Merry X'mas & Happy New Year!!!

Hellos! How's your X'mas week? I sure had a lot of fun and weird encounters.Supposed to jot them all them, but as usual me, I procrastinated and now I'm left with half of my stories.

My Wed was the most intriguing day of the week, seriously. It was a half day at work as we had company lunch in the afternoon, and since it was festive season, I decided to really dress nicer than usual for the party, and had contacts on too. Just a simple beige satin tank with my usual jeans and cardigan. Not only do I feel and look good, I got compliments and a lousy pick-up line too. Seriously, at work some more. I was changing for my pass entry alone (usually I'm with my colleagues) as I went to work later than usual (Need to do some clearance in the morning. When I handed in my IC, the guard on duty took a look and said, "Is this your primary school photo?"
Me, as I write my details into the log book: "Yah, I was the last batch to have my IC made in pri school."
Guard: "Wah, you looked so much better now leh!"
Me:"Aiyah, who looked good during pri sch de? all very chui one"
Guard: "Very weird hor, those who looked very ugly in pri sch grow up all become very pretty, like you lor!"
Me: "Thanks har, you just said I looked very ugly in primary school..." *cursing inside my head*
Guard: "No lah, I mean you are prettier now."
Me:"You made your point, no need to explain more, I can take it de" *more cureses*
Guard, trying to change topic now: "Eh, your top is torn and got hole leh. wah you very aggresive hor. Sure got a lot of guys woo you!"
Me, stunned for a moment trying to figure out what he meant, looked down on my top and realised the tiny weeny hole: "No lah! It was loose threading!" *Cursing him, where the hell is he looking at*

It's not even a hole!!!

At this point, I finished writing and as I turned away, I was scolding Nabeh Nabeh Nabeh idiot. And when I told the guys in my office, they laughed and said it was a lousy pickup line. Ha ha. poor guy so desperate that he could only pick me ah.

My company xmas celebration has nothing much to say except one, there's only one grand prize for the lucky draw. Period. As usual, budget limited company. The food wasn't very nice too, all finger food. The only saving grace was the cakes, tho not the log cake.

I had more fun during dinner where I met up with my batch colleagues and we had crab at No. 3 Crab delicacy at Outram road. Then the 3 of us girls secretly went to Tiong Bahru Plaza and got the 3 belated birthday boys their cake. We had told them we were going to toilet, which we went for nearly an hour. Poor them, they had to wait for us before they could order as they didn't want the food to turn cold when we come back. So sweet of them.

The Cold Cockles

Crab Bee Hoon. The lady helped us portioned out the bee hoon on request! Good service!

Butter Crab, my fav among all

Soft and bouncy mantous!!!

Curry Crab. The mantou goes well with the sauce!

Happily satisfied!

I had cold cockles for the first time and it was surprisingly good! I always had the boiled one so it was interesting to eat cold cockles, even tho it was very toxix to eat like that. Then we also had 3 different kind of crabs, Crab Bee Hoon, Curry Crab and Butter Crab, plus 30 pieces of mantou. Among all, I like the Butter Crab most. And comparing to Mellben, Mellben has better sauce but a bit more salty then No. 3. So if you are a bland eater, No. 3 will be a better choice.

I shall end with "Happy New Year Everyone!" Watch out, I'm doing something new! =)

Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale

I watched this movie today and it made me fell in love with Disney princesses all over again. What, I'm still a child at heart okay, matching with my never aging face. The last Disney princess movie I watched was... ... ... I can't remember, Cinderella the video tape?

Disney and Pixar had done well in movies, such as Up, Enchanted (Which I love love love, oh, this was the last Disney Princess Movie I watched!), Alice in Wonderland etc.... but there were also some which didn't quite get my nod like Pirates 2 & 3, Narnia 2 (Why must they include romance!?!?! The actors for Caspian and Susan had no sparks!!!).

I shed tears when it was very funny or very sad in the certain scenes of Rapunzel. When Rapunzel lost her hair, and cried when Eugene (the handsome bandit) died, it was easily foreseen that her tears had the same healing power like her hair. Disney pretty much laid the story foundation at the start so there wasn't much hard guess.

So, I recommend this movie if you looking for something lighthearted and doesn't need much brain power. Pascal is really cute, almost like Pip in Enchanted. Can't speak but has super cute body languages and facial expression! 最佳男配角！

Suay Day

I thought I was having another lucky day when the usually stern senior clerk offered me a ride down the slope, Mercedes leh!!! Alas... I was ultra suay after I got out of her car. I couldn't squeeze into the 171, the next 171 was super packed, I was in a urgent to go toilet. When I reached home, both toilets were occupied (ok, this one my own fault coz I was watching the K Drama until 8pm when my Dad asked Mum and sis whether they want to go visit the newborn and shoo they went bathing and therefore I was stranded in the living room when I wanted to use the bathroom).

I think I really don't like my job. Haiz...

I'm very lucky today!

A red packet was lying innocently near the dustbin. Out of curiosity, I picked up the ang bao to take a look as it seemed quite plump. Not too much, but I figured the person accidentally threw it away thinking it was empty when it wasn't.

Friend said, "finding $ nv give police is considered an offence (criminal misappropriation of property)", so being the good citizen I am, I did what I should.

Stippling Brush

I've been watching a lot of makeup youtubes recently, and one item that caught my attention was this stippling brush. It aims to provide a flawless finish and at the same time, uses less foundation than other brushes. Interesting huh, so I went to get a affordable one from Watson, which seem to be a newly launched brand.

Ain't it pretty?

So after testing it out, it really does use less foundation (I use cream), and the application was smoother, hence achieving that flawless skin, or more natural looking. The brush felt soft too, despite being a synthetic brush.  Anyway, being the clean freak I was, I washed the brush after about 2 uses, coz my daily makeup did not require using foundation or brushes, so I didn't want it to get bacteria growing while I stashed it away. But it was a terrible mistake.

Big blob of pink

Like all pigmented product, the color got rinsed off and as you can see, it was a very bad rinse. Not only that, the brush also gotten rougher and I was actually using a mild makeup cleanser. Double sianz lo, coz I got the brush less than a week.

So if you thinking of getting this brand of brushes becoz of it's pretty color, well, spend your hard earned money on better quality brush although it may be more expensive. The brush is exclusively to Watson.

Family Portrait

Finally, after a long 2 years... wah... It's been 2 years since I graduated?!? Gosh... Felt so not long ago. Anyway, after waiting all these time, we  finally had our family portrait taken!!! We took it in April, right after my HK trip, so I was very round as I packed 2 kg in 7 days (which also means I need 7 months to lose those weight, as as of today, I was at the weight before my HK trip, yeap, 7 months). Nevertheless, the pictures are gorgeous, and true to my family's big jolly nature, we had a big jolly photo.

The size looks like a photo frame on the table, but it is actually 40"!!!

My mama's favorite photo!!! As long as my papa is in the photo, it's her fav. Heh heh.

Jia & me, I hate how tall she is beside me. Hmpf!!!

When the guy brought out the photo, I was so stunned when I saw how huge the frame was. It couldn't even get into the car boot! So it stayed in the back seat with us.

We also had dinner at the 天外天鱼头炉 which we had, what else, 鱼头炉 lor. The soup is sweet, but the fish a tad stiff and it wasn't scrapped clean. We also had Hei Zou, Kailan and Fuyong Egg. Not sure if they saw us all big big, the portions they gave us also big big. We struggled to finish the food. My poor mum had to ate my rice coz I couldn't finish and she didn't want to waste the rice. Yeap, my stomach is programmed to take bread more than rice. Weird i know, but I can eat a lot of bread and is fine, but ate too much rice, I'll be stuffed. Had too much rice the other day at Ivin's, so I learnt my lesson, never ever overfill the stomach when it's full.

Now, we just need to wait for Jamie's convocation. =) Jamie, 加油！

Teint Miracle by Lancome

I was offered a free makeover by Lancome after a purchase at the Tangs Orchard. Free one, what's not to take right? Anyway, I think the Lancome MA seemed so sincere in giving me, maybe because I spent quite a moolah the other time. Heh heh. Her name is Linda Tock, very nice.

Anyway, back to the makeover, overall, I like the makeup, but I didn't really like my hairdo coz it didn't match my outfit. But then, I learnt the trick to doing a beehive head. (^_^)Y, can do it myself next time. One can of hairspray and a fine comb do the trick!

Here are the pictures, I looked so Tai Tai lor, that hair, hmm... I still prefer the Bobbi Brown one, where I still looked like myself.

Before Photoshop. Le Au NAtural. The Teint Miracle foundation is really good! My skin looks so dewy, ya?

After PS. Now the face looked like it was cut and paste, ignoring that, it is still good. I wished I wore better outfit.

Took this photo myself. Face and hair a bit oily & sweaty after 2 hrs, but still glowing good. BTW, no double chins!!!

Like this shot. Aren't my eyes seductive? Mu ha ha ha.

Paintball should be called PainBall

I had my first try at Paintball today, by Red Dynasty @ Sembawang. It was very very fun!!! At first, I was in such regret that why on earth did I agree to join the game when I couldn't shoot, couldn't aim, couldn't run. But, by the second round, I was hooked.

Sure, when hit by the paintball, there was a momentarily period which I would shout "Fuck" like a non-stop machine gun, or in this case, the non-stop paintball gun while rubbing the painful area. Then, I had to check whether I was colored with the green paint or not, coz if I was, I would have to run back to homebase and "reload" my life. Else, continue shooting.

I went with my colleagues, and we were all deft at hiding. Seriously, we didn't get very dirty, except for one guy, who was suay lah, coz he was the common target board. And I think I also shoot a lot at him while he was running back to home base to reload, which by right they were safe during these reloading period. As usual, I was kuku about the rules and regulations.

I shall do a rough explanation. It was like a real-life counter-strike. We were divided into terrorist (T) and counter-terrorists (CT) group. And for round one, our objectives were to aim at the opponents' cone, shoot it down, then grab our flag/ Styrofoam brick to the designated area, then we would be declared winners by the marshals, who were the Red Dynasty guys. It was like a warm-up round.

At the second round, there was a change of rule. Instead of just aiming the cones, the T's aim was to "bomb" the CT's helicopter, and the CT had to save one of the guy who was a hostage. This made it really interesting. We strategically assigned roles and the girls, which was me and Rachel, were to cover while the rest saved the hostage. Anyway, the T could only throw the "bomb" (Styrofoam brick) from the bridge, and when he did that, he was basically the target as there was nowhere to hide. So I really had fun, coz whenever the guy came up wanting to throw the Styrofoam, I just shoot. At such close range, I was shiok from the endless triggering!

Last round was Death Match, basically, we just aim and shoot till we ran out of the paintball. It was the most fun because there was no rules.

Enough words, pictures explain more.

Getting ready

This chubby guy here is me. The vest hid my chest lah!

Notice that all the guys wore the old uniform. In a way, we looked really like going for war!

Group photo #1, before the game started

This was taken before the second round, see how sweaty we were!

We already completed all, and the Red Dynasty guys kindly lent us the rifles to pose pictures.

"PainBall!" Actually we shouted Paintball lah.

Act Seh leh!

He kenna on the head

Souvenir of the day. Her OrhCheh "blossomed" a while later.

My Flower.

He's proud of his Crab.

Still showing off. Heh Heh.

I just looked like that, I wasn't unhappy!

See how happy they are. They obviously had good fun targeting someone.

FAILED! Group photo.

Recapping story again.

Playing with iPhone4

Final Group Photo, after a hearty meal

One last one. =)

My Flower finally blossomed! It's uber painful! But heng, I only got this one spot.

Definitely going back to play again!

Complacency

I was a little complacent when I couldn't fit into the dress for it was 3 inches too big. Proof that I indeed shed some weight post PMS.

And then I went on a chocolate binge on Mon and full rice meals on Tuesday.

Dang... 1 more month to go... Must control and maintain my stats now!

I gave up driving & blah blah blah

I came to a realization that I can and will never be able to learn how to drive, after wasting near 4k on lessons, renewal and practical tests. My reaction is always slower, I always forgot to do safety check, I can't gauge,  how to drive like that? The confidence I showed during practice never did shine during tests. Sometimes I think the instructors were just patronizing me. I mean, if I were that ok, how come I not ok during TP? I was already so calm in my last test, yet there were still so many mistakes the tester penalized me.

为何？？？

The older I am, the lousier I get, the stupider I became.

I should just die at 30 years old. I can't imagine what become of me at 40. Oh, old single maid is the best visualization I have.

A disgusting new flash: I think I just detox a 10cm worm out of my body. Damn, what have I been eating? And no wonder I've been feeling so easily hungry lately.

I have a verdict for my fat waist

It's PMS bloat.

I had just endured a 2 month's worth of PMS.

This explained my recent :

1. Tiredness. I was always tired in the office that my PL bought me Vit. B complex. Touched ~~~
2. Crankiness. Scold Jamie Nag Jamie Irritate Jamie
3. Neatness & Cleanliness OCD: Dust Wipe Organize

I felt like I'm finally back to myself, back to my old body. For the past 2 months, all my thoughts were I'm fat, I ate too much, I exercise too less, and I hardly did my bowels. Considering that I only been to my kickboxing twice (I missed 1 lesson), did jogging and stair-climbing 3 weeks ago, I seriously didn't think that aids my weight loss. Granted, I walked a bit more lately than usual, choosing to climb tat irritating half hill than to take a taxi (partially also due to the over spending lah), it still doesn't work out that 2 inches.

The tap is finally turned on today and I really felt like the bloat is gone. Furthermore for the past 1 week plus, I've been very flatulent and did no. 2 several times a day (solid somemore!) which are my cues to the time of the month.

Maybe, the bloat is a collaboration between the 2 mentioned actions above and they were on strike for 2 months.

女人难当啊！

Kickboxing is good

After a 3 months break, it's good to be back in kickboxing, I can really feel the oil inside me melting after an hour of non-stop kicks.

Ok, not exactly an hour non-stop, my 100% reduced to 80% after 20 mins, 60% after another 10 mins, and doing only 20% for the remaining. My instructor is like an energizer bunny kicking at gear 5, really powerhouse!!! We couldn't keep up with her speed and strength. Imagine throwing 3 moves in a second with the oil barrels attaching to my arms. Tiring!

But shiok! I felt less bloated already.

Looking forward to my next lesson!

My waistline is getting wider than my bustline - part 2

To no avail, the bottom is still wider than the top. Shit.

But the walk up the hill today seemed to ease my bloat.

I wonder is I could walk them everyday, just half the hill and I'm way past zen mode.

I guess endurance is the key.

Assaulted

My poor tummy was assaulted mercilessly by Miss Gwee.She had a fun time rubbing them, but I didn't enjoy. I think I will enjoy the rubbing on the tummy if I'm a puppy.

Miss Gwee, I'll get my revenge!!! You wait!!! ( ~ o ^ )Y

I'm removing the cbox. Too many spammers.

Elbow knocked sense into me

I was elbow-knocked this morning by a guy when the bus suddenly swerved. I was in pain. I that I was so pissed off by his non-apologetic manner that I just glared at him while rubbing my tortured back while his back faced me.

Very duhz, I know. Absolutely no use at all.

So I was complaining to my colleagues, and so one of them asked, "Why didn't you confront him?"

That slapped me up and I pondered, why did I lack the gut to ask him for a sorry? I'm the victim here, ya?

As I reenact the scene in my head, I realized I was actually worried of showing my anger in front of strangers. So strange, isn't it? We could lash all the emotions on our closest that we see everyday, yet we could hide our tempers on people who won't see a second time. Shouldn't it be the other way round?

Why care about what other strangers are thinking when we don't even spare a thought of what our family and friends are thinking of our actions?

Hmm, I guess that's what we called kinship and friendship, coz there's no barrier and we showed our truest selves, instead of pretending whom we are not in front of strangers.

Like how I shrieked and jumped away from the lizard that my colleague kindly informed me not to step on. Totally lost my cool again. But it showed how much I don't care what they think.

Heh.

I'm mad worried

I feel like my left ear is going deaf soon coz I've been hearing buzzing almost everyday.

My waistline is still huge despite not eating much, I cut down on my rice le!

I hardly feel hungry and when I am, I feel full after 2 bites.

I'm panting like an old cow.

It all feel so deja vu, seemed like it happened in 2007 when I could go on for a day with only breakfast. Gonna do detox for this week, crap.

My sis is a joker too.

Mum told me that the same Auntie C has been pestering her for an answer whether both Jia and me are attached. And Jia gave a really ultimate answer, "Aiyo, tell her to stop asking lah! There isn't even a 色狼！"

I do not have their levels.

My mum is a joker

Those who know my mum will know that she is someone with an incredible sense of humor. She could give really out-of-the-box answers.

When I was going uni and staying in hostel, Auntie D, a family friend was saying that it was a little dangerous for 2 girls to stay alone in school, even though it is a school. So my mum, told her: "Oh, then I'll ask her to stay with a guy lor, can protect her!" Totally disregarding the auntie's exact worry.

Recently, Auntie C had been calling my mum and she always exclaimed that my mum is a bundle of energy, coz she could go work, come home work some more and then watch Korea drama without a rest. And she she will always ask the same thing to my mum: "Do you always take chicken essence?"

Sick of her nonsense, my mum gave her nonsense. Without batting an eyelid, she replied in hokkien, "Bo lah, wo jiak peh hoon!" (No lah, I eat heroin!)

My waistline is getting wider than my bustline.

Really need to stop putting food into my mouth.

Over Clothes

Ever since I made the beautiful marriage of Forever21.com and Vpost, I had been shipping clothes every 3 months or so. Up till Sunday, I was browsing clothes as usual, and getting opinions from Jamie.

Jamie then told me something she heard from my parent's conversation: Why Qiqi (me) keep buying clothes?

Struck me like a bat on the head and woke me up. They were right, why do I buy so many clothes?

The clothes I bought, only a few I would start it. Those I don't wear, I kept thinking that I would wear it once I had the chance or save it for a special occasion, and usually they are dresses and skirts. So far, only 2 skirts were broken into. -_-|||

This could link to how my Ah-ma used to keep our new clothes for the "special occasions", you know. I inherited this habit. Not that it is a bad habit, but it is bad when I still have new clothes stacking from 2 years ago.

And ever since I started working, the urge to"must own this item" becomes bigger. From simple tops to elaborated dress, from backpack to shoulder bags, ballet flats to high heels, even the facial products, fill more than 1 drawer. I will even spend that certain amount to get the freebie. I'm really getting out of hand.

So, I told myself, I must not buy any more stuffs till end of the year. Coz I don't have any more space to stash them already.

I'm getting very very lazy...

Procrastinate too much...

Think far less...

I guess I'm just waiting for some huge to happen before I start writing like I used to be...

Had my wisdom tooth extraction on my left cheek in July, MC one week, shiok beyond words. Can't remember much funny details le. Except that I still went for a farewell dinner on Thursday despite my swollen gum. Oh, I had a total of 2 or 3 LA shots coz I was feeling the pain even before the dentist was sewing my gum back. Popped 2 painkillers when went home and slept like a pig. Face swollen like a pig too. Could bite and eat normally on the right side when I woke up, which is good coz mum cooked good food! =)

Got new eyebrows. =) Nice is nice, but a bit too expensive... should have for free ointment. I'm such a sucker.

Bought far too many things, shoes, clothes, bags... Forever21.com, I hate you! But I love you more!

Got 2 huge ass acne in 2 months... I guess something went wrong in my beauty regime... Oh! I didn't remove my makeup properly... Shit... Got a huge ass scar on my face now, not obvious, but irritating.

Work still nothing new... Bestie jokingly advised me to change job since nothing much (she meant guys) to see there (mean further prospects). Duhz... she's planning to get married in 2 years time! Gosh.

I can't lie and I don't know how. Seriously. All I wanted was to avoid appearing too chiong going out with Bestie after on mc yesterday), so I said to my colleagues whom I was on the same wayy that I just wanted to pay some service which I didn't manage to get to yesterday, which is true. When Bestie called, I silly answered, "You reached already ah?" So Colleagues A and B knew I was going out, I further made situation worse when Colleague-A asked why don't I meet her in Yishun since we both stayed there. I answered, Yishun was boring. This kinda overthrew my first reason that I wanted to clear payment and made me seemed like a liar and an MC queen. I meeting her in AMK was because I really wanted to make payment and there was a roadshow!!!

Lousy Liar Me!

Ok dok!

Monday Blues

So not in the mood for work...

Could I get any more embarassing?

Being the only girl in the team has its perks, but also has the shitty situation. Despite all my efforts to be as graceful as possible, I've already gave dirty jokes, snorted during nap, burped after meals and heck, dig my nose (with tissue) behind their backs (literally) so that they don't see.

Just when I thought my stunts are all out, bare nakedly shown them all the ungirly things a girl could do, I displayed the ultimate: showing the most girly stuff.

I was chatting with 2 of them while waiting to go for lunch, so I was preparing my pockets to stuff the tissue, phone and money pouch in. As I dig my left side pocket, I felt the slim silhouette of a used tissue and thought I could use it to wipe table later. As I was drawing it out, I decided to check how clean it was first, maybe it could go another round on my face, you know, don't use too many tissues mah.

When I took it out, somehow, it turned out to be a pantyliner, and staring straight at my colleagues' faces.

I think one took a chance at the pantyliner, and bought Toto.

It didn't work.

The black short didn't work its charm. Because I did too badly liao.

2 immediate fails.

Driving Lessons

There is this urban legend about driving test, that women tend to pass the test easily if they show a bit of cleavage, wear short skirts or dress sexily, coz the testers are lecherous.

Back in the poly days, I thought this was a myth created by a certain MCP who was upset that women were driving cars, which in the old past, only men could drive. Maybe he had lost a bet with a gal who proved him wrong, that gals couldn't drive. Hence, he made up this myth to be spiteful and that women were lousy drivers. Hmm, I was quite a mild feminist then.

However, I myself is a live testament to that myth today. No, I hadn't pass the test, but I had a better lesson for once. Showing some skin really helped a little.

I had been getting this really stern instructor for my driving lessons, probably because I didn't book one and he wasn't booked by others due to his infamous temper. As much as I'm quite tolerant, his nonchalant voice and hardly audible pronunciation pissed me off sometimes, and very often, I couldn't quite catch his instructions, so I needed him to repeat. And very often, he would raise his voice, and when correcting my mistakes, his tone wasn't very nice too.

Today, I was hoping that I wouldn't get him as my instructor, but as you all know, we all probably knew what we didn't want was going to happen and that's why we prayed. I had not had any practice since my last driving test 2 months ago, so I was mentally prepared to be grilled badly by him.

Surprisingly, while he still had that nonchalant and hardly audible voice, he wasn't stern today. Either he is in a bloody good mood, or my mistakes were less "fatal" or it's my black shorts.

Maybe, his bad temper was what I imaginatively conjured up when I drove really badly and today, I drove quite well, minus the lane change, speed control and parking.

Still, hope the black short works its charm on the tester tomorrow.

My mum

Well, she is always proud that whatever she wished came true. Like,

She had been thinking of having new bed for me, yeap, we got it free.

She was thinking some mushroom balls for dinner, and soon, her boss gave her a lot of packets.

She had been wishing for a sponge for washing big bottle, I bought it without knowing she wanted.

So that day, she was telling how she got things she wished for, I asked her, why don't you wish for son-in-laws?

She just retorted, "不可能的咯！"

...

Finally, a girl is joining my team!!!

Can't wait to start gossip club with her. LOL.

yeah!!!!! new "boyfriend"!!!!

Dear Lenovo

We had a happy and peaceful 5 years relationship, well, not exactly peaceful, but you've been through the ups and downs of my uni life, stand by me during my tough fyp and the sucky period of my first job. I'm really sorry that you getting older, hence couldn't meet up to my high level of energy drive. There were so many things I want to try, but because of your slowness, I wasn't inspired or motivated to do.

Toshiba really fare better in that department, as he's younger. We may have ended this, but I truly believe that you are my best friend, wh

Saving Gaia

Woah! Only after I searched for this vid, only then I realised how abstract this clip was. The three of them represent the tree, the water and the atmosphere, with the kid as the earth.



When we first saw the vid on TV, because it displayed a dark and deep sense, and there was this parellism which they started with "What if, 如果..." We were like so engrossed in watching. When it came to the end, my Dad growled,

"如果我是炒票， 你会怎么办？"

-_-|||

I must have discipline...

to start wearing my new clothes.

The stack of new clothes is getting higher and higher.

Did a rough inventory, I still have clothes bought a few years ago, not worn! So horrible...

And just minutes ago, I ordered my 3rd batch of clothes from Faith21 again...

And within the past 2 months, excluding my HK trip loot, I bought like 2 pair of new shoes, 3 tops, and 4 bottoms...

I am so jialat... Must wear them!

Lizardry!!!

Just when it couldn't get more funnier, Miss Ng had to remind me that, I quote her: "The lizard must be screaming: Let! Mee! Ouut!!!"

Since when does asking for home address equivalent to sending red bomb?

YQ sought my help to consolidate our home addresses so that she could send the baby's full month cakes to us. The first thought that came to XL's, Ivy's, and Teh Ni's mind when I asked them for their addresses was they thought I was getting married.

Excuse me, I don't have a boyfriend to intro to them, so how could I be getting married? Like what I told Ivy, i would screaming into their phones if I were to don the white gown anytime soon.

I foresee the next 10 years their ears would be spared.

I didn't know Goh Keng Swee...

Only to realize the amazing things he'd done for Singapore via the news lately... So ashamed of myself...

Well, RIP, Founding Father...

My inner spinster is screaming again...

Damn... My gal friends all are getting married.

It's just me and a few left to party...

I salute the Supernatural Scriptwriters!

They did such good twist! Now the story is right where both Sam and Dean are saying a big fat NO to Michael and Lucifer to being their vessels. So episode 19 was about other gods from other religions kidnapping them, hoping to use them as chips to restore world peace. But of course, they ain't Lucifer's match and Mercury (Hermes) contacted Lucifer to their location. Lucifer killed them with a flick of his finger, and so Gabriel came to save them. Knowing he wasn't a match to Lucifer, he left Sam and Dean a tape containing an alternative solution, and that is to kick Lucifer back to his cage, using the four horsemen rings.

Isn't this brilliant? I tot the show would end up God coming to help leh!

Just one little error, they mentioned that only an angel can kill an angel, but so far Dean killed Zachariah, and Kali was able to kill Gabriel too, although with a fake knife lah, but Gabriel end up "dead" leh. But yet again, there were justifications, as Dean said partial Yes to Michael and maybe for that brief period, he could kill Zachariah. And as for Kali, Gabriel was binded to Kali by a blood spell, so is that why she could kill him?

And those gods are involved in complicated love relationship some more... duhz...

Star Award 2010 is giving out pork again, and kelong somemore!

As much as I laughed my heart out watching SA Part 1 on Sunday, most of the time was at their stupidity and lack of eloquence.

I felt so disappointed that Auntie Lucy didn't win the Most Popular Female Character, all because Dennis Chew didn't have a fan club! Jeanette Aw's fans really went all the way out lor, same for Nat Ho's. A bit unfair, but anyway, Star Awards is purely entertainment, most importantly we know Auntie Lucy is more popular! Heck, Yao Jianhong is just a typical day Mulan, and Aw acted so unnaturally can? Especially the part where she was a hostess and seriously, even if you are morally upright, the tone and action do not have to be super slow-mo lor. All my goosebumps came out when I watched the part which she poured the liquor and talked to the inspector. Brr...

Still, thought the award was specially created for Auntie Lucy coz Dennis Chew acted so well and there was a lot of hype. Chey, in the end, they still leave the best pork part to their own people.

Fine, I just plainly doesn't like Aw, can? I also don't like many others also.

• Ann Kok's tits can't squeeze into the small dress, this is her another classic look that people will talk for years.

• Joanne Peh is politically correct, while DYT got mo shui, hence they bagged the Media's Favourite awards. Actually, Mediacorp got too much money to spare so they created this title to make more awards.
  

• Patricia Mok really got nothing to show, and she's so fair that I tot her chest has a nude fabric covering it, oh, that's her real chest. (I can't even use the word cleavage here!) Fann Wong won her by a little bit, both their cup size and fairness.
  

• I quite like those skits, coz they are so brainless and predictable that I laughed before even they even reached the hit point. Altho we don't know the inside jokes, it was still quite entertaining.
  

• How come didn't see Zoe Tay?
  

Quote from my colleague: "Jeanette is a very good actress, she's so good that she also act outside her roles."

More jokes this Sat...

I'm back!!!

E'nuff sa(i)d.

Hong Kong!!!

It's been 10 years (I dunno why I keep thinking it was 8 years) since I last sat on a plane. The last one was to HK too.

此行旧地重游， 格外兴奋！

Shall shower you all with lots of photos! =)

I'm such an idiot

I'd been such an idiot today.

First, I thought I was gonna be in bad luck today when a black kitten ran across my path.

Secondly, i really thought I was unlucky when I was being tasked to clear some stuff at main office, courtesy of last Fri's event. But main office is nearer to home, so no complaints.

Thirdly, I stupidly asked my kindhearted colleague whether the box containing the cookies were still in his car! He waited for me, kept for me, and all I did was asking whether the cookies were okay? Gosh, slapped me please.

Lastly, I annoyed the same kindhearted colleague by asking him to cover something for me. And when he said, there was no need to, I sort of pushed the "blame" stating that the other colleague asked me to check.

What the hell, I seriously have no brain to think about the whole situation! I stupidly followed some unofficial orders! Not that it was bad, one was actually beneficial to me, but because of this good one, that was why I was told to do some covering. As a matter of fact, if I had think through the whole situation, read the sms instruction carefully, there was no mentioning of covering.

I brought all these upon myself. Grr... Kindhearted colleague may not take it to heart, but the thought of myself, once again, doing a stupid stunt, makes me ponder, what the hell I studied so much if I can't even analyze a simple situation!

Oh man... I really need to focus!!!

I didn't even catch a simple joke until 3 seconds later. -_-|||

My job

More or less easing into the job, but sometimes I still hate it for being internet-less.

Been helping out with the recent upgrading's upgrading, can't help feeling "the more I know the suckier it is..."

Maybe Boss is just joking about the sucky part.

It's a small world part 3

My poly/uni/hall friend's girlfriend is my secondary school friend's sister and now she lives 4 blocks away from me.

Saw them while I got off at Yishun Stadium today, Friend called my name as my specs were fogged out, couldn't see him. And his gf is super tall lor, you mei you. Envy~~~

Perfect Match

I find Ryan Reynolds really cute after watching The Proposal. He has these love-sick puppy eyes that kinda melt girls' heart.

So I googled about him and found a heartbreaking fact: He's married to Scarlett Johansson!!!

Oh my... His wife is sexy goddess can?

Inadequate

Never felt myself so inadequately before.

When I was in primary school... I never knew what pressure is...

When I was in secondary school, I shouldered a lot of expectations which I couldn't achieve till Sec. 4

When I was in polytechnic, everything came so easily for me.

When I was in uni, I finally understand that hard work really pays off.

Now that I'm working... maybe it was a subconcious thought that I'm not meant for big things, I just couldn't wrap my head on the things I'm doing now. This is way beyond what I expect and I really doubt I could get my hands on it. This is so ironic, coz my previous job scope, I thought it was way below my level that I should have done.

Now that something bigger comes along, but I just couldn't stuff myself into it...

I need more focus...

Busy Week

I had events to attend after work everyday since coming back from Chinese New Year break...

Monday: Coussie's 21st
Tuesday: Jamie's SS tall
Thursday: Poly Dinner
Fri: Company Dinner

Since start of 2010, my project had been very busy, recently with an issue coming up which was so critical that team lead activated a lot of help. Finally, we saw some light and solved parts of it, or at least, remove those arrows pointing at the team. I didn't help a lot, or rather didn't help at all, then kenna suaned by team lead that I helped him make coffee. -_-||| Ok... he's joking lah... Maybe he didn't want me to feel too bad either...

Today's dinner, I must say it was quite successful except that I didn't win anything though. Sitting with so many seniors and bossess and being the only girl, did feel a little out of way but, thankfully, somehow barrier between the bosses and me broke a little. A very good sign... I should stop being shy in front of them. They can't eat me up! Why so scared right? And I should just do my job well so that the fear in me will go away, no bad conscience mah, hor?

To a better and fruitful March!!!

The Face Shop

For the longest time, I am a huge fan of TFS products. I truly love it!

There is this gel eye patch, which makes my under eyes felt really good, especially after chilling them in the fridge!!! Absolutely love them and dutifully follow the instructions, "Put them on for 30-40 mins". Although the patches were rather thick, it gave a good weight to lay on.

Until one TFS SA taught me the trick, after putting on the eyes, placed them on the cheeks, near the lips, to fully utilize the essence. The first night I tried, I fell asleep with the patches on my face.

The next morning, my cheeks felt exceptionally good, it didn't felt too taut or dry. Gel was either absorbed by the skin or evaporated in the air, I believe the former. As I peeled the patches, I found that they felt a lot thinner! Then it hit upon me, the layer of plastic had been the gel all along and I always taught it was just the texture of the patch! This horrific truth left me calculating how much essence I wasted in my previous 3 packs, as I always threw them away after the 40mins and the gel was clearly still had a lot!!!

Xim tia~~~

Interaction Dinner

So... had this dinner last Thursday. Food was nice, games so-so, gifts not bad.

I was called up to play a game when I had to dress up a guy as bikini babe. There were a total of 4 guys fighting for the "Bikini Babe" title. In such games, balloons are an inevitable. So I volunteered to blow the balloons, and the first one, I gave a moderate size, and my dress-up guy enlightened me that in such games, the bigger the better. So the other one was humongous. But I couldn't untie the knot of the first one, so he had unbalance "boobs". There were two paper plates which we attached as the bikini, and then I stuffed a lot of toilet papers in the small "boob".

When the MC asked, how come he had 2 boobs size, this is what I answered:

"Coz he only had money to do one side, so the other side had to wait! That's why put toilet paper to balance."

The crowd laughed.

Oh, I also nicknamed my dress-up guy as "Wonder Woman". "Wonder Girl" would have been more trendy hor...

As usual, embarassing things just happened to me

New PM came, so when Boss was telling us to gather for an intro, I was drinking water and so, a few drops dripped off my lips and I used the back of my hands to rub them off. Then, the new PM chose this moment to intro himself to me first (I was on his right, so naturally, right to left) and extended his handshake. I quickly rubbed my hand dry using my sweater then offer my handshake too. I saw my Boss stole a smile. So paiseh... never had I once behaved properly in front of him.

When I was signing out the passes after work, one of the young boys guarding the post shouted out my name, with the other name shouting "You sure anot?" The former shouted "Of course, I saw her IC!" and they proceeded to sing "是不是这样的夜晚你才会这样的想起我"。I wasn't sure if my colleagues in the car heard them or not, if they did, very paiseh lor. Paiseh coz those hot-blooded males were teasing someone with boobs. Really wanted to show them the finger but I couldn't, all I could do was show them the darn black face when we drove out the gate.

Seriously...

The Bui Family

Min min addressed me as Bui Bui the other day and this sparked off a bui naming convention for my family.

Dad - Bui
Mum - Ah Bui
Me- Bui Bui
Jia - Dua Bui
Min - Mini Bui

Very funny lor... It was cute when min said the Bui word, not condescending at all, but it sounds so different when we said it. Ha ha.

How's your CNY?

Heh, slept far too late on Chu Xi, that I missed the yearly chance to play mahjong with my Daddy... Well... till next time then... Chu Yi was busy, as with the usual years, preparing and cooking for my relatives... They came pretty late this year, with the first group came at 5pm.

Oh, I had a new niece! Heh, born on Vday 0000, but my cousin poor thing la, had to stay in hospital for three days...

Chu Er went 2 places visiting, saw the same group of relatives plus a few meet yearly ones... Well... Stick close to the usual clique and crapped the night. Before we went round 2 visiting, we watched the Percy Jackson movie. Min kept insisting a lot of the parts were copied from Harry Potter, I would say many ideas are similar, but not exactly copied.

Must say had pretty good luck at poker and mahjong, heh.... Won when I least expected. Played a game just now with Jia, mum and her friend. I only won three times, yet I was the biggest winner. At my biggest win, which I was waiting to pon a Bai Ban or normal Three Circles. Bai Ban hadn't appeared at all and Three Circles left 2. Thinking that I wouldn't win, I acted and I was revealing the tile slowly, so when I reached for it, sneaking a peek as I moved my thumb up. I was just trying to be drama-mama but least I expect, I got a Bai Ban and this increase my fold!!! I won and it was a full fold (man tai) lor, so darn adrenalin rush for me. I think this made up for my almost win at 4D, I bought 2628, it opened 2528 as starter on Sat lor. Sianz wor.

Por Bee more luck leh!

Bday Surprises!

Last year on my birthday, I received a nasty surprised call.

This year, I received a surprised winning gift from cozycot!

Nice... =) I had wrote those reviews with no idea that I was participating the draw. Jia had picked up the gift for me, other than the main one, there were a lot of other samples too.

Think I can save 6 months' worth of money for face cream.

A day where everything is so wrong...

1. I frightened my driving instructor by almost turning into the incoming lane. The lane was empty, so I gong gong aimed for the lane.
   



2. I frightened my yoga instructor when my leg flipped at his pull, which I guessed almost slapping him. Well, I could sense my face distorted into somebody else when he assisted me to do this pose. 是痛的咯！
   


3. I was such a bitch. I didn't know why I said I wasn't heavy enough when I could just say I'm shy and no time commitment. I further added insult to injury when I mentioned I wasn't big enough for the cast of a mini tv series (what the director mentioned to me). I was totally behaving like those irritating sec school classmates of mine who were skinny like monkeys yet they still screamed FAT during weigh-in!!!! Gosh! I must have really annoyed them. Urgh... But maybe, I subconsciously enjoyed this brief moment of being the "小只" coz back in my world, I'm the fat one. Kaoz, such a bitch I am...totally disregard their feelings at that instant. They were so nice and friendly!!! One lady was actually a customer turned helper today itself! That's how nice they are! Maybe I'm just being over sensitive. Am I? Urgh, I hate this need for constant assurance. And I'm totally digressing for Point 3. Erica and friends, please don't take it too hard to heart. =(

Bought one top and one dress from BAB, totally loving it. LOL, I had only wanted to see the denim vest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally remembered one funny stuff during work. We were discussing some random topics when it came to beer, and how they different they tasted in SG and in other countries for a local brand. So, colleague K1 mentioned he didn't understand why beer was so popular, so K2 said something very classic:

"Well, with beer, comes peanut and sex!"

K1 and K2 have same name, hence it was an inside joke one tat one was the angel and the other was the devil, especially the way they spoke. Not difficult to see who is which right?

Disclaimer: Both are very very very nice guys.

Too many happy events

Been thinking of blogging the interesting things, but I forgot them when I reached home.

Tons of stuffs to do.

Sadly, flea market is cancelled. Haiz...

Maybe, more updates after CNY bah... gonna dig my memory bank...

Happ Birthday to Myself

=)

what the ...

As much as I like the movie Avatar, I still don't understand why they must rename something real into something fake?

I can accept it if they added the extra name, but not officially change it!

The original names, 金龟岩”、“天桥遗墩”、“南天一柱”, are so much nicer!!!

Why? Why? Why must make it official!

Hallelujah Mountains just so sound wrong in China.

Haiz...

Dun feel like working tomorrow.

Giordano

After 12 years old, I had never been more exhilarated than today in Giordano.

I fit into a size 32 pants! In the past, only half on my leg in the pants and I will tearing them out.

They finally doing some bigger cuts!

Became a life-time member today at giordano and TS, but they dun issue cards! Whatever, next time I go anywhere, I will just say dunno and make them check. Ha.

Too many memberships.

DD Pig

Offensive? In what way?

Then how come there's the dog? Coz we don't eat dog-meat?

Obviously being halal certified doesn't mean they understand the real meaning of halal.

And I'm going to get the DD Pig.

Sam, Interrupted

This episode is awesome!!! Twist with a twist!

So, Sam and Dean once again back into their monster killings spree and this time it was in a mental hospital. As usual, the plot went on to how they had to find the real monster was, which was killing the patients there by sucking their brain dry and then made it as if they died from suicide.

As wirh their usual gags, there were 2 main doctors which were kind of suspicious, from the way I perceived, but ended up, they are neither! One was just a figment of Dean's imagination, and the other doctor was, well, a doctor.

Anyway, now I'm clueless who is the real demon. Really got me.

Flabbulous N Fatastic

I just snagged this domain name at http://flabbulous-n-fatastic.blogspot.com

One tiny step to becoming my own boss. =)

But then, still not sure what to do with it. Ha ha... and this name already like half decided what I have to do.

See how it goes.

Honesty is not the best policy at work

I had a presentation last Tuesday. t was so like my FYP presentation!

I was still struggling for that last few lines of code before 9am. But at least they worked!

Anyway, at the end of the presentation, my direct manager gave me a few comments. In a gist, I'm too honest for my own good. Ha ha exactly the same stuff as my moderator had said during my fyp presentation. Basically, I was digging a grave hole for myself.

Presentation skills sucks too much. No need to point my own mistakes.

Avatar

So, I watched Avatar, twice.

Twice, I was deeply moved by the story (a bit old-fashioned love story and warrior fighting) and fascinated by the visual effects.

Twice, I can't help but wonder, this movie contains a little racism. The actors and actresses portraying the Na'vi are mostly Africa American, except the Eytukan who is an American Indian of the Cherokee Nation. Their similarities? Well, they all used to dance around a fire wearing little clothings, like the Na'vi. And the human who infiltrated Pandora are all, well, whites!

Twice, I wondered, how come Neytiri suddenly spoke perfect American accent English in times of sorrow. "You mean you know this will happen?" was so different accented from "I trusted you" which came later.

Other than these two annoying parts, Avatar ultimately still won my unfaithuful vote for being the movie of the year. Weirdly, I am deeply infatuated with the world of Pandora, in love with the Na'vi and head over heels with the language. =D

The storyline of Avatar, is in fact, all within expectation, at least within my expectation. I could roughly guess what will happen. Not sure if the director deliberately left the tracks for us to guess. Maybe, sometimes it is the most common thing that drive the most unexpected results. Avatar contains a lot of stories and meanings to convey. One, we should protect our Mother Nature, stop abusing her! Two, war is bad, war brings casualties, war does not result in a win-win situation, in fact, lose-lose. Three, human are a selfish bunch of aliens, who only thought of their own benefits, and who don't see with their hearts.

I had a colleague hiam Avatar hiam until I wondered why he so worked up for. But he had a few interesting modern theories on Avatar.

1. You get the prettiest chick and the envies of others if you have a flashier car. Jake became a Turok Matok and everyone worship him, because he has the best car on Pandora.
   
2. The Pandora is like one huge server and the Na'vi has these tails which they upload and download information. Like an RJ45.
3. The Na'vi are more primitive than human because they had this system so well-planned systems that could survive for many many years that they do not need upgrades.

Haiz... Male Engineers!

I deserved it

I had so much time to prepare, why did I still throw myself into such a shit pit.

My bosses were kind enough not to point out what a disaster I am.

A better result on the 19th! Zene Hasey! Tsun Hasey!

If only I channel the energy to learn Na'vi to doing my PHP.

Conclusion

My recent posts are a bit, hmm, how should I put it, way over emotional.

Conclusion: the dreaded period is coming... So Feels like Crap (FLC) lah!

I wonder if I can show professionalism during a period like this.

Crap...

Exfoliation is good for the skin! Stress is not.

It's been ages since I dutifully exfoliate and slapped my face with sheet masks or overnight cream. I finally exfoliate my face, and what a huge difference it made! It looked radiant!

Where is the auntie I saw in the mirror this morning?

Ah... Missed my facial last week, shall booked another timing soon...

I love pampers!

Was on MC today, and it struck me that I always get sick panic attacks whenever I felt stressed and completely incompetent at work. I had headache when I woke up this morning, the really annoying and refused to go away so I rolled back into my bed instead, and called in sick.

All along, I tot it was because my gastric problem, which gave me tension headache. It wasn't until the doctor asked me if my work is stressed, then I realized the root of problem.

While I'm not yet really stressed by the work yet, coming soon anyway, I was actually stressed by the environment. I'm new to the team despite having a job for 8 months, which I was practically self study most of the time. The mock project we did for 2 months I had almost zero involvement till the last minute, when the leading was on MC. I really had it free and easy, and I tried to keep up with my readings.

Now as I officially entered into the team, immediately, I felt a great disparity between me and my teammates. Firstly, they all guys lah. Secondly, what they know and understand scares me. Nope, not because they are very experienced. I mean there's this one guy I observed, he's been there for a year I think but I could see the seniors loved him every bit. He's smart, he's hardworking, and he's totally can be depended on. Even though I do not understand the system yet, but I do know he's handling quite a major task now. My 2 weeks there, never once did I see him taking a nap! Power!

And I practically screwed up my first task (the web system) with the laptop and I almost caused them to lose 6 years worth of data, thankfully, we managed to revert the system back. If a simple task I can't do it well, I think I will really jinxed the major system sooner or later lor.

While I clicked OK with the guys whom were with me at main office during the audit, it wasn't with the others. I do want to join in their conversations, I want to crack jokes, I want to laugh with them, but there's the fear and irritating thought "She's so lame" inside my head and stuffed my opening mouth with it. There is this constant awkwardness lingering above us.

Even when I tried a conversation with one, it started and ended with a cold full stop.

This is so J&J all over again!!! I hate it and don't want it to be like this!

When they were discussing the system which I had absolutely zero idea what they talking about, I could feel an adrenalin rush in me, coz this system is like so cool but difficult. Despite how many times I told some people I won't be staying for long (I had no motivations during the first 8 months!), now that I had a peek into the project, I kinda loved it. Of course, maybe before I started screwing everyone with my sotongness and then hate myself for being so lousy and then moved onto the next job and then repeat the whole cycle again.

Maybe I'm a little impatient, I'm just 2 weeks in that place.

Give myself more time.

Feeling Flabbulous and Fatastic again

I looked into the mirror, and instead of seeing a healthy 25 (going 26) lady... I saw a severely obese, lack of luster, dark-skinned obasan.

Flipping through the photos in FB made it worse... I looked so good 5 years ago! Fat I may be , but I looked good.

Now, I looked so hideous! And I finally understand the true faces behind the very well painted masks I saw on the street! Do away with the ugliness!

I should really start doing something about my face and body. It's time to exercise again! Exercise is good, for the body and mind.

Should really start jogging, since my colleague dropped me off at stadium almost everyday. I love to jog at stadium, because I can count the number of rounds I run and multiply it to get the distance. Plus there are no exhaust from the cars! I shall not let the tiredness from work deter my routine. Be firm!!!

Thinking of going back to my kickboxing. Miss them dearly... Any takers?

NATO again... mu ha ha ha.

Motivating myself with DietGal... She lost half of her original size, dammit! So can I!

New Year Resolutions

Lol, my last new year resolution was in 2007!

That's like 2 years ago!

Setting up new year resolutions again.. bit of same old things really. But 2010 kind of mark a new start, especially with a new job (officially it was 8 months ago, but technically, I'm only starting now, being posted to project site and learning things all over again.) Plus, I'm going to be 26 soon, should really start to achieve some things.

1. Lose weight! I lost 3 kgs last year, bounced back 2 kg tho during the last week because of overeating, but my swimming really toughen up my flabby a little bit. Now I walked also tired and panting leh, really must cut down my extra kilos already.
2. Be diligent. I still owe my boss the website which was due last year last day. Must chope chope finish already lah. Considering the lack of internet resources in the office, I shall diligently do my research at home.
3. Manage my finance, control them! Spend too much last year lah, My savings is so pitiful. Going HK in April somemore.
4. Be more responsible in anything I do I say. Too many empty promises/threats (to Jamie) last year.
   
5. Be nice to everyone, especially my family. Last year, my temper flared up too easily. Small things also annoyed.

Things I shall complete/start in 2010.

1. Run a small 5 km marathon by this year. Gotta start training already I guess.
   
2. Do more charity. Be it donation or volunteer work.
3. Upgrade my IT skills and knowledge. Master course maybe?
4. Pick up a new skill. I learnt Jap, Driving and Swimming. Maybe Dancing?
   
5. Start a small business online, not sure what I am going to sell yet. Thinking of handicrafts.

Ok lah. I have exactly 363 days to see how much I can accomplish.

So, how's ur Xmas and NYE?

Xmas I went out with Diyumi, NYE I at home clearing things.

Very sianz... a lot of work, but not motivated to do....

Coming CNY, more stuffs to do... This year is the comeback of SQ Chinese Lanterns!

Didn't make them since 2004? 2005?

Itchy hands again... Been designing them and conceptualizing them inside my brains... thinking of making a mini one coz my ang pow very big, if make the normal sure super huge...

Jialat.. bad old habit coming back... I.e. doing low priority stuffs over high priority... :P

See how lah.
