HAPPY NEW YEAR!2009 will be better!!
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.
looking for memorable performances to bring a zest to your corporate event, weddings, social functions? look no further!
I love these 2 women. We've been through so much shit and gunshots, so much fun and maniac laughter together and now they have left the shithole to THE greener pastures.
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 so i realise.. if we have the authority to do our own brochures at work, our brochures would probably look 100 times nicer.
here's a testimonial from our beloved dictionary-deprived client:







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...

^^see the watch i was wearing? it's a very sweet Baby-G watch that Mr Porky got as my Valentine's pressie. :)
