wheee~
too much hassle to lock, even i myself need to login everytime to access my links.
and since i'm no longer under the scrutiny of evil prying eyes... tada!
i have much to update but laziness overcomes everything. however, we were taught how to write summaries in primary school which is definitely still useful till date unlike silly equations. ;)
the girls gave me a great farewell with a very sweet powerpoint presentation done by justina filled with pictures and lovely wishes by the people. i also had handmade cereal cookies & necklace from Noormie, handmade postcard from Shu'en, farewell "booklet" which everyone took so much effort to write & beautify plus an agnes b bag charm which is so pretty :)
i miss them so!
went taipei for a 7-day holiday with mr porky and had great great fun! food was great & hotel location was soo ideal. bought back lots of cosmetics & skincare. didn't buy any clothes though. went to watch the recording of Guess*3 and it was definitely memorable.
two weeks after coming back from taipei, both of us decided to go KL for a 3-day short trip to utilise his free apartment stay. no words beside "shiok" can describe the apartment! transtar 1st class seat was fantastic too! lots of movies on demand (can choose, pause, forward, rewind), including english, chinese, japanese & korean movies (like around 16 eng & chinese movies each!), plus various concerts & games to watch & play.
been working at the new place for almost a month now. getting the hang of it :) i don't have to work on mondays now cos no classes are scheduled on mondays but once the new academic year starts in dec for us, i'll have to work mondays - saturdays and longer hours... :(
besides this drawback, i do appreciate having this job at my sis's place. candy, my bro-in-law's sis who has been there is very patient & helpful. (and she stays in yishun too so we can share cab to work and back from time to time :P) it has been rather stress-free till date and i have the flexibility of taking leaves or leaving earlier if i have things on, without needing to count the days of leave i have left. i also have more chances to see my nephews & niece whom i adore.
the centre will be closed from 15th - 27th nov so no work on those days :D
i think my sis is gonna book some rooms in sentosa for a few days during that period.
will drop by shenton way for lunch one of those days when i'm off!
birthday is coming in a few days time & i've already had some surprises and celebrations. thanks 38 gang for the angbao & great day singing + outbacking! thanks mr porky for the crabby dinner, gigantic popcorn jar, sweets, chocolates, yummy cake, macarons & the agnes b key ring!
wow.... that's a long summary.
well, till the next one!

freedom awaits
was supposed to be already gone by 19th but i'm staying till 29th to do whatever i can to clean up the department's mountain of templates
i broke down when i handed the letter. haha. quite silly considering how much i've been wanting to leave ever since "ever since".
but there was just a gush of emotions at that moment.
how i'm really comfortable with the people here, with my seat, my computer and the executive toilet. (hah)
how this is my first job after graduation and i'm moving to a totally new industry facing totally new challenges.
how the bosses are sometimes tolerable.
how she is able to finally recognise my abilities and had been giving me more and more new responsibilities.
how i have to leave noormie and keng behind..
how i wont be able to have weekly lunches with xer xer anymore.
how i wont be having my gigantic inbox with emails all the way from 2006.
how i will have to ditch the irritating emails sent by them which i kept till today.
but ever since throwing the letter, there were many instances where i thank goodness for being able to fly away soon. like when she comes up with even more extensive and time-consuming meaningless templates, like when there are people here with asses on their heads instead of the brain, like when one single newspaper article can make the whole company change their business model instantly, like when i have to sit in for 6 meetings in a day, like when i have to answer stupid questions daily from assheads.
i'm thankful.
oh yeah. she asked the welfare team to do a farewell for me. how shocking is that?! but of course it won't be a dedicated session. it has to be combined with joyful events such as 3 other people's birthdays. money is only well-spent that way, ya'know?
anyway, i'm appreciative.
countdown. 7 days to 29th :)
oh yeah. i've not forgotten the dream of flipping the table and breaking the laptop. the slow and sucky lenovo seems to be perfect. :)

control freak
In Folk psychology-related slang, control freak is a derogatory term for a person who attempts to dictate how everything around them is done. It can also refer to someone with a limited number of things that they want done a specific way; professor of clinical psychology Les Parrott wrote that "Control Freaks are people who care more than you do about something and won't stop at being pushy to get their way.
In some cases, the control freak sees their constant intervention as beneficial and even necessary; this can be caused by feelings of superiority, believing that others are incapable of handling matters properly, or the fear that things will go wrong if they don't attend to every detail. In other cases, they may simply enjoy the feeling of power it gives them so much that they automatically try to gain control of everything around them.
****************************
Such an apt term.
I'm wondering how it is to be living a life of a control freak. so unhappy, so hated by everyone, so unloved, so stressed. this control freak i know has been sending numerous emails to everyone in the middle of the night at 4am. what is she doing? does she know it is sleeping time? a time where she can finally relax herself and give everyone else a break?
Every single thing is under her control. marketing, production, database, even nitty gritty stuffs like stationaries, telephone lines, claims, telemarketing, temp staff etc etc etc etc etc. A one-woman-show. Where everybody else is falling under her control, as puppets. People who are not allowed to have their own ideas. Yes ideas are encouraged but when each ideas are faced with 1000 stupid questions by the control freak, no one bothers to try anymore.It's so hard to live her life. Such pathetic life..

nomophobia?
i think i am one, my mobile phone is on everyday 24 hours, and i feel lost if i forget to bring my hp out. it is also my alarm clock, my watch, my torch. hah! :P
I AM NOMOPHOBIC!
read more here, it is really quite interesting :)
i miss her so much! my primary sch "frenemy" turned best-friend.. haha
why frenemies? cos she was in the TALL gang and i was in the short gang =.=
so we had different cliques in class. so duh! :P but hey..kids... that's how they behave..
she told me it's been 2 years since we met up (besides the occasional bumping on streets)
i didn't even realise it's been that long!
but whenever we meet, there'll be countless things to say..
primary school crushes.. how ugly they are now..
how we never ever manage to see her crush ever since graduation and other little girl talks
can't wait for tomorrow night! :)

what's worth?
he is working as a consultant for NGOs over the world and he travels around the world 335 days per year, going places such as eygpt, saudi arabia, africa, myanmar and even alaska to work on community based projects to improve the living conditions of the less-fortunate people.
i don't want to be away from home so often of cos.. but he got me thinking about what i am doing now. 9-6 job.. slogging so that my bosses can get a bigger garden, greener grass patches (& tuition lessons for their children at the lear/ning lab) . is it worth it?
maybe i should look into options such as volunteer work.. working with charitable organisations full time or something (u know some of these actually pays well... *points at NKF*).
hmmm...

Bye.. Xer Xer & Jo Jo
See how my "favourite people" are laughing at my plight - at how I'm left with Keng Keng & Noormie and the others. so sweet! %$^#%^$%^
I'll miss the whispering in office, msn sessions, rubberband shooting, cam whoring, eye liner exchanges, shopping sprees, lunch-outs at vivo, advisory sessions, bitching times, diggings at the nose digger, rocher-cravings, and many many more times with Xer and Jojo..
and i'll be here.. wishing both of them all the best and to soar the skies with their new career :)

回到地球表面
真的是快樂的
遠離了厭惡不已的現實
忘記了所有煩腦的大小事
看著擁有一切的你們
心裡是羨慕的
能夠充實的過著每一天
能夠用自己小小的能力與才華感動每個人
工作上人性的貪濫 自私 狂妄 自大 一覽無疑
實在是把原本充滿希望及熱忱的自己縮小了一百五十八萬倍
[生活] 這首歌也不再能激勵自己
真的不太喜歡現狀
哪裡才是我的那片天空?
那個能夠讓我發自內心的快樂的地方?
生活
水龙头里 流出眼泪 又是残酷的美好一天
眼前有一千件事 正等着解决
Everybody 想要改变
Everything won't be OK
七点的一杯咖啡 八点的红绿灯 斑马线
A busy game
Everyday 活在疯狂世界 活在美好的明天
重重考验 来到今天
不知不觉改变 远离每个昨天
那些笑和眼泪 没有时间说再见
喜怒哀乐 苦辣酸甜(梦的边缘 我在徘徊)
终于了解 这就是生活的滋味
生活太近 梦想太远
午餐是吃饭还是吃面
喜欢忙碌 搞得很累
电话吵醒的星期天
珍惜的浪费时间 换来了的生命的缺
理想划过天边 爱情呀与我擦肩
分不清东南西北 分不清我的地 我的天
A crying game
是不是会有答案 在终点后面
当初的我的信念 现在的我又是谁
狂奔的每个白天 寂寞的每个夜
慢慢发现 I'm superman
-----五月天

beginning of the 5th
i ordered a cake from The Pattissier and had it delivered to his working place with the message "Porky is the Best! :)"
it was hard trying to keep the secret from him..
from plotting how to get his working address from him, to how i encouraged him to go work even though he wasn't feeling well, so that my cake doesnt go to an empty desk on friday..
of cos..he was surprised when it happened and i was absolutely delighted when he called me and the first thing he said was
"what are you up to??"
wahaha
i wanted him to share the cake with his colleagues but he decided to share it with our family and friends instead.

here's a testimonial from our beloved dictionary-deprived client:

Taxi Commuter's Rant
This measure, which was announced by LTA in November 2007, will help improve the safety of commuters, taxi drivers and other road users as it will reduce the number of taxis driving into bus lanes to pick up passengers or indiscriminately stopping along the roads and disrupting the flow of traffic. This way, public buses which carry more passengers will enjoy a smoother and faster journey."
sheesh... *rolls eye*
as a frequent taxi commuter who probably spends half of my salary (ya lah, slight exaggeration) on taxi fares, i'm darn irritated by this new measure. hey, we have to pay so much and cannot get our taxis wherever we want, and cannot drop off wherever we want as well?!? if i want to take a taxi, it means i DON'T WANT to walk right?!
now if i want to take a taxi from my office, i'll have to cross the irritating overhead bridge over to DBS building for the taxi stand. the
promoting road safety? seriously, i think there will be an increase of road accidents due to more people jay-walking to get to the nearest taxi stand. thanks LTA :)

i absolutely detest birds

....of long weekend, fun & happiness
went to miramar hotel's ikoi on friday for lunch. sort of our post-valentine's celebration and my treat with my bonus. :) it was quite good! the best was the salmon sashimi.. succulent, thick and very very fresh.. one of the best i've had since a long time.
and as we were finishing the steamboat, mr porky found a teeny weeny little small ant inside. so we asked the waitress to take it away and she came back with this.....................!
apparently, this unagi is not in the buffet menu so it's a special item. it's the best best unagi i've ever eaten! i had nothing but praises for this while eating it. thank goodness for the ant! haha...
halfway while eating... we saw the chef leaving his counter and was amazed. he came out through this little hole that i'm pointing at. poor man, his back must be aching from bending in and out every single day!
^^see the watch i was wearing? it's a very sweet Baby-G watch that Mr Porky got as my Valentine's pressie. :)
after lunch, we went to catch the show "Jumper" by Hayden Christensen. it's a good show, but not good enough if you know what i mean :)
After the show, Mr Porky started his long long inner struggle of whether he wants to get the Wii or PS3. So he did what I'd always do.... ask friends and family for votes.. haha.. he had such a difficult time deciding, we even came up with an excel sheet stating the pros & cons of both machines. in the end, we decided to go to Qisahn's shop and got the...................
:)
look how happy Mr Porky is..
*oops, he's probably gonna kill me for posting his pics of him with his gay hairband*
we're pretty sure he didn't make the wrong decision cos it's ultra fun!! we spent the rest of sat and sun playing mario galaxy, wii sport's bowling, tennis, golf and boxing.
and my arms are aching baaadly now. i'm so gonna have arm muscles like madonna soon!

Happy Ripped-Off-by-Marketers Day
today is my friday! whooopeeeedooo!!
going miramar's ikoi for lunch with mr porky tomorrow, and to watch "Jumper" after that.
Cant wait for 1800.. as always! haha!
excited to watch the amazing race asia's finale tonight as well. i guess the singapore team will win! cos ah... they have been showing advertisements of 3 teams for sony handycam (sponsor). one ad features one of the guys from the phillippines team & one girl from the msia team. another ad features both the guys of the sg team... "coincidentally", these 3 teams featured on the ad are the final 3 teams vying for the $.
so ya, sherlock chee holmes thinks we'll win!!

happy cny
:(
its monday and i'm in black from top to toe. i'm mourning for my lost holidays. a lot of my poultry zoo comrades are on leave (#$%^@#$%^#$%%^&*), making my monday even more delightful. =/
the best thing about this CNY was that i had a great great time with my niece and nephews. for the first time ever, baby roy came to me and called me "AH YI YO" out of his own will (simply because he wanted to ask me if he was going in the right direction for Mario Kart, but it made my day anyway)
watched CJ7 last week.. i thought it was beneath stephen chow's ability as i really liked his last Kung Fu movie. nevertheless, the little girl was really good and alien was darn cute. clever marketers should come out with the alien merchandise to cash in on its cuteness already
oh ya, i managed to master using fake eye lash within my first try. i am so naturally talented, can't help beaming at myself. haha :P

Bye Nuffnang
So i signed up myself on Nuffnang and after 1 week, i got my first ad.. excited by how much i can earn, i got hardworking and began to start doing "PR & Marketing" for my blog. PR & Marketing as in signing up on bloglog, posting my blogs on Nuffnang's innit thingy, visiting people's blog etc.
So much work.
As my Nike Woman ad ran last week, I was damn excited to see how much i got in the end. My traffic is quite low, so i'm under "Band 1" in Nuffnang terms. From the ad last week, I've garnered a whopping S$1.68. let's say i have at least 10 ads per year. i'll need 3 years from now before i can finally cash out the $50. (their minimum cash-out amount is $50)
woooots! i'm rich. =_=|||
bye nuffnang, i'm removing you. i know i shouldn't expect too much but well.. i've decided to stop wasting my time and go back to be the "housewife-blog".. not the kind to step out into the vast worldwide web and earn money for a living. anyways, i think i'll still be visiting some blogs which i think are interesting to read
goodbye nuffnang :)

RIP Mr Rat
The traffic was heavy and I heard a loud and long horn. It caught my attention and I saw a car driving super slowly, blocking the bus behind. I'm not sure if the horn was from the slow car or the bus behind the car, but anyway... i saw a rat trying to run across the road and the car was driving slowly because the driver didn't want to run over the rat.
The rat finally ran passed that car but on the next lane, a cab (ignorant of what is happening), ran over the rat.
I witnessed the rat, half dead, making its final bit of struggle and eventually giving up.
It's 80% "Oh-noooooooo" & 20% "yikes!"
I'm disturbed. Can't get the image out of my head. Probably gonna have a nightmare.

Swissotel Merchant Court - Ellenborough
the durian pengat was ooooooooooooooooooooh!! it was definitely the highlight of the evening. shared 3 bowls with friends :P however, we could tell that the first serving we had early in the evening was the nicest & thickest.. it became slightly diluted as the night goes on
black pepper crayfish :) it's literally "gone in 60 seconds" whenever the waiter brings out a new tray. it's not bad!
didn't take many pictures cos my battery was dying :P plus, i was too hungry la.. hehe
anyway, my verdict of this buffet is that the only thing worth going for is the durian pengat. the rest of the dishes were so-so only. was quite irritated by the staff throughout the evening. they have a tendency to attempt to clear the plates when we still have food on the plates that we want to eat. we were literally keeping our eyes on the staff's prying hands whenever we walked away from our seat or just talking to each other.
received an sms from mr porky's sis-in-law this evening:
Dinner at Merchant Court Hotel on this coming Wed, 30 Jan. Time: 7pm. Reserved under XXX XXX. Thank u and see u guys there!
*faint*
it's ok, i know what to aim for this time round already :P
durian pengat here i come. again!

Durian Pengat Later!
i still feel like sleeping....
anyways.... i'm going to meet farmz for dinner at swissotel merchant court's ellenborough for buffet later! cant wait. i heard that the durian pengat thing is to-die-for..
wait for my pictures!! i promise i shall not be lazy this time round :P

ZzzzZZZzzzzz
shall do operation 1810 later.
(psst, for the benefit of the ignorant, the few of us at work devised an operation 1800 - leaving office on time at 6pm. but me is paiseh to 1800, so i'll normally do 1810. and yeah, you're right, it makes no difference :P)
countdown: 9 days to payday and variable bonus. hurry! i need the moolahs! super broke this month - study loans, bills, online shopping, mum etc.. not forgetting the 1k to our "lovely home" savings account.
(special thanks to meanie's msn nickname for the countdown :P u go girl! SSC is love!)
really glad to finally send DIST to print. hate boring projects.. well, not like the others are not boring, but this is one of the ultimate ones. =/
can i say that i really don't like the brochure cover? i always prefer the sample ones that i do, but ultimately, the tortoise will always have his way. AND he always love to ask me what I think of his designs. i can only say "ok loh, not too bad la" and he'll say "you always ok one"... HEY LAO WU GUI, can i outrightly tell you that they suck? i'm not so stupid to do that and ultimately get shot by you loh..
