sudden avalanche of great news

i got my bonus this month. but ssssshhhh don't tell anyone. i'm gonna hoard it away for a rainy day or a day i feel like a bit of sunshine. ie., shopping, travelling, other frivolous expenses. oh ya, my masters too.

my sis got into nus biz admin. not that i'm surprised cos she's been top 10% in her poly every single year. very proud and happy for her. save money also, no need to go overseas. wahaha.

my sis in law is pregnant! this means that my bro will be a FATHER. that i cannot get over. another thing that's even harder to get over is- i'm gonna be a MAKCIK. how unglam is that sia? baby's coming in nov... wicked.

my aunt is giving birth in a couple of weeks. should see her stomach man, she's huuuuuuge. can't wait. hehehe. new toy new toy!

nah not gonna elaborate on any of the above. malas ah. just squeal along, people, squeal along.

been there, done that

the build up was slightly nerve-wracking. the event itself took less than a minute. it wasn't painful. at all. i didn't even wince. yaya felt like a proud parent. for me it was a little anti- climatic. i was like, that's it? hmm.

whatever it is, my lifelong (ok, not quite) dream has been fulfilled. :) tho i am dreading the after effects. has benefits tho, i haven't sat up quite so straight ever. for long periods sommore.

to answer the question, "should i, shouldn't i?". i did.

fyi, titanium black with a sapphire blue stone. *nudge nudge wink wink*

gotta love it.

what i get for not reading the papers

damien rice is having a concert here next week. it's sold out and i didn't even KNOW about it. aaarrrrggghhhh!!! sooo lame! very sad. anyone got any lobang to get tix?? sighs. :(

remind me to be in the loop and be ahead of the pack from now on ok. bummer lah.

another whiny entry abt work... and then some

i'm doing something partially important at work. i'm more or less coordinating the whole move to tampines. happening this weekend. or as i put on the movement board in the office, "moving. (i hope)". hmm. kinda cool lah cos the bosses depend on me. haha. i'm supposed to randomly allocate people to the stations but obviously seeing how the power is in my hands i'm gonna put people wherever the hell i want. wahaha. ahh privileges. love em.

got a complaint today from a customer i didn't call when i was supposed to. tell someone who gives a damn lah. worst part is rite, the stupid hotline dept gave the idiot (customer) my hp no!! since when was my hp no. company property?? dumb fucks. gonna ask them to stop sending me those irritating sms notifications too. don't get into my personal space mans. back the hell off.

just now the ceo had a briefing will all us happening young execs. wants us to start selling. incentives are not bad lah but whatever. i ain't no salesperson. gonna make damn sure they know that. it's a challenge? pain in the ass ok.

tomoro we're having a dept dinner and he'll be there too. sigh. on the other hand, the menu is awesome, cos i organised the caterer. wahaha. yup, i'm 'lending a hand' wherever i can. kepo kepo.

hmm why am i always talking about work. anyways, since rohana spilled the beans already, yeah i'm off the market. wahaha. no, i don't want any comments. just be happy for me ok. thanks.

midweek whine

i need a get rich quick scheme. NOW. i really cannot stand work. even the thought of having to go back tomoro after a 3 day hiatus(hiatus my ass. details later) gives me heart palpitations. aaargh! biggest regret to date- signing that stupid bond.

ok details about how work won't leave me alone. we get leads that we're supposed to call up and they inform us via email AND sms. sms!!! what the hell?? i even get them on weekends! i DO NOT wanna get smses from work! are they paying my phone bill? noooooo. what the hell is the reason behind sending me freaking smses asking me to call up people? customer first my ass ok. my time is mine. gonna get the stupid relevant dept to stop the sms notifications for me. assholes.

this is really pissing me off. i'm gonna go chill.

stress ah stress

i forgot to bitch about something else. last wed i did my 1st ever presentation in front of a 200- strong group of nsmen. i never said i was any good with presentations. i have never showed that i'm any good with presentations. so what the hell? was bloody nervous and i think i sucked. went too fast, was too nervous and made a couple of major mistakes. but at least they enjoyed it. i think. stupid me also wore a top that i think i look fat in. doh. did nothing for my confidence i tell you.

speaking of confidence, i have none. can't drive. can't do telemarketing. can't do sales. can't be counted on to get things done. sighs. i suck with practical tasks. even in aust, i wasn't great with the housekeeping and helping out with events and stuff. come to think of it, i even sucked at waitressing. hmm. then again, i only sucked when there was someone else there who was better at it. if i'm on my own or with, ahem, 'more challenged' people, then i'm totally competent. wahaha. the only thing i think i'm really good at is planning. but someone else has to execute it. i'll just supervise. haha.

back to the presentation. i have to do another one on fri for another group of 200 nsmen. 3 others are going with me but none of them are presenters. if i go blank or chicken out last minute, there won't be anyone there for back up. i'm pissing myself already.

on the bright side, this coming week i'll be in office for only 2 days. mon and tues on course then offday on wed. fri i won't be in office half the time cos we'll be coming in around 11.30 and leaving for the talk at about 5pm. sweet.

ok off to build someone a wayang kulit stage. oh crap, forgot about researching for characters... doo di doo di doo.

shallow me

applying for the latest credit/ debit card on the market cos... it's a pretty purple colour. :D well, lilac, with silver words. cool rite? so exciting... and got cash rebates when you spend at certain shopping centres sommore. the tagline is 'shop for cash'. which is a bit coincidental, cos i was just telling my cousin's bf (soon to be fiance, in like, 2 weeks) that if i had the choice i wouldn't work for money. hmm.

been a long time...

did anyone miss me? haha. nothing much has been happening lah, so no updates. unless u wanna hear me whine and bitch about the pain in my ass that is work. life is too short to work just so other people can get rich man. ok lah ok i'll do a bit of whining. haha.

i did mention last time that i should probably calm down and not be so idealistic and self righteous. screw that lah. if u won't stand up for yourself then who will? making noise to the powers above does work but sometimes the effort put in is just not justified by the results. i think there's something wrong somewhere with that sentence. hmm. anyways, yeah. it's hard to be rebellious when everyone is asking you to bite your tongue and go along with stuff. mebbe this time round i'm not as daring as i was in the last job i was unhappy with (the scientific/chemical/whatever it's called formula for water) becos now i actually have something to lose. dammit.

oh well. whatever lah. don't care. yeah my attitude sucks, so what? people are telling me to do my best no matter what kinda tasks they give you so that when the time comes, they can recommend you to other departments. yeah right. empty promises. they did not hold up their end of the bargain so is there any reason i should hold up mine? i don't think so. you scratch my back i scratch yours. can't expect something from nothing. pfft. idiots.

we were supposed to move to our new office today. didn't happen. why? cos last minute management pulled the plug on renovations cos they weren't happy with the place. 3 days before we were supposed to move. idiots. i am worked up because i was looking forward to the move sooo bad. absolutely dying to move to the office because it's nearer to home therefore i will be saving on travel time and transport costs. also cos it means that we can finally have our own space and stop sharing with the other centre who have been turning increasingly competitive and unhelpful. u want the sales just take it lah! wtf do i care man. sheesh.

so yeah. work is a bitch. *yawn*

next installment i will be bitching abt things other than work. stay tuned people! haha.

one for the discovery channel

i have discovered a brilliant way to stop people from sitting beside me on the bus. don't shower after a workout at the gym. ok so this is what happened. worked out, went to shower, bloody long queue. i thought, stuff it, i don't feel like changing back into heels and blowing my hair and doing my make up again just to go home. screw that! so i just wiped off (yeah, didn't even wash up), packed my bag and got the hell out of there. haha. brilliant ah. think i will do that from now on... hmm. unless i'm absolutely soaking in sweat ah.

went to the air force school for a talk today. did some shopping there. haha. i never thought i'd be that cliche about women being shopaholics. alas, i have joined the masses. and it feels damn good boi. retail therapy. it means what it says. i need new shoes! mmm... shoes... need work shoes and runnign shoes... think i could use a pair of inline skates (yeah, they r not called rollerblades ok. that's a brand) too...
