In my company, there is this weird culture of not pressing the lift for others. Not that we engineers are a bunch of jerks, it is just the culture, it is more of "monkey see monkey do". So today, while I was waiting for the lift, I reminded myself that I must press the "door open" button so that people can stream in without getting kiap by the lift door.
There weren't a lot of us, just me and 3 other guys waiting for the door. So, I was the first one to get inside, so I pressed the button to keep the door open. But very soon, the door was closing and the guy was halfway in only, then I quickly hit the button a few more times, but the door was adamant on closing, but luckily, the guy had already hopped in.
So while the lift was traveling up, as per usual, we all looked at the ground, looked the door, looked at the posters. There was a manager from my unit but we didn't greet each other anyway. So as I stoned looking at the buttons, I realised, I had been pressing at the "door closed" button.
No wonder the door closed so fast.

Jamie got lucky!
She found $1, got a $15 cheque from the Flame of the Forest publishing coz they picked her story (which Jia and me edited a thousand times and still not happy with it coz it was too plagarize but she won anyway) and she managed to squeeze into upper EM2, which really took out burden off. Her class focus more on Maths and Science coz their English too powerful already. Apparently due to her distinction in English New South Wales paper.
Heng ah.

Baby Arm Floats
I went for my breast-stroke swimming lesson earlier. After swimming almost 20 laps, I was kpkb how my arms were aching yet I'm dying to tone them.
There was this other lady, somehow misheard it and thought I said I wanted to put baby arm floats so that my arms wouldn't ache.
"No lah, my floats are natual one!", I replied, raise my arms and shook the "floats".

No money no problem or no money sure got problem?
Got news that a cousin a year my junior is getting married.
She an N' level grad, works as cashier. Her partner is a car mechanic.
This got me thinking.
I noticed (well, actually the govt did the stats too) that people with higher qualifications married at later age. It's like the more papers you have, the later you marry.
My theory is, because we used the time to study instead of pak tor, so we ended up dating later. So more papers qualification = more time spent = less time for dates.
Then, when you have higher qualifications, you have higher expectations, and this applies so exceptionally true for women. Maybe only 20% of the females I know don't have such criteria.
Another thought, we always felt that we need money to get marry, we need even more money for marriage life, worse if you have kids. My colleagues and I did some assumptions calculations, if we really scrimp, $3000 seems to be enough, but then is better if there's double income lah, more elastic when it comes to financial planning.
So, back to my cousin, I think their incomes add up to <$3000, so, what prompted them to marry? Why do they want to marry? The first image that came to my mind when I knew she's getting married was a scene of a mother nagging at the father of his low income while 3 kids are wailing on the floor. Heck, I don't even visualising romance at their proposal.
Kaoz, spinster thoughts at work again.
Anyway, I think higher qualification grads are planning too far ahead, assuming the problems that had yet to be real, and hence throwing away potential chances at their own love life. Well, it can't be helped, the higher education taught us to assume, plan ahead and avoid mistakes.
But for lower education, mistakes are meant to be learnt, so it's alright to make them. And thinking far ahead has never been their way of life, I mean, to put it bluntly, "I am only O'level grad, what can I do, at most cashier all my life". It's like they think in present tense only.
Seriously sometimes I think education screwed us badly, and backfire on gahmen's plan on more elites in the future. You know, more degree holders get married = more brainier kids? I see more divorce rates and angsty kids.

Real work makes me sick
Literally.
I was tasked to do a small web system for our internal project team. So today I was looking at the code and deciding how I wanted to do it.
I had to view the code in Notepad, which really strained my eyes. Tried to rest my eyes, but to no avail.
At knocking off time, my coordinators asked if I was ready to go with them. When I looked up from the computer screen, and told them to wait for me to pack my bag, both of them went, "Alamak, why you looked so pale!"
FYI, I hardly looked pale, even when I was very sick. So if I'm pale, this kinda implied that I was really tired out by my task.
But then, I am happy that I got some real thing to do, and "bad thoughts" just stay away.

NC16, M18, R21
The conversation between me and my colleagues has gone from PG, to M18 and recently R21. Boredom really drives us nuts.
Case #1: M18
So, we were having our lunch and 2 colleagues ate extra much than usual, we teased them about having second puberty. Then, Colleague A started asking whether our breasts hurt during that period, and all of us went stunned for a moment and started laughing.
“You mean guy or girl?” someone asked. (Can’t remember was it me or the others who asked)
Colleague A: “Guy. One of sec school mate had breast pain, and we loved pushing and thumping him on his chest.”
At this point, I was secretly thinking, he was the one but he used a classmate as shield. Maybe the others were secretly thinking like this too. LOL.
Anyway, we started engaging in a debate on how guy can feel pain there, but Colleague B mentioned that it was possible for men to have breast cancer, why not breast pain blah blah blah the anatomy of guy’s chest.
Then, Colleague C burst out saying to Colleague A, “Eh, later we must go toilet take off your clothes and check liao.”
Wah ha ha.
*We googled, and quote from ehow.com: Nearly all girls and some boys experience breast pain during puberty
Case#2: R21
Colleague S bought a bunch of bananas after lunch and asked if we want some. Those naughty ones started teasing, "Your banana, don't want lah. Too dark liao." LOL, S is very dark. Anyway, they started joking about the length of the bananas, and then somehow it lead to the "action". So I spontaneously grabbed one, and did the "action". All of them stunned, then burst out laughing, coz it was so unlike me to do such kind of acts, but they thought it was hilarious. After all the laughing, Colleague M pointed out to me that I got the anatomy wrong. Confused, I asked how wrong. Oh, turned out that I "grabbed" the wrong way round, and hence, instead of moving up and down from the top, I was doing it from the bottom.
"Paiseh lah, aku no experience. Learn from online, didn't observe carefully."

Felt like an idiot
You know, those colorful file dividers that comes with a content page? Well, I never used the content page, preferring to write it on the tab itself.
And so today, I was tasked to do some filing, using the dividers. My instinct was to write the labels on the tab, but I realized I was to use the labeling machine and paste them in the content page. So I only wrote one wrong tab, and then waiting for further instructions from the person.
This person, saw my writing on the tab, immediately showed disdain and chided, "Why you write there? Use the machine!"
"I know..." I replied, nonchalantly.
"Secondary school got do before what, you dunno meh? You print the label, then paste them"
TNND, secondary school I used to write in on the tab, coz the content page not enough and it was far less efficient. It was much faster for me to search by browsing the tabs, nothing wrong what. Why must he sound like he's teaching a primary school kid how to do filing?
If I wasn't the only female (newbie) left in the office, I wouldn't be doing this. The trend had always been the slim girls' work. Well, I'm not complaining that I didn't get to do the sai kang that time, what I meant is I'm doing the sai kang now coz no more girls.
Bloody hell.

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

I think I weigh 78kg in the day time too.
Factors taken into consideration:
- We usually weight lighter at night, so, if I weigh 78kg after a a satisfying dinner, technically, I weigh 77kg on an empty stomach.
- 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?
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.

I met up with the lady behind the BAB.com.sg to exchange. She is so friendly! Because the jacket was a little defective, not really defective but the button hole was sewn up and I had to "open" them, she gave me 4 edollars credit for me! So nice of her.

Jogging
Super shagged.
Was supposed to go jogging after work today, ended up I ran before I knocked off. Well, not exactly ran, but still, it cost me sweat and energy.
The few of us (newbies) were lobbied to do a video for the company. As it turned out, it was an fire emergency safety video!!! My task, or rather our task, was to run down from the stairs and made it out of the exit door frantically. We did at least 15 takes for that, which equate to 15 runs. Not our fault, our "main lead" had placed his hand either too high or too low while making a phone call.
Although the whole thing took about 40 minutes, but it felt like 4 hours. Hot, sweaty and sticky. I stoned for the rest of the day and deleted the evening jog off my schedule.
My arms and legs are still aching too.
But, I saw a slight wave silhouette on my waist today, instead of a straight line, so this is going to be my motivation!
GANBATTE!
Was supposed to go jogging after work today, ended up I ran before I knocked off. Well, not exactly ran, but still, it cost me sweat and energy.
The few of us (newbies) were lobbied to do a video for the company. As it turned out, it was an fire emergency safety video!!!

Selling weapons but not allowed to kill
Since Mon and Wed are dedicated to swimming, my colleagues and I went jogging on Tuesday.
After a 3 rounds jog and X rounds of walking & chatting, WSNN and I dropped by the MRT station to top our ezlink cards. Before we made our way back, WSNN went to the bakery, wanted to buy the next day's breakfast for herself. And both of us were seduced by the sushi roll bread, which looked ultra delicious. We decided to share.
After getting the lady to cut it into halves and packed separately, we made our way out to the other exit of the station and started devouring the sushi bread. It wasn't until I was finishing our last mouthful of it, when WSNN exclaimed, "We can't eat!".
Just as I was about to muffly ask why, with the rolls busy rolling inside my mouth, she continued exclaiming: "We in MRT station!"
OMGGM! We totally forgot we were not supposed to eat inside the control station. As we were nearing the exit, we doubled up, hastily covering up that we were eating.
When we were out of the range of "No eating", WSNN angrily commented, "Stupid lor, this is like selling weapons to us but telling us cannot kill. So stupid. Shouldn't rent stalls for food mah if don't want us to eat!"
She indeed made a wonderful point.

Gossip bits flying all around
When one is too free, one will find something to do.
For me is to talk talk talk.
Recently, very suddenly, I turned from the gossip head to the gossip end, receiving news flash all around. One or two I just detected it by chance.
Some interesting, some sad, some just confirmed my suspicions.
Nevertheless, harmless one can tell one I sure blurt out some way some how in my own unique way (landing myself in trouble most of the time), but most bits I will immediately turned on my amnesia switch and forget it.
Coz saying out won't make anyone happy.
And because of all those gossips which some were supposed to be hidden, came my quote of the month:
"The more one conceals, the more one reveals." Anyway, there's gossips because of secrets.
I'm a very frank, straightforward, open-minded and very kaypoh person. If you tell me cannot say, I won't say. Maybe only to my teddy bear Baby.
Past lessons learned had taught me to watch my mouth, dun anyhow shoot. Apparently, I didn't learn much from it. My personality just can't help it sometimes.
I don't really understand why I'm saying all these. Maybe, I just need to say something yet I cannot say so I anyhow say.
Understand?

Random
I just saw my 30th Aug post popped up in the main page. Blogger been giving me some problems.
Went to St James again last Fri, I felt stupid. Coz every time someone passed me a drink, I asked, "Do I have to finish it?" LOL. Stupid. And for no reason, I just had to drink it from a straw. Weird.
Had 2 driving lessons back to back today, because I woke up late, I went driving on an empty stomach. With no fuel in me, I couldn't concentrate. The instructor almost pengz for 2 hours until the last minute I could steer beautifully on the outer lane. The next lesson was the same instructor, he pengz again coz I couldn't steer left properly on the inner lane. LOL. Luckily he fasting, so they had to be patient, cannot showed temper. =D He said one.
Before the St James, had dinner at Mushroom Pot, super expensive for dinner. $33.60 each. We had 2 tables as we had 11 people, the all-guys table sure can eat, think they had endless of plates coming up lor. We were down after 3 or 4 rounds.
Just packed my makeup/skincare drawer, I still have samples unused, yet I still buy. really itchy hands. Some eyeshadow pots long past their 3 years life shelf, but can't bring myself to throw away coz some hardly used. YET, I am now using the new colours already. Throw or not to throw, this is the question.
My neck super aching now, coz I had the tendancy to look up when driving, coz instructor said, "look far". My instinct was to look up.
Must learn to look far and not look up.
