It's back to corporate slavery =S... work work and more work... However I'm glad most of them are away on holiday and left the few of us to do stuff taking our own sweet time! Sweet stuff...

Went for this tennis refresher course on Monday. Had fun! Although I gotta admit zohter and I are a bit of a klutz that the coach and the assistant got so flabbergasted! hee.. Not that it was our intent.. we just have 2 left hand and 2 left feet!

Anyhow zohter was feeling down yesterday about how jiao sent her this article about friends are not there all the time. In the end all that matters was the person who fluff your pillow in the night and pick your pills when you are towards the end of the lifecycle.

Totally understood how zohter felt. I mean when I was in friendier terms with jiao.. she always mention friends are but a phase. Well.. call me a sap but I reckon a friend is just as important as any companion. How can there be any comparison in the first place. I think the reason why we felt out is partly because our belief in friendships is so much different. Zohter on the other hand felt cheated if she was thought to be like just a passing cloud. Sigh.. I mean there isnt anyway you can change ppl persepective actually. Told her to accept it and at least we are still best of buddy.

I know she have this needy feel whenever she felt she have no friends she can trust or talk to.. Hmmm... got to get her in the dating circuit again!! *bleah*

Geeze.. this is like the 6th day after CNY.. and I am still rotting at home. Totally oblivion to what is happening at work! Thanks to my kind boss office closure! Although I got to go back to face work and whole lot of crap but I am so thankfully for this 2 days every year where everyone drag theirselves battle with festive fatigue to work ... while I bask in my bed and gloat about others predicament! heee

Got my keys to my new flat. Jk mum actually asked him for a copy of the keys. so she can come as when was what I was told at first. Had a huge arguement with him. Wassup with him?? Imean yeah it's your mum but I paid for the flat half half!! This is suppose to be our flat not all our relations~ geeze! Still peeves about it. Told him no way the keys are going to any of our mums. This is like some drama show.. I know I sound like a spoilt brat for voicing this out but really.. I do need my own space... Maybe it is just me.. *shrugs*

Anyway.. happy thoughts!

Trying my best to look for a job now.. I am ok.. maybe yet to sent out any resume but I am working on it.. I will send them out you know. Just that the present one is killing my time and night classes is about to start... okey... goign to get down to it...eventually.. sigh... life's a big drag!

Sunday... Awww.. got to work tomorrow.. have to tahan my boss impromtu funny antics like 'So how is the agreement with Paris?' or 'Did you get to talk to mitch on their arrival next week? you do know the aerospace show is coming rite and hotel is full rite??' Which is fine if he asked me when I am in his office but not when I am on my way to wash my cup or to the pantry! So many stuff! How to know which one?? *Sigh...* Ok.. nuff 'sobbing' about my daily work life. Afterall CNY is coming soon!!

Went to this Ah Yat Abalone palce for CNY lunch on company tab. As usual my table full of people who are crazy over the fact that I dont take shark fin. I mean I am no saint but it is my beliefs. Cannot anyone respect it? I dint even tell them my belief while I was at the table. I dont do that.. I just say I dont eat it! Geeze! why do they have to make it like some new world discovery or sorta! Got to get out of that place soon!

Get soo...oo peeves at Peg over at work.. the IT person. I dont know wassup with her and work but she cannot help us when we have IT problems then why is still at the job? Getting her to help is like a task 10 times more difficult to feeding the lions at the safaris! the lions are way more easier! *Forgive me while I crap on this.. I'm bitchin!!*

First the thing about my presentation slides.. fast forward like 1 month back when I was due for a presentation in US. Asked her to help me with my slides because I have trouble inserting pages and pictures.. coz the pictures was always not 'compatible' or something. the conversation that follows :

Me *over the phone*: Hey can you help me, I've a problem I need help and I need them done before I fly tomorrow
Peg *over the phone*: *TSK* ok ok I be over *tsk* her tsk is like ... you know those are you dumb or what those kinda of big clues and hints!
Me * called the 4th time and day is ending* : Look I really need your help... can you help me with my slides a bit?
Peg*over the phone* : *TSK super loud* OK OK I be over *slam the phone*
ME fuming mad but keeping humble as i need help still!
When she is over.. she took a look at my presentation and again follows :
Peg: So wat you want? *irritated look and switching my solitair to play while I explain*
ME: I need you to upload this picture and blah blah *work stuff*
Peg *did a few shifting change the picture format and stuff for maybe 2-3 pictures* Yells loudly.. wah so easy also dont know .. simple you know.. *at this time I totally got so enough of her*
Me: Ok thanks for your help you can go now I can do it myself * looking not smilely or apolegetic just a stern face*
Peg prob. sense my displeasure but I told her no thanks..

Fast forward to present on thursday..Like I mention I lost my work pass.. lucky me n she's the one incharge of the work pass to have them made in US no less!!! Told her need her help so she ask me to send my picture to her.
Went to my room sent by kodak image immediately.

Over the phone conversation :

ME: Hey, pai seh just sent you the picture can you receive it?
Peg: *TSK* how can you send like this?? send as attachment can?
ME: OK.. sorry.. *immedaitely send by words attachment to her*
*Call again* me: Done.. is the attachment okay?
Peg: *TSK* Why you send by words ? * as if i am a big doofus*
Me: Oh.. you need it in what form of an attachment?
Peg: *frustrated tsk* Cannot you know.. tsk more.. never mind I change it lah *slam the phone*

Wassup with her!!! Wat is with this attitude! Sorry for disrupting her reading her stupid chinese novel she downloaded from the net. Can't you just do your IT stuff with a bit of non frustration?? I am not trying to sayanything here but I think at 31 and single.. she need someone.. her temper getting all weird and all!!

Ok.. nuff bitchin...

After work on friday my fabulous colleague in Paris made me stayed back till 7 in the office with the whole building empty.. met up with teng, al, hock and wife at holland V for crapping.. Life is so borin... wanted to go clubbing but change of mind.. mum and dad not in sg dont want to leave my precious mutt alone for too long *I should download his picture sometimes* Zohter busy with schoolwork anyhow so no kakis also! sigh!!

Yesterday spent the whole 2 hours haha ya only 2 hours rearrangning my clothes wardrobe *not a lot of stuff.. i only got that many clothes* try to clean up a bit for CNY.. hate it but no choice!after that went to watch Goodbye lenin.. Nice show.. i think it totally funny how love can drive one person to do certain things ... as anticipated.. bought an extra ticket when someone flew us kite! Told ros to doublecheck and all... but the inevitable still happened..that is charged to my credit card ald..

Went dinner with ginko nut and bin and went home to keep my mutt company. Jk, teng and al went to help hock and wife move house and I bail out because of the outing... they must be cursing me.. hahah but I got the tickets for the show ald.. so no go!

Blogging at work... AGAIN! Added some stuff on the page.. not first class but at least it works. Haha!

These few days very unproductive. Not doing the exercise as per resolution.. just go home switch on the TV and bath and sleep and the work drill repeat itself again and again.

Anyhow receive an sms from Des about returning me the dough that I help him give as a gift to Hock way back in May for his ROM. Frankly I thought we will manage a meet up or something. Since May dude! Are we still friends or what? Hate to call him to meet up but you know being the ms nice that I am *really lah* I feel obliged to! Teng tell me to give up.. I mean how many times you need to ask a person wanna go out before ppl officially bestow you the title of PEST??? He's weird lah.. if you dont call him you feel guilty when he start saying we dont regard him as frd... if we call get 'slap' in the face with his excuses *which is so tiring*... blah!

OK got to go back to work... oh yes! book tickets to Goodbye Lenin!! Yeah... Arts house film!! My favourite.... looking forward to the outing this Sat!

Just affirm that I lost my blasted work 'pass'! Where the hell did I dropped it??
What a lousy morning to start with. I was just wondering where did lost stuff goes to? Does God have a big purse and keep everything and when we go to heaven he pour everything out and we go through our stuff? Hmmmm.. My clothes are still not back from USA and my colleagues are driving me crazy.. why can't they just ship it out to me when we have shipment everyday!

Ok.... Kinda want to talk rubbish.. so here I am...

Tuesday, January 13, 2004

I am still trying to figure out this thing.... STILL!!! ARRGGH!
OK.. I thought I might be able to solve this hardware but as apparent I am still trying!



Was going to spruce this thing up however the computer have to take a break on me while I am halfway through! Arrghh!!



Anyhow here's a summary of the last few days when I didnt blog..



1/10/04 *SAT*





(MORN) Send dad to the airport in the morning... He was going to HK for like 10 days despite the SARs but it is for my cousin wedding so.... then went with mum / jk and manda *my niece* to eat Prata at offshore. *they serve the best prata .. jalan kayu and thomson please take a Q number and wait to get on my fav list*.

(NOON) Went to Teng's condo for swimming.. jacuzzi and sauna! It was fun .. I mean I always love the feeling of swimming in a condo... sigh.. when is it my time! Still mad at Dad! If we went to the open house fast back 3 years ago we would have finally get a chance to stay in one! hmmp!

(EVENING) Went to Hock new place to look. The renovation almost done but frankly 20k to spent on that house is like way too much because I think they only done the bare minimum and I saw ppl who use the same amount of money and turn it into showroom style.

(NITE) Told Mike to forget dinner because was too tired so took a train back home from the west all the way to Tamp!! Cancel the club and outing or whatever I had planned. Reached home and plonked in front of the TV and sleep! Haha..


1/11/04 *SUN*





(NOON) Sleep till late.. Went to lavender for lunch with JK. Went to Bugis, stupid nike slipper spoilt so went back to tamp to change into slippers! Sigh..

(NITE) Went to Mall, loiter ard and got myself a pair of shoes for 20 for New Year. Still cannot see any clothes that I like. But I caught sight of a MNG Sweater like Jacket. Still thinking if wanna buy it.. 49 is not pricy but nor is it cheap.. sigh.. I love the sleeves! So long! Might just get it.... Went to NTUC and got groceries then sorta caught a bit of the fund raiser thing on TV.. but if you asked me I felt the Stars were you know faking it. However I love the segment of the real life patients. That is the only thing that would have prompted me to call in.


1/12/04 *Mon*





WORK Week with MONDAY BLUES!! ARRRGGHHH.. where's the weekend???






So here I am .... loafing off on my job again on a Tuesday... just got so much of the trash at work sigh... where is the new job? Oh wait I am suppose to look through the class ads to send in my resume. Lazy again!!! OK... resolution!! I try at least!



Wait.... before I leave... zohter was telling me about 'late' again.. After I cancel on her to go clubbing on Sat she went out with late and jiao plus bfrd. She say it totally felt uncomfortable and stuff. she felt late avoiding her.. hmmmm why are guys so giving her a hard time?! She's only looking for a guy that can commit! Geeze!! Not that she's not pretty but wassup with the male population? That the thing about being too tall... your choice get too limited. I am just lucky I got JK. My blasted ego have never 'allowed' me to date a guy with the same height as me. Classic Jon is the perfect example.. the zouk guy who was so smitten with me *he's nuts lah* I couldnt stand us walking together and find all sorta excuse to cancel, sit walk far away .. that was one tragic date!



I should add one more resolution to my list... to get her a bfrd. Actually mike is really perfect for her. All my fault! too much neat and ruin everything for her! sigh! I blame myself till this day! What is this thing about alcohol n me! sigh!!!

Although not much... but I'll get down to it... I didnt know I was this good! *ok maybe it is not good to you but it is tons good for me!!*

Just remember I forgot to add another resolution to the ald planned list!

5) To get back to my cell list of friends. I have their numbers and I dont call then you think about it.. why the hell do you still keep their number then! hahaha... Anyway that was my 2003 resolution and I done like half.. the I still kept this guy cell whom kinda stalk me at Siam.. 'OH NO' was a tragic nightmare.. But I think I will keep his number in my cell just incase he called or something.. so I know not to take his call!

Resolution for 2004 ended!

Anyway I was babysitting my 4 year old pest niece yesterday and while at it I manage to do 50 sit up/ push up do 200 skips on my ropes and stretch! I am going to make it like a daily affair. Enough of being so unhealthy *read : Fat*
The pest was asking what I was doing and mimic my actions throughout. Adorable bug...

Then called up my old classmates from poly.. this gal *let just call her* jazz. because today suppose to meet her and another classmates after what 4 years! hahaha.. Anyway found out like a pound of gossips. REalized that the whole world changed except for me! Then keep probing me if getting married and stuff.. wah lau why the whole world so kan cheong???

It is like the time just freeze! Steps called up this morning when I told her about the flat thing before she find out from Jazz. I didnt tell a lot of ppl about the flat I am getting with JK still under wraps. As apparent, I am not too hype abt getting married.. haha!

Anyway my funny mom...just called up to asked if JK buyin ba kwa for us and say she help him buy. So technically is like just taking the money from JK to buy her own stuff. Anyway me buying for the mom also so no lost for him either if anyone of you are wondering!!! And on top of that got to buy those stupid CNY stuff to spruce up the gift otherwise his dead beat dad will give those sarcastic look again! Wassup with his dad!

Listening to this Sheik Haikel rapping abt his daughter from birth to now.. Ode to my gal.. so sweet huh... I bet he and belle are going to be the coolest parents!

Wah ok like so many stuff..

Tonight going for the 'chill' out session *as jazz called it.. I never chilled.. I just thaw.. hahaha* and after that going clubbin with Teng, Man and Hock.. not sure who is going. Ask Zohter but she got to do homework.. so no choice!

Ok I end.... now!
