After so long...

I haven't seen him for ages, he still looks the same as before...
It's good to see him again after so long.
I can see that he's doing fine and i guessed things are on the right track now for him.
I didn't ask much coz we were both rushing for time, we didn't talk much, juz a simple "Hi", "How are you?", "Such a coincidence to see you here!", "How's work? Can cope?"...

It has been a roller coaster week for me... Going up and down, twirling here and swinging there. I hope this feeling will fade away asap...

Words...

I had a argument with him last nite... Yucks...

Well this morning when I was talking to my mum, I realised I have this real annoying little habit - I scrutinize every word that comes out, chop up the sentence and use it to "attack" the speaker(if there's any dicrepancies in your sentence).
Guess that's why no one likes to speak to me that much.
Then on my way to work, I asked myself this question, "Why am I so anal about the words people use?", "Why am I so particular about what others say?" I really don't know why.

To my friends who are reading this, "I'm sorry if I have offended you with my words in any ways."

To you, "I'm sorry for the argument last nite, it was totally uncalled for."

************

Well, moving on...
My last day with XXX will be on 24 Aug, another 6 days to go, 4 more working days!

天空突然一片辽阔
原来你是真的已经离开我
在我不熟悉的世界过新的生活
闭上眼让泪水滑落
此刻你已真的永远离开我
在另外一个没有我的世界
自由的走

*******************

自从那天起，我们变得很陌生...

A: Do you know what kind of snacks CEO likes to munch on during meetings/discussions?
Me: No idea.
A: Pls go ask his personal assistant(PA) then.
Me: Ok.

Ten minutes later...

Me: He likes those swiss rolls from XXX.
A: How much is it?
Me: About $12 for a box of 2. We can get a 6 boxes and that will come up to $72+ for our 20pax meeting. Abt $3.60 per pax.
A: Woah, that's very expensive!
Me: Well according to his PA, it's very nice and it's good for afternoon snack.
A: Hmm, better not lar. I think $2 per head will be good enough. Buy some fishballs or sugar rolls from Polar bah.
Me: Huh?! Erm ok.

It's funny how my managers think. You want to please the big boss up there but reject all ideas on doing so. WTF?! Since you already have in mind what to buy for the meeting then why bother asking CEO's preference? You ask already but don't buy...

Glad that I'm leaving soon.

Moving on...

Well, it's about time for me to move on. I'm glad that I made it! Time for me to start packing my stuff, I juz can't wait for the day to arrive.

Joke of the day!

It's 6.55pm now, about time for me to leave the office and head home... But before I do that, I need to tell everyone the joke of the day...

A: Would you please file this documents for me?
Me: Sure thing!

After 15mins of searching high and low for the file (I dug thru my DD's cupboard, I cleared my Manager's desk and my own drawers juz to be sure) but nope, juz can't find it... I took a wild guess and went to A's cubicle, THE FILE IS ON HER DESK, JUZ INFRONT OF HER!

Faint! Why the fish did you ask me to file that piece of document when the file was juz right infront of you?!?!

The day you pass me the file together with the docs for filing is the day I will throw the farking LETTER onto your face! Remember this, moron!

I think I'm going insane.

Medicines

My body is all screwed up, I feel like a pharmancy with all these medicine I'm taking...
Erythromycin for my pimples.
Ponstan for my cramps.
Pot Citrate Mixt and Norfloxacin for my UTI.

There's something good happening tomm, it's either I make it or break it... Wish me luck ok.

Cab fare hikes. Well guess I won't be taking cabs as often as I do now in the near future anymore. It's time I stop spending money so lavishly. A dollar more during peak hours, ten cents more when you board a cab, shorter distance for every ten cents.... So when is our bus company gonna increase their fare? Very soon, very soon...

I wanna watch Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest!

To you, a job is what pays the bills. You put in your hours, follow the rules, and then go home. Occasionally, you consider quitting, but then you think of how bad the job market is and you reconsider. Whatever happiness you get, you get from your life outside the workplace. Relationships, family, hobbies, and outside creative pursuits are what really matter to you. You're probably taking this test at work because you don't have anything better to do.

Had a quick chat with my mum this morning. Came to realised lotsa stuff are waiting in line for me to attend to. Shucks! this is no good. Suddenly my 'good' morning doesn't seems to be that good anymore... More burdens coming up!

***********

Anticipating for some new changes... It's time to move my lazy ass and get down to work... Guess I have say goodbye to my Gucci bags liao...

***********

I guess I'm lost sometimes, I dunno which way to go or which direction to head to.

Finally have the chance to update my blog... Well I have been rather busy for the past few weeks, supporting my bosses with their events and stuff...

I finally bought his gift! I hope he will like it.

I'm dying to get my hands on the Gucci bag I've been dreaming about... To buy or not to buy?

Gonna get some facial masks for my mum, hahahaa she saw me applying one last week and she's kinda interested to get some for herself..... Good! 女人到了五十岁也要懂得保养，不可以变成黄脸婆！

And how we laugh and how we smile
And how this heart is yours and mine
And how our dream seems to be out of reach
I will stand by you, you will stand by me
We will take each day and make it shine
We will write our names across the sky
We ride so fast, we ride so free
And I knew that you had me...

有些事还是眼不见为快，耳不听为净的好。

Time for some changes...

I miss you...

I have always wanted her to be happy... I believed that a better guy will juz come along and sweep her off her feet...
But I realised it was me who took away her that one shot for happiness...
That's five months ago but I'm still feeling guilty about it...
We used to be such good friends, buddies and confidante...

才知道你脸上的微笑
不是幸福代表
是种不自在的礼貌
才知道感情已经动摇
我一直被误导
是你还不愿意揭晓
太多谐恼怪我们不懂得抛
太多的问号答案也都不必找
只换来疲劳忘了要一起变老
为何要无话可说
才懂沉默比争吵难熬
为何会在恨消失后
爱还是挽回不了
为何要在疼爱我的时候
才对我说离开我
都是为我好

Maybe ST will know what's happening...

我们都要为自己所说的，做的，负责任。

It's 6.46pm now. I'm still in the office.
Nay, it wasn't a busy day for me. Serious...
Juz doing some filing before I leave the office. I'm in fact filing some docs that are dated 2000-2004... And these docs are from an ex staff who have since left my office. Listen to this... She was from Dept A(which is my dept)then she moved on to Dept B and stayed there for a year or so, guess what? The stuff I'm filing are from her when she was with Dept A.... Wah piangz! Bloody Bit*h! Can faint anot! Cannot do simple filing izzit, Bit*H! Now I have to dig out all the old files, de-filed(I invented that word) all the papers, insert my copies in and re-file according to dates all the ones I de-filed earlier. Confusing ya?

I hate that woman who hanged up the phone on me without saying byebye, AGAIN!
Suck*rs! What's her bloody problem? No manners. Can die lor!

I need a miracle!
God, pls grant me my wish(as at now)!

What more can I ask for?

Thanks for getting the delicious "siew mai" and delivering it right to my office. I really appreciate it. I honestly have no idea that you would actually take the trouble to get the stuff from GWC and travel all the way to my office, I'm very very touched!

2 more days to our 5th month anniversary!

I love you...

I saw the advertisement for my dream job last week. I applied for the post a couple of times before but the furthest I went was till to round three then KO-ed. Up to now, I still have no idea where I went wrong or what was the deciding factor that got me booted out.

I'm 25 this year, not young anymore.
Was it my complexion? Or was it because I juz don't have the look that they are looking for?

They are having another round of recruitment this coming Saturday... But I won't be going coz the disappointment of not being selected is juz too much for me to handle. :(

Our behavior is define by the different roles that we play, different environment we are in and different responsibilities that we must shoulder.

Role as a...
- daughter to my parents
- youngest sis to my elder siblings
- girlfriend to him
- co-worker to my colleagues
- confidante to my friends
- law and order abidding person to the society

*****************************

I feel like taking a day off and visit the beach but looking at the weather, it's hard to predict if it's gonna rain or shine...

Do you realise as we grow older, we have more problems to solve? MOre issues to deal with? More responsibilities on our shoulders? More burdens to carry?

Welcome to adulthood!

On a lighter note, I just got myself a new mobile phone! Motorola V3x!

Sometimes when you get suck in by all those crappy love songs, you tend to forget about the reality of being in love...

******************

I have a friend who needs to spend a lot of time knowing the person who's wooing her before she can accept him as her boyfriend. Better still is for them to start off being normal platonic friends first.

I need to spend a lot of time konowing the person before accepting him/her as my friend/buddy. Maybe that's why I have so little friends.

*****************

I have this sudden urge to chuck everything aside, run free and be away from EVERYTHING...
Easier said than done...

How come I'm always the one who is doing all the work? Bear in mind that I will get tired of all these.

Random Post

I went to town with my guy last night. My initial plan was to collect my ring, which I sent for polishing, and dinner. We still had an hour to spare before heading back home so we just walked around Wisma for some window shopping. Window shopping? Hah! I ended up with a pair of quarts from GG5 and 2 pairs of shoes from Mondo. Total damage: less than 100 bucks. Woohoo! This is my first time getting 2 pair shoes under 100 bucks! My friends who have went shopping with me before would know that I don't usually splurge on shoes unless they are of good quality and they don't usually come cheap. BUT last night was different, I was amazed that the shoes I bought(they cost abt 30 bucks each) are so cheap and nice-looking. I think I have changed a lot......

2 years ago when I was still working with a bank, I used to spend a lot coz I had more spending power. I didn't even bat an eyelid when I bought my $200+ black suede heels in 2002 which I wore it to work even on rainy days. Whenever I have extra cash, I would reward myself with something "Branded", be it stuff from LV, Gucci, Burberrys, shoes from Ninewest, Tangs & Co or even the latest mobile phones in the market.

In 2004, I quit my then-job and became a civil servant. Things changed....
With a pay cut and less spending cash, my lifestyle totally changed. Yes, I might be still carrying my Guccis, LVs but the difference is those are the bags I got before 2004. I no longer buy stuff just for the sake of rewarding myself, I only buy the essentials, the most basic stuff I need. I spend 1 month thinking and considering if I should get the $40 black cardigan I saw at U2! I'm still using the same mobile phone I got it 2 years ago. That's me for now, I can't simply get everything that caught my eyes, I have to go thru this long evaluating process, "To buy or not to buy". One thing never change and that's my taste for shoes. My shoes still cost a bomb but I limit myself to only 1 or 2 pair of expensive shoes in a year. So that explains why I was so amazed by my 30-bucks shoes I got from Mondo, cheap and nice! I'm so proud of myself.... Well, just for last night.. Hehhehehehe

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Q-Life Crisis

I woke up this morning feeling exhuasted. Then I realised it's already 7.30am! I quickened my pace and dashed thru my usual morning routine of washing up, choosing my work attire for the day. I stood infront of the mirror in my makeup room and put on a bit of makeup(coz I meeting my guy in the evening for dinner). Face done, time to blow dry my hair. As I stood there looking at my reflection, I realised the look on my face seemed abit jaded. "Heck it, I'm running late for work - I have to get outta my house NOW."

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. You give and take equally in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

How Are You In Love?

戴佩妮-----防空洞

还记得那一次你将你的手
小心的放进我的口袋轻声的说不要颤抖
还记得那一次你擦干我的泪
还坚持将我低下的头紧紧的贴进你的胸口
我有多久没感动过若不是你那么强烈的保护我
若不是你的那一句你有的不多
却愿意把最好的都留给我

你要我住进你心里的防空洞
不让无谓的思绪暗涌
再多分扰也都没有用
你决定了我所有的喜怒哀愁
你把我带到一个停泊的港口让回忆可以避避风
仰望着夜空听潮起潮落
为你我不在向往着漂流

The Birth Order Predictor

Juz a random post...

I'm working with a neither big nor small organisation somewhere in the city area. My organisation consists of 1 big shot - CEO, Dy CEO, a few Directors and many more others -> Deputy Directors, Assistant Directors, Managers and officers blah blah... Supporting our big shot and the Directors are their respective PA(personal assistant), we have got 5 of them.... Due to the nature of my work, I have to deal with the PAs quite often, I have to check their Bosses'(the Directors) schedule so that I can plan for some time-consuming, long-winded meetings. I always treat the PAs with my utmost respect and I'm always very polite/courteous to them coz I know it's unwise to step on their toes or piss them off in any ways... Out of the 5 PAs, there's this person that I have the most problems working with.. Lets call her Ms X.

Ms X is currently supporting 2 Directors and these 2 happens to be my division's Directors so I have to liaise with her even more often. I dunno why but there will always be some miscommunication between us whenever I have to check the bosses' schedule. There will always be incidents whereby I have trouble getting the required from her(she's always late in reply my mails and when I call her to check, she always reply that she needs to get back to me later and not at that moment). Take this morning for example, she called and asked if the meeting for this week is still fixed at 4pm when I have told her that it's changed to an earlier time slot. She replied saying that there wasn't any confirmation email from me or my boss, I guess my boss didn't CC a copy bah... Then she continued saying that we should inform her earlier so that she can plan the boss's schedule and blah blah... Haiz, another communication breakdown again? This is getting freaky, why does it always happens to her? Maybe something is wrong with my phone or my lotus notes(email)? See case proven!

To sidetrack abit, the other 4 PAs are really very nice and friendly ladies and I enjoyed working with them.... From my personal view, Ms X doesn't belong to that category at all.... She is friendly but too friendly that it comes to you as being fake. The feeling is juz weird..... Too weird for me...
