdae. and my laoban's reaction left me quite broken.

i never expected it to be so difficult. i guess this is when ur personal feelings start entwining with ur professional life. and at times i feel so lost, so uncertain, and the question to take the plunge or not keeps circling my head.

do u choose to hang on to a buoy? do u attempt to swim further to see if there is a better place out there?

tossed and turned in bed last night again, and finally i decided to take the plunge today. for better or for worse, at least at the end of it all, at least i can proudly say that i took on the challenge head on, that i resisted the strong lure of my usual comfort zone.

i m certain i want to see how i would do in a competitive environment. to see if i can thrive in the dog-eat-dog corprate world out there. if not now, when?

tea with laoban later. a chance to be honest with my boss, and i hope that eventually, i will walk away with a mentor for life.

2006-08-01T00:54:00.000+08:00

Phuket was a blast!

have tonnes of photos...

but can only upload them when i get back into office.

sleepless at 12 51am. help.

i accepted a job offer todae. the result of a 5 min (okie fine its 10 mins my dear dear says i exaggerate) interview.

i AM happy. actually quite excited over the prospects of roughing it out in an entire new industry.

(and the thought of working late nites till the shops are all closed so i can save money till it overflows from my bank hohoho)

but i really dread the thought of breaking the news to my boss.

guilt-stricken more like it.

i mean, i cannot fathom how anybody not feel guilt-stricken when they hand in a resignation, after spending decent time with their team.

unless they really hate their company to the core lah.

my boss is a super-duper nice non-bitchy woman who is ultra-nice to her subordinates and never ever tries to make a mountain out of a molehill. someone so down-to-earth, that she pesters me to go Bugis Village for shopping trips with her.

so here i am, sleepless, tossing n turning in bed, abt how to break the news to her.

i guess i just have to do it, between sobs or whatever.

i guess saying goodbye is just part and parcel of work bah. blah.

2006-07-30T13:02:00.000+08:00

lalallaa! sawadee from Phuket!

raining cats and dogs on our last day here, not that we really mind cos we were planning a nua day ahead!

lovely island hopping trip yesterdae, dear dear finally got to see nemo upfront..and we even saw DOLPHINS!

and yesh i love the private jacuzzi i have! and the cheap cheap beer! cheesecake's not too cheap too, and we have to walk miles when the craving hits =P

and i have NOT been shopping! how abt tht?

and i m on leave tmr! maebe a haircut, and a lunch date. shall see. woohoo!

2006-07-26T17:07:00.000+08:00

Am jetting of to Phuket in 24 hours! *flies*

Looking forward to the sun sand and sea! lotsa cute bikin-clad babes and hunks! flaunting my cellulite-dotted butt along the beaches! soaking in the love in our very own jacuzzi!

now let us ALL pray hard hard that my beloved bloody cycle comes AFTER the 30th k? i promise i will give all my dear frens a huge makan treat if i m spared the red tidal wave during my BEACH holiday. i promise i will be a nicer person, bitch less and give more generously to charity-box-toting kids on weekends. and to shop less and save more money (so that my dear dear will pray hard hard for me too). pray hard hard k? MUAX!

yawns. 10 mins to knock off...and just 25 mins to seeing my dear baby! and its MAMBO tonite!

2006-07-24T16:39:00.000+08:00

2006-07-20T15:13:00.000+08:00

THE interview ended in 10 mins. blardy 10 mins!

she did say she likes me.

she din ask me a single finance-related question. (and i had this whole blurb ready *frowns*)

she told me the pay is good.

she told me to go back n read up abt the company.

she asked me if i could design brochures.

sigh.

will i have a 2nd airtime with her again?

argh i so hate rejection. or rather the possibility of rejection.

was walking through far east sq (or one of the squares), sipping Mr Teh Tarik for lunchie.

wonder how its like to be working there.

i quite like the adreneline rush, the spring in everyone's walk.

we'll see.

CALL ME!

2006-07-20T09:44:00.000+08:00

damn hungry damn hungry todae.

nearly ate off my fingers on the mrt, and had to pray hard that the sounds of my hunger pangs would not permeate the cabin.

i suspect its the pills i m taking to postpone my silly bloody cycle this mth. bleh. all in the name of frolicking in the sun.

it is some hormone which apparently tricks my bloody cycle into believing that i m pregnant!

woohoo.

means theoretically speaking i will feel the need to eat for two??

muahahhaa.

gg to research for my interview ltr. feel bit sneaky, with my entire portfolio and blazer tucked into my bag. lunch with friends, i cooked up a typical excuse. yz wass even funnier. he said i shd tell them i m gg for friend's ROM.

i hv a feeling they will b horrified at my lack of numerical analystical skills. whatever. shall take it as a chance to polish up my interview skills!

and maebe i will tabao tomato soup to feed me n mini me!

muahahaha.

dear dear's 4 th day in camp. woohoo. means he is back in my arms tmr! i hope all the hot-bloooded chicks fresh from JC keep their hands off him. i taught him a psycho twitch to ward off all shrieky girls. i miss him. though i hate to admit it. bleh.

2006-07-18T11:01:00.000+08:00

got myself an interview for thur lunch *frowns*

alls good except i know nuts abt the industry, and they want me to do research again.

bleh.

crossing my fingers its not some shitty sales job. *pray hard* n not offer me diploma pay for long hours.

but this might be my first baby step towards big money!

we'll see.

2006-07-17T15:11:00.000+08:00

i so miss blogging!!

but then again i m lazy to actually organize my pictures. i have so many unposted pictures! and not exactly in a rambling sort of mood.

...

so i shall blog in POINT FORM! muahaha.

been up to quite a far bit of stuff..

went for the SHAPE run yesterday! no joke okie, despite its rather lack of credibility ("wat?? only 5km??' went my bf, who thinks that a real big fat sweaty run is nothing less than a half marathon..) the goodie bags were great..and i am one dri-fit bright pink nike tee + 1 black nike water bottle + 1 baby blue nike towel richer! and dat's not including the 5 bottle pack of vitagen, loaf of bread, yoghurt..and the list goes on! all for $15 bucks! but fine, the SHAPE run is really all about running. most definitely. and i quite shocked myself by finishing the run, rather effortlessly. i thought i would hv to be carted off in an ambulance or something., but i arrived in one piece, and in pretty decent time: 39 minutes! not too bad mah! maybe i can try 10km next =P

(guess who's the office bitch. hmph.)

my hp died! drowned it in hoegarden on fri nite :( it gg to costs me either $50 or $200+ to repair it, as corrosion is not covered under warranty *frowns* if its gg cost em abomb, i shall just get a new fone *heart pain* for the time being i m stuck with a Nokia 8250. yah dat blue light one. sigh. pray for my fone!

nxt thurs i will be jetting off to phuket! Happiness :) say aloha to my private jacuzzi, sun, sand and lotsa yummy seafood!

gg to sign up for corporate Cali fitness gym package..a $37 a mth for a year! ahhahaha. drool people!

on a rabbit food diet. lunch is gg to be rabbit grass with balsamic vinegrette and tuna. bleh bleh. give me back my pasta!

gg to meet theresa ltr. tralalala. n prob throw in a slow jog ltr. tralalala. i miss my dear dear!

2006-07-13T15:58:00.000+08:00

On a happier note...

How cool is this?!?

pissy colleagues or rather, colleague.

2006-07-13T15:16:00.000+08:00

i dunno why but i m feeling pissed.

i have a really anal colleague. REALLY.

she sent me an email to tell me that gst should be written in caps, like GST.

@%43$@%

" GST needs to be in caps (sorry, me being anal)."

and yah u are damn bloody anal.

2006-07-03T15:39:00.000+08:00

Chekc out the gua-lan expression on his face!!! who doesn't like a bad boy? who doesn't like a BOYISH-lookign bad boy!?!

back to reality, a little update on my life...went holland v with dear dear on friday nite for dinner! was planning to sneak in a few happy hour drinks before heading back for Germany Vs Argentina action..but we met The Bengs at walas! so coincidental! bitched over loads of beer and fried chicken wings and pizza...but only managed to catch half the match cos dear dear was withering away! but neway the match ended in penalty bleh.

and dear dear bought me a pressie! HEE *wide grin* now i can't bear to wear it at all. HEE.

2006-06-19T16:22:00.000+08:00

i am so in love with World Cup!

i think i can watch wrold cup matches continuously. just give me a bag of sin- Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles, lotsa cold drinks (beer is most certainly welcomed) and an aircon room with plenty of nua-able space.

jacq and sebaz popped over for an impromptu session of world cup ogling @ dear's place on sat nite...and we all sinned over beer, nuggets (20 pieces!) and fries, and GARLIC-FLAVOURED PEANUTS. everyone say..EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. what went wrong with the Peanut R&D team?

and last nite i was bundled up watching soccer with dear dear again. hahahaa.

and i lost money CONSECUTIVELY over the weekend. blah. but hey i think betting a few buckeroos makes watching the game more exciting! just that i start getting real pissed at the 80th minute when there are no goals at all.

and we celebrated Tresa's birthday on Sat! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRESA BABY! and heehee we were at fish and co and the staff made her stand on a chair while we sang her a birthday song!

gyming with yan ltr. HAHAHAA. we are gym bunnies! so cool.

i wanna watch world cup and not work. bleh. i so hate it when there's nothing for me to do at work! 3 months of mad-cap working, non-stop groups and reports and meetings AND groups and reports and meetings...

2006-05-03T14:52:00.000+08:00

Reading the papers over the past few days about the Singapore Election coverage has left a bitter taste in my mouth, and led me to raise my eyebrow on many many occasions.

In all honesty, reading the papers gives me the creeps about the P*A*P.

(at this point of time i start worrying...if i am gg to get sued/ thrown into jail/made a bankrup by the all-powerful lee family. so i went back and put asteriks inbetween the letters. hahahhaa. i am such a loser.)

u try to get a little piece of the pie, and they will squash you flat, like a little worthless ant.

stop the big hoo-ha over the Gomez issue oh-please. so what if he is a great actor? so what if he lacks credibility? so what if he was wayang-ing all the way? you show us the facts, and leave the judegment to us. don't try to brain-wash the entire Singapore population by hogging the media reports pls.

and even Mr Goh joins in the fun by suggesting that Chiam See Tong is too old, at 71 to be running for elections. especially against the 42 year old Sitoh fella (i only remember his unique surname. honestly, the P*A*P bigwigs are stealing the thunder from him man). How briliant. someone remind him that his beloved president and mentor are both too old then. Let Sitoh speak for himself. let him fight the race if you feel he is man of excellent calibre with the capabilities to win back Potong Pasir.

and it's highly inappropriate for the labour chief to come out in the open and say that if the opposition gets voted in and approaches him about jobless residents, he will decline to help. However, if his comrade gets voted in and approaches him with the same problem, hr will move "Heaven and Earth". sheesh. a primary school kid can tell you that is selfish behaviour. this is fast turning into ugly school bully behaviour. definitely not promoting a climate condusive for a worthy opposition voice in the government. plain communist!

and stop using upgrading/ healthcare/ blah to coerce people to vote for you. everyone pays their taxes right??

and reading this makes me feel even more strongly about how communist P*A*P! so it is against to report about rally turnouts. and ironically it's becoming hip among the young crowd to check out rallies. specifically OPPOSIOTION rallies. one ex-colleague went to one yesterday. was impressed by the sheer number of people who turned out, and even went home happily bearing a tiny party flag and wristband. and another colleague's heading down to another opposition rally today, to hear what they have to say.

gg back to work. pray for me friends, that i don 't get dragged off to jail. start worrying, when i dun reply ur smses, or disappear from MSN!

2006-04-26T23:29:00.000+08:00

was the last time i updated my blog like eons ago?!

aniwei i am still alive and kicking, probbaly with a bit better skin cos i have been religiously scrubbing and masking my face with the wonderful red-wine mask from heeren. twice a week. yah i dun exactly have much of a life now.

my weekdays are sooooo standard now.

wake up -> go to work -> buy cup of $1.20 Hans coffee -> knock off work (these few days have been scarily slack...i bet this is the calm before the blardy storm. and my paper work is piling so high i m getting lost behind it. and ISO checks are coming. SOS. i need to hire a PA for $5 an hour!) -> go home -> watch 9pm show on channel 8 -> switch to Da Chang Jin on Channel U at 10pm -> read mag/ novel/ do mask -> 12MN sleep.

throw in the occasional supper and twice weekly driving classes...

dat's my unhappening weekdays now :(

watever happened to my chilling out sessions!? a good cold beer to drown my work blues on a wed, listening to EIC at bala????

SIGH.

i hate the big notion of saving. seriously. i m gg to give my entire paycheck to my husband next time i swear. no kidding, though i doubt i will be earning dat much after all. and he can issue me a monthly allowance. i cannot imagine having to handle my money, and someone else's money. can die. i tink i will end up splurging every single cent on frivolous fashion items and put fried eggs and luncheon meat on the dinner table. give me an allowance anytime.

SIGH.

aniwei something which makes me damn bloody happy is the upcoming long weekend. and since i took 5th May off...and 8th May is a office-declared hols cos of elections..>DOUBLE HOORAY! and TRIPLE HOOOOOORAY cos i tink 3 days later...we have another long weekend! i love Mays.

and i wan the NTU exams to finish soon. i am actually considering writing to SBS to give some feedback on they way they are educating their students. they are practically chruning out mega-memory human beings from their school. they have to commit to memory the most bizarre biological pathways and absurb bodily processes. they have to soak up gazillions of acronyms and chemical terms which comprise of both the english alphabet AND numbers. do they actually excpect them to remember every single detail till they lie in their graves at the end of their nobel-prize winning career? DUH. reality checks brilliant brains. welcome to the world of open book exams! i am sure with some creative manipulation u can avoid scoring by plain copying right?

YAWN.

anyway back to my point of NTU exams. basically my whole point is that i miss my dear dear.

BOO.

2006-04-12T15:40:00.000+08:00

2 of my colleagues say i look like someone from the the Victorian era todae. Specifically they said i look like queen elizabeth.

and my boss said i look sweet.

muahahha.

power of wearing those floral lacey feminine blouses which are just in trend.

and lunch with bernard made my day alil' happier...albeit the terrible teh peng from Ya Kun.

lalala...prata supper beckons! and engaging in online shopping with Yan now..shopping for birkies hahaha.

2006-04-12T09:12:00.000+08:00

sigh been buried under work recently.

next week's gg to be worse!

and ironically, i actually sitll have energy after work to crave supper or a bitching session.

alas! life is sad. work turns everyone nua.

thanks god for the long weekend!

Plans so far:

Wed nite: supper with mindy! (yesh i know its not exactly the weekend yet but heck i need a bitch.)
Thur nite: shopping? dinner? i shall pester mindy!
Fri: pedicure with Theresa!
Fri nite: dinner with the Hall gang! so cool even BOON KIAT is coming. wah.
Sat morning: advanced theory. aiyoh means need to mug
Sat nite: Boon Lay nasi lemak final outing with tresa? maebe i can jio yongzhi too..the CAR people.
Sunday: snooze and read up for work..and learn driving!

MONDAY: pray for me frens. it's my moderating debut! with 3 freaking groups squeezed in a day! from a notoriously demanding client. thank god its something close to my hearts...hahaha

dear dear's starting exams come tomorrow..keeping my fingers crossed that he will do well :) attempted to be sweet last sunday by whipping up a feast (comprising of 2 pathetic dishes) but alas! it turned out to be a magnificent disaster :( i tink i can only cook ang moh food, ala spaghetti or baked rice. bleh. maybe i will try again this week. HAHAHAHA.

back to work. ding dong!

2006-04-05T16:52:00.000+08:00

madness at work for this entire week! and its only gg to get worse i suppose..

stayed back till 10+ last nite to settle stuff...and there are 3 groups tonite! a maniac rush everywhere..especially when the groups tonite are not normal...there's food tasting and we have to microwave bowl after bowl, boxes after boxes and shrimp wonton, prawns, thai curry and god knows what. and it has to be at a temp of between 50-60 degress before it can be served...AND it can't be exposed to air after cooking if not it will after the damn texture! argh.

only consolation is the client from Thailand is drop-dead gorgeous..i mean reaaaaali boyish-cute-actor-handsome kind. i swear he is a taller version of Utt, with soft brown eyes, rosy cheeks and the height too! AND he speaks in an american accent! even my usually logical married manager is bowled over. wahahaha. yums.

just ate 3 mini croissant to destress. *burp*

ironically, the busier i get, the happier i am. i like getting caught up in the flow of things..though it gets me panicky at times..but i relish the feeling of being flooded by emails, working till late, and gg home right into bed after a good shower. perhaps its the sense of involvement, the sense of empowerment and accomplishment..

nah i changed my mind. i dun tink i can take 10pm+ late nights for 3 months consecutive. i think imight just go hay-wire in office.

another 10+pm night again in office, with a subway sandwich for dinner. i miss my dear dear!!!!! even after graduation i hate the exams, cos i cannot legitmately stick to my dear dear like super glue. 3rd May quick come!

2006-03-30T23:43:00.000+08:00

On MSN...

bahhh says:bahhhhh

Time for a comeback : Looks like it may not be italy *sobs* says:bah

my 2 frens whom i hv been insisting are made for each other

SEE MY POINT???

how many people go BAAAAAH when hello-ing people on MSN?!

DESTINY LAH.

2006-03-30T09:06:00.000+08:00

small things sometimes perk up my day!

like how our group email has exploded to over 38 mail replies for a single Rawa reunion proposal *smiles*

so much that i had to start a new email to make things easier!

maebe having such emails circulating ard is a good way to keep in touch.

and waahhhaa eric's excluded form the circle of trust for some strange reason.

aha! i found THE reason. cos we are planning for his bdae mah.

wahaha.

friday quick quick come! i m dreaming of mushroom pizza, wings and meatballs at walas again. BAAAAAAD. cos walas trips are not exactly that cheap. and aiyoh there's the last episode of the 9pm cheena show to catch!

and did i ever mention Hans coffee is actually nice? not cheap for kopitiam standard (its a buck) but its real smooth and good! no siap-siap taste!

and mommy's gg to sydney and adelaide..and asking me if i wanna go along! i smell a free airticket AND free accomodation cos my family clan is there! AND free food cos no decent auntie and uncle will make me pay rite? and delicious shopping at factory outlets...alas she is gg end may/ early june, which means i can't take leave, cos colleauge is flying off to europe. boo. let's see how. maebe i can sneak dear dear with me in my luggage, and then we can go drink free wine at all the Jacob Creek wineries ard adelaide till we get high high HIGH! wah tink also make me happy..

and i m gg to get a new bag on this weekend! shd i? shd i not? mindy help!

goooooood day at work, cos moment i popped into office, a client confirmed a project. a client i dun mind working for (and in 3 years time i will be an AVP and decked in prada from head to toe and giving out gucci coin pouches for x'mas!) sigh i shd have staudied harder last time and gotten a first class honours so all the banks will come hankering after me.

back to work!

(wow i just realised in barely 5 mins i typed this long and rambling post!)

2006-03-27T16:22:00.000+08:00

sigh monday's here again...

completed stage 1 of driving on sunday...which means from this week onwards its on the roads all the way woohoo! and booked advanced theory for 15th April...hopefully i can get a license by June wahaha!

Mindy and me are thinking of turning into gym bunnies. *knits eyebrows* i am serious. boardhsorts getting tighter. not good at all if i m gg to jog down the Phuket beaches in my white bikini in July. thank god the gym's next door gg to open this week! first, we are gg queensway to stock up on yummy gym wear!

also revived my love for simpang bedok yesterdae...thriving lil' supper hub there..with good roti john, n i heard the chicken wings are good too! my new aim: to drive dear dear there for supper! wahahhaa.

starting to watch Full House..and actually i cannot fathom why people are so nutsy over Rain. perhaps its bcos i was never really crazy over guys wif hot bods.

neway check out my huge retro-fako-celeb shades! wahahaa.

DUN LAUGH OK. i like them even though they make my nose jackie chan-big.

counting down to knocking off work...Yawnz. Campus Superstar tonite!

2006-03-21T09:14:00.000+08:00

been so busy, that i haven't had time to update!

did my pedicure and cut my hair with the girls on sat..and then tresa came to my place to do mask! hahaha. vainpot saturday.

drove for the first time on the road on Sunday! *happy* actually like driving on the roads more than in the circuit...i just cannot seem to navigate the bends properly within the circuit.

training at 10am ltr. again.

boss not ard this couple of days...having training in KL and soaking bubble bath in her Ritz room! and she says the service there is whoa whoa...liek they no longer have teabags and kettles in the room..cos all u need is holler n they bring steaming tea to ur door step.

need to complete my report..

and target to finish my theory trial test by dis week! just 3 more online lessons to go!

only thing to look forward is gg to Walas with mindy this fri. her virgin trip. muahahhaa.

and then i m hooked on campus superstar. i m so morphing into an auntie. but i so like the M3 Zhiyang guy from Hwa Chong! he sings so well, has this really gong-gong grin..and yes, i agree with the judges when they said his gf would marry him if he sang like that to her. *swoon*

and dear dear forwarded me an email with a horrifying 18 days itinerary. trekking in the himalayas. and i wrote back to tell him mindy and yan's jaws would drop and stay glued to the ground for quite some time.

but after some surfing ard, himalayas does seem to be quite breathtaking.

nice hor? and i wonder if they have sheep in the mountains? and it's surprisingly quite cheap too! (assuming there's nothing i can buy there too..yah) maybe we will go. if i ever survive this, bring it on man! white water rafting, bungee jumping...anything!

got to start burying my head inside the report leow. tata!

2006-03-15T17:26:00.000+08:00

saddening. my colleague's last day :(

and one of the nicest ones in my team somemore..and she sort of mentored me and pulled me along the way when i was crumbling under blurness. i dunno if age makes people more sentimental..but i am quite certain i felt a slight creep of tears when reading her farewell note to me.

"Eat moderately, try to exercise and watch those pills u're swallowing! Don't EVER succumb to corporate conformity!"

Take care too :) i will miss u.

2006-03-15T11:30:00.000+08:00

listening to cheesy and happy songs helps to lift my mood by heaps.

not just mambo songs lah. like the song from Shrek 2, Accidentally in Love :)

and silent singing to Jay Chou songs. yesh with facial expressions and exaggerated lip movements throw in, in the safety of my office cubicle. makes my anger evaporate.

shifting seats tmr. bit sian. seems like i'm gg to hv a loss of privacy.

hope and pray people dun catch me blogging!

2006-03-15T09:44:00.000+08:00

i m DAMN pissed.

with myself, with the blardy driving school and the traffic police.

trekked all the way down to blardy YCK this morning, to get the PDL.

and guess what? the dumb malay woman told me i had to bring my specs along.

wtf?!

in all honesty, all unimaginable swear words were going thru my head at that point of time.

means i need to trek back tmr morning to that blardy place again, and trek back at NIGHT for my class.

save me.

to make my license worthwhile i shd jolly well buy a car to drive after i get it. a tiny nissan march will do.

on a happier note, if i ever get my damn license and lay my hands on a car....it will finally be my turn to drive dear dear ard :)

till then, i am in a freaking bad mood todae. ROAR.

2006-03-14T09:50:00.000+08:00

lalalalala!

been a million yrs since i uploaded pics!

last sat my dear mindy aka the speech therapist treated me to Hog's Breath on her first pay ehhehehee! if she marries a doc....i will get to eat this everyday hoho! love the steaks there...thick and succulent..but do NOT order the pathetic calamari!

and then we went for a chill out session at Timbre! me, mindy, dear, joy and her frens...and yongzhi! finally heard Ublues live..but hehehe i m still a die-hard EIC fan! gg to drag mindy down for a session at walas 2 weeks ltr...wowwee!shall grab more pics from Joy ltr..incase i risk looking like i went on a date with yongzhi alone. ahhahaha.

and the Kuishin-bo pics from a zillion yrs ago! great nite of bitching and gorging on food..yummy!

seriously, we need to have more of such sessions..but *sigh* everyone is busy on every other day..me included..boo!

and ahahahah i ahve been going bit crazy over red-wine masks...go out and buy one! they shrink my pores and make my skin smoother!

and i hv been searching for nice comfy shoes...finally found a gorgeous Camper-lookalike pair..but alas..its a tad too tight if i m gg to wear socks..boo...and there are no sizes left...

will u buy a pair of super nice leather shoes at $59 which fit u perfectly, but will be too tight if u wear socks with them?

sigh. the dilemmas of life.

2006-03-13T09:19:00.000+08:00

feeling groggy :( bad start to the week.

i hate it when it's that darn time of the mth argh! doesn't help when i've not been sleeping well, waking up at odd hours like 3am. head is almost cracking..help!

and i have a farewell for a colleague this wed nite...i know i risk sounding cold and heartless now...but mid-week entertainment is not really me now. especially when its a nite of dvds and playing taboo. yawnz. but since she's my fav colleague...i shall git my teeth and bare with it.

sigh. team has shrunk to nearly half its size. even my fav colleague's gone!

another week to seeing dear dear again. double boo.

frantic driving lessons starting tmr. need to get my PDL done, if not my instructor's gg to kill me! i keep getting the same guy..wonder why.

might be gg Phuket in july...Hooray!

or its the scorching weather...

2006-03-03T09:27:00.000+08:00

LALALLALA!

it's...FRIDAE!!!

neway porn videos seem all the rage now. (wat's wrong wif these people??)

there's the infamous Tammy one.. (hello i tink i m the last person on earth who hasn't seen it. after hall life, my circle of filthy-minded frens have dwindled to nearly zero. i mean, if i was still in hall, i can imagine like the file flying everywhere.)

and yan was reminding me of our hall 9 scandals in the past...the infamous S*****Y one (plumpish guy wif ang mo slang????) and the live broadcast one..

and my dear dear told me there's this exchange student's video lurking ard! and they got upclose and personal with her at..HALL SUPPER!

okie, dats more than enuff porn talk for a morning.

am learning how to wake up, automatically at 710am in the morning. freaky. u know how old people dun sleep alot? and wake up at unearhtly 5am for strolls in the park? sigh. that's gg to be me in 5 yrs time. boooooooooo.

drinking grapefuit juice now! my colleague told me grapefruit juice makes u skinny/ helps u lose weight/ something along that line. (and it matches my orange MNG snoopy tee! *bimbo shriek* yes Mango sells snoopy tees now! a weird match it may seem.. but watever...i like snoopy..!)

and i did bring my hp to work todae. boooboooo.

and i m wearing makeup to work todae! think this is the...2nd time? aside from my verrie first day of work, when i painstakingly dolled up in the name of personal grooming. hahaha i m not as big a vainpot u imagined rite?? i DUN wear makeup to work. a combi of laziness/ unwan clog my pores/ no one cares/ no cute guys in office.

long rambling pointless post. but it's FRIDAY!!! so everything goes!!!!

p.s.: sadness. working till 9pm todae. wat bloody friday is this?!?!

2006-03-02T08:55:00.000+08:00

*burps*

2006-03-01T09:24:00.000+08:00

SURVEY JOB UPDATES!

must be able to commit mid to end March, preferably at least 5 days a week
working 6 hour shifts, from 7am to 11pm (can request i think)
Pay (the good part) is $10-$15 per survey completed!!

*p.s. might only be suitable for the slackers out therE?

from my experience the survey's not gg to be those one-pager (erm yah using common sense...NO) probably like 20 pages with millions of questions. but if u happen to ask the Bengs who did the tiger beer survey wif me, they will say its FREAKING GOOD money. cos u will end up scurrying thru the questions, and be sitting somewhere la-kopi most of the time. NOT that i am advocating this, but...wahahahhaa.

beep me if u are still keen bah!

2006-02-28T16:36:00.000+08:00

GOOd PART TIME JOB LOBANG!

anione ready to commit from mid-end march?

Survey jobs at changi airport! good pay, relax job and in aircon somemore!!!

2006-02-28T10:22:00.000+08:00

i am so proud of myself today :)

and yesterday, i felt like a little princess! i love it when he turns up at the most unexpected moment, just when i was thinking abt him..

bz bz bz bz weeks ahead. sigh. i m dreaming of holidays! tokyu looks damn good (tickets only $500! accomodation for $300!). then there's the coach bag ZY's gonna get me from NY. sigh sigh. no more shopping for a long long time.

assuming i save $1000 every mth..i shd get $4000 by May?

aiyoh.

that will just be enuff for my travel plans! i mean i can't go to toyku and not shop at all rite?

its hello kitty land!

pray i can get leave bah.

but actually, i m praying harder, that THE emails start coming popping in.

2006-02-27T09:13:00.000+08:00

went for my first driving class on sat! and i get a high from driving! woohoo! and i m actually looking fwd to my next lesson, which is todae!

got to actually drive the car ard...the steps were abit mind-boggling..but after a while i got the hang of it! thank god i didn't opt to drive a manual car.

AIM: to get my license in under...4 months! the idea of driving to visit dear dear wif supper when he is burning the midnite oil...and driving my pals ard! wahahahaha!

auntie me wanted to go buy 4d...1401. crossing my fingers that it didin't open now hahahaha.

and then there was Walas on friday nite wif the guys! i simply relish such gatherings..cos its so difficult trying to gather everyone! even nua-nua bernard came! now u know i have been complainingabt u neglecting us! boo! too bad tresa was too bushed to join us for walas...

rare photo pic wif my dear dear...lo and behold!

yan., yongzhi and joy! chk out yongzhi's shirt! got it for him from bangkok...CORRECTION: rc made me get it for him, cos its soooo yongzhi!

the squashies from hall 9! heheheh. actually i really seldom see such a clique emerging before after playing together in ihg...they make the effort to meet up, tho' not verrie often. hopefully they will cherish this workof fate, and keep the friendship going, no matter how different their eventual paths may be :)

had a realli goood weekend i must sae..and did i mention i attempted blading on sat too??? i think i nearly pulled mindy's arm out..but i know u love me rite? and after that we gorged ourselves silly at bedok market...AGAIN. hahaha.

bz bz bz week ahead. will be checking my mailbox faithfully. pray for me!

2006-02-24T15:16:00.000+08:00

lalalala!

back from my bangkok trip wif dear dear :)

and surprise surprise!!! i din buy alot of stuff! went wif one tiny luggage..came bk with one tiny luggage! got a dress i love (which he claims to look like every other dress i hv..), 2 skirts, a super cute pringles bag, couple of tees...and that's abt it!

thank god its friday oredi...dying in office from brain freeze. STILL doing note taking. career going nowhere at all. so much for climbing up the corporate ladder. i am not even moving. hence, with too much hands on my hands, i sent out 2 job apps. pray for me!

dinner wif tresa tonite! and the prob walas. sigh sigh. lamenting to yan that its getting harder and harder AND harder to meet up. what pisses me off, or rather saddens me now most is when u send out mass msgs..and people start bombarding u with stuff like.."who's gg?" "let me think abt it" "confirm wif u ltr". sigh. even i m guilty of this sometimes. perhaps the desire to meet up is really wanning, as all of us get caught up in our own lives. perhaps it was the proximity and convenience which really bonded us together previously.

and the more time passes, the more cynical i get about human relationships. not merely romantically-tinted ones, but all in general. i guess a relationship which can withstand the brutality of time and distance is really hard to come across now.

on a happier note..i m starting driving classes tmr! i get a free treat if i pass my first class hehehee.

shall plan more holidaes to brighten up my mundane life. tokyu or italy? cheap cheap air ticks to tokyu...but i can leech on my fren in italy! but i doubt dear dear will be verrie high abt the italy idea...cos my fren is (1) male (2) cute (3) tall. u get the idea. whaahahaha.

2006-02-18T16:23:00.000+08:00

hotel nearly screwed up my reservation. not funny at all when i m reaching BKK at the unearthly time of 11pm.

am gg to call them again, just incase.

2 hours to nap and pack up...

and as requested by my yan baobei...

pls do this

and

this

pls do not be overly cruel. i would rather live in my little happy world and believe i m smart and clever. hohoho.

2006-02-15T15:52:00.000+08:00

walked past Change Alley GG<5,>

*wails* but i didn't get anything!

was in a hurry to get bk office..and the top i tried (had my eye on it for longest time..now 50% off!) didn't really fit well..

sigh.

working till 9pm todae..how to go????? darn.

...

had a verrie bizarre conversation with me and myself on the way to work todae.

internalized of course, and not out loud.

that crushing feeling. when even the tears refuse to budge, to relieve u of the wrenching pain.

flashes of panic, paranoia...

...

dear dear was remarking, that i no longer put alot of sweetie-pie stuff up on this blog animore.

not a conscientious action on my part.

just that some memories are more precious, when they are just being shared by u and me.

...

one day, when i grow old. i shall sit down in a beautiful place, far away from the madding crowd. and write a novel.

...

found an adidas duffel bag just now at novena sq, gg for 30% off. shall ask dear dear if he wans to share it with me :) actually, i just want to get it for him..but i think he will be more receptive...if i make it sound like its for us both.

...

love ya, .. ... muacks :)

2006-02-13T11:51:00.000+08:00

I'm in love :)

so cute!!!!! stumbled on this puppies for adoption ad while surfing ard...

this one is called ms snuffles...

this one is Patches!

unbelievably cute! that i emailed the owner for more details :)

and my verrie first oreo cheesecake attempt :) for the special one...

and he likes it! hehehhehehhhehe.

2006-02-13T09:04:00.000+08:00

i must have been a man in my previously life.

a reeeeeeeali romantik one.

hohohoho.

2006-02-11T22:35:00.000+08:00

it's really getting from bad to worse.

from the moment we step bk home, it starts all over again.

what we should be doing.

what we should not be doing.

that we are disappointing.

that we are worthless.

what happened?

it's so painful...that even tho' deep inside i m hurting, the tears do not flow at all.

2006-02-10T09:35:00.000+08:00

"The world works in funny, funny ways sometimes. I suspect it likes to turn around and bite your backside just when you think it's safe to bend down and pick a bar of soap." ~ Xiaxue

muahahaha. this ger always manages to crack me up. who cares if people think she is a foul-mouth stupid lian with fake eye-lashes? i love her blog!

and then there was another blogpost (http://potatomusmaximus.blogspot.com)
..which strangely, brought a teeny weeny bit of tears to my eyes.

....

He was the first guy who made me feel desirable and wanted, because he soothed my insecurities about myself (fat, lardy and all).

He was the first guy who made me feel totally carefree, because I didn't have to worry about anything.

He was the first guy who truly put my heart at ease, because he never did anything to rouse and overturn the jealousy pot in me.

He was the first guy whom I waited for to get off work, because I simply wanted to see him (TSY remember not.. we were at Suntec's fountain - in the end also never see).

He was the first guy who made me feel I was loved, because he truly showed his care and affection.

He was the first guy who made me feel princessy, because he gave in to all my whims and cravings (even going all the way to Marina South to play arcade, which ended up in us getting lost in this stupid maze in the dark).

He was the first guy who made me feel safe, because he proved that he would, and could, be there whenever I needed him.

.....

so blardy sweet :)

damn TMD guy shd go to hell, whoever's fault it is.

and i have come to this realisation, with the help of age too, that u only realise alot of things when it has been condemned to a past tense.

for how certain a measure can u reach, when u are immersed in the present? its only when u look back, then u can conclusively heave a sigh of relief, or sob tears of regret.

perhaps its time to cherish the one next to u now bah.

that's what i tell myself too.

but sometimes, bleh its just so hard. for more often than not, we are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

3 hour Lou Hei Lunch @ Oriental Mandarin!

and i swear its one of the yummiest chinese course meals i have ever had in my 23 years of life! everyone shd go and blow their money on a meal in Cherry Gardens. i swear its damn good!!!! Crystal Jade is nowhere near its standard!

the Yu Sheng with super fresh salmon!

i could taste chunks of sharks fin in the soup (vs the usual slivers..), wasabi prawns was to die for...the oysters were humongous...and i even liked the glutinous fried rice!

i'm even consideringbrining my parents and dear dear there for a realli good dinner. that is when i feel abit rich lah.

ohmigosh. its hall cny dinner in like 3 hrs. bleh.

and i got a craving for boonlay nasi lemak!

help!

2006-02-09T09:57:00.000+08:00

I am no longer the only person in Singapore who hasn't been to MOS!

(* psst psst* tresa i made it there before u! :))

Finally went to MOS yesterdae!

(But i swear a clubbing lifestyle does NOT gel well with a 9-530 desk-bound job. was dyng once the clock struck 12mn, in true cinderalla fashion. and i snored in DL's car all the way bk tamp...thanks ger for the lift!)

and of course...first trip there must take alot of pics! i m not the biggest photo whore k! cheeyong was frantically snapping everywhere!

in the loo! suprise surprise..there's more people in the loo than out in the dance floor. super hiao man the girls. all snapping pics and curling lashes in the loo. i also super hiao lah. ahahahhaa.

but i quite liked the decor!!! wins Zouk hands down, esp after their terrible frumpy revamp. check out the egg-shaped hanging chairs in the retro room! i like! but that was all i liked abt the room. too tacky for even a retro person like me, complete with a changing colour panel dance floor.

my fav room! whatever its called! but its all white...and has GIANTIC bean bags! and realli cosy lil' cubicles for people to cuddle up muahahaha! i like.

an and me lurrrrveeeee the giant white bean bags! u can dive and disappear into them!

yah dat abt sums up my virgin MOS trip...and i doubt i will develop a craving for the place. or perhaps its a sign of my coming of age....give me walas and my hoegarden anytime!

p.s.: they dun sell Hoegarden in MOS! bleh.

p.s.II: 2 cny meals todae...2 lou-hei! can't wait to go bk hall..my numero one fav place :)

p.s. III: i am hooked on Wang Lee Hom's Forever Love!

2006-02-08T09:03:00.000+08:00

a sinful Hans fried egg and ham sandwich breakfast, coupled with my all time fav teh-si, realli helped to chirp me up alot.

and of course, thanks dear dear :)

dinner last nite was good...and i hoped i managed to convert mindy into a Menotti person! had my all-time fav lagsane, while she had the baked eggplant version..which was equally yummy! tiramisu was good too!

back to work. prolly dropping to tPY for a spot of lunch time shopping ltr.

2006-02-07T22:51:00.000+08:00

it's this weird concoction of frustration and fear, tinged with a lil' sadness.

i don't know what's happening, but it never used to be like this.

or at least, u never used to b like this when i was little.

perhaps things do change, when u grow older.

and u realise, things dun go ur way now, just because u shed a few tears.

2006-02-07T09:21:00.000+08:00

i really see myself gg nowhere.

blogging and msn will not make me smarter in the long run.

and i m starting to feel retard already.

maebe it's time to do something.

2006-02-06T15:46:00.000+08:00

There was a lion dance in my company todae!

abit duh, but at least it helped bring a whiff of excitement to boring office life.

and i tot this was pretty cool! they arranged the oranges slice into a dog, the chinese character "prosper"..and 4 lucky numbers! go buy 7783 now!

survived my verrie first Surf and Sweat, tho' am suffering from achy arms now boo. lesson learnt: got to build up my stamina if i dunwan to come in last again! bleh. realli enjoyed myself yesterdae..and disappointingly the beach was not flooded with bikini babes and hunks. the men were either disproportionately hunky or white and flabby, and the girls were only blah. saw one drool-worthy girl only....and tonnnes of hormone-raging NS men! hahaha. and there's a tinge of pink on my cheeks now...healthy sunshine surf babe glow muhahahah!

yesterdae nite dear dear got the same fone as me ! D500c! he traded in his dying fone (for a whopping $100! i wonder how the starhub technician checks the fones..), and with a $100 voucher..the fone came FREE! good deal!

got lotsa stuff to accomplish this week!

collect bracelet
do a pedicure! (the skin on my feet is totally yucks)
do a facial (but need to wait for sun-kissed skin to recover first..)
CNY dinner bk hall
CNY company lunch (on the same dae!)

and someone surprised me over the weekend:)

totally sweet.

2006-02-04T17:06:00.000+08:00

i hate it when relatives come to my home for dinner.

HATE is an understatement already.

it drives my mom absolutely nutty.

cos she is so bent on creating the perfect family for all to see.

the moment i stepped into home, she ranted on-stop at me.

and warned me not to ignore my cousins.

WARNED.

and to PLAY with them.

tell me how do u play with cousins who are like 15 and 19???

seriously the instructions alone turn me off totally.

and she's also shouting orders at my poor daddy.

we even bought a bloody table for this dinner.

why can't we just be normal?

i think by trying so hard, it defeats the whole purpose of having a heartwarming family dinner.

its barely 5pm now, and they are coming at 7pm , and my mom is forcing us to shower and dress nicely NOW.

yes, for a family dinner at home, i must dress nicely, so that i wun be a disgrace.

my saturday is ruined.

2006-02-03T11:26:00.000+08:00

being the pigs we are... of course we pigged out at the wonderful buffet breakfast again. hehehe. BAAAAD. mindy feels like we are treated like princesses...which is actually so true cos...

we decided to be cheapos and take the hotel shuttle bus to Pratunam again to attack Indra Sq...and guess what?? the shuttle came in a form of a MERC! muahaha. we were erm pretty overwhelmed i would say. decided to tip the driver...was 50 baht bit too little?

then we shopped till we dropped at Indra Sq and Platinum Mall! so full that we skipped lunch, and just survived on a liquid thai ice milk tea diet....checked out Plaza 29 where they have super cool earrings..and plenty of cheap manicure places! see mindy's new 15baht earrings below! i ahve them too! in the butterfly and cherry versions hahahaha.

then we headed down to MBK again.. and ate dinner there! at the food court recommended by a friendly cab driver! had a spread of tom yum gung, paad thai, carrot cake and oyster omelette..and mango sticky rice! i swear te oyster omelette is damn good...check out the GIANT OYSTER below!

aniwae this is also the food court where some Singaporean woman ate pork knuckles and kway chup and died later. aiyoh. scary. i even saw the kway chup and remarked to mindy that dear dear likes it! aiyoh!

and the buys for the day! Platinum Mall has some really good buys! the pink floral camisole below, with a pretty beaded necklace thrown in...is like 4 bucks singapore dollars? cheap cheap! and the shirts are ard 6 bucks as well!

and then i bought like a millions pairs of earrings todae! just when we were lamenting we didn't manage to get a single pair cos it all looked too cheapo..we stumbled on this treasure grove Plaza 29! muahahah. but aiyah, can't seem to upload the pics. bleh.

booked my accomodation for feb leow! staying at Hotel Ibis Siam Bangkok...some brand new budget hotel under the Accor group..hope its good! it just opened last friday some more! hahaha.

p.s.: anione wans go hk with me??! in aug/ sept?? its only 120 bucks per person, 2 way to Macau with tax!!!!!!!! and a 2 way boat ticket to hk costs only $50-60...oh so cheap!

and then..since it was Sunday..we trotted off to...

and yesh, before long, we were having dinner again!!!! at COCA steamboat! beats MK hands-down i swear..more value for money too! will go bk again! 4 thumbs up!

and then after dinner...we went to Khao San Rd! i like this place..lotsa backpackers' inns...pubs lining the streets..and angmohs doing dreadloack along the roads!

and we found a gem in...banana prata drizzled with condensed milk and chocolate! AIYOH its orgasmic i tell u. aiyoh.

and that abt concluded day 2. in retrospect, seems like we went to realli many places in a day eh? hehehhee. and of course..i bought alot too!

i like the brown bag (8 bucks!) and the minnie tee! (5 bucks?)

and our fav buys for the day!!! i love the orange tube dress (which i actually bought the day before..and worn to chatuchak...) AND THE MATCHING NECKLACE which i got fr ctc! looks like a set yeah? and we got 5 puma/ adidas jkts from Khao San Rd! nice hor?

*dreams of shopping, eating non-stop..*

and in preparation...me and mindy had thai food for dinner last nite! at Marina Sq...Jerk-Thai's not too bad! quite reasonable too! before that i brought mindy for her virgin facial hahahaha.

we had tom yum soup (which numbed my poor throat), green curry (strange eggplant-like veggie inside), yummy pineapple rice and kangkong!

then we went to starbuck to stone the nite away...while i waited for dear dear to finish his steamboat dinner...

and we had our fav tiramisu!

Spent my New Yr Eve having a cosy evening, bbq-ing at dear's place. check out the amt of food we had! i woke up at 7am to trek to his place to go to the wet market okie!!!

The man setting up the bbq pit....realli one of our best buys in 2005 muahahha..wonderful for small bbqs!

and i couldn't help but get these two cuties for dear dear :)

and i baked pineapple tarts for the first time in my life!!! and they are reallie good, melt in ur mouth! eating the tarts is akin to striking lottery..cos for some,the pineapple filling is stone-hard, and for others, it is soft. heehee.

and did i mention i just had an uber long weekend??? took leave on thur and fri....and tmr's a public holiday too! but i hate the sense of loss which hits me when i get bk into office, and frantically i try to pick up the loose ends...

and i have a busy week ahead! busy but happy hehehehee. i need to:

wrap pressie for gift exchange tonite
wrap pressies again for office (did i mention how i loathe giving pressies for the sake of giving. just so that i dun appear like some meanie!? i mean...some of my colleagues bought 70 freaking presents for the office! i mean..i know the bonus is ard the corner...but dun u have better things to do rather than give 70 frivolous keychains/ hp pouches/ photoframes/ earrings away? i would rather buyer larger and nicer presents for my reallie close chums who have been thru wif me thick and thin! but bleh, i caved into pressure and bought hello kitty marshmallow and cookies for them.)
Office X'mas Buffet lunch on tuesday wow wee!!!! (which means i m gg to be vegetarian from tml onwards boo)

2005-12-09T08:55:00.000+08:00

I am back with PICTURES!!!!!!!

and i just realised the prob lies with my uploading of non-camera pics. even in the .jpg format, those pic i downloaded from the web cannot be uploaded...why?? no idea, i m not that tech-savvy bleh.

so i shall upload pics from a zillion yrs ago!

Pepperlunch with Tresa and jacq!

Tresa is excited cos she finished her exams and has not stepped into town for a million yrs! ehehee.

my only air stewardess fren a.k.a. supplier of Coach handbags, LV wallets and cheap cheap makeup in the future *bats eyelashes innocently*

and oh yah, i met up with the air stewardess-in training again yesterday for dinner and shopping. she really inspires me to shop man. i bought a truckload of stuff even before 830pm, after which we planted ourselves at Pastamania and bitched our lungs out. i shall not furnish details on what i bought..but hey some of the stuff are for my colleagues! u know those silly gift exchanges?? and yeah i bought hello kitty marshmallows to masquerade as goodwill x'mas presents for general people. i m way past the stage of trying to be nice and sweet to the whole world...wats the point if u cannot even appreciate the people u hold closest to u?

and yeah..aside from bitching jacq and I shared some inspirational thots. maybe i will. maybe i won't let's see if i can dig up pictures bah muahaha.

and my colleagues and I went mad the other dae....and we all bought cactus! including a phallic-looking one for my boss. hahaha. to wish her luck in her erm bedroom life. ahhaaha.

and i want to migrate to australia! no irritating, ugly black crows who shit all over my head!!!! check out the harry potter bird outside my dear dear's hostel room! sooooooooo cute! this is one bird i wouldn't mind having ard...as in not as a pet, but as in if he appears ard me i wouldn't shriek and die. and yah, provided he doesn't shit on my head.

shd i empty out my bank acc and shower all my loved ones wif nice nice pressies? now i need to know if i m gg to get a bonus! i wan to get my daddy n mommy something nice.

and anione who wans to get something nice for me, can just head down to the Gucci sale and get me a wallet. the green one or mandarn orange one is fine, and i will prefer a coin compartment thank u.

2005-12-08T09:44:00.000+08:00

i hate blogger! i can't upload any pics to my blog *wails*

perhaps its time to get my own domain. bleh. then i have to brain storm for a domain anme which is available, quirky, easy to remember and me. fifi_falala.com sounds bit act cute rite?

i need to rave about ORIGINS skincare. every single female should just run out and load up on the good stuff they have. i m officially a fan! the Clear Improvement charcoal mask is sooooooo good, especially when u follow up with a hydrating mask (side track..The Face Shop's mushroom mask is wonderful! cheaper than my suual Neutrogena too!). The Modern Friction is wonderful too...apparently its "Natures Demarbrasion", so it helps to scrub away the dead cells to reveal baby-smooth new skin! really good and brightens up ur dull skin immediately! and i love my Origins moisturiser too! but bleh, skincare hurts my pockets deep deep. but its better than looking so old that i get mistaken as someone oldere than my age right? and to side track again...i get a weird high when people express shock that i m already working, esp when i trek ard in my ah-lian minis and halters on the weekends. wow-wee.

i need a dye job badly. all the damn white hairs are peeking out. maybe i will get highlights this time!

and i am gg X'mas shopping after work! finally a day when i get actually leave at 530pm...cos been rather busy past few days with work....need to stock up on X'mas pressies! and i m gg to pop by the Gucci sale heehee. no i have no funds to invest in a wallet or anything...but incase really verrrrrrie nice and verrriiiiie cheap rite?? maybe i can get a x'mas pressire for myself? but then again, i jiust realised my new fone is oredi an early x'mas pressie for myself. bleh.

and mindy's coming back on 22nd December *somersauts* i m gg to welcome late-night suppers of bak chor mee and pratas and teh pengs wif open arms! and finally i m gg to have a silly-antics buddy!!!!! think dear dear's gg to be grateful that she is coming back....so i will have someone to indulge me in my silly MNG sales and watever :)

another boring blog post. WAKE UP BLOGGER! i need my pics! or else i will have to dig out my dusty old flickr password. i hate digging up passwords! argh!

2005-12-07T15:54:00.000+08:00

ANYONE ARD IS A MANGO MEMBER?????

i want to go for the MNG sale preview too *wails* someone bring me!

and darn, still cannot upload pics on my blogger, wonder why.

and incase u haven't heard.....go n book ur hols on Airasia!! the tickets are freeeeeeeee! so u are only paying for tax! even cheaper than taking coach to malaysia ah!

2005-12-06T11:24:00.000+08:00

i just realised i have the world's chioest fone MAUHAHAA! wats so great about the hot pink Razr V3? my fone...is black under normal circumstances..and to my delight this morning...it has MIDNIGHT BLUE GLITTERS under the sunlight! no wonder its called midnight blue on the box. heeehee. i like.

2005-11-30T09:04:00.000+08:00

Dinner wif tresa, theresa and lijing! and the disappointing shisedo sale before that bleh.

supposed to go for the shisedo sale...well i did, while waiting for theresa to come, i decided to take a peek inside..i literally walked in at 6pm, despite "reports" that it would take an hour to queue to get anywhere near the stuff. felt verrie lucky ehhehee, and it was not overwhelmingly crowded. But the mad women jostling for the products (and hello, its all like outdated stock with dirty packaging and all) started trampling all over my feet with their heels! and may i emphasize that it was a fat woman who trampled on me wif her heels. basic physics will tell u the immense pressure on my poor feet. i exclaimed aloud "you are stepping on my foot OUCH" and gave her my filthiest look...and guess what? she shot me a "DND my shopping spree" look. wtf?!

and by 615pm when theresa and lijing descended at Orch Building, i swear a queue appeared out of nowhere. i swear there were at least a hundred women in the queue..waiting to morph into foot-stomping maniacs inside. and being the supposed victorious woman (i survived and came out wif my purchases!), i stood them, dispensing advice to the women in the queue. "is the sale good?" "any skincarE?" in the end, i convinced theresa and lijing that it was def not worth queuing na hour to get in, since impulsive shopper me only managed to get an ettusais makeup base ($10) and 2 ZA eyeshadows ($6)

then we shopped ard somemore, before tresa came and joined us for dinner at Thai Express! i swear we were famished and dying of dehydration...and we gobbled down our dinner under 20 minutes i think muahhaa.

me and tresa!

lijing and theresa!

on the way home i tormented tresa wif photo taking!!! but quite nice rite? and the sweet tresa baby accompanied me to wait for the mrt train!

and oooOOOOOooh!!! i must show off my purchases of the day!!!!

i got.....

X'mas head gear!!!!!! rudolph ears wif JINGLE BELLS!!! cute rite???

i like :)

EVERYTHING. whihc may take like an hour??
