i complain

i like going to library. i love books. i also love magazines.

i look forward to reading every single page of the novel or the magazine articles. i was confused when i couldnt find the pages stated in the magazine- did i repeatedly flipped over it????

imagine my shock and disappointment to see that the pages of the magazine which i just borrowed not being there- coz they were torn away.

i am disappointed. i am even more outraged!!

that person who tore out the pages of a book is destroying the book and rendering it incomplete!!!!! i had seen countless teen magazine whereby the celebrity pic is cut or tore out.

those bloody teenagers should be educated on what a public library is again! what is so good with being a destroyer??

some people are such a disgrace with no sense of communal spirit. selfish with a capital S. lets stop pretending that singaporeans can be or learn to be gracious... at least within this generation- just look at the way people board trains. we need announcement to tell us to stand behind the yellow lines. we need billboard to teach us to treasure our lifes as if we dunno life is precious, even if some ppl treat it like dirt.

really! what has the government got to do, when ppl are wanting to commit suicide?? they also have to play the part of counsellor? incredulous.

we have so much room for improvement.

all things good

Have you heard her voice? she is so damm good!! search for 梁文音 and 最幸褔的事, you dont need to uhderstand mandrian to be touched by her vocals and the story she is telling.

ZH and me broke record already la... spend the whole of ytd, from 12- 9 pm, walking and walking and walking!!!!!!!

it was a planned day, meant for shopping and buying and eating and we did a lot of that, a couple of hundered bucks gone!!

all this walking, we need lotsa food !!!! starting with $2 congee @ the first stop : chinatown. we gotta save all we can when its recession, isnt. damage at OG- $160.

after finish shopping at chinatown, second stop is Funan... which was about time for tea break. the toast at Ya Kun is damm crsipy. damage at Funan:$90

third stop is ... Raffles City! Originally intended to get my Body Shop Card from Raffles City, but they STILLL DONT HAVE ! we walked (somemore) to City Link to get that bloody Body Shop card so tht i can claim the birthday month discount... Damage at BodyShop: $50



then we went to the Fourth stop: CENTRAL MALL. dinner! @ Mr Curry. so japanese cutesy.


i think the food is not bad... pricing OK. i think the shokudo's curry is better, overall. hahaha. but the mango smoothie is damm rich n fresh. we can hear them crushing the mango into smoothie ( at least i think that was what the noise was all about and why it took so long) Damage at Central, inclusive of shopping: $90.

From Central...
we walked back to Chinatown. Full Circle...

we even join in the crowd to walk through the chinese new year market. love the mood. the jostling and crowdedness was uncomfortable but if one day if there is no jostling and no crowdedness, bet ppl will think what's wrong. Damage at the market: $10

ytd was the single day which i had walked so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the damage to the pocket was huge! i will be trying my hardest to NOT buy shoes n clothes... no space for new ones already...

Cycling @ Pasir Ris

it always great to enjoy simply things in life with friends. the weather has been great despite the huge gusts of wind. we still do things that we did 3 years ago. everything changes yet somehow our friendship stays the same! GREAT!:)

Spot the difference between getting ready to jump and getting ready to land.

me the camwhore. the camwhore's photographer is ahmed! nice!

us( not the perfect shot but i llike still).

and... i finished my six months probations already. i am a perm staff! for the first time in my life.

Prezzie for getting old

i got an early bday present from ZH. its something from one of the brands i like... since i dont have a favourite brand.

i just like the name of the brand. not so much its products & design. i went to the small one at taka and like nothing from there. ( but discovered that have 50% discount for their sales!!! will keep an eye peeled for their future sales!)

so bf, essentially spent half of ytd to gift hunt something for me. it must be tough on him. my legs ache from all the window shopping , his legs must ache at least twice as much.

luckily there is something which i like from its flag ship store! our efforts in making the trip down was NOT WASTED anymore! YAY!

thanks for granting me my birthday wish! ultimately, it is the thought that counts and not the present itself. sounds corny? but it is true. i appreciate it more and am extra touched cause of the time he invested in looking for it and making sure i like what he bought. =)

the Argh Feeling

My lower eyelid has been twitching for a day.

my results for IMC is a N.A. heard that other ppl didnt get excellent grades, mostly scrapping past!!


why does it seem like i dont get simple things done?! perhaps its not 100% my fault but this sucky feeling is damm hard to live with...

i spotted a pair of shoes which i would love to bring it home... but it didnt have my size!

i feel as though Murphy's Law is overlooking upon me.

on the other hand, everyone is pretty excited abt my upcoming project. it REALLY is a make it or break it moment. i am driving the designer n myself nuts. with the endless changes. with the lack of resources AND THE LACK OF TIME. i just dunno- how did the timeline screwed up so badly, how did we discover what we lack only at the LAST moment when there is no one to help us.

i really do understand how come designers can hate their clients so much- coz clients KEEP askin for changes n never say everything at one time. AND they keep changing their mind. and waste their late nights and endless hours and efforts.

but thats the way clients are. leopards never change their spots. sometimes i feel very apologetic abt the endless changes. but we dont have so much foresight on our side. how do we find foresight anyway?

anyway, this current designer is really damm cool with all the stupid changes we have and lack of time n resources. appears like a damm cool professional. i am a satisfied customer!

bad service and feelin old

so why do i keep bumping into bad service??? maybe i can turn this blog into a records of bad service encounters. though i understand of course the number of people who renders good service outweighs the black sheep.

often i dont understand why do i not retaliate and just become angry and shout @ those ppl who are rude to me when they are paid for being nice. i just keep my silence and fume silently inside. madness!!!! this has lead to my first resolution of 2009 - NEVER BE A NICE CUSTOMER WHO GETS BULLIED... EVER AGAIN!

it is not me who feel the same way. if it was only me maybe i am the one who is the meanie, but my friends feel this way and ask why did i endure their rudeness!!!!

good question. why did I???? NEVER AGAIN!!!!

i will never forget that rude salesgirl in bugis level 2.

and that restaurant manager in pastamania bugis.

all righty- i dont look forward to 2009 and yet it is already here. it like, my best peeps just celebrated 21st and yet i will be 22 in less than one single month ;( and i will never get over it. lucky i have an older older bf.)

but as i grow older and work longer- i do feel more empowered. i earn my own keep and know what are my rights (esp towards those in the service line). getting older does make you wiser. even if it is only a perception.

looking back, 2008 was a year of opportunities. it seemed as though it was yesterday when i went to work as a coordinator and worked under 2 managers.

i had never ever entertained the thought that the dpt would reshuffle and they will convert me into perm position and PROMOTE me at that.

i had never imagine i would be discussing and planning the strategies and objectives for a brand much less MY brand.

sometimes i am really excited by my job scope. sometimes it is just plain scary and overwhelming cause it is so easy to fall below expectations just by virture i am forgetful and BLUR.

i would think ... while i am scared of 2009 - i will be facing it heads-on. now i realize how hard is it to be a brave little girl in a humongous mad world.
