July 2007


me play piano

Picture speaks a thousand words….wat words does it speak for the picture I post? What if I can make that happen for real…probably then, I would post a video of my ’solo’ performance….*Dreaming….*

Well Dreams do come true, u know….

Well…welll….well….Yet another Monday morning…monday blues….watever it is you wanna call this Monday…got a belated birthday celebration later in the afternoon with the big boss and other July babies of the company….looking forward to get to know some colleagues whom I will probably never have to work with. *ahaks*

There is absolutely nothing to brag abt with regards to my weekend as I spent both days – eating, sleeping, watching movies on TV…more tv…more food..more sleep…

Being selfish has never been more right right now. Just thinking bout your self and not giving a tut about other ppls intrests and investments. Its easier, way less messier and u dont get morning sickness from the over thinking as well. Although it is not what is correct or fair, at this second it seems like such a sane and logical choice. I mean the world works in karma, u get back what u send to the world, but I guess at times u sud just not give. Which doesnt mean u shud just take, it just means u cease to care. Not such a bad option if u think about it. Coz at the end of the day, u choose to sort ur shit out by ur self. That in it self is time consuming. Imagine adding other ppls problems on ur full plate. Really makes u wanna puke. Strong words I know. But if I can give love, I also can give anger and heat as well. U cant expect me to deliver the sugarcoated stuff all the time. Thats just ridiculus. U might even end up a toeless diabetic, ask ucu, its no fun.

My His point?

I have to learn to balance stuff. Know when to stop caring coz the shit always hits the fan when ur the busiest. Know what is ur priorities. Focus on it and forget the rest. There is only one u. Pick and choose the battles. It wont be ur fault if u cant save the world. It doesnt need ur saving anyways, just do what u do best and whoever can keep up will..

This the time to be lazy..fra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…
Take your bread, dip in coffee..fra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…
Wait for time to leave office…..fra-la-la-la-la-laaaaaa-laaaaaaaa-laaaaaa-laaaaaaaaaaaa…

Does that show how bored I am right now? Ignore the fact that I’m flooded with work for a while ok.

The radio station keeps yapping since it begin transmission till now. But TV seems to be having some good news…ok ok…ONE good news.

The one and only cable channel company have dedicated one Malay Channel – SENSASI – effective August 6, 2007 (FREE TRIAL for the first month). Saw the article in this morning’s newspaper. I’m so looking forward to tat. Since its dedicated for only the Singaporean, I suppose they buy shows from overseas Malay language program or something along that line. Finally something else to watch besides SURIA. Suria have serve the community well with repeats shows so many time. And each time they have new drama/entertainment/talk shows….my God, the hype was all over. Then it died off…The cycle goes on. I bet every Malay speaking household is buzzing with expection of how SENSASI will fair as compared to the free-to-air channel. Its just consumer benefitting…of coz in the case of SENSASI…we need to pay after the FREE 1 MTH TRIAL. But if its worth it, i bet nobody will make a sound over the small fee. Is it small or big? Doesn’t really matter coz I ain’t paying for it…someone else is :)

So I guess that’s something to look forward to in the next week or so. For this weekend, which is just round the corner. I, for once, proudly announce to the small blog community that ever read this blog…that I am FREE OF ANY PLANS……no facial, no dinner, no event..nothing..i’m gonna sit tight at HOME…no spending ..no signing of my credit card….so whoever is reading this…don’t call and ask me out..coz i just declared to the INTERNET that I’m going to stay home and be close to Thomson …and probably spent quality time with Dino :) *one happy family* hahahah

Exactly 1 more hour to go before i leave….boss will be back tmr…and where is my confirmation letter… *sob sob*
 

What I’m doing NOW?

  1. Left ear plugged with earphone listen to the yapping of the DJ on a local malay radio station.
  2. Both hands typing this post and switching between windows to compose email to 1 techy fella.
  3. IDE open for coding the JAVA program.
  4. My brain is VERYYY occupied with loads other stuff.

I’ll just list down 4….I for the matter always claim that I’m MULTITASKING..but in actual fact, how much of multi task have I Productively complete….

That tot just crossed my mind and I decided to just detour from work and rant it…

Dee OUTZZ!!!

Was in Bintan last weekend…wet weather but still had a great time with JD. While I sat here I just realize my left ankle is hurting already. First blow to the ankle causing my last toe to bleed was at the pool at Nirwana Resort Garden. We were avoiding this ‘biawak’ (monitor lizard), tat is about the size of 1 arm of a full grown man. Second blow to the same left ankle was after shopping at Bintan’s Factory Outlet, rainy day yet again …i sort of miss a step. Tat gave JD a shocked! *Sorry JD* It is NOW, tat I felt the left ankle aching. Me falling down during holidays is nothing new. This isn’t as bad as the one in KL Planet Hollywood.

I just rant briefly, more to come with pics of me and JD while we’re at Bintan, Nirwana Resort Hotel.

Tataaaaaaaaaa for now.

IT IS REALLY TAT VERY SUPER SUCKY THAT I HAVE TO STRESS MY POINT BY PUTTING UP TWO ENTRIES OR MAYBE MORE LATER…

GANGS-OF-2NITE, PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THIS SUCKY DAY….! PLEASE MAKE MY DAY BETTER, CAN? PLS! PLS!

Because I took 1 and a half hour to do a simple thing like log-in to my workstation. I only managed to be typing this after multiple re-boots and logins…Sucky isn’t it? Earlier in the morning, my so-called plan was disrupted for some reason.

To make me feel even suck-i-er, the clock shows 11.11am which basically means lunch is like less than an hour away…and not much work has been done. The last thing I need now is to have clients/colleagues rush me to get things done. So I drop everything and decided to thrash it here. I made a choice to just get work done after lunch. That is provided I’m still productive after eating whatever that I will feast on later at Holland V.

Yesterday was a great day. The training was good. But if compacted, it can be done in half a day. Another good thing abt it was it ended REaallllly early. But I can’t go home coz I’ve got dinner appt with the ‘da-jie’ (big sisters) to celebrate the birthday of yours truly. So I roam around Tiong Bahru plaza from 4 till 7pm…3 hrs of nothing…just roaming….roaming…but my bro’s gf saw me. But by the time, she make another round to speak to me..I was gone from wherever it is she spotted me. Dinner was at Grillers. NOthing superb abt the food except the unique-ness of having your drinks served in JARS. It look like the recycled jars from the spaghettis sauce. Clam chowder there doesn’t taste like the clam chowder I knew…so pass on tat. The rest was ok. We chatted a while..then head to Coffee Bean for coffee *duh!* That’s when Jude gave a pleasant surprised with a slice of cake and lighted candle. If you think YY, blew your surprise away… Well, she didn’t….it was nicer seeing you outside Coffee Bean with too many things in your hand at the same time trying very hard to light the candle :) *muacks to my ‘da-jies’* It was indeeed a pleasant surprise! Thanks to YY’s hubby, Kenneth also for joining us. Remember, Mr Kenneth, be nice to us coz we gonna make it hard for you when you wanna pass our ‘gantry’ to fetch YY on your wedding day….*can’t wait*. And I’m suppose to dress up with gown on that day *wow, tats a challenge*

Time now is 11.21 am..i’m going to buzz my YM folks and MSN folks to just kill time while waiting for lunch….

To all the wonderful friends who shower me with good wishes when I turn 27 yesterday, I pray those good wishes will come true.  And of coz thanks to bro and mum for the presents *ka-ching! ka ching! $$$ * ahahahha…

Ok The birthday gal wanna sleep, gotta be up early tomorrow for Service Quality Training….

Finally after much hoo-haa, I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Thanks to Uncle Sidik for the complimentary corporate tickets. Mum, Eve and Linda was with me. Lido 2 is heck of a big theatre and too many people is also not that great coz the room was buzzing with noise of distracted kids….whispering and wat-nots. But still I try to focus which whispering short conversations with mum. I’m no different from the rest ya? I wasn’t expecting much, or rather, wasn’t expecting anything from Harry Potter, the 5th. So its just another movie for me. Its rather slow, I would say, but still if you’re a loyal fan, it would mean a lot more. Like Linda…she is one of those who even read the book….even placed a reservation for the book that I think is due for collection next weekend. She is planning a ’second serving’ sometime soon. That’s wat she said. Not for me.

Well, thanks the the VENTI Cappucino from Starbucks Lido….i’m wide awake right now. Its 22 mins past midnite. Beside Harry Potter. Another significant event on Sunday, was that it marked by 6th month anniversary with the bank. Wat does that mean? It means my probation period with this new company is done. Wat’s next? Well, its the confirmation letter to say the exact same thing, but this time OFFICIALLY in Black-and-White. Why? Because I get to claim my dental expenditure which currently amount to abt $100+ and the one I’m waiting for is the $300 specs or contact lenses. Well that is sure something new to look forward to. All that perks will only be claimable IF and ONLY IF ‘m a CONFIRMED STAFF. So now we wait…whether its confirmation letter or ‘get-out’ letter.

Other than that, my weekends are as usual, family gatherings if not for long, just a short visit to granma & granpa. Running errands. That sort of thing. Nothing new. Can’t wait to settle my credit card bills. I think I’ve over-spent this month. But still ok. I know I can cover the expenses. Need to control a lil bit on the finances though.

Ok…despite the fact that I can’t sleep due to caffeine intake just few hours ago. I have to try very hard to sleep coz tmr is a workday. And I got loads going on before I go outta office for couple of days. neh! Not on leave. Its for some seminar and in-house course. And of coz…I patiently await the day I turn 27. Ripe old age for marriage some may say. Well, not for me at least. Last I checked, my level of commitment just went 1 level beyond normal. And I can see it coming real fast, so financially, I need to do some re-shuffling to ensure the numbers are going up to support my new commitments. I hope I can control my spending. Just the needs, not the wants. With regards to losing weight, probably, fasting would help :) And kickboxing, swimming, why not Yoga or the weekly jogging my colleague organize. Ehmm….so many things….so little time….

Ok tmr is a brand new week before my Bintan getaway with dear pal this weekend.

Gd nite….Sleep tight….Sweet Dreams….

I am one human being in this world…that cannot idle. I just need to do stuff….things tat will challenge my brain.

This very moment, I’ve got none..that is challenging enough…and therefore I hate being in this state.

Help!!!
