Top Secret

Our office is bustling with work, well, at least for those with 2A clearance. Security audit is coming and many staff were deployed to assist with this audit, to ensure there is no discrepancies in the information, and all were logged down properly. Those without clearance can't touch the files.

So, a colleague was doing some checks and packing up before knocking off, and he asked us, "还有没有Top Secret 的东西 or information？"

I answered, "有，我的三围lor!"

LOL.

不拉不相识

There's a lot of ways of making friends, and in one Chinese saying, "不打不相识" which means from an exchange of blows friendship grows. Well for me was from an exchange of zip friendship grows.

There is this tiny lady who was the secretary of our Com VP. Both of us hardly made small talks as she is always busy. Today, in her midst of her busy phone conversation, I saw that her zipper was undone and I could see her rose colour undie. I immediately stood behind her and signal the other secretary who was in front of Tiny, to tell Tiny that it was undone. As I don't really know her,I don't dare to just zip it up for her, so I stood behind her and protect her rear view. So this other secretary told me to just zip it.

Tiny turned around and looked at me in shock. At this moment, she was already putting the phone down. Then, the other secretary told her why I did that. Tiny turned into a tiny tomato. Her face was so red!

And that's how we started talking.

Apparently, the guys saw it but I think because they don't want to admit they saw it (is kind of like admitting they chikopek), so we (the girls) weren't inform out of courtesy that Tiny's zip was undone until I saw it. (There were a total of 4 woman in the office, 2 were in front of Tiny and I was back facing Tiny, so we really didn't see it until I turned back.)

Well, it seemed that Tiny is a klutzy lady who always had embarrassing mishaps, so it was just like one of her another days. LOL.

My Idol Has a Son!!!

I was so appalled by the news: Jimmy Lin had a son!!!

I was so into him when I was young, coz he was so cute, and never mind the fact he couldn't sing very well. I bought his album, I cut out news that was about him, I followed his every movie, I bought every photo I could find of him until the age of 13, when I stopped. But then, my heart still skipped when I saw news about him!

Until today, my heart almost stopped.

He announced he had a son! And in the photo, he doesn't look like 35!!! Seriously, what a handsome father! *Drools*

Aww... and his fiancee was younger than me! 24! They were together for 5 years! OMFG!

When I was gaga about him from aged 7-12, I used to fantasize being his wife (come on, who doesn't do that at that age about their idol?) Then I would always secretly direct the scene which he would say "I'm too old for you" and I would look at him lovingly and answer "Age is not a problem". Very cliche, I know, but that was what the shows were all about in that period!

Now, at age 25, I do think 10 years gap isn't that big. Haiz, I missed the chance leh!

Another secret thought: I had wanted to lose weight, go work in in his record company, hopefully I would meet him and fall in love with him. LOL.

Still, as his fickle-minded fan, I wished him all the best and may he and kelly (his fiancee) had more kids in the future.

Maths

Was dealing with Jamie's math an hour ago. The question goes like this:

A teacher has a certain amount of money. If she buy 4 balls, she need $3 more. If she buy 3 balls, she will have extra $4. What is the amount of money she has?

Jamie was very certain that her method worked, and she was teaching me how (eh, this part is weird coz I was supposed to help her with this question as she claimed she dunno how to do) and I couldn't really quite get her method, which goes like this:

$/ball ----- $ for 4 balls ----- (+$3) ----- $ for 3 balls ----- (-$4) ----- ok?
#####################################################
1 --------------- $4 ---------------- $7 ------------ $3 ------------ (-$1) --------x
2 --------------- $8 ---------------- $11 ----------- $6 ------------- $2 ---------x
3 --------------- $12 --------------- $15 ----------- $9 ------------- $5 ---------x
.
.
.
etc.

She got the answer as $22, while I did exactly the same method, I got $25. Neither one of us refused to admit the other party has the correct answer, Jamie was very confident and I was indignant that a 10 yo could get it correct.

So Jia intervened, so that we wouldn't have a tie.

The best part? She gave a totally different theory: the maths question is set wrongly.

In the end, it took a combined effort of Jia and me to solve it simultaneously, and the answer was indeed $25. Seriously, I wasted 15 minutes doing the trial-and-error method while I could solve it within 5 minutes using simultaneous equations.

Brain is getting rusty indeed.

P/S: I also got Jamie to edit the grammar error. The teacher was a she and later become a he. Had to add an S to it. Ha ha.

My obsession with neatness extend to Jamie's Chinese compo, almost had to got her to rewrite the whole thing coz sentence structure was too long-winded, too many repetitive words and super untidy!!!

She said "Oh Shit" immediately when Mum threatened her she won't get to go holiday in Dec and have to stuck with me if she can't complete her homework.

Ha, I'm her nemesis.

Dangerous when alone

I think I mentioned before, I am very dangerous when alone. There's no limit to what I buy.

And today, I survived! I didn't buy anything!

I alighted at Yishun Interchange today as I wanted to talk to my office buddy a while more. Both of us are the same kind of people, and we clicked exceptionally well, even tough she looked a bit haughty when I first saw her.

Anyway, she meeting her mother at Northpoint, so we talked all the way; from the time we boarded the bus to the terminal.

When I alighted, a big signboard greeted me in beautiful pink! SASA!

Buddy just laughed and told me not to buy anything (she knew my weakness), and I jokingly replied, "Won't lah, no spare cash. " No-Spare-Cash joke shall leave to some other day to blog about. Or had I talked about it before?

I happily stepped into SASA, browsing at the items. Many times, I wanted to drop an item into the basket, but I endured. Well, SASA's promotion wasn't very enticing, so I left. Turning into the new extension, more discounts await: Beauty Language Sale! The Loreal Anti Frizz Serum was just that close to being my possession, but well, I still have the sample and seriously, 7ml can last me for quite some time. =)

Then I continued to my favourite shop: The Face Shop! Wah... it doesn't matter if they have sale or not, I love their products, pretty packaging! I was surrounded by beautiful products, huge temptation! Keeping my hands straightly in the pockets, I checked out some products, compare the prices, making a mental note of what to buy when my current product finished. This thought perked me up.

I left Northpoint, with my wallet unharmed. Heh. So proud of myself.

Finally, my 1000th post!

I thought I would reach this number last year, but I was too demoralized in my last job to blog anything.

To add joy to this rather nonsensical occasion, I'm back to 78kg! It's been 4 years since I last saw this number on my bathroom scale. It was full of trepidation when I stepped on the scale just now, as I just gobbled my dinner (rice less, veggie a lot) and ice cream at 9.30pm.

3 cheers for myself! Hee...

I think I weigh 78kg in the day time too.

Factors taken into consideration:

1. We usually weight lighter at night, so, if I weigh 78kg after a a satisfying dinner, technically, I weigh 77kg on an empty stomach.
2. And so, assuming that I weigh myself with an empty stomach in the morning, which we usually weigh heavier, giving a little allowance, I still weigh 78kg. Right?

Tmr must control my food intake.

Jamie suaned me as a one-week jogger. K lor, tmr jog for her to see, hmpf!

Motivation

A few new "passengers" enjoyed my blog, especially those old posts. Very motivated to start writing frequently. Lot of ideas running up and down already.

But, it's 1.30am now, and I am super tired. See if I could sneak a few blog posts preview at work tomorrow, or rather later. =)

I really have a super lots of things to blog which I didn't. Time to dig those memories out.
