the weekend is gone

my friend posed a qn to me just now while we were walking around orchard. she asked, "if a guy were to offer u a million bucks to sleep with him, would u do it?"

first of all, no guy wld b tt desperate. second, if he really had a million bucks, he wldn't need to pay women to sleep with him. third, if he wants to get laid, there r plenty of cheap sluts out there.

so my answer was "i would negotiate. he can give me the million but i'll give him half to marry me. when he does, then and only then will i sleep with him. of cos he won't b able to sleep with other women after tt so he's gonna hv to think long and hard abt this. if he finds it too daunting then too bad... divorce is not an option." what say u?

yaya: i don't stare at the girl's guy. i stare at girls' guys and guys in general. pussycat dolls... well doncha? haha. why i stare... i dunno. i remember badboy saying tt he doesn't think i will do very well if i don't find someone soon. i've been surviving the whole time what. i'm still surviving, but i'm not living. tho i've been busy like crazy lately, i don't think i've been busy with the right things.

yasmine: i already hv the answer to tt qn. the girls hv great hair. really. either tt or pakai tudung so great tudung. guess i'm gonna b single for a long time. europe 2007 here i (we) come.

but really, no guy would b tt desperate.

update on the wardrobe decision: i don't think i'll b able to wear saree afterall cos my fren who's supposed to tie it for me won't b coming to the wedding cos she has to go to m'sia for her aunt's wedding reception. i hv other indian frens who can tie for me of cos (kavi this means u) but i dunno if i can get one made in time. so no saree for me. :( bummer. unless i can work out the timing and tying thing ah. very disappointed ok. saw some ladies in sarees just now and they looked awesome. so beautiful. sighs.

people watching people watching people

i hv a new bad habit. i usually like to people watch but nowadays i find tt i stare at couples a lot. not only tt, i will look at the girl, then the guy. the girl will obviously catch me staring at the guy and will sometimes give me a dirty look. especially if i take a 2nd glance. eh if he's cute wat can i do? look sommore lah... no harm rite? haha. girlfriends out there r gonna kill me now.

so tell me, do u mind if other girls check yr man out? do u consider it a threat of sorts? or do u think tt it's a compliment, like hey, my bf is gorgeous! and he's with ME! nyeh nyeh nyeh.

i dunno why i do it tho. ok actually i hv a pretty gd idea of why, but i'm gonna let u guys figure it out. haha. shouldn't b too hard rite?

i'm waiting for my 1st full paycheck to come in. it's supposed to be in by today cos we usually get it on the 27th but since 27th is a sun, they'll give it to us earlier. just now i checked still don't hv leh. very sad. very broke. wanna go shopping tomoro sommore. how like that... best part is, i think i might even be running a deficit after working out how much goes where. sad eh. oh well...

hmm

harry potter was shiok ahhhhh. as my msn nick for the past few days had reiterated. no, i do not find it disturbing that i find harry HOT. haha. i wanna watch again ah.

isn't it strange how we end up unconsciously imitating the speech styles and lingo of people we hang out a lot with? it's happening at work and it's bloody hilarious. so if i start speaking in tongues when i meet u guys, bear with me. hehe.

i also realised that i cannot make decisions if i hv too many choices. and that i plan practically every step. this is called foresight, people! haha. or it could be anal and ocd, i dunno. short attention span too. hmm. i still can't decide btwn batik and mirror. macam dah malas. haha. i think i'll probably go with mirror ah... cos i'm more familiar with the materials & i won't b wasting my $$ if i decide never to do it ever again. batik will save it for when i hv more time lah hor.

uh i hv another decision to make- saree for my bro's wedding dinner or normal baju? by normal i mean i'm gonna get my mum's tailor to sew something i concocted lah. i think saree would b cool. need more opinions...

ok ah uninspired entry. ciao.

can't get no satisfaction

i was saying tt my dad just noticed i lost weight. this is because i wore jeans for the 1st time in like 3 weeks or something. during the nyp training days, i couldn't wait to get posted to the office so i could dress up. now, i miss my jeans and polo tees. sighs. manusia. it also doesn't help that i've been getting blisters and abusing my feet in general due to improper footwear. my idea of proper footwear is a pair of new balance cross training shoes. happy happy feet.

fortunately, i discovered urs inc. shoes. damn comfy ahhhh! walked all the way from bras basah to orchard in 2 inch heels and my feet didn't hurt at all! fabulous. think i'm gonna invest in more shoes from them. can't have heels lower than 2 inches tho. cos i don't wanna cut my pants. i don't get why those shoes with ankle straps r in. don't they just cut yr legs off and make them look short? i prefer slingbacks... but i do own ankle strap shoes. haha. don't wear skirts mah, so who's gonna see?

walking around arab st made me realise tt once i do start my label proper, i'll hv plenty of competition. lots of places hv a similar concept to what i'm planning but the difference is, i'm catering solely for the young. urban. professionals. haha. so in the beginning i'm gonna depend on u lot to help spread the word aight? lifetime discounts for those who intro their frens who actually get stuff. :) i'm so excited. gonna call it 'niche' but i'm afraid some ppl may not b able to pronounce it. thinking up a few alternatives as well... then again, if u can't pronounce it, do i want u wearing my stuff? haha such a snob. pfft.

i'm watching harry potter today! woohoo!

poll time

ok i'm supposed to be at the gym right now busting my ass on the treadmill but i had a big lunch with my mum and aunts at banquet after a few hours of shopping at arab street therefore i decided to go home and perhaps go jog at the reservoir instead. unfortunately it looks like it's going to rain soon so... oh well. my dad also only just realised that i've lost weight. sheesh. it's true i guess, men really don't notice details.

i wanna get my bro a wedding present but i dunno what to do. should i paint a mirror for him or do a batik painting? help me out here guys... the mirror would be easier but the batik would be cooler. neither would be easy to hide tho. opinions please.

dum dee dum

u know that u're probably taking the wallowing in self- pity and being sad thing a tad too far when yr fren's bf has to practically shove a compliment down yr throat. and u weren't even fishing for one.

i hate office politics. i also acknowledge the fact that i am young, idealistic, hot-headed, opinionated and i love to question authority. i also know that i need to practice a poker face. i solemnly swear that i will make an effort to be happy each day and to let things slide like water off a duck's back. unless it's really over the top and ridiculous lah in which case i will try not to jeopardise my career.

saw a quite pretty dress on display at this fashion just now and i thought, hmm, that would be great to wear in phuket. if i ever get to phuket. unfortunately upon closer inspection it actually did look as cheap as it was priced. oh well. lesson learnt- good from far, far from good.

there are abt 3 weeks left to my bro's wedding and i haven't even given out the cards yet. to those who know that u r invited, if it so happens that my mum runs out of cards, sorry hor, gonna have to invite u guys thru sms... i hv 3-4kg to go b4 reaching my jc weight. i need to do this by bro's wedding... i need loads of help. i also think that i probably strained my abs. yes, it is possible. jiayoh jiayoh.

i think working life is a bore. or maybe i'm a bore. oh well.

gonna b alright

ok was sad just now but a relaxing chat with a cute guy fren elevated my mood somewhat. yeah i am a total sucker for a pretty face. :) he's nice sommore! great package ah. too bad his girlfriend and him are madly in love. haha.

yeah yeah my time will come. whatever. spoil my mood why don't u... gggrrr.

incensed

actually ah, i'm sad and i need a good crying session but i've decided to channel it into anger instead cos it's easier. also, there r 3 ppl sleeping in my room(4 inc. me) and i don't wanna answer any probing questions abt the opening of my apparently existent tear ducts.

my grandma, aunt, uncle and their maid hv just moved into my place indefinitely, btw. they just sold their house and are looking for a new one so in the meantime, bunking in with us. i am not gonna say anything abt this cos we did stay with them for a while too when we were in btwn houses a few years ago. there are a total of 11 ppl under my roof right now.

as mentioned on shaz's tagboard, it irks me when ppl speak in their own language even in the company of ppl who don't understand that particular language. they do it so nonchalantly, not even sparing a thought to those who are in the circle, but hv no freaking clue wat is going on. try turning the tables and they insist that u translate. i don't think that's fair at all. especially when they themselves don't hv the courtesy to translate or even speak a universal language to aid communications in the first place.

work has been pretty relaxed i guess, still in the honeymoon period. it sucks tho, that we r made to feel unwanted practically every day. they weren't very enthusiastic abt us being there in the 1st place so the training and hands on have been pretty slow so far. the head and deputy heads and some of the staff r pretty easy to get along with tho. unfortunately, some of the others seem to think that we are incompetent and not capable of doing what needs to be done. yeah sure it doesn't matter that we are all uni grads and perfectly willing to learn.

hmm i don't sound angry do i. too tired 2b angry lah. don't get mad, get even... and i think the being sad part is too huge to channel into anger alone.

clean and green

saturday was a very long day. had to go for tree planting in the morn at bedok reservoir. was representing my org. thing is, being on the neighbourhood committee, i already knew the program for this weekend beforehand. so i was a bit puzzled when i saw that mass tree planting was only starting at 11am but we were supposed to report at 8.30am. my program was right. abt half of my colleagues (the ones i knew) left and the other half hung around since they had come all the way. i went home, had brekkie, watched some tv, and heading back at almost 11am. the friends who stayed were in the exact same spot i left them. haha. so im like, guys, i think they started planting a while ago. so we headed in the direction of our designated planting plot... and noticed that fellow org. people were heading back already. in short, we missed the entire reason we were there in the 1st place. to make up for it i started to menyakat one of the HR guys we knew. hey, better than nothing right?

oh, sometime in the morn my dad called my hp. this event in itself was strange as my dad never calls me. but what took place during the conversation was even more strange. he offered me a kitten. this is as unlikely to happen as, say, me getting married in the next month. so of cos i said hell yeah. and the rest of the story, i'm too tired to continue now and i need to do presentation slides so will contnue next time ok.

misrepresentation

just watched the first episode of this new show on channel 5 called 'lifeline'. mainly about the home team ah, scdf, spf, paramedics, etc. i was under the impression that in reality, scdf and spf have malays as the majority with a sprinkling of other races and fewer chinese boys as they get sent to saf instead. apparently in reel life, this is not true.

gurmit is the star scdf dude with a chinese dude, an indian dude, a malay dude(looks chinese if u ask me) and several chinese ladies. there was a malay actress too but in my opinion she can't act for nuts and does not deserve that job title. as a side note, there was a scene shot in the raffles california fitness gym and i think rohana's actor played the sleaze who was checking her out. not sure lah, but he did look a lot like him. my eyeballs almost popped out when looking out for a representation of the majority in these services but i was sorely disappointed. not even there as extras. yeah i guess it is correct that they have at least one of each race in the cast but come on who are u kidding? then the others how? *raised eyebrow*

i think u guys get my drift by now right? i don't wanna end up in jail lor, so just stating facts. wahaha.

speaking of uniformed services (we all know how hot men in uniform are, come on), i get to tag along to an scdf camptalk later this month! woohoo! ya lah, will be promoting insurance but who cares?? i get to cuci mata! hmm i sound desperate. ok try reading this paragraph again while imagining the exclamation marks are fullstops instead. delete the cuci mata comment too. hmm...

i have to come up with a presentation on one of the products by mon. sat, i'm gonna be planting trees at bedok res park. sun, i'm going to a deepavali lunch and then probably helping my grandma move but i have a hari raya makan invite too. so how like that.

did i mention that i have been battling what i reckon is an ear infection almost all week? my throat got sore, then my neck hurt and i got a fever. fever went, neckache stayed, throat isn't really sore. therefore my ears r infected. i can bet anything that if i go to the doc with a throat complaint, he will check my ears.

ok just heard on the news about 4 boys who had sex with a 12 year old girl. YOU SICK BASTARDS. girl, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING? KEEP YOUR FUCKING LEGS CLOSED CAN OR NOT?? so young so itchy already ah?? basket. the sentences for the boys may get reduced since they have contributed to the singapore soccer scene. so if i can kick a ball around and get recognised for it then i also can anyhow go around and have sex with minors lah? fucking screwed up sial.

i'm having cramps. bite me.

shortie

ok a short one, cos i'm tired laaaah. went to the raffles branch of california fitness just now with qhody after work. it's not bad, but i think i still prefer orchard. cos we hv new machines there. hehe. and i like the high ceilings and the feeling of anonymity.

what exactly do i do at work. the eternal question. well, for now, i need to do more training and sit for the M5 and M9 insurance papers so that i can give insurance advice and recommend products to customers (ie. sell it). i dowan laaaah! calculations and memory work are not my fortes! in fact, they're probably my weaknesses! basket. after i pass those then there are a couple of others i hv to sit for but i can't remember what they are right now.

this is bloody unfair cos when we signed up to join this exec thing, they reassured us time and again that we would not be selling insurance. well what the hell are we doing now then?? gggrrr. i feel cheated. sighs. ok ah wanna sleep.

leave a msg & i won't call u back

u know how raya is a time to seek forgiveness and such right... i don't understand why we can't seek forgiveness all the time. there isn't a specific time period to be remorseful is there? i mean, ok lah, i forgive but i don't really forget. if u apologise, i'll happily accept it but not if it's just lip service. then again, if u apologise profusely even after i've said that i accepted it a long time ago, that's just not gonna fly. it's a time for goodwill, but i really wish that some people would just fucking die and leave me the hell alone.

in an unrelated issue, did anyone watch quran buruk on suria just now?? damn cool ah the way everyone got their just desserts in the end. especially the ones who got struck by lightning. fab, just fab. urhm no, i'm not like bloodthirsty or anything, but it's karma, u know. there was another one on 1st day raya called 2 x 5 = dol. omg, felt like slapping the stupid female character man. so freaking annoying! and very real. i cannot stand manja people ah. they make my skin crawl. i also cannot stand mats and minahs. make my skin crawl even more. i'm referring to the perangai buruk ones, of cos, not mats and minahs in general. this character was both. her fiance wanted to marry her even then. i guess there is no accounting for taste and love really is blind.

or i could be pmsing. *shrug*

poor feet

i hate my charles and keith pointy shoes. i've had them for a while already but everytime i wear them i get damn bad blisters on my heels and smallest toes. sucks ah!! had to wear them to my presentation on wed, so on raya i had plasters all over. blisters haven't healed yet, so i can't even wear my running shoes cos i need to air the suckers out. they got all watery and red! see, this is why i don't wear cheap shoes. i soo need a pedicure.

would take pics and post them but i don't want to gross u guys out. haha. hmm then again...

i wanna get kumfs. a kiwi brand of shoe apparently designed by podiatrists. sounds good to me. not gonna let my feet suffer anymore, especially since i'm planning on walking around a lot (refer to previous post). they hv a store at palais renaissance and another at tanglin mall. who wants to come with me and explore these places?? i hv no idea where they are and i really don't wanna get lost. haha.

1st day at work...

wow been a while since i updated huh. dah bulan baru sey! haha. anyways, haven't had any mood to post lah, wat with hari raya and me having lazy irresponsible siblings so i hv to do ALL the work...

funny enuf this year i did manage to collect. haha. but just as soon as the money was in, back out it went on friday cos i bought a suit for work. G2000, buy the jacket and u get the bottoms free, how could i resist? i needed one lah, would rather save my money for a rainy day but what to do, work requires it.

work which started on friday. friday!! sick. we were supposed to start on mon but then someone found out our last day at nyp was wed and the joker made us start on fri. pfft. so the HR dude came in on wed b4 our final presentation to give us our postings. he said that 6 of us had been especially handpicked by the HR general manager to go to the quite newly set up business centre in bras basah. names got called, envelopes were given out. i was happily assuming i would get sent to tampines since i lived so near.

guess who got posted to the business centre?

there goes my plan to save on transport/ cycle or walk to work/ go home early, etc, etc. if u're wondering, yes the ego in me was secretly pleased tt i was one of the 6. cos the other postings weren't that great. outgoing calls, incoming calls and field servicing.

on the bright side, being in such a centralized place, i can walk anywhere! can walk to bugis, suntec, dhoby ghaut, orchard... if i can find my way around lah. haha.

so 1st day, the 6 of us turned up at 8.30am like we were supposed to and reported to the dept. we sat around for abt an hour, then a guy comes in and tells us that the head we were supposed to meet is on leave. they weren't even aware we were supposed to b there! shoddy. then another guy comes in and asked if anyone told us we were to report at 10am instead. cos apparently our work hours are from 10am to 7pm. wtf??

this guy sits down, intros himself (assistant head, i think), tells us a little abt what it is they do in the biz centre, then takes us on a tour while he checks with HR abt what the hell is going on. he then let us off for a 2.5 hour lunch cos we had nothing to do. we came back at abt 2pm, he spoke for abt another 40 min then we were released for the day. great 1st day at work huh??

so i guess i will really know what's happening on mon. when the head gets back from his leave. hmm. will keep u guys posted. hehe.
