s|nGLeS_OuT Iftar 2008

yet another splendid out-ing... without me realising it, i have been late on a couple of occasions already eh..? sorry babes.. they were not intended & were unavoidable.. will remember to be punctual next time ok..?

iftar @ Desa Kartika & it was probably one of the scariest experiences i've encountered.. when a'Ne called the lady for some rice, she served me rice like as if i've not eaten for a month.. so there was this mountain of rice & i was virtually scratchin my head, wonderin how was i supposed to finish it..

**s|z: i think she need to go for course on how to POUR rice..

..so, i looked at the dishes on the table & most of what i saw had vegtables in them so i settled with the chicken & 2 pieces of cuttlefish with the plain rice BUT not without 1st attackin the Tahu Telor!!

Photobucket

this was not done by me.. it was already like that [done by a'Ne] when i arrived.. & there was also the loose tiles beside me.. each time one of the servers walk by me, i could hear the tiles cracklin.. the "Brain-Twins" were already full by the time i was halfway done with my food..

Photobucket

it was great.. it always feels great when i'm out with them..

so don't forget november ok..? there's the kain to find, the rental of baju & [hopefully..] the photoshoot.. now i'm feelin the excitement.. haha..!

mark it on your calender, ladies; 18 october shall be our next out-ing ok..? e-BoO's drivin..!

back.. to black..

remember the unsettlin feelin that i had about a month ago..? well it came back.. just as i thought i've put everythin aside & moved on, the feelin came back again.. i'm gettin bouts of restlessness & it's killin me.. it really is..

been thinkin of a million ways to get rid of this mad sentiment but nothin seems to work.. just got to live with it i guess..

on the bright side, we're gettin bits & pieces for the crib.. slow progress but gettin somewhere.. eventually.. anyone wants to volunteer to assist..? there's paintin, re-wirin, fixin.. you know, things of those sorts..

**i miss MY BESTIE.. very, very, very much...

mis-understood..?

finally today was the last trainin.. was a bit quiet though, probably because Cyn & Cher wasn't around..

i just hope what i was tryin to say durin the trainin didn't come across as rude or blunt because i really mean no disrespect.. what i really meant to say was that i love my original team members & i am sad that they had to be transferred else where BUT that doesn't mean that i dislike the current team i'm workin with.. i have a fabulous senior receptionist & [i quote from Sam] fantastic personal assistant on board Prudential so there shouldn't be any problem..

all i need is probably a little more time to adjust to this new team.. i mean i'm not a great office assistant myself, let alone being in this new personal assistant role & there is so much i have to learn from them.. my emotions were triggered the moment Anna mentioned about how Auds & Aida left for 6 Batt.. sorry, i couldn't help it..

**chin up

anyway, i met up with my Lady Bee & Herman last friday.. gosh i missed her SO MUCH..! really had lots of catchin up to do & apparently 4 hours was just not enough.. thank goodness she's only across the road from Prudential so now i have a potential lunch-mate..! can't believe how small this country is.. not only is Herman in a relationship with Bee, he's also Alexis' cousin..

Herman & Bee

can't wait to see her again.. Sayang, shall we do A7X concert with Bee & Herman..?

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Kill Them With Kindness

Kill Them With Kindness

that's the advice my Snr Manager always gives to us when we're faced with difficult clients.. apparently, kindness is killin me..

sometimes it doesn't pay to be kind.. you give them love, they throw crap in your face.. what the hell am i toleratin that for..? at the end of the day, i'm cleanin up all those crap & for what..? nothin..! PRECISELY..! there's only so much i can take & i guess Lilian was right.. i have to control myself or it'll show.. that i did but i don't know for how long i'm able to hold on..

of late, i have death on my mind.. you know, how does it feel to die..? what happens after you die..? do they have books on how to die..? sometimes i wish i'm dead.. i find my presence to be of a nuisance & quite redundant i can say.. what am i here for..? it's not like my presence will or can make any difference to anyone, right..?

right..?

friends.. forever..?

friends.. forever..?

there is an unsettlin feelin that has been botherin me of late.. it just makes me feel so restless & unsure about things.. maybe it's just the guilts of the past that's out to haunt me, well at least i hope that's what they are..

i guess havin friends are not as simple as it seems.. it does take a lot of effort to build one & maintain it.. some just come & go into our lives but some remain throughout.. i have a feelin that one of it is breakin away from me.. gosh.. that's goin to be a tough one.. friends for the longest time & things change, just like that..

i'm yearnin to meet my ladies.. i wonder how they are right now.. i miss them so much..

**can't take it.. just wishin school's totally over, drivin's done, promotion's confirmed & big day's passed.. the anxiety of it all..! i think about all these everyday, 24/7 & it's gettin to me.. everythin's neither here nor there.. nothin is fixed.. bummer..

get-away

get-away

spent the weekend in Genting with my sis & the 2 'bodyguards'... got the bus on friday night & reached at about 5.30am.. groggy & sleepy, i stepped out of the bus only to find myself freezin to death..!

Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

the theme park opens only at 8am so we spent the next 2½ hours checkin in our bags, walkin around to find somewhere warm to eat our already-cold "breakfast", wash up & queue for our entry wristbands for the theme park rides..! haha..!

we tried all the thriller rides 1st so as to avoid disappointment & thankfully we did because by noon people started streamin into the theme park & everyone was everywhere & i don't do well with crowds..

glad i had that short break.. really needed to clear my head & more importantly i had fun!

i am a disappointment

i am a disappointment

i let my best friend down.. i think she really hates me now.. i wish that i could make things right between us again..

she has been my bestest friend for the longest time, even longer than my fiance.. i never realized that i have been takin her for granted until the day she said, "Don't make me hate you." i knew she meant it but i was i coward.. i couldn't get myself to tell her the truth about that saturday.. she must be really disappointed & i know i don't deserve to be forgiven..

all the years we've been friends, i have always had the fullest respect for her.. she was more than a friend, she is like a sister to me; my family..

i haven't been able to do anythin right, thinkin of how much i must have hurt her.. things have never been the same eversince..

she's my maid-of-honour & i will not get that replaced by anyone else.. it's her or no one..

so if you have a best friend, never take him or her for granted because you'll never know when things will get out of hand & you may lose that friendship..

i SO LOVE the movie..! it's one of those movies that you'll always remember.. i might need to start looking for the series.. hahaha..! i don't believe it but i actually ACTUALLY cried like 4 or 5 times throughout the movie! it was THAT FANTASTIC..!

watchin the movie reminds me so much of my s|nGLeS_OuT ladies.. i don't know how to explain it but it really does.. gosh.. i really don't mind watchin it again though.. *hint hint* anyone up for SATC..?

so i'm now almost completin my module one BUT i've got to wait for at least another month before i can continue my lessons.. gosh.. i should have booked my lessons earlier.. i'm sproutin more grey hair because of this.. grrr.. well, at least i'm reachin somewhere rather than stay stagnant & procrastinate on continuin it.. 6 long years.. *sigh* what the heck was i thinkin..?

i've already gotten most of my stuffs so i'm left to call up a couple of places to confirm my bookings & such.. got to take note of a few dates like 9th July, 13th August & most importantly 10th January..

Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese friends out there.. hope you had a great long holiday/weekend.. *smiles*

i am very disturbed with everythin that is going on around me.. infidelity? unconventional relationships?

who am i to question right? i'm just voicin out my concerns..

anyway, 7th was Aidil's weddin.. nothin much to comment on about it.. took a few pointers from the whole event though.. i roughly know what to work on & what to deal with when the time comes.. up to date, most of the stuffs have been semi-confirmed.. we just need to get the most important part of the whole "project" together or else nothin's goin to work..

went back to JB on friday & came back on saturday.. went with aZMaN & his 2 sisters.. i zonked out the moment we reached.. can't help it..! i woke up at 7am, met up with aZMaN, travelled down to Woodlands to pick up the girls & headed down to JB & finally reached there close to noon! so how..?

**good luck to us again, my dear..

a warm welcome to 2008 & Happy New Year to all of you..!

i had a quiet celebration.. just the 2 of us & our coffee, away from everyone.. our very 1st New Year together after so many years.. what nicer way to usher in the new year if not in the arms of that someone you love?

this is goin to be the start of new challenges & opportunities for us.. nobody said that it's goin to be easy but we'll get it together.. i'm very sure of that.. one way or another..

**i'll be around..

little black shoes

little black shoes

i've always had a thing for black shiny pointy heels with ribbon but i never seemed to have any luck findin the right pair.. i've had this one for a month or so & i'm lovin it.. well, they may not look brand new [i walk around a lot.. it's my job..] but they are the pair that i've been searchin for..!

..& it rained

..& it rained

i'm on half day leave today.. have one of the assignments to finish & lectures to catch up on..

it rained heavily today just before lunch.. unfortunate events happened to me & it began with the bag..

Part I: i picked up some stuffs from 6 Batt Rd to bring over to Pru & as i was walkin back along the stretch of Raffles Place [outside Chevron House to be precise..] with YvoNNe Lu [she was goin for lunch, you see] the bag that i was carryin gave way & all the cans of Coke & Carrot Juice came tumblin down & rolled all over the place..! imagine the embarrassment that i was in..! thank goodness YvoNNe was with me or i could have sworn i'd cry.. 2 gentlemen came up & helped us pick up the drinks.. i stuffed them in the plastic bag that i had with me, hung the umbrella that YvoNNe gave me on my hand & walked quickly back to Pru..

[i'm not done yet..]

Part II: i left Prudential Tower only to find that it was still rainin heavily.. as usual, i don't have an umbrella with me [i don't like to carry one around] so i took the underpass to 55 Market Street & texted aZMaN at the same time, hopin that he'll get the message & rescue me from the rain.. it was busy at Geek i presume because he didn't reply so i stood at the traffic light junction at Republic Plaza II & prayed as hard as i could that the rain will subside.. well, it didn't so i stood there, resigned to my fate that i'll be stuck at the junction till eternity..![ok, so i exaggerated] & then..! an angel, a French angel to be exact, came to my rescue..! [*flutters eyelids & clasps hands*] he asked if i wanted to cross over to 55 Market Street & of course i said yes so he offered to share his umbrella with me.. aww.. sweet right..? his was a 1-man umbrella [you know, the small foldable one that you can tuck in your bag..] yet he offered to share.. such a nice guy.. *smiles*

& so the story ends with me partially wet with soggy stockings & squishy shoes..

**the end..

i'm not still a girl..

i'm not still a girl..

i'm goin to have my hair washed & blown for the X'mas party.. don't laugh..! at the end of the day, i'm still a girl afterall..

apparently me & Valerie [the new PA in Pru] are goin to be wearin the same top later.. what the..? well it's ok.. as i told her this mornin, we could go as twins or somethin.. haha.. corny eh..? so i decided not to wear the outfit that my sister's friend loan to me.. it's just too big.. i'm practically sweepin the floor as i walk & the top's hooks can be undone without me havin to do it myself.. it's that bad..

this month i'm very contented with my earnings.. yes, i jolly well earned it.. thanks to my colleagues for helpin me & aZMaN for his understandin.. *smiles*

right.. i'll be back with pictures.. till later..

to be or not to be..

to be or not to be..

this is it..

the countdown has started.. a year from now things are goin to take a turn.. plannin has started & i don't know how to describe the feelin.. anxiety? excitement? frustration? probably a mix of everythin..

it's a whole different take now.. i came back from holiday feelin refreshed but gradually it worn off & now it's back to square one.. feelin the tension of work again..

next week thursday's our X'mas Party & did i mention to you that the theme's "Bollywood"? thanks to my sister & her reliable contacts & resources, she managed to get a loan for me for the costume.. one of her colleagues has a suit that she's worn once & it comes with accessories as well so good for me.. haha.. i'll try to keep in mind to put up pictures of the party..

**good luck

refresh-ed!

refresh-ed!

so i'm back.. & i've become much more relaxed than usual.. so relaxed that i'm freakin myself out actually..

one trip i definitely won't forget.. the weather was good & it only rained in the evenin, after we've reached the hotel.. we didn't have enough time to fully explore & shop around anyway.. ironic enough, we didn't even go to the beach but our time was well-spent at the Khai Islands.. well, one thing for sure was that the beach was a little far from the hotel than i expected so it was worth it..

i will be back, that's for sure & the next time i decide to go back, i'm goin to make sure it'll be longer than just 3 days..

**enough said..

Salam Lebaran

Salam Lebaran

what a way to celebrate my Hari Raya this year..! "Great minds think alike.." that's what he said.. Guess who my Hari Raya date this year is..?



TA DA..!

yeap.. my one & only aBaNG.. *sigh* it was so funny because just as he reached MaMa's door & i turned around to greet him & MaK NoR, our jaws dropped & we pointed our fingers to each other & went like "Hey..!!" it was so hilarious..

this year's Hari Raya is pretty special.. sunday i actually went visitin with my brothers & also not forgettin my married sister.. *sigh* how i missed those childhood times.. it's been a couple of years since we last had a group outin.. normally we'd go visitin as individual families (which really sucks)..

yesterday i met aZMaN & i super-love his new haircut..! makes him look more serious than before, i have to say, but he's still the crazy MONG-ster that i know..

we had a sucky monday evenin, unfortunately, but there was a lesson that one of us has learnt from this "trick He played on us"..

**love you sayang..

appease

appease

overly excited.. that was how i felt yesterday, knowin that i'll be meetin the S_O ladies for iftar.. it's one of those gatherings that you look forward to each year where you'll get together for dinner or over coffee & fill one another in about what's happenin in our lives..

it's a meaningful one for me this year.. it's probably the 1st meet-up that we actually sat down after dinner & had serious conversations.. may it be a learnin process for us, now that we've learnt the meanin of true friends..

ladies, thank you for not being judgemental.. thank you for the understandin that you've showed.. 5 more months to our 5th aNNiVeRSaRy..

**today i woke up with a heavy heart.. last night i couldn't get to sleep.. i'm bearin the feelin of guilt & i don't know what to do..

i don't know if it's a good idea to call you..
i don't know if it's best to leave you alone..
all i know is that i'm very sorry & i'm hurtin inside because i really don't know what to do..

Getaway..!

Getaway..!



check out the pics from the links.. courtesy of iDaDi [most of it..]

i had the BESTEST weekend ever..! i had my 2 BESTEST buddies & my sister with me, chillin out at the porch, watchin the torch from the garden die one by one, doin silly things & laughin ourselves crazy.. what more can i ask for..?

my parents & my brother left for JB on friday.. iDa, my sis & myself left on saturday afternoon & we reached at about 6.30pm.. it was a long ride to the house.. slow movin traffic delayed the normally-2 hours-max journey but it was worth it.. we got donuts, ayam madu& soft drinks.. MuM cooked fishball soup & rendang daging & she also bought some other snacks.. gosh.. i can't continue..

after breakin fast, we sat around the living room & watch tv.. i was waitin in anticipation for aZMaN to arrive.. i thought he'd probably reach latest by 9.30pm but he was stuck at the JB immigration.. i shan't elaborate here though..

i think i'll stop here.. let the pictures do the talkin..

my wonderful weekend

my wonderful weekend

he cooked dinner last saturday.. i came over & had dinner with the family..

PhEw..!

i survived.. they are really nice folks.. am so lookin forward to meetin them again.. well, that would make it this thursday then.. hehe..

we went crazy at Plaza Singapura on sunday.. we bought baskets for my room, flowers for my mum & phone for the house.. not forgettin shoes, pants & shirts for him.. [somebody's got to look smart for work now so he has to dress accordingly..] we did all this for a full 6 hours..! as i've told you before dear, i never knew shoppin can be so fun..

Friday, September 28, 2007

conspiracy

conspiracy

had a fun "MonteSSori" last wednesday.. headed down to East Coast for dinner which was, to me, a little unconventional.. he made dinner so it didn't really matter to me what i was actually stuffin down my guts..

the moon was full, the wind was just nice & the weather was perfect..



i really enjoy havin conversations with him.. i love his company.. i appreciate his thoughts.. i like the attention.. hehe..~

just as you thought everythin was perfect, the ex-es had to ruin everythin..! conspiracy..?

one was tryin to rub salt into the wound while the other one was tryin hard to find fault.. tough luck suckers.. you guys have got to try much, much harder than that, right love..? it got us thinkin, why must the both of them "appear" at the same time..?

the ex-es from hell..

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

happy 21st to my One & Only SISTeR..!!

happy 21st to my One & Only SISTeR..!!

finally she's 21 but still not grown up yet.. you know what i mean.. haha.. even my mum said so..

aZMaN & me got her a Nike watch, not exactly the white one that she wanted but a smaller version which came in baby blue & purple.. i know she doesn't like it as much as the white one but what say does she have, right..? hehehe.. aDiK got her "Restaurant Empire".. cool game, haven't tried but will soon.. BaBa & MuM got her 2 pairs of jeans & unfortunately i can't fit into them.. darn it.. can't share.. we had a small celebration, pizza for dinner & a chocolate truffle cake..

anyway, here's VaNeSSa buried in namecards last Friday.. enjoy..!


Monday, September 24, 2007

you made my day..

you made my day..

as you've mentioned in your msg to me this morning, we did spent the weekend together.. i wouldn't have realised it if you hadn't told me..

anyway, thank you for droppin by yesterday with the wonderful tikka/butter chicken i'm so glad you could make it to break fast with my family.. when's my turn..? hehehehe...

*5 more weeks to our lil' getaway...

**i love you, dear...

my significant half..

my significant half..

i was not angry when i wrote yesterday's entry... i guess some of you thought that i was.. hehe.. as i mentioned, i was just tryin to get my msg across to that SIGNIFICANT someone.. you know who you are..



last saturday, we went to the National Museum to catch a Japanese movie.. i don't know exactly what the genre of the movie was but i did find it quite hilarious [& ended just in time for us to break fast..] & as how aZMaN put it as "witty for an old movie"..

lookin forward to more visits & outings with you..! don't forget our date to the Arts Museum this friday dear.. after which we shall have delicious naan [i'll have the garlic ones], tandoori chicken & ice kacang for dessert.. we can then go to Dome & make fun of the baristas there.. do make me a latte this time dear..? i don't want another flat white..

**i love you, sayang..

stupid assumptions...

stupid assumptions...

everyday i keep tellin you the same thing.. over & over again till your ears can't take it, your brain just want to scream "I GET THE MSG!" but i can't help it.. it's just like 50 First Dates, i wake up fallin in love with you all over again.. i can't get enough of you & it doesn't help that time's not always on our side...

over time, i've learnt the meanin of patience & resistance but to put it into practice with you, it's pretty hard.. your irresistible & i have limited patience.. 6 years (3 years, minus the disappearances, engagements etc..) of waitin & hopin is more than enough to drive 1 crazy..

if fate was unfair, we won't keep meetin each other at the oddest situations.. think about it.. what's the odds of us bumpin into each other, when either of us was engaged & havin issues with each other's partners, TWICE? i'm her nemesis & he's threatened by your presence, how perfect was that?

enough said..

2nd day

2nd day

*yawns*

it's 3:48pm & here i am sittin in AiDa's seat feelin sleepy & helpless.. TGIF..!

i can't help it & it's only the 2nd day of Ramadan..! i don't like the new lady here.. she's just so annoying..

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

i'm sorry

i'm sorry

sometimes things don't look as easy as they may seem. you may think that the person you've been with or have known for the longest time may know you inside out & vice versa but that's not the case for many..

you might know what her favourite colour is or how he takes his coffee but there might be small details that could have been left out.. funny as it may seem but even a couple who's been married for 20 or even 30 years have their own fair share of differences and squabbles..

all i'm tryin to put across is that you should never assume that you know everythin & what everyone thinks & feels.. i did & i learnt my lesson..

i'm sorry my dear..

crazy monster..!

crazy monster..!

i had an incredible weekend..! managed to take my mind off a couple of stuffs including the pain on Friday... had a magnificent Saturday morning, fantastic afternoon & a lovely evening... so many things to do yet so little time but at least the time didn't pass by as fast as my lunch time...

i finally got to go to Sentosa after so long... have to go before the fasting month starts... i've never had the chance to go due to circumstances & somebody's personal preferences but now i can finally enjoy the things that i've always loved doing..

fill in later..

tired-ness

tired-ness


Bowling Day..

exhaustion:

- mentally
- physically
- emotionally

that's it.. lookin forward to the short break on the 7th of september.. hopefully it'll help clear the grey clouds in my head..

heard my aBaNG has a show there, happened that there's tickets available & my parents told me to accompany them so why not.. jeez.. now i feel like a lamp post.. thanks to my parents..

i feel like givin up.. on what..? EVERYTHIN! complications has been aroused.. misunderstandings has been created.. that's why i'm tired..! overrated but who cares..

is it so hard to put things back how there were before..? is it so hard to grasp the concept of communicatin & understandin each other..? is it so difficult for you to actually STOP THINKIN ABOUT YOURSELF & BE CONSIDERATE TO THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU..? i don't want to talk about this anymore.. i've tolerated long enough.. i swallowed my pride, thinkin that i was makin the right move by being with you but you have disappointed me.. how do we work this out..?

i don't know

& i don't want to know...

monday morning...

monday morning...

what a way to start the week.. woke up to a cold weather, no mood whatsoever to work.. *sigh* AiDa's on leave today because her daughter's down with chicken pox, that poor girl...

"share"'s went up today but as usual, it came with a price.. Derwent started with us today & the guys who were supposed to fix the wall ports & set up the switch ports delayed their arrival.. it was set tentatively in the morning but was delayed until the end of the day.. was playin hide & seek with the guy in charge.. he called whenever i was away from the desk & i kept emailin him & insisted that he replied to them but as stubborn as i was, he never did..! jeez!

staggered lunch became a "grab-&-go" with Van buyin lunch for AuDReY who never left her seat, mannin to the board.. we took turns coverin the board.. there was always somethin to do..

stupid internet connection...
stupid HK server...
stupid laptops...
stupid cables...

another month..

another month..

firstly, i would like to CONGRATULATE my dearest Dancin' Queen on her engagement on the July 7, 2007.. (i know.. i know.. i'm 10 days late..)

i have been overwhelmed at work & i'm beginnin to feel as if life has ran out of fun.. that is where the long vacation comes in.. *ehem..* i'm wonderin if i could even find a suitable time to take a long leave.. *sigh..*

i don't know if i should continue on like this.. maybe i don't manage my time well or maybe there's just too much work.. i don't know.. i miss shifts.. i miss flats.. i miss jeans & t-shirts.. there are opportunities here but i feel like i'm being hindered.. i can't find the courage to stand up for myself.. this is probably not my forte.. i get mad when it happens but i just don't know how to retaliate..

jeez.. it's 2 weeks to my 1st year anniversary workin here but feels like just yesterday that i stepped into these heels & threw on a powersuit to work..

it's just not me..

there was somethin that i needed to pour out but it slipped my mind.. next time..

**i'm resigned to the fact that i will take forever to put up pictures here.. procrastinate..

***i love my HuBBy..

I made the mistake...

I made the mistake...

i want to PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE to my other half for recklessly hurtin his feelin...

i was such a BITCH & i admit it...

i shouldn't have kept in contact with ANYONE in the 1st place... knowin he's the very jealous type, what was i thinkin..??

i'm positive that nothin can make up for the mistake that i did & i can understand if he doesn't want to forgive me... given the situation, i would have gotten pissed too... i don't want to point out mistakes here but when things happen, they happen for a reason.. don't you think so..?

whatever your perception is about me now, i don't really care because i know what i did & i don't want to look at the past & brood over it...

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

TAURUS WOMAN

TAURUS WOMAN

A slim and moderately tall woman. Taurus woman is funny and jolly. Square facial bone structure, high cheek bone. Her round big eyes sparkle with wit and curiosity. You will not see many round faces Taurus women, and mainly she will have a strong jaw line.

She is a constantly changing person. If she's upset, she will not show it and will keep it to herself for a long time, and will remember them so well. If she gets really mad at you, you will suddenly become a totally and completely stranger to her.

She is a patient person, but always need new excitement. She hates long talk meeting, long and endless conversation. She can be in love with you today, and one day she could act as if she has never loved you before. She has patience with what she wants to do and will never give up until she gets there. She will be very persistent in what she is doing till she has reasons for stopping her project, then she will quit.

Money for Taurus woman is not the most important factor in life. She thinks of money as an instrument for assuring of a good living. She has more satisfaction in achieving her goals more than satisfaction in fine cloths and luxuries. If you like a woman who always thinks of love and romance, then you are dating the wrong girl. You cannot tell her to stay at home, she likes to work and prefers not to work at home.

She loves animals and likes to be surround by animals. Love is in her head, but Freedom is in her soul. She has her own idea about love and afraid to show her true feeling for fear of rejection. She is not the type to talk about love, but she sure has a strange way to show it. She is not good in showing when she is in love, but if she loves you she will be honest to you than any other women.

She will be honest to her loved one, but at the same time seems distant. You will have a good relationship with her, if you allow her freedom. Do not force her to be with you in a poker game which she hates, but let she goes out swinging with her friends if she wants to. She will be different than other girls, and she thinks different is one of her unique quality. She is a public figure but belongs to no one. She will not stay with you, if she thinks you are not sincere. She likes you to have personality, but better not to compete with her. Love her, but not too much for she afraid it will be limiting her freedom.

She always stands out of the crowd for something she dares to do. You could see her dress like a poor farmer dinning in the fancy restaurant, or dress like a nun in an a cocktail dress party. If you are a politician who is looking for a wife, she will make a good one because she is cleverly smart and she can get along socially with any type of crowds.

She is not a jealous type because she has to know you thoroughly before accepting you in her life. She has more curiosity in life than wondering if right now you are flirting with someone else. If you keep a distant from her, or go away for a few days, she will miss you more. Even when she is dating you, she is also able to be fond of someone else, if you do not have something she is looking for. She will never disappoint you or hide behind your back to make you lose face, but she is the type who just going to tell you to your face that "We're better off breaking up".
She always remembers her first love. Taurus woman holds the best record for divorce for she does not care about how people think of her, but everything should be done for "Happiness".

She has lots of friends and sure of herself, so you will hardly see she delays any of her thoughts before her action. If she thinks of something, she will go ahead and do it. She has many men wanting her for her constant changes is the challenge. She can be cute and funny, but suddenly cool and tough. She has her own style of dressing up, so you could see her dress like an old maid today, and tomorrow she may dress like she comes from Mars. She will have that interesting hair, dress and a look unique from anyone else.

She likes to learn about your dreams and your thoughts. She has fun teasing you and making jokes. If she did something wrong, she won't hide it from you, but do not ask when she is not in the mood to talk about it. She hates to owe people money and takes promise seriously. If you promise to pay her back, you'd better pay up.

If you want to make it with Taurus woman, then do not be jealous or possessive, do not be narrow-minded, do not criticize about nonsense or small and insignificant matters. Try to like her friends and let she has her privacy, then she can be very sweet to you.

questions procrastinated

questions procrastinated

i've always looked up to you as someone who i call my brother but at some moment in time, as we grew up i saw another part of you that i still can't put a finger to. i knew it wasn't just a "cousin thing" but i put it off time & time again.

up to this point of time, before i commit myself to somethin that i know can't change once i've agreed on, i just want you to know that you mean the world to me & you're more than just a big brother. i don't wish to make a huge mistake so all i want to do now is to tell you the whole truth & i want to know what's your take on this.

it's been 4 years, Abang, & i'm not goin to waste anymore time because i think i've put it off for too long.

i saw the look on your face last night & it gave me the thinkin that you're unhappy & resigned. you can lie to your friends, Abang, but i don't think you can lie to me.

oh it's nothin.. just a mental breakdown..

i got hurt recently.. & i still feel hurt.. it's probably just my ego.. maybe it got scratched.. or maybe i'm just over sensitive.. you know how women are these days right..?

..how about an extended memory?

..how about an extended memory?

yeap.. that's probably what i want for my birthday this year.. an extended memory size for my BRAIN that is..! another case of information overload.. *SiGh*

been so occupied at work lately [like what's new, right..?] with what, i'm clueless myself.. all i can remember is that i'm readin through materials & doin a little hands-on on secretarial stuffs such as welcome packs, different types of virtual packages & things like that.. doesn't sound heavy but add this to my normal daily routine & what you get is pain in the brain.. it's awful i tell you..

been learnin how to do some of the other closings for invoicin & such too.. i'm tryin to remind myself to remind my brain to take a break but apparently i keep forgettin to do so.. i probably should get more sticky notes or somethin..

anyway, aYuL managed to recover the pictures from S_O's 4th Anniversary.. i'll put them up as soon as i can..

back to school

back to school

i'm starting my classes [again] in April.. if everythin is confirmed, my 1st class will be starin on the 24th of April & the 2nd class would be on the 27th.. i can't wait to go back to school..!

has been hectic at work recently.. it's probably just me, i guess.. to the extent that i dream of work & people at work, i think that's a little too much.. by the way, the painkillers (for my feet) from Raffles Medical works very well.. i think i'll get more from my doctor..

on a personal side, i don't know if what i'm doin is right.. i'm just followin my instincts & my heart..

last week my mind was constantly thinkin of somebody.. it was very bad & it wasn't like as if i wanted to think of that person.. it just happens.. well, no more occurrence so i'm almost certain it was just a phase..

**i love you..!

..& it happened again

..& it happened again

yet another fun & fruitful evening with the s|nGLeS_OuT ladies.. well, as usual meetin up has never been "normal".. the ladies should know what i mean.. hehehe~

on our 2nd anniversary, i can still remember how my sandals came apart just as aYu "fetched" me from work.. i had no choice but to hobble back to O'briens & grab another pair of available shoes.. guess what happened on this year's anniversary.. that's right..! my sandals came apart AGAIN..! i called aYu to rescue me from embarrassment & together we went scourin for somethin for my feet.. notice that it only happens when i meet aYu..? i should probably NOT meet her first the next time..

went down to M.A.C to meet up with s|zzY & told e-BoO that we'll see her there.. while waitin for her, we were makin jokes about how she would turn up at McDonald's instead of M.A.C & obviously we were right..! she called aYu & asked where we were & told us that she was already at McD's.. hehehehe~ that's just so her..

had dinner at Sakura, Far East.. almost walloped the waiter for gettin our orders wrong.. thank goodness the ladies were around or i might have just stormed out from there.. geez.. strolled down to Party World beside Crown Prince Hotel & spent a solid 4 hours singin our lungs out..! at the end of it all, our anniversary was a blast..

love you girls..

**pictures please.. my camera ate the pictures up.. *sigh*

anyway, here's a big welcome to our NEW Servcorp blog.. take a sneak peek into the typical "a day in the life of.." in Servcorp, specially brought to you by us.. hehehehe..

i'm keepin it as simple as possible so that the ladies can blog in their entries easily.. such a coincidence that Servcorp decided to change the colour theme to the same blogskin colour that i chose [blue & orange].. synergy..? hmmm..

bimbotic-ness

bimbotic-ness

you know, i just don't literally get it sometimes.. maybe this is what they call life; full of ups & downs, clear skies & obstacles, expect the unexpected etc.. personally, when times are cool, they are really cool but when things heat up, they just tend to blown out of proportion which leaves a big, gooey, ugly mess in my already-muddled-&-very-messed-up head..

you guys out there.. YES YOU! what i don't get is, why are you guys so freakin fickle?? you say we girls can't make up our minds but HEY listen up, i've got my fair share of knowledge from being around you creatures too long & i jolly well dare to say that you guys are no better than us.. in fact a bunch of you clowns are much, much more pro at this fickle game.. & some of you.. why can't you just let go of the past?? what happened before is now called HISTORY..! don't be such idiots, alright? get over it, MOVE ON.. geez..

sorry for blastin.. just needed to clear my mind..

"it's funny only when it happens to someone else.."

"it's funny only when it happens to someone else.."

the familiar phrase.. the trademark that never failed to irritate me but at the same time makes me smile..

he resurfaced.. he BLOODY well resurfaced after all these months.. but all's good between us now.. i think.. i hope.. i've learnt to let go & tried to pick myself up when he disappeared [again].. the only place i could seek solace & words of advice was from HaiZiR.. thanks bro, for the sound advice.. appreciate that..

anyway, a year ago, on this very day, i remembered how my day was spent.. although it wasn't a day for celebration for us, i enjoyed myself very much & i'm sure he did too.. i recalled how it was such a coincidence that our off day happened to be on the 14th & that we had wanted to go do somethin "artsy" by ourselves.. in the end, we went to the Singapore Philatelic Museum & The Substation to watch short films together..

whatever..

justification..?

justification..?

sometimes it's hard to please everyone especially when EVERYONE is under pressure & they expect SOMETHIN from you all at the same time..

as much as i don't want to appear ungrateful, i might already have.. not that i want to but as i have mentioned above, it's so hard to please everyone.. i don't even know if i have made the right decisions so far.. knowin myself, i'm bound to regret a lot of things..

i don't know how to apologise to a very good friend who, i know, i've hurt so much..
i don't know if i've met the right person or the path that i choose is the one that i REALLY want to follow..
i don't know what's goin on actually..

1st issue - maybe i just didn't like the fact that everybody was assumin that we are a couple but that was like ages ago.. maybe i'm just haunted by it.. up till now, i can't stand it when anyone makes a joke out of this matter.. it just makes me so mad..! somehow, i'm so scarred by it but i don't understand why.. he's helped me so much, he was always there during the FALL period & he hasn't done anythin wrong but i JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T LET THINGS BE AS THEY WERE..?

2nd issue - i'm gettin the cold feet suddenly.. i have no doubts about him because i know what he is really into & it's definitely not GIRLS.. just that sometimes i feel pressurized with the current situation to the extent that i can't even think.. i just wish that he can really, really understand..

gimme a break..

Wednesday, February 07, 2007

breakin my back..

breakin my back..

i don't wish to whine but it's the truth.. my back hurts..! all the shiftin, pushin & pullin of furnitures yesterday has made me broken..

HaNN got into an accident this mornin.. don't know what to do.. cross my fingers & pray hard that YvoNNe approves of my half-day leave today..

Monday, January 29, 2007

½ of ½ is..?

½ of ½ is..?

i finally threw away the Fossil watch yesterday.. i had kept it thinkin that i would change the strap or somethin but yesterday i took a long look at the watch & decided "heck.. i'll get myself another Fossil.."

yesterday i went to AiN's weddin @ her place in serangoon.. was surprised to see her in the outfit.. she was smaller then i expected..! the decoration was simple but nice.. the colour combination was not really my taste but all in all, it was ok.. had wanted to take pictures with her but there were too many guests so RaJa, HaNN & myself decided to take our leave..

i had initially wanted to go to my relative's weddin @ pasir ris but when i thought of how HaNN would get bored at home by himself, i decided not to & spend the rest of the afternoon with him shoppin.. well, HE was shoppin, not me.. managed to get for himself a pair of jeans & a shirt.. we are, afterall, simple shoppers.. *WiNkZ*

found a pretty black lace top @ bugis.. going to grab that once i get my pay.. speakin of bugis, we went to collect the ring yesterday.. just last friday we went to the jewellers to make the payments & at the same time do a fitting.. i didn't know i had such a small ring-finger.. hehehe˜ so confidently, i asked for a size 10 which, obviously, was too loose so the lady looked at my finger & suggested that i go for a size 8.. unwillingly, i agreed but hey, it fit! i gave the thumbs up & we got the ring..

preparations' still underway.. i've not done any calculations whatsoever but in time to come.. so many things to take note of.. lucky i have iDaDi to help me..

today AuDReY is actin rather STRANGE... must be somethin in the food that she ate this mornin.. SIGH.. [if you see any typo-errors in this entry, must have been AuDReY's fault..]

tense.. & patience

tense.. & patience

i didn't know marriage can be such a pain.. so so many things to do & prepare! GOSH! havin never been there before, it does sound interestin but how does one actually find the space to breathe?

first things first, how do you know that you are ready for it? & when you are, how do you go about doing all the preps & stuffs? some people take a few years to do all these but some get married within a year or 2.. & there's also the objections from some members of the family & hurdles & barriers to go through.. even as i'm readin what i just typed makes me tired..!

but on the other hand, i have to say marriage is a beautiful thing.. no matter how grand or simple the whole affair is, i believe that at the end of the day the happiness of the couple is what's most important..

why am i talkin about this? i don't know.. just felt like it i guess.. tell me, if you were a parent & you have a daughter how much would you ask for a dowry..?

My Hopeful 2007

My Hopeful 2007

HELLO 2007! Happy New Year to everyone..

it has been a very challengin 2006 for me.. from the trails of entries, i'm pretty much sure you know what i'm talkin about.. 365 days ago, i was typin in my entry elsewhere & was in the midst of my exams.. what a way to start 2006.. & then there was the job hunt & the matchmakin plot which didn't work out..

from the reunion of best friends to the reunion of 2 hearts [that never made the headlines..] THE FATAL FALL..! the neverendin quest to get the cast removed.. geez.. the far away friend who filled my nights.. OH! World Cup! let's not forget that..

well, so many things had happened & i don't think i can recall each & every detail.. whatever it is, they have passed & it's time to look forward to a brand new year.. new job, new friends, new colleagues, new sayang..so many new things..!

anyway, i had to bring forward last year's resolutions due to unforseen circumstances [if you know what i mean..]

1 - get myself a job
2 - pay off my bills [not all's paid up though..]
3 - get my driving license [erm.. this year probably..? hehe..]
4 - complete my Diploma course [by this year.. i promise!]
5 - FINALLY find a real guy to settle down with [FOUND!]

on a final note, here's wishin everyone a joyful 2007.. stay away from wet staircases, do not cross the road while SMS-ing & PLEASE avoid breakin any bones.. take it from me, it's no fun at all..

The Apple Tale

The Apple Tale

WARNING! what you are about to read is based on a true incident. all names have been changed to protect the dignity of the shamed man..

hehehehe... nah.. just kiddin.. i'm pretty much over it.. what actually happened was that the apples that i buy for the pantry runs out in matters of minutes & it irks me so much that i had to find out who the culprit was.. when i finally found out who the person was, i got so pissed off with him that i gave him the cold shoulder.. BUT..! being the kind hearted person that i am, i cooled off eventually..

anyway, a late Merry Christmas to all of you out there who celebrated it.. i personally don't celebrate Christmas but this year was a little different.. i attended my very 1st Christmas party organised by my company, a Christmas dinner held by Persequor, a client from our floor & a Christmas lunch, again by my company.. in total, i had 4 Christmas presents.. i received a Nokia 6233 & Nokia 7390 from Persequor alone, a goldplated cuff from YvoNNe & a black purse from my Secret Santa Pal.. nice..

oh.. i have another present from HaNN.. He bought me a pair of shoes.. they are not JUST a pair of shoes but a pair that i eyed on 2 months back & the special thing about it is that he remembered which pair & the colour.. he's such a darling..! must remember to pay him 20 cents or he'll walk away from me.. [erm.. a superstition that AuDReY has nagged to me about.. *SiGh*]

what went wrong..?

i'm feelin down in the dumps.. things don't seem to go right somehow.. i got 78% for my Hottdesk re-test which means that i would have to re-take again.. don't know if i mentioned this before but 1 of the requirements to get a confirmation is to obtain 80% for the Hottdesk.. so near yet so far..

i wish i can spill out my thoughts & feelins but i can't.. i hope it doesn't build up inside..

met iSMaiL yesterday.. wish we could talk more.. it's been such a long time since i sat down & really express myself to a close friend.. i'm happy that he's doin great with his girl..

Return of the 60's..!

Return of the 60's..!



that's a bad picture actually.. what do you expect? the picture was taken after the whole thing ended.. hehe..! otherwise, it was a great party.. for those who are clueless about what i'm talkin about.. well, we had a X'mas party last evenin & the theme was Austin Powers [60's].. it was pretty excitin as i've not been to any X'mas parties & yesterday i did have fun with the other Servcorp ladies.. i'm very sure that we took a lot of pictures from the fact that there were a lot of us who went around snappin pictures with each other & some of the clients..

the excitin part about the whole thing is that we get gifts from our managers..! after the whole event was done & we've cleared all glasses & plates, we had our dinner & then TaiNe gave out presents to all of us.. YvoNNe gave AiDa a Guess handbag, AuDReY received a Swarovski Crystal necklace & i got a The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York goldplated cuff bracelet.. thanks YvoNNe..

the one with the flu..

finally.. after 4 days of stuffy nose, dry cough, spinnin headaches & terrible stomach cramps i'm [almost] back to my normal self.. it probably started when i was caught in the rain during lunch & on the way home from chua chu kang last friday.. or maybe i got it from the Persequor team.. hhmmm...

anyway, AiDa was on leave on monday & tuesday.. AuDReY's still on leave & i won't see her until next week monday.. it has been terrible..! thank goodness VaNNeSSa & YvoNNe was still around.. i don't know how i would survive without familiar faces on the floor..

simply UNFORGETTABLE..

simply UNFORGETTABLE..


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

an absolutely marvellous musical i must say.. i'm glad i was able to watch it.. the actors, the props, the music, the lightings.. GOSH! everything about it was amazin..! i was impressed by the lead actor's ability to speak Malay so fluently.. Stephen Rahman-Hughes was Hang Tuah & Tiara Jacquelina played Gusti Puteri.. here's a brief of the play:

A stunning musical – in Singapore for the first time after two highly-acclaimed sell-out seasons in Malaysia – Puteri Gunung Ledang brings to life the legend of an ill-fated romance between a beautiful princess and handsome warrior, set in the kingdom of Majapahit in ancient Java and the Sultanate of Malacca.

In it, Puteri, the princess, dreams of true love. Her brother, Gusti Adipati, the ruler of Majapahit, however, has different concerns. His kingdom is undergoing attack by Demak, a warring state. He enlists the help of the Sultan of Malacca who dispatches to Majapahit an army led by his loyal subject, the warrior Hang Tuah. Puteri and Hang Tuah fall in love and agree to meet on Gunung Ledang in Hang Tuah's homeland, Malacca, after the battle. When the battle drags on, Puteri decides to wait for her beloved on Gunung Ledang. Little does she know that she has been betrothed by her brother to the Sultan of Malacca.

Watch this intriguing story of romance, heroism and tragedy unfold against a dazzling backdrop of breathtaking sets, music and choreography.

Feel the magic of the unforgettable score composed by Dick Lee, with musical direction by Roslan Aziz, Malaysia's magical maestro. At once traditional and modern, the soundscape resonates with gorgeous chorus lines and pulsating rhythms, animated by intricate, spirited choreography. Starring Tiara Jacquelina (Best Actress, 2005's 50th Asia Pacific Film Festival) and Stephen Rahman-Hughes (West End lead actor in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay Dreams).

the GIFT..

the GIFT..


he gave me a gift this mornin as we were havin breakfast together.. well he didn't really give me but he dropped the gift in the paperbag that i was carryin to work.. as i entered the lift with AiDa, i took a peek into the bag & i saw a pink box with the words Sweet Poison on it.. actually i was quite excited about it but since i wanted to share the surprise with AuDReY & AiDa, i did my normal mornin routine, headed for the mornin briefin & opened the box with them..

HE BOUGHT ME A NEW WATCH..! aww..

thanks sweetie.. it's really thoughtful of you..! initially i thought it was a pink watch because of the box but it was actually a pastel/baby blue Baby-G that i could wear to both work & durin the weekends.. he must have got it because i remembered complainin to him about how the Fossil watch's strap broke & i can't use the watch anymore unless i changed the strap.. now i have to think of somethin for him.. 2 more days...

Selamat Hari Raya

Selamat Hari Raya


Selamat Hari Raya to all..!

this year Hari Raya holds a special meanin for me [but it still can't beat last year's..!].. alhamdulillah things have been lookin up for me eversince the silly accident [ok.. ok.. incident..!] i love my job, my family's doin great, i have my best friend & guess what? i have someone to celebrate Hari Raya with this year.. *sMiLeZ* unfortunately BaBa's away for the 1st day of Hari Raya but it's ok.. i'm sure he'll be back by today..

when i met him, i thought he was goin to be another one of those "hi-bye" kind of friend but i was way wrong.. he struck to me as someone quiet & reserved & i was sceptical about meetin him.. turned out, we were of the same frequency.. so much things in common & we were able to share our silliest & most embarrassin details.. he's really cute & i mean LITERALLY cute.. well, not the sort you'd turn twice kind of cute but lovably cute like a cuddly teddy bear.. i don't want to say much because 'A Picture Paints A Thousand Words'.. i'm just happy that i've met him & i don't wish to ask for more..

almost there.. damn it..

almost there.. damn it..


i scored an average of 76% for my Typing & Microsoft Office Test today.. the passin mark was 80%.. was so close..! i took the assesment test in the afternoon but when it came to the actual test, i realised i have been practicin the wrong version..! all the while i was doin Microsoft Office 2000 but the test was on Microsoft 2003..! i panicked but there was nothin much i could do.. oh well.. *sigh* & to make me feel even worse, my typin went from an average of 45 wpm to 38 wpm.. i still have the Servcorp Knowledge Tests at the end of the month & i'm pretty sure i'm goin to flunk that one..

well, i think it's time to trim my hair.. it's grown really quickly & it's now below my collar & boy is it irritattin..! i did an unusual hairstyle today & my manager thought it looked funky.. haha~ what a word to describe my hair..! AuDReY, AiDa & VaNeSSa didn't like it though.. it was what AuDReY called the "Auntie-Goes-To-Market" hairstyle.. i messed up my hair, flattened my fringe & clipped it.. it was messy & it became "bigger" by the hour.. hehe~ at least now i know that my "funky" hairstyle's accceptable at work & now i'm known as The Ever-Changin Hairstyle Hidayah due to my different hairstyles to work.. apparently nobody changes their hairstyle around Servcorp.. guess that shall be my trademark.. *WiNkZ*

The Turkish Dinner

The Turkish Dinner


today i shall be havin Turkish food for break fast.. hehehe~ coolness..! it's been ages since i last had a Turkish meal.. i'm so looking forward to it..

i'm really happy today because not only do i get the opportunity to learn about the internet connection & setup in the office, i was also given the opportunity to learn call pick-up.. the former's part of the secretary's job & the latter's part of the receptionist's job.. i get to learn both their duties which means more things for me to do..! you may think more job, more stress but for me it means it's an opportunity for me to go up the rank faster..

for the 1st time i heard sincere praises from my managers.. it really made my day.. i did a welcome for the very 1st time without any initial formal training & i excelled marvelously.. what a day..!

endure..

endure..


just got back from my 2nd sanctuary.. feels great to finally go up there.. i miss my Purple Femininity Room..! i thought of goin up there again next week but it's yet to be confirmed.. went shoppin while i was there & got myself 2 PAIRS OF HEELS..! yes my dear friends.. HEELS.. i guess i'm just a late-bloomer or i'm just ignorant to the fact that i'm a girl.. for those who know me, u should know better that i don't fancy heels but all's changed now.. haha~ & not only that, i'm a craze for handbags too.. *sigh* look what Purple Femininity Room has done to me..

i think i'm goin to buy a car & leave it in my 2nd sanctuary.. so that my cousin can use it to pick us up when we go up there & at the same time i can learn how to drive from him.. hehe~

anyway, last thursday i was invited to join Umair's goodbye BBQ.. right place, wrong outfit.. TOTALLY..! it was great.. just as i got there i saw NuRuL [Umair's girlfriend] by herself tryin to light the BBQ.. so i decided to help out & got engrossed cookin for a few hours.. still compilin the pictures from thursday so once i've got them i'll put them up together with other pendin pictures..

S.O.S!

S.O.S!


help me.. somebody.. i'm not talkin about hunger here.. it's the sleepiness.. i can't keep my eyes open any longer.. *sigh* thank goodness it's friday which means that i can rest over the weekend..

SaVy & AuDReY asked me along to MoS tonight with some of the other ladies but i think i'm goin to pass.. i need the rest & sleep & i've told myself that i'm not goin to these places durin this month..

26 days to go..

26 days to go..


4 days down & i'm doin fine.. been spendin my lunch time sleepin.. gosh.. most of the clients are out of town so there's not much of runnin out to do.. but there's still the paperworks & updates to be done though.. oh well..

there's a team meetin today at 6 Battery Road.. i don't know if i'll be able to make it in time to break fast at home.. worst case scenario, i'll just grab somethin from here just to break fast & then have a proper dinner at home..

we've been reminded of our work etiquette..

- "they are not your friends but your clients"
- "draw a line between friendliness & flirting"
- "no mother tongue language during working hours"

it stung us but we frontliners were not badly affected because we don't feel guilty about these issues.. just that i don't think it is fair for the management to restrict our movements around the office.. we look out for one another & if at any point any one of us were to go overboard, we would tell that person..

ok.. back to work..

1st Ramadan

1st Ramadan


Selamat Berpuasa to all my Muslim friends & friends who observe fastin.. a few more hours until break of fast.. alhamdulillah everythin went smoothly today.. well, considerin the fact that i don't lunch, fastin is quite easy..

--------------------------------------------

i was glad that i saw u but i don't think it was such a good idea.. i've told myself that i should get away from you so that i won't hurt myself, as egoistic as it may sound.. i have to admit, i slowly developed feelings for you from the moment i knew you.. you have no idea how exhilarated i am everytime i see you, everytime i hear your voice, everytime i see your name.. i don't know.. as much as i want things to go my way, i have no such powers.. i know you can never reciprocate these feelings & that is the reason why i need to get away from you..

it was all good.. it was rough & tough in the beginnin but i was doin fine.. i stopped thinkin about you.. i stopped yearnin for you.. but it just had to happen, didn't it..? when we met, i totally forgot that you are not to exist in my life.. i was so surprised that all rules & restrictions i had put up just lost their importance.. i won't say i regretted but more of a disappointment.. now that i've seen you, i will have to go through the whole process of avoidance.. you don't know what it's like for me especially now that things are different.. i have to draw a thin line between me & the other person because of you.. i hate hurtin people, therefore the line has to be there..

if only i could say all these out loud.. if only you knew..

last wednesday, AuDreY & me got invited by HaNNu for dinner with the Brightpoint boys & Geraldine a.k.a Gerry.. we had dinner at Jumbo Seafood, the Clarke Quay branch.. AuDreY & me took the cab with HaNNu & we arrived before the rest so he brought us to The Wine Garage for a drink before dinner.. i don't really know which type of red wine he ordered but whatever it happened to be, it was pretty heavy.. for dinner, they ordered chilli prawns, belacan kangkong & black pepper crabs.. they do eat a lot from what i observed & they love the greens.. i should have sat beside MaRk since both of us are self-declared non-vegetarians.. when it came to the black pepper crabs, it was so hilarious to see how they ate it.. with all 10 fingers..! hehehehe~

we then went to Zuma for a "night cap" which was 2 hours long.. i was expectin a quick drink & then we'll all head home but the conversation went on & on.. it was fun though.. we got to see the other side of these boys & how silly they could be especially MaRky MaRk.. they are all boys at heart no matter how old they looked..

the openin of the [temporary] Brightpoint office kicked off yesterday after a long week of preparation with the caterers, decorations, the very-difficult-to-find gift & the search for the waitresses..

the expected 20 over guests did not turn up.. instead there were about 10 guests in all & only the Servcorp ladies stayed until late.. i totally forgot that it wasn't my company's party & was runnin around makin sure everyone was comfortable, had their drinks & ate the food.. was just makin sure the party was goin smoothly.. HaNNu got me to the roof terrace & made me sit there with GreG, MaRkY MaRk & himself.. they all gave me a hard time for runnin around.. sheesh.. well, GreG got me a drink & kept refillin my drink & the only time i stopped was when AuDReY rescued me from them.. thanks babe.. owe you 1..

then headed to Zouk since Loof got cancelled.. when was the last time i was there..? ages i tell you.. stayed for a couple of drinks & then went down to MoS with AuDReY to meet up with SaVaNNaH [SaVy].. goodness..! how i hated the music.. managed to persuade her to go to the other side for some R&B & guess who i bumped into? my FeZZy Dear..! hehehe~ i also met FaRiD who looks shorter than before.. or was it just my heels..?

anyway, after last night i couldn't help but to think but i'm not able to share it at the moment.. even as i type this, i'm still thinkin about it.. one of these days..

carefree & unclipped,
it has to end..
for the thought has struck
& the pain has befallen..


*bloody hangover..*

The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada


each time i try to add a new entry, the laptop restarts.. sheesh.. anyway, hopefully it doesn't do it again now because this is the 5th attempt already..

well, let me just start by sayin that i loved The Devil Wears Prada.. it was like the exaggerated story of my worklife.. the alien workin environment, the runnin of errands, the dream of being able to be a journalist.. so coincidential isn't that..? i wish my life will turn out like hers..

it has been a fruitful week though.. have been able to find things to do to increase my bonus & the clients have been super nice..

last friday, i had my 1st mooncake..! a snow skin one.. with a champagne & white chocolate center.. it was a gift from Hannu, one of our clients.. he bought it for the Servcorp staff from Raffles Hotel.. ok people.. time to morph to Sleepin Beauty..

Di's engaged..!

Di's engaged..!



[clockwise fr the right:FiFi, iDaDi, MySeLF & MeeRuL] Best Buddies..!

last saturday was iDaDi's engagement.. alhamdulillah, everythin went smoothly.. i finally get to meet her fiance, ZaiD.. after so long.. supposed to reach her place at noon but i ended up reachin there at 3 p.m. hehe~ met MeeRuL at the interchange & we headed off to her place.. can't blame me.. the night before i was already so tired & straight after work, i went over to iDaDi's to help her with the preparations.. went home just before midnight.. i even missed my medical check-up.. hehe~ will put up the pictures soon.. once i got them sorted out..

anyway, everythin is lookin good at work.. sooner or later, i'll be able to leave on time at 5.30.. yippie..! my back pain is an on-off thing.. got it again today.. the doctor said it was just a muscle sprain but i know, clearly, that it's more than just that.. i didn't tell him about the accident, fearin that i would have to undergo another x-ray.. anyway, there's a team outin tomorrow.. everyone from 6 Batt, Suntec & Prudential is meetin up for The Devil Wears Prada.. lookin forward to it..

bottle up this emotion,
seal this destitution..
an impaling self-reflection,
in need of a reconstruction..

lingerin on this lonely mind,
that one love, i've yet to find..

pointless

pointless


so simple yet complicated
so profound yet superficial
what happened to true beauty?
& love's first sight?
tearing the walls of frustrations
but stumbled into a rut of despair..

giving up on the hopes of all's fair,
curse the wretched destine laid forth
pointless anger vent in vain..

what more can i do..?

ROUGE

ROUGE


finally..! the Open Day was a success.. well, we were expectin a lot of guests in the afternoon but probably only 30 over people came which included the REAs, hoteliers & serviced apartments management teams.. 6 p.m. & my family was the 1st to arrive.. wow.. i showed them around & ushered them into the boardroom for snacks & drinks.. then everyone's family & friends came & the whole floor was jam-packed with people to the point that i had to weave my way through people just to get from the boardroom to the pantry to refill drinks & food.. in total, i opened 4 bottles of champagne & a bottle of red & white wine each.. at the end of it all, i felt like i was workin as a banquet waitress.. hehe.. pourin wine & champange for them, makin sure the food's enough for everyone & clearin the plates & glasses from the tables..

anyway, after the whole event, some of the ladies decided to celebrate the openin & at the same time cool off after 2 weeks of hard work put into the settin up of the new floor.. we went to Balaclava but the place was too busy so we headed down to Rouge instead.. we had our 1st round of drinks but then Jo had to leave because she was fallin asleep on the sofa..! spoilsport..! AuDReY came to join us at about 11 p.m. & we ordered a 2nd round of drinks.. SaVaNNaH's friend joined us shortly together with his friends.. apparently, aLeXiS was celebratin her birthday there as well & i joined her at her table for a couple of minutes.. we really let our hair down last night.. everyone was just crazy.. hehe.. most importantly, i had a great time de-stressin & i feel great now.. it's like a burden just got lifted off my shoulders.. PHEW..!

Finally..!

Finally..!


it's FRIDAY..! ok wait.. technically it's saturday but heck with it.. haha..! it's "Sleep-In Day"..! i get to wake up late again.. hurray..! hehehehehe~ actually, it's not the sleep-in thingy that i was cheerin about.. friday's the last day for us to finish up with the preparation for our 1st official workin day on the 28th.. yes FINALLY..! hopefully no more stayin in to finish up with the prep because everythin is [almost] ready for operations..

it has been a hectic week & my back's payin a price for it.. no more runnin around Raffles Place for last minute shoppin for the office like a mad woman on the loose, no more repeated trips to the bank to cash out money & scurryin back to the office.. & best of all, no more interrupted & postponed lunches..! i can now have lunch dates with SaVaNNah & the rest of the ladies or find a cool spot & do some readin without havin to run last-minute errands that take ages to complete..

anyway, i have firmly decided.. i shall cut my hair whether you guys like it or not.. what kind of style, i can't describe but you'll be sure to see it at some point.. hehe~

Happy 1st Anniversary

Happy 1st Anniversary


yes.. a good 1st anniversary of singlehood.. i never knew i would experience such a thing & really didn't expect that this will happen to me but i'm thankful though.. a whole year of thought-sortin, soul-searchin & self-review.. it's like takin a vacation from work..

as i quote from my MSN, "Grey Skies Don't Matter No More.. In Fact, Nothin Else Matters.." nothin really matters to me now.. [erm.. well.. not EVERYTHING though..] everyday is almost routine-like & the typical me is not the sort who digs routines but because i don't [really] care, it seems like an "ok" thing now..

i leave you now with an impromtu picture of some of my colleagues..

[clockwise from bottom left] JoaNNa, AuDReY, mE & SaVaNNaH..

FYI.. i'm in one of my swings again.. just keep a distance from me for the next couple of days.. i need to find myself.. for some reason, the rational part of me is in a daze..

i'm not sayin to COMPLETELY AVOID me, just KEEP A DISTANCE.. mind you, there is a difference.. i'm not im my best of moods..

Prudential Tower

Prudential Tower


i'm so sorry but i had to delete the previous entry.. my entire life is at stake..! well, ok not the entire life but still it concerns my future so i think deletin it was the best way to deal with it.. to those who've read it, forget what you have read & for those who didn't get a chance to read it, tough luck.. hehe~

anyway, 1st day at Prudential Tower wasn't that bad after all.. i have to admit it, i kind of like the place.. my very own desk, my very own space, my very own email address & most importantly, my very own extention..! cool..! hehe..

time passed so fast.. left Battery Road at 8.50 a.m & reached Prudential Tower at 9 a.m.. the office is a little confusin but after time i'm sure i'll get used to the floor.. we played around with the cool digital IP phones, the new PCs & i got a chance to have a "bondin session" with the uber-cool pantry.. my little play-space.. hehe~

what felt like an hour was actually 4 hours..! didn't notice it was already 1 p.m & none of us had gone for lunch.. i decided to go at 2.30 p.m & i came back at about 3.15 p.m & continued helpin out the new Auntie with the pantry stuffs.. we worked some more & then i realised it was already 6.30 p.m & we were all still in the office..! remembered i had an appointment with the insurance guy & quickly rushed over to Burger King @ OUB.. finally reached home at 9 p.m & amazingly i'm not as tired as i was normally..

well that's all i wanted to share for today.. lookin forward for tomorrow.. *WiNkZ*

no matter what..

no matter what..


wednesday.. 3rd week.. WOW.. by the end of next week, i have worked there for a month already.. time passes so fast.. i didn't realise it was that quick..

had tea [& coffee & cheesecake] at the new Coffee Bean @ Millenia Walk.. a different ambience compared to other outlets that i've seen & visited although i have to admit it was pretty cold.. well, partly myself to blame.. was wearin skirt today instead of pants suit.. anyway, loved the way the guy reacted when i ordered my usual Peppermint Vanilla tea.. hehe~ he thought i wanted a tea latte at first & when i said it wasn't tea latte, he panicked & called out for his manager.. caught his name in the process & guess what..? his name's FaiZaL.. hehe~ back to the story, i tried my best to explain what Peppermint Vanilla was but he really didn't get what i mean & finally after a few minutes of exchangin confused looks & uncontrollable fits of giggles [by yours truly..], he got what i meant BUT they ran out of Vanilla.. darn it..!

would like to chill out over at that outlet again one of these days.. it's a really cool [& cold] place.. love the songs they were playin too.. aight.. goin off now.. need some shut eye.. really, really tired..

the belated b'day dinner

the belated b'day dinner


i know this is VERY, VERY late but here's wishin GreGGy a Happy Belated Old-Day.. hehe~ well, planned a birthday dinner for him @ Swensen's yesterday & glad it went ok..



yes i know i look like a monkey, grinnin from ear to ear.. but i can't help it.. i was laughin when they took that picture.. notice anythin PINK..? anyway, the four of us [GreGGy, sTeVe, aLeXiS & myself] had a semi-ridiculous amount of food.. SEMI-RIDICULOUS.. we didn't reach that uber-ridiculousness level.. *SiGh* somethin IS wrong somewhere..

i'm goin to go do my checklists now.. until later..

Sunday, August 13, 2006

saturday night & here i am..

saturday night & here i am..


i had the best sleep ever yesterday.. reached home at around 7 pm & fell asleep all the way until 2.30 am in the mornin..! had a quick call from FiE & continued sleepin from 4.30 all the way until noon.. hehe~ cool eh..? well, somebody's just jealous.. huh..!

anyway, stayed home for most part of the day & iDaDi came over to get some stuffs off the laptop.. had a last minute invite for dinner @ Komala's, Little India from GreGGy & sTeVe.. thank you so much GreGGy for not tellin me that you invited your co-workers along for dinner.. jeez..! we were suppose to meet at 7 & it got pushed to 7.30 & well, i decided that 8 would be a good time given the fact that iDaDi was still usin the laptop.. if i knew that their co-workers were there i wouldn't have delayed the time.. so basically, it's all GreGGy's fault [as usual].. hehe..~ i didn't know i was hungry.. maybe i wasn't hungry.. maybe i got influenced to order another set.. i don't know.. hehe~ i had Poori at first & those 2 silly Canadians had the Dosai.. then GreGGy ordered a set of Bhatura for himself & a set of Poori for sTeVe.. so upon seein that, my appetite grew & i decided to order a set of Bhatura for myself.. hehe~ yes, i was full.. well, it was followed by coffee at TCC.. now that made me really full..!

ok, enough about food.. i want to put up the pictures that is still pendin here but i'm just too lazy i guess.. oh well.. will update soon..

PART II

PART II


4th August 2006, Friday

finally..! TGIF..! i survived a week of work.. hehe~ btw, just a side note, i didn't proof-read my entries so i might have left a word or two out..

one thing's for sure, i'm goin to "pay back" for my lack of sleep tomorrow.. i hope my parents won't scream at me for wakin up late tomorrow.. hehe~ i didn't know workin in the CBD area could be so tirin but hey, it's worth it.. no wonder they are payin me that much.. the work load is not that bad but the fact that i'm on my feet most of the time, runnin in & out of the offices & i have to work on both the 30th & 31st floor, it makes my work load seems a lot.. heard the new staff is joinin us on the 14th.. hopefully when she comes in, my work is reduced a little so that i can concentrate on my trainin..

2nd August 2006, Wednesday

Happy Humpday..! it's wednesday everyone.. middle of the week which basically means there's 2 days left till the weekend..!

had my 1st formal meetin just now @ 6pm.. wow..! i felt completely out of place.. the ladies were talkin about things that i don't know about.. you know, the usual office scandals, politics & such.. amongst all, i like AuDReY the most.. she's approachable & funny.. every single thing that i say seems to be cute to her for some reason..! jeez..! quit that..! & yeah, today everyone was dressed in their best.. coincidence.. like JoaNNa had a pair of new shoes, HaJeRaH was wearin a new top, i was wearin a new suit & someone had a haircut.. anyway, the agenda of the meetin was with regards to the company's version 2 & soon-to-be updated website.. wasn't payin much attention to it because i was just too tired but what woke me up from my "subconscious" state was when i heard that they were goin to train us on the navigations of the site.. i'm pretty sure it's goin to be interestin..

i like workin there.. i like the fact that there is always somethin to do & there's no one breathin down my neck.. 3 days & already i've learn quite a number of things.. just a slight discomfort that i encounter is that everyone treats me like a "little lady".. that's how they like to put it as.. there's no one there who i can talk to comfortably.. there's this aura of seniority [& i'm talkin about the age gap between them & me] around each of them every time i try to strike a conversation.. in time, they will realise that they have used the wrong approach but all in all, i'm just glad that they are nice people.. did i mention that my feet is takin a toll from work..? it's all plastered now with blister pads & band-aids.. not to mention the effects of work on me AFTER office hours.. funny how my body knows that i've reached home because everyday without fail, after i've taken my shoes off & sit on my bed, the whole system just crashes..! that's when my eyes start to droop & my legs start to ache & my body just "dies" on me.. oh well.. that's me now.. hehehe..~

PART I


28th July 2006, Friday

today was "Tannin Good Times" @ Sentosa.. was a last minute plan actually.. went there with FiE, s|zZy & FFiZ.. throughly enjoyed myself as that was the first time in so many months that i was able to do somethin that i really enjoyed doin.. had breakfast at the interchange & then headed to Habourfront to get some stuffs from the supermarket.. we boarded the bus & we were off to the beach.. we went to Siloso, found a spot & got ready to splash.. unfortunately, the spot we got was "contaminated" with oil due to some spillage but that didn't deter us from enjoyin ourselves.. found another spot but it was a slightly more borin but we made the best of it.. i took lots of pictures but realised [when i got home] that they were all in small size.. sheesh..! it's ok.. there's always a next time..

had about 2 & a half hours of tannin.. NOT ENOUGH..! but like i said, next time.. love my skin now.. the result's as close to what i wanted.. had dinner @ the interchange.. FiE, s|zZy & me had Mee Soto & i think FFiZ had Fried Noodles or somethin & the silly name thing just had to occur.. hehehehehe~ sorry FiE.. they accompanied me on a quick shoppin trip for my work stuff.. got myself a pair of pants & another jacket.. ESPRIT mind you..! [it was a good deal, goin for 1/2 price.. how can i resist..?]

26th July 2006, Wednesday

i would like to share my happiness with everyone who is readin this.. i've got a job & if everythin goes well, i plan to make it my career.. i'm so exhilarated that i still can't believe that i've landed myself this job.. the position i'm holdin [or soon to be holdin] is not as glamourous as what some of my friends hold but i can assure you that if you happen to bump into me after office hours in an outfit you thought you'd never see me in, don't be alarmed.. hehe..

FiE's right.. i need to do major re-works to my wadrobe & i need a filled cabinet of new shoes.. he left the handbags part out but i think that's not important for now.. i'll be startin on the 31st & i really hope that everythin will run smoothly.. you can never know what can happen.. never really have worked in this line before, i will have to adapt to a very different environment & very different workin attitude.. i'm just afraid my dorkiness will be revealed on the first day of work but dorky or not, you guys will find out when i write an entry about it.. high tea anyone..? *WiNkZ*

hopefully with this new job, things will take a turn for the best.. no more cold wars, no more sarcasm being thrown about, no more conflicts.. finally, one of few wishes fulfilled..
