Argh.... Dui!!!

I was feeling very dui that I forgot to use my GV card when I bought the 4 tickets to the movie X-Men Origins - Wolverine, coz members should be entitled to discount right?

I was more dui when I saw members could exclusively get the FCUK dog tag if they buy 4 tickets at GV Vivo or GV Marina.

I had wanted to watch at GV Marina but switch the venue to GV Plaza coz our last outing were at Marina the last time.

I hardly go to movies, hence the lack of practise to use my card.

Shit de neh. Could use the dog tag to pin my donkey bag!

Unforgivable Shoes Spree

I bought 2 pair of shoes today... and this make my list of pending new shoes to be worn to 4.

I only wanted to get rid of my super high heels which I wore with excruciating pain exerted on my fat feet every time. So I brought it along with me to the new shoe boutique which is offering 15% for old shoes trade in. What a timing for me! I was thinking how to get rid of it the other day! My aim was to get ONE pair of shoes for work, since I have only 2 pairs which are more appropriate. I ended up buying TWO pairs coz I was seduced by the buckle one they showed me while I was waiting to try the shoes. -_-|||

I have 2 pairs of shoes currently being rotated for wearing, the black one being my favorite, which is quite worn out, the white one for dress-down day. 2 pairs more for pretty pretty only. Recently snagged one from Jia coz she couldn't wear it.

Anyway, I am almost hogging the shoes rack all to myself already. I own a total of 12 pairs, which is just 5 pair less than Dad's, Mum's, Jia's and Min's all add together. =D

Min corrected my blog heading, I wanted "Unforgivable Shoes Sin", but she commanded, "You should type Unforgivable Shoes Spree!!!!!!!!!!"

Ok lor.

Hard to manage Hair

It's been a month since my haircut, not sure whether it is because of the hot weather, or it is just my hair, it has become very 鸟。。。

Like 鸟巢 like that...

Has an urge to cut it even shorter... but the, it probably doesn't do me any good, and my fat face will be fatter...

Got straightening tongs, but not too keen to use it coz I will be sweaty by the time I finished pulling my hair sleek.

Rebond, no money and I don't think I need super straight hair, i just want it to be be naturally straight. The right side perks like Jamie's butt.

How???

Wah Lau Eh

I went to sign employment contract today.

And I brought my IC photo along as stated by HR. So I assumed it was for the employee pass.

Well, never assume, it really makes an ass out of me.

Because I had assumed, I went there in my most casual form: Hairband, specs, no makeup, not even my makeup base which tones my face color.

And in the end, I have to take a picture for my employee pass, by the HR people themselves. I was utterly shocked, shocked, shocked. I had enough of ugly pass photographs!

I can imagine how ugly the pass photo will be. Shit. And I'm thinking how to hide that picture already.

I'm employed once again!

I was so happy, elated and excited that it totally felt like I received the letter of offer from NTU again! The adrenalin rush is so overwhelming!

I totally could forgive my hard disk for dying on me!

This job was totally unexpected, coz the second interview was the formidable lady interviewer and I didn't feel like I performed that well. Still, I'm glad that they decided to give me a chance and offer the job.

It is like how an unrequited love being requited!

Ever since I graduated last year, I totally shunned the software engineer jobs, coz I don't think I like it. But then, to be a network engineer, I have to start from bottom low, which was totally unexpected, coz I expect my degree + CCNA to give my a jumpstart, you know? Anyway, life work in a miraculous way, they more you run away from it, the nearer you get.

After I left JNJ, I was hitting nails for my job hunt. So, I went to pray, where my aunties said very zhun and I told the gods, please please please, let me find a suitable job, a good job, a nice job. And it so happened this job was the first interview I went after after praying. And really miraculously, I was informed of a second interview, 4 hours after my first interview. I really believed the gods heard me. I had thought that I behaved like a monkey in front of the 5 panels for the first interview. So a second interview was totally unexpected. Furthermore, I met the formidable lady interviewer again in the second interview. I saw my chance evaporated.

A lot of thoughts passed through my mind during my jobless period, "How? No money already", "Haiz, cannot buy", "Dunno can survive till when", "Guan Yim Ma, did you hear my prayers?"

And the job came to me like a beacon of light. It seems like 冥冥中自又安排。越觉得不可能发生的事, 竟然发生了!Dun want to believe also cannot.

Of course, I shall prove to myself that I could actually be a software engineer! A good one too! There were many times when I thought I can't make it, but I did. So shall this time too!

And you know, it's a good karma! Because I am happy that I got a job, so I want to buy some food home as a mini celebration. I happened to be in PS, coz I was actually there for a interview, but then, after some twists and turns, the interview was pushed to Mon and then after that, I had to cancel it coz I accepted the job offer. Then I remembered this roasted shopin PS Kopitiam, opened by the Mediacorp actor whom my Mum like very much. So I decided to buy from there. And because I went there, I saw the actor! So star struck!

Must make use of the opportunity to take picture right? I was telling him how much Mum likes his show and called every guy she saw "Machi Boy". I forgot to shake his hand after the picture, but then he already had his arm around me, who cares about the handshake? Mu ha ha ha!

Damn it, his face is so small compared to mine!

Back to my hard disk. No more heartwreching about those files, but still, need to bitch a bit.

I knew my current portable hard disk was near the end of its life, that was why I wanted to transfer the files over to the new one when it died. Suay lor. Managed to revive it for 10 minutes by putting in the fridge for about 30 minutes, but it wasn't enough for me to transfer all the photos over. The hard disk still runs when connected, but the drives just refused to show up.

Bo bian lor, 2008 is photoless year for me. and 2008 is so full of wonderful memories!

Maybe can hog friends who had my photos. =D

I'm not a kid doesn't mean no praises.

My wardrobe's knob has been hanging loosely. My parents had tried fixed the knobs for me twice, but it didn't last more than 3 months and it started dropping out again. So today, I observed a little bit, and decided to fix it the other way round. The screw was driving in from the inside, then the knob would push to the screw from the outside. So I fix a screw inside the knob and screwed in from the outside, and it worked great, just to need spill some glue inside to fasten it. I was so proud and happy, and I told my mum that "I am very clever because I fixed the knob", coz it's not everyday that I do some carpentry.

Instead of getting praise, all I get was a string of cold words, "Of course you have to be better than us what, you study so much!"

I was thinking, "Why I am I getting diss? Did I just pour sarcasm on my mum that she diss me?"

Is it so hard to earn praises?

Wifely qualities

Jia commented on my entry on the "Wife".

True enough, we were so much more independent when it comes to housework, and not to mention that we pass with flying colours sometimes. The training no doubt, brought some special envy amongst friends and relatives when they knew we could do this, we could do that.

You should see how Jia and I "work" during CNY, some aunties are so god damn envy of my mum who produced such good daughters, ha ha. Yes we complained about the tiring work, but we still do, coz is a family tradition.

Of course, I am proud to say that I do a better job in cleaning because of my low tolerance level for dirtiness. Not to say Jia don't do a good job, just that she has an unusual oversight when it comes to dirt, so I usually do the cleaning.

However, one thing I never do was to wash the toilet, partly laziness, coz I only do things I familiar with, and toilet washing was something I hardly do. Before Feb 2009, I think I only washed my home toilet thrice.

And now, my newest hobby, is washing toilets. I think my mum will be proud, now that I wash it on regular basis, especially during my bath time. My dad will probably faint when he sees the bill next month.

Next time, go market also must change clothes.

Wah lau, I was practically threw into the situation without any preparation.

My mum had been helping my next door PRC neighbor sourcing for a job, so today, our 12th floor neighbour, whom my mum was working for, had a similar job offer for the neighbor, and said that she would bring her there.

Well, I assumed my mum would go along with the neighbour, aunties mah, get along much better.

So I prepared my bag, thinking after sending the neighbor, I would make my way to Northpoint.

To my utter shock, I was to go with them! To Novena!

I had no time to change out of my pajamas, which were like a super nua old T-shirt and a shorts that kept rolling up. Even if I had requested them to wait for me, I could just imagine my mum nagged the following at me:

"Aiyah, no need lah! You always wear like that go out mah! No need to change! Anyway, she (12th floor) will drive you all there, a short while later you all make your way back, not going shopping, no need to chnage lah! Don't waste time already, she got appointment!"

Even if I wore pajamas out to somewhere, at least not so nua, you know. Like a sports berms, with better slippers. I'm sure you all have a standard dress code, like which types of clothes are to be totally wore at home only, some for wear within 1km, you know. I'm walking around in shopping area wearing my sleepwear! To think I spent time packing my bag instead.

Feel so totally awkward, coz the shorts kept sticking to my butt because of my sweat, had to pull them inconspicuosly!

GAWD! Totally felt so uncomfortable! This taught me not to be too lazy next time.

But then, I probably looked quite alright, else my mum would have nagged at me already. She had been dissing me for wearing pajamas wherever I go, but then those were like better looking, you know.

A Wife

It was just a random chat about a random topic with a male friend whom I had known for about 4 years.

He was mentioning that after knowing me for so long, he still doesn't know what I like to do for leisure. So I replied I do read, usually on girly stuffs. He said girly stuffs reminded him of cooking and sewing (my girly stuff actually meant beauty tips and fashion), so I casually told him that I do know how to cook and sew, although they aren't really my hobbies.

"Wah, you know how to cook ah? Then you make a good wife leh!" He typed back.

Excuse me, I can't help but feel a little dignified, why must a good wife knows how to cook and not husband? I was quite appalled that he had such primitive thoughts, I always assumed he was those modern guys, who will tell their gf/wife: Dunno how to cook/wash/iron nvm, we get a maid lor!

I'm not trying to promote feminism, but then, if one can cook makes a good housewife, is that why all the adultery with the maids happening? Then what makes a good husband? Bring home the bacon?

As we debated on the issue, I further probed him what makes a cooking wife such a big turn on for him (Yeah, it turned him on, heat up the stove babes!). Was it because it kinda make him proud to have a wife who knows how to cook, compare to someone's wife who doesn't. He nodded.

"So, your potential future wife must know how to cook?" I retorted.

"Not a must, but good to know." He replied. Hmm, so in so, still must know how to cook lor, and must be part of his package, which I think is Beauty + ___ Skills (Fill in the blank yourselves.), cooking is a bonus.

I dunno if I will ever cook for my future potential just because he loves it, but I do hope that future potential will learn how to cook for me though. However, most of the time, it is the women who pampered and stroke up the men's ago leh. I think men will only cook during the pursue process. I've seen many cases where my female friends who can't even fry an egg, went to learn cooking just to shower love on her boyfriend, because he likes to eat this. Just too many cases which kinda put me off at times. What did the bf do to shower her with love other than empty promises and fading flowers?

Oh god, I sounded so much like a spiteful spinster once again.

Can't help but to mention it once again childishly: As much as I heard so many compliments about my cooking skills (er hem, the baked potato lor), cleaning skills (I am damn proud my obsessive cleaning and organization skills), and being praised by a guy that I makes a good wife who can cook(roll eyes), where is The One?

Bloody hell. I think I know why.

Aiyoh, I cannot finish again!

The psychometric test was tougher than I expected leh... I couldn't finish the first part, think I still have 10 questions to go...

The second part was relatively easier, still, I think I accidentally shade the wrong answer at the last second. Think I spend too much time reread the questions.

The personality questions were... too many! I took exactly 45mins to do it, some people finish halfway through the sessions.

Am I too slow or too kiasi?

Chor lor Jamie bump into my face while I was drinking, and then I accidentally bite the lips. Painful siah!

The interview is tomorrow, porbee porbee please Tua Peh Gong and Guan Yin Ma!

Big 8

Crap! My weight on the scale hit the big 8 again! Shit!

Formidable Lady!!!

If only my wish could be as true as this, I indeed got back the same lady interviewer as last time, which is my worst fear for this interview!!!

As if having 5 panels was not bad enough, of all things, I least expect to see this lady again.

Roar... and she recognize me some more, I must have given her a memorable answers the other time. (That interview was disastrous)

I was still wishfully thought, even if I got back the same interviewer, she would not remember me. I have shorter hair, and the colour is different, and this time round no specs.

Yah right, the moment she saw me she said I looked familiar.

So much for the change.

Another interview upcoming. Tua Pek Gong, please please please let me fly though this Thursday's job interview.

Challenged for compliments

I'm a very non-competitive person, so basically, I'm always not up for challenge. But then, when the situation arise, it does ignite the tiny weeny spark somewhere in me to accept the challenge.

And in such situation, usually because the compliments are not directed at me, so I feel disappointed, and I know I have to do something to earn those compliments.

In a way, I survive on compliments because I do bothered by people's opinions at times, which isn't very good lah, coz will think too much about other people's thoughts. But, who doesn't like to be complimented, right? Just have to sieve the quality and quantity out of it, truthful and sincere compliments.

It's a good cycle: want compliments, work towards the goal, earn the compliments, feel good about, put in more effort to achieve goals, earn more compliments.

Right, so I shall turn words into action. Time to hit the gym again.

In love with this

Somehow for some reason, I'm obsessed with this kind of hobo bag...


Nah, I don't need a Gucci. I first lusted after it when I saw a United Colours of Benetton hobo at Taka. The print looks like Coach tho.

So I try to search for a similar one at C&K, which I did, but I dislike the strap.

Then today I lusted another bag... Miss Gwee lah... The bag looked so nice on her.

I better get a proper one for interview and work, the current one is gonna break sooner or later. The strap has already started to tear.

Early Morning Rage

It's only 8.40am, and my house had been down with 3 raging fire moods.

The first was Jamie, then me because Jamie made me so with her mood, then my Mum.

Needless to say, my mother slashed out on the all of us the whole morning, finding everything with fault and scolded us all. Her lasted the longest. She was still kpkbing to my dad right now.

If only she could calm down, she would have realised we didn't not do those things to make her pissed, I mean why would we want to kenna scoldings from her? For fun?

I would have cleaned that spot if I had seen it, obviously I didn't. Didn't she hear all the water splashing inside the toilet, what, she think I play with water is it?

Really bad day to start with. And tomorrow I'm stucked at home to help her with those offerings making, she better in a good mood.

Heaven knows how long she needs to be in this mood, 说来就来。

Sucks to be woman.

Some entertainment

You are warned, please do not eat while reading the following entry, coz I think you will just burst out laughing with your rice flying everywhere. =)

I'm having an interview tomorrow, but instead of devoting my time to prepare my questions and answers, I actually dig out all these photos and had a good laugh! And the reason why I dig out all these photos was because, I need a passport photo for tomorrow. 独乐乐不如众乐乐!The below photos are in my hall of fame/shame, ha ha ha. I have it because it is either very nice, or it is very damn ugly.

PAP K2 grad pic, look at those puppy eyebrows! Apparently, my double chin has been with me since 6 years old.

This was taken in P4, after school, hot and sweaty and grumpy. My eyes looked cocked, the specs looked more cocked.

This was taken in Sec 1! I remembered queuing up, and then adjusting the tie, and I was still very happy in the first shoot, then without warning, the photographer just kachak the next shoot, hence the dulan face. The hair obviously was very very very untame.


This probably in sec 4, dunno for what and dunno why so sad/grumpy/listless. I like the hairstyle tho, that time very popular. Supposed to be layerised, but I combed it behind the ears.

Oh! This one is taken at a model agency! Yeap, you saw it right, model agency. Out of boredom after O'level, me and my friends went to this agency, and we signed up as Calefare! =) My "first show" was 笑傲江湖,and there were Fann Wong, 李茵珠, 曾诗梅, 陈秀丽!And I sure know how to make a grand entrance, I fell flat on my face the moment I entered the studio! And without specs, I actually dun recognize the above actresses, even when I was holding 曾诗梅's hands.

This should in Poly year 2 already, coz I am wearing a T-shirt bought on purpose to piss someone, I was wearing contacts and my hair is coloured. =) I like this photo! Had a nice tan colour too.


This photo was taken in the instant photo booth at NYP, on my way to NCS for interview, and was pretty last minute. The booth takes 4 different shoots. The first 3 was okie, but the last one was a mistake coz I tot someone pulled open the curtain! My smile was stiff too, coz I was so hot and sweaty and nervous. First job interview leh!
Ugly like shit... The hair especially...

Complimentary photo shoot from the primary school I worked at, it was supposed for the pin-up staff photo on the board. I never thought I needed to be in too, so I wore tee-shirt to school, and ended up had to borrow a blazer from one of the school clerk. I used to wear tee, 3/4 pants and slippers to work, until the VP suaned me. By right I had lost quite some weight, but then, still looked fat and with a huge double chin.

Somehow, I think I looked like a bouncer. If you cover away the boobs, I do look like a fat man.


Ooh!!! My favourite and most recent photo, taken last year in NTU instant photo booth. Had a good hair day, nice brow week and radiant look.

Gonna take a nice one tomorrow, just in case... I don't have any more passport photos already.

Comparing the poly one and the most recent one, I really aged a lot siah...

Missed out one Ultimatum Ugly like Hell pic...

Everything is so wrong, the Hair, the fringe, the specs, the face, the Chin, the neck, wait, no neck. It is ugly beyond words!!! I am not surprised if someone who don't know me see this pic and assume it is a guy. I looked like those boys with spilling fats over the pants and had to keep pullng the pants up every 3 seconds because I am too fat and lumpy to keep the pants on! Wah kao, fugly is a better word! This was during 1st 3 months at YJC.

Hideous! And what's wrong with my face siah? I looked so tiko!!! Machiam I saw some panty and grinning to myself stupidly!

Empty Threat

Did I ever mention that, Jamie is like a mini me?

Despite the astrological difference, there are just too many similarities between the 2 of us, I feel at times.

The way she buy things like she has a lot of money, ha ha ha

The amount of chocolate she could lay her hands on and stuff herself with it

Not to mention she copied my current hairstyle, had a red specs and have clothes that the mini size of mine. Hmm... machiam my die-hard fan siah. (I is bhb again)

Anyway, so to say, Jamie's many actions reminded of myself and very often, I know what she was thinking.

Something was not right when Jamie told me on Monday that she has to stay back on Wed to do some Science project research. It was weird coz it seemed like she had the plan brewing in her for a long time. The excuse was too well planned to me and for someone so blur like her, it is weird. So, I told her, don't stay in school, ask her friend to come to our house to do, got food, got drink, got computer mah! What a nice place to do research, right?

Then on Tues, she said her friend couldn't make it. Ok, fine, can't make it, then Jamie will have to come home.

Then on Wed, after I had waited for her 10 mins outside the school gate, she called me on my mobile that her form teacher requested that she stayed back in school to help another teacher to do something...

Very very not right... Why so coincidentally that she has to stay back to help teachers after she told me her fren cannot stay back for the research? Anyway, I asked her what time would it end, so that I could come and pick her up. She said 2.30pm. Fine.

So I got home, wanted to email the form teacher whether Jamie was speaking the truth. But then, I don't want the teacher to have a bad impression of Jamie, and i scared she will confront Jamie in the whole class and embarassed her. So I didn't email.

I went to fetch Jamie at 2.15pm, as it was a 15mins walk to school. At 2.20pm, Jamie called me and asked where am I?

Now, based on our past experiences, Jamie would always give us a call and determine our location, so that she would have ample time to make like she was indeed in school or doing whatever we thought she was doing. She deployed this tactic the last time she pontan tuition class.

So, I was pretty sure that she wasn't in school helping teacher. So when I saw her, I lied to her that I had emailed the teacher to check whether she was telling the truth and should it not be, she is doomed.

Now, usually in such cases, if she was indeed truthful, she will exclaim loudly, die die also say she is correct. However, this time, she just kept quiet. Eyes look shifty some more.

I think I behaved the exact same way when I was caught playing with friend instead of at an ensemble practise when I was in primary school.

Anyway, at night, I received her full apology plus her own meted punishment in a "love letter" laid on my dressing table. My empty threat worked and I didn't even tell her that the teacher replied or not.

她屁股一翘, 我们都知道是小号还是大号!She can't lied to us at all.
