im tired..


sigh.


i am so tired.


luckily tomorrow i have no plans. that would equate to a day of nua-ing on my bed with 法证先锋2. lovely thought :)






beginning of 8th week of PA, 15 days to end of it all. horrendously fast as usual.
feels like it's going to be a pretty slack week. i have a meeting on monday morning, and wednesday i'm taking the afternoon off for subject registration.. ok but then again, when am i ever not slack? :)
jieying's 21st birthday chalet last saturday! too lazy to elaborate. this collage would do.
my favourite picture!


we had a great time, staying over with mahjong/ktv/movies :)



after a long hiatus of not watching HK dramas, im back watching 法证先锋 which is pretty darn good actually. i just wish they would quit playing melodramatic music in the background whenever one of the main characters have an epiphany moment. super cringe-worthy -_- that aside, the plots are stretching longer and are more complicated, which is always welcomed.

and oh yeah. kevin cheng is SO HANDSOME! i shall watch The Seventh Day after this!

sometimes, some incidents just make you feel like a totally worthless piece of crap.

not here, nor there. nowhere.




if you want to kill me just do it fast. don't torture me.

sure we can co-exist.

but that doesn't mean i have to like you.

because fact is, i don't.

you just irritate and irk me. and now the ironic thing is that, you can't push all the blame to me like you used to do, because guess what, sport! it's always been your own fault. always have been, always will be. and it pisses me all the more because of how you've made ME seem like the instigator of nonexistent issues.

saturday with the vjco people @ dynasty.


hilarious as always. stupid william entertained with so many of his lameass jokes, but the one that really takes the cake was the new storyline he came up with for 溏心风暴. god, really made me laugh my head off.


dinner @ subway (our usual ritual!) followed by shopping (the boys are really patient! carrying our shopping bags and following us around. heh thanks boys!) and finally dessert (or rather, a 2nd dinner, really) at cartel.

waiting for lydia today was another round of ktv-ing with the ktv boys! but we called it a day after the session so i came home and concussed.


sometimes, i think that some people are only happy when they succeed in making me miserable.

i wish i have more days like yesterday and today.


yesterday i had early morning meeting @ the tai seng office = i can wake up 1h later, also = no need to go office to do work :D after the meeting, i, well, represented my department in this lunch with our network support people = free lunch at hotel. :D



it was a buffet lunch at a super atas Indian restaurant at pan pacific.




i'm sorry i didn't know how to appreciate Indian food better, but it was delicious enough. the tandoori chicken rocked! and one good thing about eating at a chi-chi place like this is that you get served by Bollywood-looking waiters. hahaha.



today i'm left all alone in the office, save for another girl. my colleagues have all gone out to a conference, while those not involved are either on leave or having training workshops. hahah i LOVE it. i have nothing to do because there are no new bookings for campaigns, and the work i've been working on is sitting in my colleague's account and she's not here to log in for me. :D so today i will fulfil my promise to myself : LEAVING AT 530. :)

and since working in the telecomm industry (despite being under the media side), i've fully realised the extent of how much Singaporeans like to complain about nothing. IT IS FREAKING ANNOYING AND MAKES ME WANT TO SLAP ALL OF THEM. seriously, you will NOT understand what it feels like to be at the receiving end of all these irate and ridiculous complaints until you've been working in customer service. sure i'm not working in CS right now, but i've (sorta) been when working in DBS, and even now, complaints are forwarded to me so i can chuck all these idiots into the blacklist.

GET A COUPLE OF ADVERTISING SMSES WILL KILL YOU IS IT? you're not being charged, and if you're not interested just delete the bloody thing lar! HELLO IS THE FACT THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED TWO, TWO, OF THESE SMSES THAT YOU'RE SO DISTRAUGHT/IT HAS TAKEN UP SO MUCH OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME DELETING THEM, THAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE NEED TO CALL INTO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE, AND THEN STILL SAY YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN TO CASE/IDA YADA YADA? jeez i see where really your time is being channeled to. SINGAPOREANS SHOULD JUST GO GET A LIFE. COMPLAINING ABOUT MINDLESS THINGS IS JUST GOING TO CAUSE YOU MORE GRIEF AND MAKE YOU DIE YOUNGER.

sorry i'm done ranting. stupid spoiled singaporeans.

food for thought:

An emotional memory file is a neurological/brain activity. The brain makes, organizes, sorts, and controls its files. Remember, the file contains two parts, information and emotion

We have seen cases where patients have discussed a horrible experience from 15 to 20 years ago stating, “I though I got over it, I guess I didn’t!” Truthfully, they have gotten over that experience — but the file is still powerful. Depressed individuals suffer from the “garbage truck”, that truck-load of horrible files that prompt them to think about childhood trauma/abuse, previous relationships and rejections, and any time they have failed within recollection. Again, the file makes us relive the emotions at that time. Even 20 years beyond the present, if we bring out a horrible file, we will feel horrible.


anywhooooo. the weekend was a busy busy one. in fact the whole of last week was just madness because i was out from wednesday onwards.
wednesday i watched SATC with ah ber.
thursday was girls' night out @ timbre (whose service sucks, but food rocks.)
friday night with half of the MSes at La Viva. i also fully appreciated the meaning of NUA-ing. boy, can i nua. even outside.
saturday evening was dinner with the vjco com peeps at First Thai @ the bugis area, which can i just say, serves the BEST thai food ever. have you ever had food that made you happy just eating it? well this is a great example. drinks (if you call whiskey in a plastic cup, drinks) @ timbre. i'm really too lazy to elaborate what happened but i will just say that bloody timbre cheated us of our 17 bucks. (WHERE GOT SUCH THING AS BUY TICKETS TO A ROCK EVENT AND NOT BE GURANTEED A SEAT? THIS REEKS OF TRYING-TO-FILL-THE-PLACE-NESS) well safe to say i wont be back to that damn place for any event, whatsoever.

sorry jit chua. but the photos are already very small :D

sunday afternoon we had our wii session @ jiayin's house (HOUSE OF THE DEAD ROCKS. i'm starting to think i have a nasty sadistic love for shooting zombies) followed by a makeup birthday dinner (for those people who were either in japan or at angela zhang's concert -.- haha) at Big O, and finally ending the day (and looong week) with a late movie at Vivo.


when mj was on the phone, i realised that there was something sticking out(on) from jit's shirt that didn't quite look in place.

yeah. his friend went to stick something on his shirt and he didn't notice AT ALL. HAHAHAHHA. me and xin mei were laughing like mad.





it's midweek!
time @ work is passing by alot faster now that i have quite a lot of stuff to do. by the end of this week 1/2 of my internship would be completed! I CANNOT WAIT FOR YUEXIN'S BIRTHDAY (because by then means i'd have one week of internship left. heehee)

and i'm inspired by yuexin's sudden urge to lead a healthy lifestlye, hence i'm going to go sleep by 1230 :)

omg my colleague nearly just gave me a heart attack when he called me to tell me that there was some problem with the campaign that i had just set up yesterday (sms-es not being delivered to customer and all) and told me to check. okay can i just say this system is the most friggin' annoying thing in the world. it's inflexible like hell so sometimes i have to find means and ways to permutate the figures and it so does not help when the clients keep changing their requirements over and over again. DOES 10 WORKING DAYS NOTICE NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?!


anyway turns out that the system was just slow to reflect the actual figures. -_- so all was well. but gosh, i dont want to be disturbed by work on a weekend! I AM JUST AN INTERN! i cannot imagine what it would be like if i'm an actual perm staff.





alright anyway, birthday update!
thanks to lyd, i've got the function room at her lovely condo!
pictures pictures!

my oldest friend! one of the main problems of having a friend that goes way back to primary school days may very well mean that they have ammo against you in the form of unglam, fugly pld pictures, but more on that later. hahaha.

wil and his bombastic pink shirt haha.

my favourite 2j people! :D

dunmanians! (i tell you it's really hard to find group names lar. we overlap like nobody's business. hahaha)

vjco!
da ge and da sao!

yuexin and cousin! haha alright i should really stop calling him that. yuexin and dingzhi!

erm.. nbs and belinda! :P

my favourite year one project mates! :D (OB, marketing, IT, FM!

shopping, bitching, gossiping kaki :)

all the musical people, y'all. :)

chua jit! alright, appreciate you coming straight after your plane landed lah!

chua jit wants to act like his head is very small.

and then it was the cake-cutting. i got the exact same cake as seah for her birthday party because well, it's so darn pretty and cheap. heh.

yes yes more on the collage later. hahaha.
s22! :)
nbs yay!
and finally my dearest MSes! (or what's left of it that day. hahaha)
and on to even more interesting things.. presents!
well actually, since i've pretty much dictated that i want vouchers for presents...
gosh i just LOVE vouchers!

one of the three presents that were NOT vouchers. lovely mascara set from my da ge and da sao! i LOVE IT! lancome mascara is really a cut above the rest. (well considering that all my mascaras were cheapo brands. haha)
super pretty clutch from Chomel from vic and sangi!
and the 3rd non-voucher present was a cute little photo album from Joseph, where he pasted two of his artistic photos and wrote a page of his ramblings. hahahaha. i don't know how to take a photo of it so yeah, no photos. but it was a thoughtful gift! :) thanks jo!

and then there were all the vouchers
$50 C&K voucher from the nbs boys!
$60 capitaland vouchers from my nbs girls and belinda!
$120 worth of Robinsons vouchers from seah lyd william jj zicheng and pengyan!
$200 worth of isetan vouchers from my 2j peeps and jiamin + soonkiat!
$100 topshop vouchers from my s22 lovelies!
$30 Taka vouchers + a golden turtle charm from dingzhi! hahahah SO SMART. he knows my lifelong dream regarding the golden turtle! ;)
and finally the hairstraightener from my MSes
and of course there is the highlight of the day...
hahahahha. i call it, the Collage of Bad Memories of Chui-ness. alright, but i love it! it just makes me smile everyday! and they were so smart to bring it out just before i cut the cake, resulting in a huge commotion where i unsuccessfully tried to hide it frome everyone else, while they happily took a video of it. THANKS STILL. I LOVE IT :D
definitely the best birthday i've ever had. i had all the people i heart with me right there and then, what else could i ask for? :)
