unpleasant rude irritating

u know those mrt barriers that is meant for people with trolleys/prams?

as i was about to use it, a malay couple was reach the gate too. since i was faster, i tapped first n the door open, FOR ME.

guess what. that malay man went ahead to cross anyway. n me? stucked behind as that man charged his way past me. i shot him a dirty look. i felt super pissed off since today was so tiring for me.=C

n then, that SMRT fella at the control station saw the whole incident i guess. he told me what to do when it happens the next time "grab the man by the neck to stop him and then u scold him!".

hahahahah. i wish. i know u r kidding. i know such jerks n inconsiderate people exist who just charged their way through even when they r not chasing a train. Super WANG BA DAN LAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

my stupidity

things that is/r making upset ;C as of NOW.

1. i cant do the work i brought home to do cause the file i have, is too low to work with. shit!!!!!!! *tearing hair out* =C

things that made me upset today

1. the stupid coach/sch bus issue.

2. the prezzie i brought back from msia sucks! and the only reason i bought it was becoz i didnt check it. and its quite expensive too, considering i went there for cheap shopping.

i feel cheated;( in thailand, the thai stall owner was so kind to point out a small stain on the white top when he was abt to make a sale from me. not like this unscrupulous malay woman. just feel cheated and angry that i didnt check... haix. my bad.

overall, this shoppin experience isnt very good, just fair. its only saving grace is that some good brands r unavailable here in Sg. they dont even have cheap fake eyelashes which i so wanna buy.
but the eating experience was quite good! :) so was the KTV-rooms/pub experience. our hosts were very nice as well. without them, i dont think things could have been as smooth sailing as it was. a big thank you to them!

hi friends, did i mention i spend 4 hours just getting my hair cut n treatment? it was such a bloody long time. okay. just feel like showing off a pic of the nicely done hair which i taken. i forgot if i had even blog abt this, but in any case, i will just post again lor. n it was kevin seak's 21st bday party last sat. before going to his party, a bunch of us went to pitstop cafe first. it was my first time going to those board game cafe n it was fun... regardless r u into the game or not. the hours just FLY past. GAWD. must be the company of friends.

and there is always a friendly cafe staff to go through the game with u. i isucked at all the games, man. be it reactive or strategic. still. no1 cares. i refuse to believe that i am dumb.

we had a wonderfully exciting ride with Maxine. congrats to getting ur license, man. i am so happy when u get the car parked just right:) here, we r already at seak's house. even kaidi n arshad were there. kaidi is now a MARLOW.

i spent sometime to put on the fake eyelashes. not very obvious still. u can imagine the real pathetic lashes that belong to me.

After the whole birthday singing, we went down to chinatown to sing! at k-ster where we passed for students' price. hahahaha. all the way til 1-plus. for me it was 2-plus. for alex n teckie, it was 4am. no wonder the sore throat. haha.

got a craving for japanese curry rice. bf indulged in me and we went to HOSHI to fulfill my craving. i like the curry rice a lot!! the aladdin shaped holder added to its attractiveness. it tasted good enough for the price. only 12 dollars!! n u get such big portions.

and now, the eve of holiday i satisfied another craving of mine.:) the century egg porridge from maxwell. thanks to BF of course. he always let me have my way.

i had been so sleepy lately. i concussed so fast. god, help! i need the time to do hw. n sch work. haix. we r reaching the last phrase of the AP project. i hope all the loose ends will be tied up lastly. haix. i am tryin my best. but really my blurness gave every1 a scare. hhaahahah. lluckily... the guys r all big hearted enough to let it go.

and i am going to KL tmr. bless me!:)

why am i so forgetful

i duno why am i so forgetful.

TGIF.


i dun mind havin no life so long i get as much sleep as i want. i dun mind being a labeled a loser in other people's eye just cause i dun have night activities.

i am doing yet another press kit and its looking to be good!!!!!!!!! hopefullllllllllllllllllly. on the other hand, i had yet to complete something that was due last month. GAH.

i love six pm

i love six pm.

it signifies the end of a day and people have the right to go home. it's been a hell of a ride recently and i think i love it. i like it... at the very least. i enjoy marketing! just that i dont like hearing that the AnP had been cut... yet again. or that there is no fantastic bonus to look forward to.

but it's worth it as long as u find pride n satisfaction in what you do.

i am going to KL for a shoppin trip! loving life! haha. with KT n Amy n stayin over @ their friends house. no need pay for accomodation. heehee. quite a impromptu trip. thats where the fun is! i never been there, that proves how mountain tortoise i am!

the speed of time is so fast. i cant get over how ironic is that i want it to be the end of the year already and yet i complain time is passing by too fast.

mc quueeen

i am the new MC Queen. not job hopper already. think kelly has displaced me on that position.

not that i faked anything on those MCs but the doc just felt that i should be given 3 day mc cause i teared in front of him due to horrible headache. so since, it wasn't faked mcs, i would just use it in good faith. had horrible splitting headache, the throbbing pain was unbearable. i had fever for 2 days!

the doc asked if i am too stressed at work.

is it really caused by work stress?? i actually think work's OK. i think its more about sch. with 3 modules and such tight deadlines and unreasonable lecturer.


anyway. too much MCs is gonna affect my work performance. but i guess its been affected already. ;( i kana warning already! i have like, 5 MCs with 2 months. no wonder i kana the warning.

haiz. what to do??????????????????

bday bday

yesterday, went to essential brews for alyssa's bday party. the hostess, the bday girl was the busiest of them all.Glad yf bought her baby boy along. cause he really is quie a nice baby, never cry despite all the noise. its easy to play with him. u can entertain him with a balloon, or without any.And then, its time for the cake. for the birthday song, for the candles to be blown, for the wish to be made. she got to blow the candles twice! haha.
Dan & Alyssa.

I wd say Dan's quite a nice guy. coz he remembered my name! hahaha. its imptt to remember ur gf's friends, so that they will like u and stamp the chop of approval on u. hahaha. And then its time for group shot. HS appeared not at ease, huh? is it me? hahaha.

she doesnt llook like a mom! though definitely more womanly, with long curls and all:) its great to hang out with her n her baby boy.

after the dinner, bf came to pick me up. he got disney princess handiplasts for me to use! no thanks to my high heels of course.

its his bday today. HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAY!! you r only 28!!!!!!! congrats!! i am so tired and time constraint with sch work that i at home instead of somewhere else with him. saddening. at least i was there when the clock striked 12.

art n crafts;)

its the thought that counts. so for bf's bday, he will receive a piece of cake from me. i spent about 1-2 hours 'baking' it.

It was made with love of course. and eh, needle. cloth. sponge. did i mention, love? haha.

ok, it wasn't very hard. but stiillll, i improvised on it. so, i made it easier. no close ups! the stitching wasnt good la.

And ta-dahhhhhhhhhhhh.

the chocolate cake is done!( i hope it looks decent AND i know it doesnt look llike the picture at all. lol) i dunno how materialistic am i, bbut i am glad that he isnt happy with expensive presents. in fact, he will scold me for splurging.

good la. i dun need to splurge on bf. bf splurge on me is enough. hahahahahahaha.

oh-no- time flies

hello... its reaching the quarter of the year. March!!

so i am been soakin in the FMCG world close to a quarter of year!!! my boss asked if i learnt anything. yes, i did and still learning. there is so much i need to learn. gah. i cant learn FAST enough. i can ignore the stress. but its definitely there.

its definitely different from my previous industry. this one is more exciting, it literately is fast moving. in 2 months, i gotten 300 mails. not that i am directly involved, but thats the way it is in mnc, so dont get mistaken.

kelly said its not easy to get into FMCG. i am treasuring it. i really am=) i hate to it admit, but i think i enjoy the fast paced env. it really gives a sense of productivity.

its not so easy coordinating 3 design projects which i have to seek opinions of 6 persons before i can move ahead. you have to very clear -headed... which i am scared that i am not clear enough. there is so many seemingly easy things to coordinate, but i am just... nervous. i feel like there will be a appraisal after this peak period. and i ...can feel lit. its sink or swim. whether i am renewed is definitely decided before december.

haix. its not easy gasping the very intelligent SAP system... tho i am glad wenli is there to help. its not so easy dealing with so many products and suppliers and vendors. i envy those ppl who remember the codes after just a glance.

and today, HORRORS- i commited a boo-hoo.in creating a new vendor record, i actually wrongly filled it in what product he was supplying.

oh . my. god. i am here to repent. pls forgive me. i had yet to tell the poor colleague in msia abt this mistake though. gah. i hope she doesnt hate me. which i think will be significantly harder after this episode. but i will know if she can forgive me tmr.....



boss will be away to for a week long holiday. i can tell she hope i dont screw things up in her absence. i hope so too. i think i hope for it more than you do. ((mantra: i can do it. i can do it.)

hahahahaahahahahahahahaha.

i want to be a seasoned pro as soon as possible. i want to be invited to mediacorp luncheon and slashed advertising cost of agency by half. i want to sound confident cause i know i have to decision making power.

yayayaya. i remain positive. i have to be. gah.

we had durains today! they drove to geylang to buy back loads of it. i hope the office dont stink tmr.

Professor Umbridge

Professor Umbridge was one of the lead characters in the Harry Porter series. A follow of the Dark Lord, who thrived on the misery of the students in Hogwarts.

Whether Ms H. of our C&C Mgt thrives on our misery or not, she has as much popularity as Prof Umbridge among the students in her class. ( at least the group of us)

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT CLASS !!!!!!!

some1 help me. i dun think passing that module is easy. i read those readings but to avail. i dun understand what those 30 words that form a sentence mean.

haix.

depressing.

i am at a loss on how to start that stupid essay.

work is like... more pleasant than that class. i like doing what i am doing. i just regret that i dun have great ideas for them n i am too absent minded to be more competent. in any case, i work towards to be more competent everyday!

i dun wanna received bad feedback!

if anything, i have very high expectations of myself. i feel stupid if i dun get a simple thing right. but the truth is, a simple thing, even a simple thing such as printing documents, can give some1 a huge headache.

haix.

i gotta learn how to lower down self expectations to be at ease with myself. just a tiny bit.

end of CNY PH and weekend

hello peoplpe in this wide wide world. cny's ph is over. 4 days of festive fun, joy and laughter.

as usual, this yr'sCNY = nothing special. cept that my cousin zhen fly to italy for half yr internship n there is no 1 to entertain me anymore. just kidding. miss her. all the best to her. dun get urself into some love affair with those handsome italian though. hahahaah. italian r heart breakers. just kiddding. coz i will be most jealous if u managed to have breed with italian man. KIDDING!

we still had the same kind of steamboat. the same kind of red packets. except i appreciate the kindess and blessings behind them even more. i sincerely say that its the thought that counts.

we gathered at the same place. i went to HCY house as usual. wht was a first was going to the Home to visit grandpa.

poor thing.

so many god-given abilities were taken back by god.

he no longer can speak or walk properly after a stoke which left him half paralysed. lets all not take such abilities for granted.

turned out that my boss actually smsed me a wrong timing for her open house! 12pm instead of 2pm. i wonder why... anyway, we went to the NTUC to get the abalone which my mama wanted. jjust nice:) time well maximised.

even had time to camwhore to utilise the extra time @ NTIC XTRA=S

i duno why he put his face like dat. it doesnt make his face smaller.kekeke. an elephant will be an elephant no matter which angle.kekekekekekekkeke.

nothing could spoil my pretty mood these past few days. not even when he accidentally spilled our shared plate of food onto my WHITE pants @ my boss's house/buffet lunch. lucky we werent greedy... coz there wasnt much to spill on the plate. *phew. if not, i doubt i can contain my anger/upsetness at being spilled at.

i give myself a pat on my back for my own graciousness @ the episode. hahahahahahaa.

and i ended this Sunday by catching a movie - Sweeny Tod. quite a long feature musical.

its the first film that i can remenber that is shown 99% in grey scale and where the characters looked like living corpose. i know it suited the theme damm well, coz it's gloommy just by lookin at the passers-by A, B and C.

i still wanna watch CJ7 no matter the reviews.

CNY 2008

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
HAPPY RAT YEAR!!

i just feel festive cause it's like the default mood for the past few days!

(sch) work - things that r just plain irritating

sch work are not the bane of my exisitence.

they r just a irritance.

but project work is more than a irritance. on one hand, i am glad that the workload is distributed, fair or otherwise- that's another story. but so far, within a group, we always played to our strengths and had no problem with work distribution. project work is like... work! (horrors!!)

why dont i like project work? thats plenty of coordination involved. COORDINATION! dont i have enough of that at work? gah. project mates are like colleagues in another setting. nvr try to upset them if possible. nvr try to step on their toes. try to make all of us happy. u cant move at ur own pace. u gotta move as a team.

we r team, whether we like it or not.

*****
heard a friend cried ovr her breakdown at work. gah. i mentioned this to my boss, begging them dont scold me til i cry if i did something wrong. hahaha. and i find what my bosses say very true and enlightening.

"when can you make mistakes and tell people that its ur right to make one? when u r new!" yup, being new gives u a right to make mistakes. to a certain extent, of course. and anyway who doesnt make mistakes? even seasoned pros are subject to that. its what happens after the mistake that counts.

it happen to me , to friend... to whoever else who are breathing in oxygen. n i feel encouraged that i have such understanding bosses. kekekekkeke. i feel like i should sing the praises of my bosses coz good bosses are hard to be met.

***
i am still in a shopping mood!!! i just finished dying my hair yesterday, back to black, so that i can get rid of my overgrown faded brown locks. and my hair got so rough n dry.=S very unsightly, cause they become so stiff and unmanageable.so ah... i had eh... no choice but to buy some damage control products. hahahahahahaha.


saturday will be dropping by boss's house for house-visit!

Bangkok/21st - i love it

i am on 2 day MC now. unexpectedly, i caught a flu the night i was back. so yah, the kind doc prescribed a two day MC. no wonder he is so popular with the patients. which gives me some time to just rest and blog abt my wonderful, fantastic, fabulous and simply happy trip.

DAY ONE- Friday

had a afternoon flight. first time with thai airways and both of us were pleasantly aurprised. it is quite cheap for the level of service offered. 2 thumbs ups. nice food, too. why do we hear so many horror stories about the airplane food?

we had some confusion when we reached bkk int airport coz we didnt know who was our transfer guide. but after 15 min of searching n then 15 min of waiting for the whole group to be found, we finally could be transfered to the whole. a bit pissed about the whole waiting but i didnt want to be unhappy during my bday! and besides, we were to first to be dropped off.

first day/night was pretty short. we went to see Tiger Show. haix. kinda depressing. i duno whether if it's worse to be tiger show girl or a prostitute. maybe tiger show girl is the lesser of the 2 evils since the customer r basically see no touch. even got live show performed to the tune of BAD DAY.

its kinda fascinating/horrifying/entertaining and disgusting all rolled into one.

then went to the infamous Patpong Night Market. price is exorbitant and they knew it therefore just walkaway and you will be able to get a better price. there, i discovered that Watsons in Thailand carried Tiffa, a cosmetic line under Kanebo which is not even available here in Sg >,<

so i had no choice but to bring it back. hahahaha.

we ended our night out with a thrilling tuktuk ride. clinging onto the metal railings for dear life. ha. it IS thrilling yet enjoyable coz u know u wont get into an accident coz they are such pro drivers. at least i felt that way. and our day ended just like that. too short!!!!

DAY TWO- Saturday
Woke up bright and early for the morning breakfast and walk to board the sky train to Mo Chit AKA to the famous weekend Chartuchak market . We were to meet his friends ( who happen to be in Bkk for a company retreat) but we were early! so we went to the park. ;)

i bought so much stuff that i was so scared that poor bf would be absolutely bankrupt and have NO baht for me to spend tmr!! *horrors!! :P/ but after calculating... i spend less/ about 70SGD? for a pair of black/grey skinny jeans ( LOVEIT!!!) and 2 t shirts, 2 tops, 2 dresses, 1 bag and 1 pair of kitten heels. eh... with in 2 hours? hahahaha. imagine spending more time there. can die.

and poor bf. he couldn't fit into the jeans that he wanted to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eh... so sad!! such nice design at such gd price but he couldn't fit into it. the thais are all so slim looking!

so he doesnt like chartuchak since he couldnt anything he wanted there. hahahah. but i LOVEit. i guess we really walked a lot. bf walked so much on his lousy slipper that his heel cracked. lousy slipper n no moisturizing. see la. guys! dont be lazy and think its sissy to do moisturizing. its more than being vain. its about protecting ur skin!

we didnt just stop there. we went to MBK straight!!! just kidding. we took train to Siam and then had a lunch break @ pizza hut. THEN to MBK where i didnt like from the previous trip. where he got his shirts and where we got most of food to bring back home.

after MBK, we settled for a more comfortable ride in the taxi.

when we reached the hotel... thats when i booked the dinner cruise. he wasnt so enthu but he agreed coz i really wan to take cruise and do something more memorable than shopping! so we did! signed up for the exp dinner cruise!

And not forgetting the Dunkin Donuts from MBK. YUM!since bf is suffering from cracked heel, its time for some R&R. we went for his fav activity in thailand - massage. but he is too "fat and strong" qouted from the massue... that she didnt have enuf strength to stretch him all the way. i just couldnt stop giggling after hearing that. and i giggle even more from hearing all the heaving that the massue was giving out from the strenous exercise she was going through. major LOL.

even managed to squeeze in time for a mask!:)

DAY THREE- Sunday

it was a bit of a rush. coz there was so much i wanted to do! it was hard to squeeze in everything but we managed to do it! time for breakfast! made a humongous sandwish for him. which he subsequently had trouble eating.

Time for suntanning...

Time for mindless fun...

Timee to... shop!

Platinum mall this time round was disappointing. maybe coz of time constraint, i had this time limit i had to adhere to since i wanna drop by Pratunam market as well. but luckily bf found jeans he could fit there. hahaa.

Pratunam market was definitely better!!!! i got this fab smart casual jacket for only 15SGD and its of cuduroy material! Simply Fab. then we had to be at the hotel for us to change by 5.30 pm since that is the pick up time for the cruise.

we made it safe and sound and was there 30 min earlier! The pier and the boat looked great! very good place for photo taking opportunity. I didnt expect to see the pink/blue sky at dusk.

There was song and dance on the cruise. 3 traditional dances. by the same 3 dancers. hahaa. a cultural experience and it was good.

The food was so-so til we reached the seafood basket. huge prawns , squid and mussels!! BF loved it. i love it too, since he peeled the prawns for me. haha. after that he grew more and more happy with the cruise and eventually he enjoyed himself thoroughly. good. trust my decision, ya? hahaha . perhaps he liked it more than me. lol.

The sights were fabulous. I specially like the bridge. the architecture of it is so unique , eye catching and left an impression on me. it looks so good on my hp cam already!
And the pair of us were invited to just join in their dance, just to make a fool of urself. a pleasant experience which ended in a hand garland of flowers. conclusion :Bf love the cruise more than i did. hahaha.

And then, its back to hotel. massage. and then its the first time i enjoyed soaking in bath tub! Fab! ;) and morning came and we had to go to the airport. Goodbye hotel!! i miss u!;(

feel asleep on the transfer to hotel. then we learnt that the flight back @1pm was cancelled so we had to take the next fight @ 3pm so we had the whole afternoon to walk the airport shopping centre. of course it was a torture to bf. so we also did foot massage. which i fall asleep and dreamt and actually jerked my foot outta the lady's hand, surprising both of us. gosh. i am so tired from the walking, shopping and bargaining!


The meal was sponsored by Thai Airways since our flight was cancelled. kinda, 300 baht each but we ate more than that. we just kept walking / resting/ window shopping til its time to board.


Yet another pleasant trip with TG and i didnt wanna come home. i tried their white wine even. they gave passengers an orchid brooch!
we finally reached the terminal. and i am not finished yet! we dropped to see whats the fusss with T3 and then found out that the one main thing that set this terminal apart is the sheer size of it! super duper humongous. so big that we had trouble trying to take a lift to get to ground level to cab home.

i am tired!
