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!!!

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.
