Familiar Feelings

The familiar feeling of being poor.... Just did my maths for expenses... Looks gross lor... The New year Top Resolution: Save Save Save $$$! Did a basic in-out flow, it's time to follow!

Chant: No splurge no splurge no splurge No splurge no splurge no splurge No splurge no splurge no splurge

A mixed feeling of both excited and nervous, with all the butterflies knocking the walls of my stomach. It's not a nice feeling, yet I was happy when this kicked in: Mr Hobbes lah, who else. He msned me like after almost a decade, and I was caught off guarded, coz didn't expect him to msn me mah. I feel like ridiculously back to primary and secondary school again with all these infatuations. Ha!

Whatever, I'm meeting him to collect my notes (and I hope it will just me and him alone ^_____^), although I tot I remember telling him eons ago that he could throw. Since he brought the subject up again of whether to throw or not, the sly fox in me took this opportunity to meet him, on the pretext of getting back my notes.

Ho, I feel so shameless and buay hiao byte. And secretly, I tot he was using this as pretext too, possible? Me very the Bu Yao Lian hor.

Me shame shame! HA~~~

Old New Actor

A group of teenage girls were discussing Little Nonya, on my way back to Yishun. Very interesting, reminds me the silly things I said when I was 16.

Girl A: You know, that Chen Xi hor... Blah Blah Blah
Girl B: And then hor, Yueniang didn't marry Liu Yi Dao and Blah Blah Blah
Girl C: Poor Yuzhu, kenna rape leh... Blah Blah
Other Girls: Yah lor, Poor thing..

They moved on to Star Awards....
Girl A: Ou Xuan sure wins one... Blah~
Girl B: I think hor, Liu Yi Dao will win Best Support Actor
Girl C: No lah, I think is that Charlie Zhang, his name is Shen1 Jin1 Xin1 (Me was arm chioing, the way she said his name is very hilarious...)
Girl D: He's a new actor right?
Girl A: Yah, but a very old new actor...

Tsk Tsk Tsk, Got Eyes No See Tarzan Oh-Yee-Oh... Uncle Shen was very handsome and popular 20 years ago you know!

I must say, this Charlie Zhang really gives me the creep, the scene where he looked at Juxiang lecherously while eating the kuei kuei, was classic!

Paiseh!

I was so overjoyed to go back to Hall 9 that I tripped and almost crashed the carom table after giving a hug to my friends!

Wah liew, as if my already elephantiasis body is not clumsy enough!

From high to low

I always had communication problems with my dad, coz he's really fluent in Hokkien while I would probably flunk my one if there's ever an oral test. In any case, I would always get Mum to do the translation, coz I really cannot understand his Hokkienfied Chinese. His wrong use of vocabulary and grammer is his unique style, and obviously, always turn on our laughing spots.

While I was eating my dinner in the living room when he walked by, pointed at a scrap of food on the floor and told me, "那个菜跌倒嘹。"

Both Mum and I guffawed for 10 seconds, then Mum corrected him, "是掉, 不是跌倒!"

Buay Tahan.

Anyway, my life seems pretty dull every since I started work, hardly any anecdotes for me to share on blog, less the fact that I am not very happy at work. Even the recent company dinner did not help to bond with my team mates, coz we were seated separately. In a way, I think is good for me coz, I don't have to sit with my boss. I now keep my mouth shut when with my boss, wasn't the talkative me when I first came to work. Now that he had given me The Talk twice in 4 months and kept having to clean the shit for me, I really feel like I don't have the face to look at him without feeling guilty.

Either the fengshui there doesn't suit me or subconsciously I hate my job. No matter how careful I try to be, I always screwed Big Bosses's Blackberry, forgot to backup Lotus Notes file, corrupted the Winzip files, forgot about the Outlook PST files. And it is always the BIG BOSSES, which included Directors, Regional Managers and VPs.

The best thing is the more I want to make things right, it would go wrong. So I really remain passive unless instructions is given. The best bet to my current situation.

Like a hokkien saying, "Kiang tio ho, mai gei kiang".

Reigning at MJ table once again!

Need I say more? Oh, yes, I won $10.20! Lunch allowance!!!

JB Pilgrimage

It seems almost like yesterday when the four of us had fun in JB, shopping non-stop and ate a lot.
My favorite pic which I was wolfing down mouthfuls of soup, satay and sambal stingray.

The Fantastic Four Meet Again!
Sufeng ScissorHand and Thousand Hands Sage (you should see the amount of bags she carried at the end of the day, LOL)

The Kan Cheong Spider Woman

The Hijacker

Small V and Big V... V for Vendetta

We eat, shop, eat, shop, eat, shop, and almost eat the shops. With the Malaysia Annual Sale, it's hard not to buy anything! But luckily for me, because of my huge size, there's nothing much left for me to buy. Just grab a pair of shoes, and bought a top from Padini just because I MUST GET SOMETHING!

Shuhui was damn happy, big bag small bag food bag, you name it she had it.

We settled our dinner at the Huan Xi Di, a bit disappointed, coz standard dropped. Still... with the price divided by 2, we didn't hiam much.

Must go again lah!

Her standard is on par with Jia leh! Change skin, select option, click OK.

Little Nonya

Did you watch the Little Nonya last night?

Jeanette bared her back and almost got raped!

You know what that means?

She's gonna win the Best Actress award, coz reveal sexy back + physical insult = Star Award is the winning formula.

Unhappiness

I am really unhappy at work... Cried at work in the last 2 days, must be the hormones at work as usual, albeit a bit late though.

I don't know if it was due to the work nature... picking up phones all day long, but phones are common items, can't be avoided.

I don't know if it was due to the people... unreasonable demands and unrealistic requests, but it's everywhere right?

I don't know if it was due to myself... making too many mistakes, and teammates having to cover up for me, and Boss giving me the "talk" every now and then. What he said can be summarized in one sentence, "Not performing to expectations". This is darn demoralizing.

Boss commented I still lack confidence when talking to customers on phone, personally I thought I improved.

The situation is made worse when someone non-tech performing better trying to comfort you saying that WE are non-tech, when I knew I am supposedly to be tech-savvy, coz Boss commented this one too.

I am really trying hard to fit in, but with all the stupid thoughts such as co-workers hate me, customers dislike me, boss ultra fed up with me, I just want to run away everyday! Is really like being married into a wrong family, when we have no communication at all!

The more I want to prove myself, the more mistakes I made.

Help.

Doom Day

I'm so gonna die at work tomorrow.

Earlier in the evening, I had forgot to backup a director's personal folder in his email, and one of these emails could worth millions of dollars!

As much as I want to leave the company, but not in this way of getting fired!

Shit!

Astro Outing

It was rather disappointing. The people whom I have not met for a long time all decided not to come due to personal reason.

And hence, I was left alone with a computer geek and a 宅男 who explicitly self-proclaimed. The 宅男, as usual, talked about himself, about what he had been doing, how he would be single for the rest of his life coz he work in army, and how he is not earning enough, and what would it be life if he had gone to university. Conclusion: Bored.

After the lunch, we went to catch the movie: Quarantine

This is one sick show, because of its documentary way of filming, the scenes were often fidgeting. Is like having seasickness, nauseous and dizzy. It did not help when the show is all about gruesome. But I was too sick to be taken aback at those sudden "suppose to catch you off guard" scenes. I was feeling really sick after the show, and all the 宅男 could say was, "I feel sick too." -_-|||

An average show, although the lead female's acting was superb. It looks like she was really scared.

After the movie, I decided go for some shopping and the 宅男 decided to tag along, not my idea of shopping. He would be waiting outside the shop while I was scrutinizing the price tags of the items. I kept hinting him whether he wanna go back first coz it's gonna take some time since I was shopping. My third attempt finally got him off my tail. Hee hee. That's when I decided to my hair a change.

Oh yah, Miss Diyumi, he asked about you leh!

Feeling sexy again!

I finally got myself a decent hairstylist once again! Another impromptu visit to the saloon, Reds at Plaza Singapura.

A revisits to my old posts, I realized I would always walk into a saloon spontaneously, on a really bad hair day. And yesterday, my hair had gone so bad that I was wearing hairband to keep my grizzly hair tidy. So Reds were having promotion, and I walked by their saloon 3 times before I headed in for their cut & colour promotion.

I was being served with Sprite, a packet of biscuits and a hand towel. I only managed to finish my Sprite coz 90% of the time I was sleeping.

My hairstylist was Luis Wee, and usually I'm not too comfortable chatting much. Anyway, I told him this: "Hey, I came in without any hairstyle in mind, so you can be creative, but please keep my hair length." This sentence usually ended up with good results. The last time I said this I got this really nice haircut which I liked.

I was first treated to a light hair wash, because he said a too thorough wash would cause sting later during colouring on the scalp, so I supposed he wanted to keep the natural oil. The light hair wash took about 10mins. After blow-drying my hair, he set to part my hairs with clips, and commenting how my hair was very flat, and whether did I perm my hair or colour my hair before. The last time I coloured my hair by a professional was 3 years ago, and a DIY last year on 31 December. Anyway, he told he would give me a double layers, so that I have more volume on the top of my head. I think he took about 45 mins cuttng my hair, coz He was really careful with the parting and keep combing until he was satisfied. Surprisingly, my hair didn't come out with each combing, which usually did when I comb myself.

After the cut, I was pretty satisfied, but somehow I felt it didn't really end there, so I asked him, "Are you done with the cut?" I probably sounded very exasperated, so he used a comforting tine and replied, "I trim again after the colouring, not quite yet finish". During the colour choosing, I wanted something natural, coz I had my black hair for a few years, I'm afraid I would grow to dislike the colour after 3 days, choosing something dark and natural, has a more sense of comfort, as the colour doesn't contrast too much with my skin colour. The package included highlight, so Luis recommended the two tones for me. As assistant came over and started to part my hair with clips again, she was asking Luis how many parts to divide, and how to part the hair also, something technical to them. As they colour my hair and wrap with the foil, I recalled my last highlight attempt was done with a shower cap with holes and the end result was very chao ah lian (rough and unbalance division), plus the fact the colour was very chao ah lian also. But I was 21 years of age, so can tahan the chao ah lian colour.

After the foil wrap, they started spreading the base colour on the rest of my mane. After which they placed this machine above me, which it has a huge ring hovering above me and dissipates heat on my head. After about 2omins, I was ready to go and wash my hair again. While they were blow drying my hair, they were doing closing and were in quite a rush, so I was being asked to make payment, write the membership form and choose my door gift. Too lazy to pick my specs, I just squint my eyes and I wrote the form and sign the check. LOL.

I must say, I was very satisfied when I put on my specs and see how nice I looked, after almost a year of horrible hair.

End results:
The highlights

Nice? =D

Now I just have to moisturize my hair till it is sleek and glossy!

Einstein's Riddle

A friend sent me this link: http://www.manbottle.com/trivia/einstein_s_riddle. A logical riddle.

I solved it in 20 minutes using grids, which I was appalled at my own accurate answers and speed, considering that Einsteine said 98% of the world can't solve it. I swear I didn't see the answer altho I must admit some luck was involved. Check out the answer, it showed Einstein solving the question with equations! Yeah, he probably took 20 minutes also, like me.

I am so amazed by myself, coz I can be so smart and so goodu at the same time, which makes me: Amazing.

I don't if I am logically inclined or I am behavioral disabled. I made my boss vomit blood all day long by my stupidity at work.

I'm too logical for my own good. Bleahz!

Let me know if you solve it too, at least I know I ain't the only weird kid in the blog. =) EEE student should have no problem lah hor.

Sibeh Sianz...

My Jap class is postponed to December.

The more sianz thing was, I thought I had backup my Dad's photo in my Samsung phone to the Sony Ericsson, but I didn't! Shit... It was a batch of interesting photos!

I was having dinner at the coffeeshop with Mum & Dad on Monday, which we later went to Sheng Siong for grocery shopping. So Dad was carrying the sackof rice on his shoulders, back like his heydays when he was young, strong and handsome lah! So I took a series of his backshots... Coz somehow it reminded me of 朱自清的《背影》.

Now I lost my own version.... Argh!!!

Update: This is 5 minutes later after the above. I found the photos. -_-|||

9 months later...

Miss Gwee and Miss Ng still cannot forget my birthday blunder ultra hilarious reaction! We actually still laughed to tears when we were talking about it! Bleahz... Die... That unglam scene of mine is so stuck with them forever.

Caught the Ave Q with the 2 of them, and only when with them, I actually forgo my weekly mahjong! Well, on top of of that, Marina Square was having quite a bit of sale.

Saw this pair of red shoes which was so apt to wear for CNY from Club Marc... $20 leh... Tempted to buy but the heels looked so weak that I think it will fall apart within the hour I wear...

My birthday is on Chu Si next year... I can come up with a theme party... celebrating 4th year anniversary of being 21 year old.

Snoop from Miss Gwee's vocab, a "ching-chong" theme partee!!!

Ave Q is fabulous! Laugh until I cry!

Today is a busy Sunday for me... My fingers didn't had a good rest from punching those ATM devices, and the computer keyboard. $xxx fly away today... $ for Jamie's tuition class & course materials, $ for my own Jap class which starts next week same time with Jamie's tuition, $ for the Bird Park Tickets (I got free tix for PA membership signup, so bought the other 2 at 30% off) and $ for next week's lunch. Bleahz....

Quite excited to pick up my Jap again... and be a student again. =)

Dreams Come True

I wanted and new and affordable camera; I got it.

I wanted compensation for the awful taxi ride; I did.

I wanted my stupid shoes to fall apart, it happened!

Now where's the job I wanted?

Once again, I totally throw my boss off his guard, and showed my best side: Ultra Blur & Blindy Eyes

He was looking for this laptop, I told I only remember it was placed under the table, and hence I looked under the table and said, "Nope, not there."

My boss saw the laptop 5 minutes later, under the same table, just beside me.

All I could uttered was, "Sorry, too blind". You all should have see my boss' face, and he was totally speechless. And me, was burning red with embarrassment.

I wish I was really Doraemon and then I could hide into my pockets!

Police Car

I wasn't jaywalking, but I was crossing without the green man on, when a police car was turning right into when I was. I thought it was funny that the car paused to let me pass. And I actually stunned for a second, thinking, "Shit! Police Car!"
