i got snappy

i took up the DBS credit promotion @ Cathay. a special prize for 2 tic, 1 drink and 1 popcorn.

the staff said they will serve the food to me when the movie starts. AND I DIDN'T GET THEM EVEN THOUH IT WAS ALREADY ONE HOUR INTO THE MOVIE!!

i was so pissed coz i was really looking forward to the popcorn AT THE START OF THE MOVIE!! i dont want them at any other time other than at the start of the movie. people just dont START eating popcorn in the middle of nowwhere in a show!!! at least me.

and the worst thing is, they didnt even sent it on their own accord. it took my bf 2 trips of out the cinema to ask them to send. i was even more pissed that their lack of service interruppted my bf's viewing coz he wanted to get the popcorn for me.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. then i did something i shouldnt have.

i got mad at the innocent panda. eh. yah. so another public apology for you from me.

i got mad at him coz he brought the stupid popcorn to me, when i was already mentally preparing to ask the staff to justify the incident to me. i wanna my money back! not the stupid popcorn in the middle of the movie!!!!!

anyway, i will never let them to offer to send the stupid f&b to me every again.i will just take myself!!!

at least the show (IP MUM) was good! 5 stars! donnie yuen portrayed the character well. the action was not exaggerated. it was real and breathe-taking and makes me wanna send my future kids to learn chinese martial arts.

the jap foodie in me

some friends & business associates has commented that i looked skinnier.

but no worries. i am still the foodie that you know me to be. i still eat a lot, a lot of variety but little in qty. i just eat lesser when i have stress. anyway, i visited 2 good jap restaurants recently.

the first one is the teppanyaki restaurant in Jurong Point. no need to mention names since i am unpaid to do so. whahahaha. anyway, i was seated at the teppanyaki table and thankfully no oil splattered on me.

the lunch set meal consisted of shitake mushrooms and garlic bread.... and also garlic butter rice. VERY fragrant. very nice!!
we also tried their soft shell crabs which is really quite value for money though i dont think its crispy enough. at least they are still reasonably fresh.

the bean sprouts look very delicious n platable for some reason next to the chicken.

conclusion: very value for money (for me) coz i finish abt 50% of the entire meal. cost me less than$20 for eveything above. me n colleague simply loves a good leisurely meal when the time allows...hahaha.

friday night, went to true spa for a complimentary foot spa teaser session. i call it a teaser session coz they tease you with what they can do and not let experience the whole complete session. i went with BF n he hated the attas setting. well... its all abt selling packages, it is actually quite cheap considering its $20 plus per session for 122 sessions per year.

the consultant said to finish the package within the original time frame, you need to go there 5 times a week. i WILL definitely take this up if i work in Ngee Ann City. i will just go there during my lunch break or after office hours!!! too bad i dont:(.

after that, we went to this quiet Jap noodle house near Cuppage. they have a roaring business even though they serve only 5 types of ramen and 2 types of side dish. they are authentic jap ramen makers!

even though there is only 5 choices, my bf took a longer time in choosing his dinner.

the decor- soft lights and japaese portraits.

serving coke in glass- i like.

the main characters of the night...

conclusion: i think its definitely better than ajisen. the char siew is so soft n tender! The soup tasted like its has been boiled and stewed for many hours. the noodles is very chewy, very QQ. the portion generous- even my bf the panda cant finish 100% of it. very fulling.

the pic makes me crave for the soup again!

xmas 09

xmas is just an excuse to spend during the festive sales. tho it is a religious holiday, it seems like everyone is "celebrating"it no matter what race, creed and religion one is originally from.

which is Great!:) we r a society which exemplefies racial harmony anyway. the spirit of giving and sharing is one everyone ought to know in life. i like shopping for prezzies even tho i often give presents which ppl dont like but i like. huh. haha. yah thats the truth.

this year's lights seems pretty mundane...

we tried to take a pic with the lights behind but block all of it away!

me in nerd specs...

n we were caught in the shop by the sales assistant ...

us after our shopping trip. truly, we are such shoppaholics.

this xmas, i caught a show called Twilight and it made me go GAGA. R.P. was sOo handsome!! *drools.

yes, i still feel like a teenage girl at heart.

the spirit of giving

there are pros n cons when the bosses are not around. we had a leisurely lunch while i cant get something 2 b approve>,<.

speaking of the leisurely lunch which we had at bugis, we had the Worst Bubble Tea ever! it is worse than Sweet Talk. they make the taste of Sweet Talk Bubble Tea taste as though it costs $10. 00. imagine how bad was that stall near the Bugis Village was! the pearl was soft & gag-inducing. the more you chew, the more you feel like puking.

should not haven been lazy and just walked back to SW if to feed my bubble tea craving. >,<


the cleaning auntie told me the insider news abt the company before the official email was sent... we gotta have a xmas present exchange! i forgot if we will be having half-day. the email also states some banned items e.g. body wash & mugs. we are supposed to get creative. -.-

the best thing abt xmas is the symptons of xmas and it is the four letter word which i love so very much! S A L E !!!!!

even though buying prezzies is a hassle but it is a nice feeling to know you are getting your loved ones something. the spirit of giving is overwhelming! isnt it fortunate that we can be in position to give?

over

my degree programme is over! 18 months of my life, slogging over projects and essays... blink n it went away just like that.

my mid year appraisal was just over too! my boss remarked that i am not an ambitious person. if i do not aspire to be at a higher level, i do not need my degree.

how practical is that. but everyone is entitled to their own opinion though i didnt agree with hers. i want to be qualified before i grow to be ambitious. anyway, these 18 months were relatively short and painless. i am enriched with all the concepts n theories which i am hoping to throw in my bosses' faces to wow them.

anyway with my degree classes over... how should i maximise my time? what classes should i take?

i love shopping- "photoshoot"

firewire is gonna have a group calender and everyone has a photoshoot. mine was a shoppingqueen theme. even tho it was taken with pro lens, friends has said it looked like i cam whored. but wat can i do seriously man?? as least it was a nicely taken cam whorish look. hahahahaha.

clothes , bags , makeup and props and accessories and pose all designed and brought by model herself. heeh.

this must be the first occasion when teckie looks more demure than me, when i have a monkey face while she doesnt! i can see the shadows which are being cast by my falsies!!;D

we were also contemplating to do a foodie-theme as well. BERY MII!!

we still manage to squeeze a birthday present opening ceremony for AH HO!!!:)

this is taken in terminal3!! imagine me a woodlander travelling so much. which reminds me, those poor holidaying people who were stuck at BKK's airport. those poor people who were holidays in Mumbay. there is no wrong that they did except be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

even more so for the young lady who had so much in front of herebut were sacreficed in the senseless moment for terror. it is blood chilling to know how effortlessly those people killed. are they people still?????

in any case, i am still wishing for a holiday!

i dun believe in people appearing at wrong time and wrong place. i only believe in meant to be. however tragic that it was, it was meant to be. if not, why is it that bad stuff happen to equally innocent and promising people when nothing differenciates me from you from them.

R.I.P

now- recess...ion

i love recess when i was young and in school. heehee. spent it payling hopscotch or five stones or eating and people-seeing in canteens.

anyway, now, everyday- the papers mentioned RECESSION. so do my bf, too. recession is depressingly scary- people lose their jobs. we should be thrifty. bleah bleah bleah. but the point of recession is that the economy is shrinking coz people aint spending- there is a lack of economic activity! vicious vicious cycle.

the rich should just keep spending please. preferably they should spend on the poor, but since when anybody understood the term "charity" in favour of "hendonism"??

the poor should be thrifty. the rest of us in between should spend only if we can afford. the last point being what TNP columnist advocate and i totally agree simply becoz

i am such a spendthrift. i am love buying cheap things! i am stil counting down to a holiday. its time to wind down WIND DOWN!

though yesterday was a pretty wind down day. my bff actually told me she tried to apply for a HBD flat n was rejected coz she isnt 21 yet. LOL. n then went to watch Magadescar 2. cute show! i also am anticipating Monsters VS Aliens more! the tralier was damm good. :)

honours n honoured n dishonoured

got a mail tht is inviting to me study for honours. one year in perth. will be damm shoick and this is yet another chance to study n live abroad. but since it takes 30k!!!!!!!... y get myself in debt SooOOO much when i can have a choice.

anyway. i had yet to finished my last sem. god knows how my last sem will turn out. maybe i wont qualify afterall?

i didnt managed to meet my deadline. there r times my boss ask me, why i haven do this or do that. but aint i suppose to proritise??haix. luckily my suppliers can help me. they stand to gain financially. why not right.


ytd, met an annoying cabbie who used to be in sales-FMCG. he wasnt armed with a degree... so he was slowly kicked out of the industry n has been out for 10 years. i wish i wasnt in his cab.

dear cabbie, my not takin any effort to make any sales pitch to you does not mean the pdt is lousy lor. it means my sales pitch IS lousy and you didnt manage to differenciate that. anyway, i cant be bothered to pitch to u-.-/ u aint remotely my target audience and i dont like talking to you one second longer than i have to.

instead of tellin him to shut up, i just kept nodding in agreement unethusiatically. i take pains to avoid conflict when possible. i thought when there is nothing to argue about maybe he can just talking abt OTHER stuff. but he kept going. he intepreted my lapse in response and unenthusiatic reply as an attitude toward my job n pdt rather than taking it as a sign of a lack of interest in a one-sided conversation.

he thinks he is so much better coz of his wealth of experience. but those experience has been outdated. bleah. is obsolete experience ever valuable?

GAH!!!

lucky?

i guess there has been one thousand and one person who has commented that i am in a "lucky" position. the latest to do so is my...GM!

ahhhhhh. i hope i am not abusing my luckiness. anyway, the launch event was one mixed with wet weather and battered feet. my poor feet! lol. walking up n down the 2 stories need amazing endurance and strength.

speakin of feet, i am really a shoe-poholic!!! every1 has a weakness guess mine is shoes n bags. i got 2 pairs of shoes mended by a shirtless highly educated cobbler and bought another pair in town. very indulgent, i know. lol.

crestfallen

i am been a bad bad girlfriend. i had been putting my friends and even colleagues above him!

it was agreed that i will bring him to the james bond gala premier but i last min am going to bring my gf cause i am eager to matchmake her with my AP boss. such a natural occasion for them to meet is just too good to be true n how can i just let it slip and wait for another god know how many months?

he was absolutely crestfallen but he being the nice guy he was supposed to be, just said OK. ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. i am sorrrrrry. i had apologized to him one million times. i still feel VERY bad.

me being, an aquarain, just somehow puts friendship above love, more often than i should. even tho friendships had hurt me more often than love. even tho my love now is treating me way better than friends.

anyway, gala premier is this Thur and the press launch is this Wed. after this, life will be way more normal.

i am been stressed. bery stressed. my mama is screaming at me to stop "dieting". erm. i am not like... dieting u know. but its just so stressed and hectic that i tend to eat lesser. n the junk food i eat at large volume, doesnt seem to register on my body... (yet???)

or is it because of the caffeience i take? afterall , my heart does beat faster and i feel adrenaline pulsing through my veins more often. then again, maybe those were the times, when i realized i did something wrong (again) and the adrenaline rush comes as i scrambled frantically and madly for a solution to make myself look less bad.

GAWD!!!!!!!! save. me. from. myself. pleaseeeee.

success

today i could laugh and smile and joke loudly and carefreely.

yesterday i could not.

yesterday, everyone had worries and fears about me not up to the standard as an engaging presenter to 100 store managers. my boss could tell that i was presenting for the sake for presenting. i was finding premiums , half past six premiums, for the sake of finding premiums.

yes , she is right. i had no heart in doing those things and it was unprofessional of me. if i did not have the passion, i am not a true marketer yet, in her opinion.

well, the truth is... i didnt ask for any opinion!!!! haha. just kidding. but anyway. her opinion didnt stung me. in the end, much like my friend, my work is just a financial transaction in return for my work done. yes, to some extent, i have passion for my work. if not i will not stay pass six to finish up things just cause you say so. if not, i would not been stressed abt stupid visuals and stupid strip ads.

but, back to the store managers meeting, which every1 was feeling jittery about. it was like a make-or-break session , coz this is the first contact point the store managers would have with our brand.

i guess, we had a good start. we gave them drinks, large bottles of not-cheap smoothie at that. they must have felt pleasantly surprised. I had every1's full attention and appreciation, i guess. hahahahaha.

to present and to engage, just flows naturally from me. yes, i was being tested on situational improvising becoz the flow of the presentation had to change due to the crowd response. guess i did well enough since no one commented anything negatively. i passed with flyin colors! my GM says next time got any similar shd sent me...eh...?!

what does this proves?

i can do it if i want to. so there! keep being positive!!!!

but i could never did it "well" , if my boss never spend some time, half a day in fact, to train me. i owe her loads!!!!!

i have pictures too!!!! just not here with me right now.;)

no inclination towards housework

i dont have any experience with housework.

my lack of household chores expertise surprises many. they appear incredulous even. i guess what runs through their mind, is something along this line-you coming from a small and not-rich family has no maid wahht. so how come you r so "unskilled"??

geeeee. my mom n dad spoilt us. that is why. even though we r maid-less, my mom treats us like kings n queens and we nvr had to do lift a finger. even though we can. i love my full- time housewife-mama!!!

but. i know i will be doing those household chores sooner or later. yet another skill which i dont have any desire to achieve. the other being... driving.

psychotic week

one of the most pyschotic and laborious week. due to lack of budget but still want quality, you cant believe the level we stooped to. lucky my boss also helped. if not i will just resign n drop dead.

Faced a psuedo democratic boss. not that it's wrong. it's just fake.

Possibly launching another slow moving SKU. why i look down on my brand i also duno. just doesnt make me excited to think this is or this might be launching.

which reminds me. i am such a flat and non-engaging presenter. its just psychotic la. i am NOT excited. i decided that i shall be as fake as i can and see what will be their comments.

loads of things to reflect upon.

at this point of time, i feel unbalanced coz my pay and my commitment shown are inversely propotional.haix.

on the bright side, i am the sole organizer of a media event. AND THE MEDIA ARE RSVP-ing!!!!!!!!!! woohooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! keeping fingers crossed that they turn up of course.

a burst of goodness

i feel llike work is consumiing me and i just... feel life should be more than that. maybe the path i picked for myself is just forcing to find out whats my limit and i just have to deal with it for 3 more months.

to all workaholic- life is more than work. truly.

anyway, i had a burst of good mood and i turn into a shoppaholic when i have good mood. hahahaha. it just comes... slipping into my emotions though it didnt last very long, coz the next day i have to work anyway.

and when it comes to work, i always have things to worry about. just so pyschotic. haiz. i wish i am adam sandler. i just want to fast forward to which ever period of life, when i finally earned and accumulated enough of good karma and wealth to sit back and enjoy life. or at least fast forward those learning-as-u-fall- incidents... that r painfully embarrassing to my professional image. hahahaahah. as if i am a professional.


what can i do. stay calm. keep cool. at least i have a superb mentor/boss and colleagues to guide me. really, if they just let me do it all by myself, i will say i will be a headless chicken.

pisses everywhere

loads of shity and pissed-off thinggy happened. i shall not bother to recount it except to thank God/mighty powers above, that he/she had to give such heart-aching incidents to experience.

some people are demanding. on the flip side, they r just mad and psychotic.

my supplier tells me that he cant meet my deadline cause msians are on holiday. then what? my fault?! since i am your client, arent u suppose to help me???? pretty please???

feel like murphy's law is on exhibition within my line of sight. i feel so suay. i feel like i need to change job. i dont want to look at the same visual again.

anyway, met up with Evon and had a pleasant shopping trip in bugis. i love bugis village. i hope it stays the same even with inflation and recession. i bought. again. and again.

i am such a shoppaholic even my new class mates can tell. zzzzzzzz. i cant help it.

anyway, she broke up with her eligible bf. she is bouncing back pretty prettily. so things end. things only end so you have a new beginning. what is there to look forward to after an ending?

A new fresh beginning with a potential happy ending:)

i do not fail tho i am i scared i will

i can accept screw ups. but i cant accept failures. i manage screwups i created for myself on a daily basis. haha.

so it comes as a great relief to update my previous post abt failure of one module. i really felt depressed over that.

anyway. i did not fail!

in fact i have a distinction for that political module. i am just happy and relief that this was a mistake that has sorted itself out. hard work pays off, boys and girls. dont give up and keep believing in yourself.

my mantra. my maxim in life.

geraldine's wedding

there was a joyous cocasion recently, a sch mate got hitched! we r not particularly close so was surprise she passed us an invite to her wedding. anyway, its great to attend a happy occasion!:) we - the cam whores in the rest room. reflections are amazing to play with.

there is a lot to be accomplished at work. unfortunately, as i like to tell my friends, i have screwups on a daily basis. bleah.

our self destructing world

what happens when you take things for granted and never pause to treasure and give and as much you take?

the EARTH AND HUMANS race to self destruct!

in the most simplistic non political sense, people starts to bomb their own species. mother earth self destructs with hurricans and tsunamis. people only want to take(i.e. earn money) and forget about others' well being then viola, we get milk power contamination from... where else? but china... duh.

why do they have to spoil their own image after the spectacular olympics show? why do people only care abt making money? and making MORE money with as little resources as possible? this isnt going to work. period. didnt we witness that from the lead-in-children's-toys episode?

then we get more people who likes to bomb other people. in case you duno, pakistan's marriot kana...again. does that sound retarded or what?! what do you get???? glory??? pride?? why do you need glory when you are not alive to savour the taste of it all??? i rather buy a cheap pair of shoes and tell people i got a fantastic bargain and i take pride and glory in that too.

The massive bomb targeting an American hotel chain killed at least 40 people and wounded hundreds, setting a fire that blazed for hours and gutted most of the five-story luxury hotel.
"The attack on the hotel is a message to the Pakistani leadership: End all cooperation with the Americans or pay the price," said Brian Glyn Williams, associate professor of Islamic history at the University of Massachusetts.

n i came across a super interesting article in newpaper. the author likened the financial crisis in the US as tho US is transitioning from a first world super power to a third world super financial basket case.

whahahahah! i like that analogy. not that i like that we are facing financial crisis.

hm. overall. with so many disasters. i am starting to hate my corporate job. do so much with so little and u want to GET SO MUCH!!!!! ??????

humans are rarely the ones who give birth to miracles OK. we are not mother earth who can create diamonds out of crude minerals and trees out of seeds. humans cant do all that.

we can however, without miracles, just start self destructing.

damm sad

i am so damm sad.i fail one module! i fail one module!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i never fail anything before in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NEVER! and i dun appreciate this First Time.

WTH! WTF! WTH!

that's the highlight of this month.

another suay thing, my kungfu panda ALSO fail one module!!!!! how suay can both of us be?

and i just want to sleep.

blur club

Dear God (whoever you are),

May I confess? I have to confess! Given that I am such a brutally frank and honest little girl. I am so blur at work!!!!!!!!!!! I drive my boss nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!! And perhaps most of the people around me. I always need to check, double check, triple check and yet sometimes I still don't see where I had been careless.

May I check my eyesight? Maybe it's my myopia. HAIZZZZZZZ. HOW? and i had been so insensitive to colleagues' resentment/fustration. why do askin feedback means additional workload for you??? anyway, its great that my boss tell me. if not i kana now. if not i KANA=X another thing to keep in mind- see picture in totality. sometimes, what is totality to me, may not be totality to you... afterall, we have different angles. n i might have possibly miss out some.

Okay, Dear God (whoever you are), i have confessed my shortcoming and mistakes to the republic and the WWW.

Anyway, to me, it is a ardous learning curve. Sometimes, I don't get it. But it is a very exciting learning curve. I love marketing. Its dynamic and I can work with so many different companies... if they let me. think different, think of the box. (still trying)

A brillant idea by my SBM. and i do hope it will work out! it will be so cool. keeping fingers crossed in the meantime that i will get a positive, favorable ans on 3 days later.

work is the last and first thing i think about.

a bit overwhelmed by eveything actually. =C

but its so fulfilling.

my bf is in reservist and he cant pass IPPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =X. eveyday i have somthing blur to tell him. hahaha.

fireworks and firewire- august

happen to chance upon the fireworks last last week. this is my fav shot, purely unedited or photoshopped. thought it was thunder in the beginning... dumb me! was my first time hanging out with my boyfriend's clique. it was okay. quite fun:) goood things always dont last, just like fireworks.

saturday, maxine had a photoshoot with KK. maxine should part time as a model! lol. ahmed was there to make a making-of collage. i am there to juga bags.heehee. and to camwhore and take pictures.

yes, when u r a model, u can ask for a guy to help wear shoes and its perfectly logical. tho i thought maxine's a real pro for changing in those not very nice conditions.

while juga bags, its only natural to feel bored. i discovered my camera got a Vibrant mode, and the colors come out damm rich. nice!

our day didnt end at duxton hill. ended with Wall-E. i felt it has got a touching and a really unique storyline. i love eve too. haha.

sometimes i feel like a headless chicken @ work. what am i doing? do i know? sometimes i dont know. what if i dun get the deal? why is my global team even more disorganized than me, n not much of a help compared to other regular brand person? why i am not merticulous enough? i think its cause i am not kiasee/kaisuu enough. but lets minimize the negativity and enjoy the good/bad things in life.

been shopping a lot at this fashion. i used to reject shopping at this fashion but i totally change my thinking, seeing the clothes my mgrs wear from TF and they look as nice as anything from a bysi shop. anyway, i really like their pencil/office skirts! just want to share with u girls coz nice fitting skirts are hard to come by... esp for pear shaped asian gals!!!!

teething problems

depressed.

i am having loads of teething problems now that i officially caught onto the Real workload. my boss is quick to encourage me, telling me not to let things affect me. but after the high of finishing exams, its back to the low of screwing presentations and doing/saying things clumsily.

oh well. i hope they can laugh it off. i would say the learning curve is damm steep and accelerated for me.

anyway. here is a few things, important things i lack and am cultivating
1. analytical skillls.
2. sense of urgency

sense of urgency sounds very DEJA VU. my exboss says the same thing abt me the last time! dont let history repeat itself!!!

got quite pissed off with bf, coz i feel he doesnt know how to encourgae/motivate and simply make me feel better when i am sad and depressed and feeling shitty. dammm.

after sem3

i love saturdays.

saturday was the day after the dreadful sem 3. saturday was the day i went to have som fun in SUCH A LONG LONG BLOODY time.

finally managed to hangout with my best all time girlfriend. i couldnt tell she had rebonded her hair. lol. her hair was fine n straight to begin with anyway. its a complete waste of money to spend on rebonding! better to have the one hundred extra dollar when u r indulging life in hk with ur bf! heehee. *i am almost green with envy!

we went to the Jovian's one year old birthday bash. a voiddeck party!

think his parents have great friendship building skills. so many sisters n brothers, uncles n aunties gathered together just for him. hahaha.

i spend a great day with bf today. just walkin in the shoppin mall buyin random things... like a SAVINGS PLAN!!!???

its time to be managing finanical wealth peeps! esp if u got a permanent job which you dun want to screw up. i better make sure while i spend, i have saved too.

here's to a bright future!*cheers!:)

lookin foward to the day i look forward to work

everyday i make the same annoucement to my bf that I DONT WANT TO GO TO WORK.

actually my mgrs feel this way too. we all prefer to stay at home. hahahahah.

i really like my job as brand executive. i really can put my knowledge to use... i am so lucky! as i said for the umpteenth's time- i just need to prove them right.

anyway, the last day of my assist mgr came n went. it was a teary goodbye for her, havin spent 1.5 years at SLS. if i had spent more time working under her, think i would have sobbed too.

what should i reflect upon this week?

my biggest flaw- inconsistency.

i am dogged by this flaw since the day i started work at hella. *hah* i am just too heck abt the details. i will be working on this. its easier than improving on IQ...

Genting n KL

July
it was a happy trip to Genting. overall. coz i did have a silent argument with BF which kinda just melts away and everything is over before i can yell at him and be angry. cool. so i will just kinda embarrass him by lettin every1 know what funny things he did.


not many. bt funny! like, using a too-short ear phone for his TV screen in the coach.

went for fish spa. it was dammmmmmmmm ticklish but effective. my feet's dead skin was food for the many many fishie. the more effective it was, i .e the larger the no of fish biting ur dead skin away, the more ticklish it was. a conflicting 10 mins of fish "spa".

i duno to be happy it was effective or tortured coz of the squirming/tickish feeling i had to endure... i like this pic at the theme park. coz of the hoodie jacket. hahahahahahahahaha.

August
this month is to KL for companyy dinner which i "fought" for the chance to go coz it clashed with my PR exam. i took exam early to go KL..... worth it. dearest BF brought me to airport n have brunch with me. and to say goodbye to me...:C

flight was bumpy, i had the great luck to be seated next to GM. erm, the journey to hotel was relatively fast though checkin was horribly slow. our view outta the room, was not-bad.

after the slow checkin, we were only left with 1h to shop. it was like AMAZING RACE. it was stupid and funny and i didnt buy much. luckily.

we sprinted back to hotel coz we were warned not to treat dnd like a chinese wedding dinner. anyway, we were late in the end. mi and my senior brand manager (SGM), were into overdrive trying to fix up our hawaiian outfit.

we were cutting our grass skirt to make it shorter, tying the lei to make it nice, tying the hair for it be prettier. putting makeup. being all dolled up.

the marketing team in SLS: with my SMB and assit mgr for ambi pur.

think my superiors all have good genes and are good looking people. this pic is to show off the fake tattoo.

D&D was quite a pleasant experience. i got jusco vch which i spent away already. the food is so-so. we mingled and i was introduced to loads of great people whom i will be working with. we danced in a clubbing atmosphere after the d&d. (and you imagine dancing in a grass skirt to the rythem of trance music??)

we had beer and white wine all in the same night. i just want to sleep!!!!!!! i dont llike the taste of alcohol. this is something i will have to be used to.

sunday is the last day in KL and we made a mad dash at Sunway Prymid. picked up a nike jacket, a mng bag and diva earring. not bad a loot i would say in a span if 90 mins.

this d&d made me appreciate my colleagues even more. they r such great, jolly, helpful people!!!

bf went to pick me up:)) and then he indulge in getting me a big mikey mouse to hug to sleep in lieu of him! ^hearts^ him!!

melange

i made a big fuss abt not wanting to go d&d.

this after i made a big fuss about dying to go d&d.

the grass is always greener on the other side?

a melange of conflicts notions swirlings in me.

life has been so hectic that we didnt celebrate our first anniversay! can you imagine.... god! i never thought both of us can forget FIRST YEAR anniversary and be so bo-chap about it.

i see my friend trying so hard to get into marketing. i wonder about life. really, how do you beg life just to give u a change to try something you want badly? not like, we are at our internship period, where we can CHOOSE where to intern at. now we are other people's mercy to be CHOSEN. i sometimes think it really is all written in the stars!!!!!!!

i saw another friend's nic at MSN. it was "happy with this life". i am glad all/most of us feel this way. its the start of a new month and there is a lot to be count my blessings for. i know the grass is NOT always greener on the other side.

my objective before june, is to prove myself capable in my workscope.

if not...

its funny

i am lucky cause i have a predessecor who was excellent at what she did. leaving me no shit work to clean up. no mess to sink/swim in. i am unlucky cause i have a higher expectations to match and maintain. the fact that i am not at the same level is not relevant.

just do it.

its funny how much things you can observe in a small environment of about 200m2, if not smaller.

its funny how some people try to be diplomatic but authoritarianly at that. >,< they dont give you a choice despite saying you are free to choose. but what can you do about the authorities?? but to relent and compromise?

its also funny how some ppl think you can deliver something in a matter of seconds once they inform you about it. they assume that once they ask for it, its very "simple and easy" to get it done. inconsiderate self-centred pigs in human skins.

but its even more amazing how we can all have different farcade for each situations.

in all, this env is really fast moving. you have to change your face just as fast.

i am Not zzzing

i am going to out in less than 3hours.

its a full day which started with heavy breakfast, heavy lunch and buffet dinner! we r all such foodies!! today is company gathering which consisted of buffet and Kbox. we had 2o of us and the kbox room was humongous... though empty. like, not much deco one.

songs were very separated between chinese pop and hokkien songs!! lol. diff era la, hor. hahahaha. it was fun.

i hope i have more fun in genting. god of gambling pls smile on meeeee. heehee.

這裡發現愛

my current must -watch drama is 這裡發現愛. it made me fall in love with 許樂 aka Vic Chou! i thought the chemistry between him and 陳妍希, still an actress considered to be newbie, was great! haha. anyway, Vic Chou is my fav tv actor now!

they are so funny in their scenes. i guess i am only watching because of them.

in a daze

i am feelin as though i am a daze.

again n again, time seem to past too fast. i tagged along my first spree the previous week.

AM leaving.

dpt restucturing.

essay pending. no mood to pen anything about politics. so i shant pen anything.

going to Genting next Sat.
finally. though i think there is nothing much to shout abt there. i wan the fresh air!! and take many beautiful pictures back. i am packing my makeup and nice clothes over there instead of like going to bkk. so lok-kok!! lok-kok no more!! i been burning weekend with sch work.=( i missed out outing with firewire sadly. anyway genting will be a sweet sweet relief.

its time to think "career advancement". sometimes,i wonder how accelerated can my career be? i dont think i am in a career yet. i mean. its still just a job to me. i am still careless, embarrassingly careles that i wish i can dig a hole to hide myself and pretend i never existed. how am i supposed to manage anything?!

i really have a lot of self-doubt in me. cause i do have certain expectations of myself and i am not even doing things decently thats why i am... incredulous if they wan to expand my portfolio or at least discuss the possibilty of it.

i understand whats the feelin when celebs say they r happy just to be shortlisted. hahahaha.

from another angle -i never think how things can be worse. things r not good now. but i can make it better with bosses' help. back to career advancement, i dont dare to think abt it until i got the degree safely in hands.

in any case, it really is exciting to be in my position!!!!! i know i can do it. its not that i dont know how. its because... i do without planning? never consider from all angles what is the situation to best plan what is the best way to execute.


so there, i should properly understand my weakness. be swift to hear, slow to speak.

betrayal

hi.
turned out that i cant be trusted with a secret. i am repenting. i am ashamed of myself. and i swear... that i wont let it happen again.

the good thing is... it is not a matter of life and death. the bad thing is... there goes my honour and trustworthiness=X.



this week is damm fast!!! a bossless week with good lunch, online spree and too much sch work.

=X keeping fingers crossed

i got a mc for Flu on wed. today when i returned to work, i got a bad stomache which made my face literately white. i really felt bad. then i went to the doc when i felt ok enuf to walk and he said i was ok=X. i am ok. but i wanna rest n they said i should rest so i ...ask for a MC.

tho eventually i went back to work half day lo. did i try my best. i did. i did attempt to try my best. i duno why i am sick at such a 'fortunate' time. but still, i tagged along with lina for a trade visit for return stock.... very insightful. though a bit mystifying.

i am havin trouble wi th vista. it hates me and i hates it back. it slows me down. apparently only me find it laggy while my friend find his fine. it just makes me want to tear my hair out.=C

amid all these blasts of bad/notsogood news, i got a truly good news. my first time winning anything in any lucky draw!!!!!! its a dior hamper. heehee. cant wait. cant wait... for tmr when i make the trip to ulu genting lane. i never been there... :))))

and i have the invite to the DnD at KL. but no1 talks abt it. i think every1 too busy to chap abt this major time waster with a hawaiian theme. erm. god bless.

yay. its five thirty already. end of the day for my working peeps.

sat 9am got a big test. =X.

dear ong, ur version of the windows has been successfully installed! cool! now i gotta spend on a hard disk. again. coz i had yet to return the office's one to boss.

things to look forward

there really is so many things to look forward to! its good to be young. life has so much more experiences waiting for us to live through it.

today they were talkin abt annual D&D. i've yet to have any D&D experience. not sure will i be included as i am on contract. imagine u fly to KL just for D&D.... lol. a bit the... huhhh?! and on a saturday. means u work one more day lah. imagine seeing ur colleagues for seven days!!!!

prezzie called adidas watch

i had been talkin abt this for weeks!! heehee. i wanted to buy it for myself but bf bought it for me instead. hm. i have to think of a present for him too. afterall, one yr anniversary coming u know. so fast right? can the end of my contract come as fast as well?

not that i dont like my work, u know. everyone is really fab. abt tolerating my nonsense and short term memory.

speakin abt tolerating nonsense, think my bf is reallllllly super fantastic at tolerating my nonsense la. i gotta salute him coz i am not sure if i can stand myself sometimes. its like, i know i shouldnt enfore my values on him (SRC, anyone) but i cant stop myself.

he said he wanna ride that elevator thrill ride when we go genting, n i said No. cause i scared if i go to the ride as well, my fake eyelash will drop out as i accelerate down. he said he will go daiso to buy 5 extra pairs of it to go genting so that even if that happen, its no big deal. hahaha. i just feel its so sweet that he indulge in my whatever nonsense and even plan contingency plan for my nonsense. ROFL.

i love my new white headphone from audio technica. the quality is good. i am experiencing customer delight. heehee.

n my bro is off to NIHON. omg. so envy him la.i am turning green. fly to nihon the moment he has bonus. i wan a job with big fat bonus tooooooooo. i hope he gets a prezzie for me!

happy day- angela concert

heeheehee. my wonderful boss passed her free tic to me...so i am off the watch the concert with bf:) before that we went to collect the invoice(zzz) to genting! erm. that's six weeks away. and i counting down to it every single day. haha.

we saw kelly poon there at the show too! she was the centre of attention in our area til she shifted away into the darkness and til the show started.

this is the ugliest costume of the entire night. it was terrible. its a white hood covering her small frame. and on top of the hood, out grew large fuzzy white spores . freaking. really, no good words to describe this.

i thot she sang very very well considering she just recovered from the serious illness. she sang just like cd quality. the big disappointment, beside the opening costume, was she planted an audience!!!!!!!!!! what a disappointment to her mega fan, who ans the question rightly but denied the chance to sing with her on stage. lousy lousy ploy.

her guests, fan wei qi n claire gou jing also sang very well too! thumbs up. claire's songs have been playing repearedly on my play list. i like her voice. its kinda like sunyanzi as in not too sweet but got personality one. hahaha.

the concert ended promptly after 2h, inclusive of a staged encore. zzzzzzzzzzz. no ounce of spontanousity in this show.
