[my phone won't keep quiet]

it's now about 730pm and my office has already called me twice. it seems they can't get enough of me, because my phone's always ringing. even when i was on MC the other day, i got a call almost every hour.. which is why i decided to just go back to the office the next day even though i had another day of MC that i could have used. it's really just no use if i can't get any rest anyway, and i have to answer the phone every hour.

what topped the cake was my colleague calling me on my mobile - while i was still in the office!
*shakes head* i wonder if my phone will ever be quiet..

[anti old folk]
*warning, lots of expletives*

i don't like old people. actually that's wrong. i just don't like one.
my fucking idiot of a grandmother.

i just found the bathroom flooded with an inch of water, the walls are wet, all the towels are soaked, the ceiling and light fixtures are wet. because she wanted to take a shower earlier this afternoon, but the water mains had been shut off for maintenance. now usually the tap only requires about two turns for enough water to shower. but she had turned them all the way, and that's like 5 - 6 turns. so obviously if the water's not coming out by then, it's not coming out at all.
and most socially responsible people turn the taps OFF when they realise there's no water coming.
why? SO YOU DON'T FLOOD THE FUCKING BATHROOM!

and i can't believe the water was so loud, but she slept through the whole thing. not a stir at all.
i mean, really. it's 6pm. why are you taking a nap at 6pm?!
and what if i hadn't been at home?
i'm home on MC today, because of a bad stomach again. and if i hadn't been home, the bathroom might have been even more fucking flooded.

what's wrong with doing little things to make sure the house runs smoothly?
my mom says this isn't even the first time it's happened. the last time she tried to turn the taps so hard it got jammed. so my mom had to stand there in the water trying to unjam it to turn it off.

and what does my grandmother say 'i don't know what the problem is. it's dripping.'
oh gee, you fucking think so? the ceiling's wet that's why!
'it's not me, i took my shower this morning' (mind you the water's been off since 10am, and she never showers in the morning.)

WHY can't she just think of others before herself?
WHY can't she admit when she's done something wrong? (most common phrase heard from her - 'i never. not i do one.' and that's usually before we can even ask anything.)
WHY can't her daughter with the four extra rooms take her instead? so my sister and i can finally have our rooms back!
WHY can't i have one of those nice grandmas instead?

bah. and people wonder why i don't like her!

[my day]

i woke up this morning feeling slightly grumpy because i felt so tired.. and i knew that i couldn't sleep in at all because i had a phone interview to do at 920am in the morning in the office. so i rushed around trying to get ready and then realised that i had a sandwich in my bag for breakfast.. cutie pie boy had left it there when i had gone to get washed up and ready for work..
this time it was definitely a more edible size, compared to mother-of-all foccacia sandwich i had a few weeks back.. thank you babe :)

and i even managed to get to the gym today, and i jogged. I JOGGED! i haven't jogged in YEARS, and it feels pretty good!
i think it's something i might keep doing.. esp in my bid to get fight!
*heeyah!*

[the island of the gods]

i can see why people fall in love with bali, it's an absolutely beautiful place with clear blue skies and perfect beaches. although i'm not the sort that likes people to be touting their stuff when i'm trying to get a tan. really, i don't need braided hair, i don't want a massage or a manicure or a pedicure or a boat or anything else. i just want to relax!
so aside from people always trying to sell me things, i really loved bali. it was a great chance for me to get to know the CLEO girls a little better too, since the only times we usually talk are just when we're passing each other in the office. and i have to admit, we really had a lot of fun! every night we'd plan our schedule for the next day which pretty much just consisted of shopping, eating and swimming.

the wedding was beautiful too! it was set on a cliffside at sunset, and i wanted to just keep crying everytime i saw the bride. i'm such a weeper. i can't help but cry at weddings because they're so beautiful! and charmaine looked absolutely radiant. i think she chose the perfect place to get married and i'm glad she asked me to be a part of it.

ahh, if only i was back in bali again.

[the waiting game]

i went to see a screening of the terminal today, and i thought it was quite a cute movie! there were bits that were slightly slow, but there were also lots of rather funny moments.
and it's true what they say in the movie, 'you're always waiting for something.'

and that got me thinking.. i AM waiting.
i'm always waiting!
if it's not for people to show up for their appointments, i'm waiting for things to happen, for decisions to be made, for action to be taken.

why am i wasting so much of my life just waiting? and what makes it worse is when i'm waiting for other people.

when i first started working, i told myself that no matter what, i'd stay in the job for two years. so i waited for the time to come. and it came, and it went. and i'm still there. except now i'm not sure what i'm waiting for. if there's a defintely goal in sight, then it makes the waiting easier. but when you're just sitting around and waiting, not quite sure what for, that makes it feel so long and tiring.

what am i waiting for?
i feel like i'm stuck in a place where nothing's changing. where everything's the same as it has been, and i don't want to wait around if everything's going to be the same.
i want to move on and move forward with life because there's no point if i stagnate.

but how long do you wait for these changes to happen?

[the start of the week]

not a bad start i'd say. i slept really early last night, but because of a slightly overactive army truck parked next to me in bed (ahem) i didn't get the best of sleep. but no matter, the truck made up with a sweet little note tucked into my handbag and a huge big sandwich waiting in the fridge to be eaten by me for breakfast in the morning (thanks babe! )

the morning flew past pretty quickly, and before i knew it, it was time to meet gabe for lunch! he's off to perth to visit the wifey for a while, and it's been too long since we met up. so we sat and talked, and made fun of everything (clown pants.. c'mon! how can anyone serve in clown pants?) and before i knew it, i was stuffed to the gills with fish and chips, and (according to gabe) a slightly too cinnamoned apple pie.

back to the office i headed where i cleared up my desk, sent out emails and got things done. ahh, efficiency am i! then i realised it was only 4pm and the time seemed to be craaaawling by. so i opened more mail, sorted more things and then arranged with my mom to do a bit of power walking when i got home. i needed to get my things from boy's place, so instead of being lazy and taking the car, we strapped on our sneakers and powerwalked our way there.

so i've done two days of exercise and feeling pretty good about it! i even walked back with an ibook strapped to my back, and that made it a little harder. i'm actually looking forward to my next swim, and hopefully that'll happen soon!
i'll be tanned, fit AND trim!
whoa!

[trim and fit]

my resolution to get fit is starting to take shape (haha). i bought some sneakers and a resistance band today, so i can do exercises at home, and go out for power walks. i haven't quite worked up enough motivation to start running yet. i think it's mainly because i'd convinced myself over the years that it'd be impossible for me to run (i was always afraid that i'd fall forwards..)

i'm going to start doing yoga three times a week, and doing my resistance bands twice a week, with walking and cycling in between when i came.
i hope i'm not being overambitious, but i gotta start somewhere i suppose!

[it's been a hard day's work]

it's another monday, another week to get through. it's not that bad really, because i'm sitting in the office updating my blog! work's been much much better (mainly because my big project has finally gone finished) so i can relax a little more.

over the weekend i had a blast at the hen's night, and then found myself with a slight allergy to something or other. i still haven't figured out what it is, but at least it doesn't seem to be as itchy now. what problematic skin i have, especially since i love wearing lots of accessories. i've had to forgo all of them today so my skin doesn't get any more irritated, and it feels a bit funny!

mmmm. having a lazy moment at work, just watching the clock until it hits 6pm.

[mid-week reports]

it seems like one of those weeks where i can't tell what day it is anymore. not that it's been overly busy, or there's nothing for me to do. it just seems like the days are blending into one another, and i really can't tell when one starts and the other ends. hmm i wonder if that's a sign of senility, because i'm also starting to forget alot of things!!

the dust is slowly settling at work, so things are slowly getting better. i'm quite looking forward to this weekend and there's also a friend's hen's night on friday which is being organised by the CLEO girls, so i can't imagine how wild that's going to be.

i've also been hopelessly addicted to the olympics, and i love watching the swimming and synchronised diving! i just wish that i wasn't missing so much of it because i'm at work. *grumbles*

anyway, i'm watching stepford wives tomorrow, so i won't complain!

[rollercoaster ride]

i've had such a rollercoaster of a week, i'm quite sure that i'm ready to get off the ride for a bit of a rest! and i realise i haven't even written about my trip up to JB. and by the time i get round to it, it'll probably be a bit redundant.
so here's the short version of it:
saturday morning - get packed and ready to go. takes us 1 1/2 hours to cross the causeway. we eat lots of chips in the car and make fun of each other
saturday afternoon - finally get checked into the hotel and go off for lunch with the cousins, the groom and bride. we eat lots of yong tau foo and then head back to the hotel
saturday later afternoon - we wait for more cousins to arrive and then head off to city square and holiday plaza to buy stuff. i score no dvds, but a ralph lauren polo shirt (with the label cut off so it's a RA REN shirt now) and an Abercrombie racerback top.
saturday night - we drive and drive and drive to a seafood place on the western coast of JB. eat alot and almost burst. boy is regulated to eating chicken, tofu and fried noodles because of allergy to shellfish. we pity him but eat them all anyway.
sunday morning - wake up and get changed for the wedding lunch.
sunday afternoon - sit at reception table and get everyone to sign the book. i am becoming professional receptionist!
sunday slightly later afternoon - eat and eat and eat. smile and take lots of pictures
sunday late afternoon - we all get changed out of fancy dresses and into our slack gear and head out for more shopping. i get a windows 98 CD (don't ask) for a friend, and also an american eagle outfitters skirt.
sunday night - 18 of us go for dinner (lots of aunties, uncles and cousins). chinese zhi cha dinner that has lots and lots of good food. we eat and eat and eat.
sunday later that night - we spend 45 minutes stuck on a normally clear causeway on the malaysian side, and take only 10 minutes on the singapore side (including time for one of the cousins to fill in departure form).

and that is my trip up the causeway. haven't gotten the pictures from boy yet, so when that happens i'll put them up for all to see.

now work.
lots of problems, boss not happy with what i'm doing, and i feel like no matter what i say or do she won't be happy anyway. i'm just glad that tomorrow is friday and i have a weekend to rest. am going for drinks on saturday, so i can get drunk and be merry!

[drinks, food and making merry]

there are some weekends that you have, where you feel like you'd done so much. but still it doesn't feel like you've had enough fun!

it all started on friday, after a really hectic day of running around getting things organised for work (on the day i was supposed to be on leave too!) but i felt very fulfilled, and quite happy that things were going fairly well. so off i ran to meet sharon for dinner before her slightly belated birthday drinks. we sat at the bar counter of prego's and were well entertained by the big-sized italian manager, who imparted some very wise words to us.
"the one thing i've learnt, is never to argue with a woman. you'll never win!"

haha! so we sat and talked and caught up with each other.
i realise that with my friends i sometimes don't see them for a while, we sit down and just chat and chat for hours catching up with each other, and then it'll be a while before we hear from each other again. i'm just glad though, that i have friends that i can do that with. that even though we don't get the chance to meet up with each other very much, when we do we don't just sit there in silence looking at each other and trying to make conversation.. but i digress. because next up we had drinks!

new asia bar has such a wonderful view, and it's simply spectacular! (okay, i'm sure that's a pretty redundant statment. it's the 72th floor - the view SHOULD be good!). in the end we had a bottle of white wine, a bottle of pink champagne, and once chad, lorraine, juliana, and some of sharon's other friends got there, we also had jugs of long island tea, vodka lime and goodness knows what else! needless to say, it's been a long time since i woke up with a hangover.. thank goodness i had boy to take care of me!

the next day when i finally made it out of bed, we headed down to clementi central to buy some food for the steamboat party we were going to have that night. it's been ages since i had steamboat! and i'm glad we managed to get everyone together for it.. we were so inspired by ourselves, that we've decided to have a korean barbeque night in a few weeks time. yummm..

so today i laid in bed alot, and played some xbox. unfortunately i think i'm more of a geek than i realise, and i love playing these xbox games. i'm not quite into PC games because it doesn't seem the same playing without a controller.
oh dear, i'm not a geek! i swear, i'm not a geek!

and before i finish, yes i did take pictures of the whole weekend. i've just left the digicam at boy's house.
*sheepish*
so they'll be up in a jiffy!

here's where you can find the pictures!

[driving miss google]

my sister's nickname on msn is miss google. so her boyfriend (and perhaps future husband *CROSS FINGERS*) has changed his nick to i love google!
the other day, someone had a little accident with his car. it's nothing bad but his licence plates broke, so he had to get new ones.. and if you look closely enough, at the bottom of the plates, he'd gotten them to put there 'driving miss google'

altogether now...

[so fetch]

this morning while i was at work, i slipped into one of those slightly grumpy and annoyed moods. but i couldn't really understand why, because there wasn't anything specific that i was grumpy or annoyed about. it could have something to do with the fact that i was doing costings at the same time. i'm really not a number person at all, and trying to get all the facts and figures together gives me a real big headache sometimes. the phone kept ringing too, which probably didn't help any.

later on in the evening though, i went to an event that was organised by janice and her company today, and while i was there, gary won a nokia 7610!! i'm amazed because i've never known anyone that's won something as nice as that. plus when he first sat down he said 'i wouldn't mind having this phone'
some people have all the luck!

[rambling bits]

there's really a lot i want to write, but my brain seems to have shut down temporarily, so i'm just going to keep rambling on.

i've had a pretty good day, work treated me fairly well. i actually managed to sit down and get lots of things done, so at this point in time i feel like i'm on top of things and they aren't going to overwhelm me. i sometimes have the habit of getting prematurely overwhelmed because i'm never sure that i can handle all the things that are given to me. slowly but surely, one day i'll realise that i have to believe in myself more. that i have to tell myself i can do it! and not doom myself to failure before i can even start.

it's not that bad, really. i've got a job that i love, working for a magazine that i adore. i just have to remind myself that even though i'm not earning loads of money for it, at least i don't dread the thought of going to work every morning - at least not how i used to dread the thought of going to school every morning. that used to make me physically ill.

it's friday, and i'm glad. i could use a bit of a break. i'll probably end up doing the same things i do each weekend, but it's nice to have a bit of a rest. on monday i've got another doctor's appointment at NUH (fingers crossed).

i had some lovely moments coming back from work today. i wish i could have captured them and stored it away for safe-keeping.
"I just had a flash. It's a few years down the line, and I'm picking you up after work!"
mm.. i could get used to that.

sometimes i just wish that someone would tell me what my direction in life should be, so i can start heading towards that way. i'm beginning to like alcohol more than food. probably not a good thing.

[strange encounters of the third kind]

i had to make my way down to genting lane this morning for a photoshoot that i was helping CLEO with. and as i got there and pressed the button for the lift, a creepy old man came along and got into the lift with me. he was a little odd, and kept staring at me. made me feel a little uneasy, but i shrugged it off. and as i was messaging my colleague, he came over to look at my phone and mumbled something. i ignored him, because really, it's a bit rude to try to take a look at someone's phone when they're using it at the same time. and much to my horror i realised he was getting out at the same floor as me. so i looked around to try and find the unit i was supposed to go, and made my way. imagine my reaction when i realised that the creepy old man was following me into the photographer's studio! now i didn't want to say anything in case he worked there, and i was being rude. by then one of my colleagues had arrived, and she sat down to talk to me while creepy old man tried to listen in on our conversation.
it was only a long time later when the photographer had arrived and creepy old man tried to say that he was part of our photoshoot (and we vehemently said he wasn't) that they realised he didn't belong there.
apparently it's never happened before, so i was the lucky first! gina (the art director of CLEO) says we're just magnets for psychos.
i am never going back there again!!

and you'd think that'd be enough for one day. but wait, no! there's more!

while i'm sitting down to have my nails done for the shoot, the manicurist started talking to one of her colleages over me (i was sitting in between them) and they were saying how i looked a bit japanese, that my features were quite nice because i'm fair and my eyes are a nice shape. and then the manicurist says 'they're very nice. just a bit bui.'
HELLO? i'm sitting RIGHT THERE! it's not as if i'm invisible or anything. i know i'm not the skinniest person (and truthfully neither is she) but really, do you have to tell someone that they're quite good looking, just a bit FAT?
i really couldn't believe my ears!
just how many people like that are there out there??

although on a good note, chad's got an interview next week! and i got a surprise phone call about some opportunities for the future...

[black faces not welcome]

i had a photoshoot today for our beauty pages that usually consists of 3 different shots (and 3 different looks) and takes about 4 hours to do. today, we took TWICE the amount of that time. EIGHT hours. for THREE shots! i'm really not impressed at all. we can finish a fashion shoot that consists of seven different shots in 5 hours. and these three shots took eight hours. and we can pinpoint it down to the one factor that made us take that long.

the girl doing the hair.

first she showed up with a black face and a bad attitude, which only seemed to get blacker and more intolerable as the night wore on. she never smiled, never said anything and didn't even seem to want to be there in the first place. now i have to mention that when we get someone to do the hair for our beauty shoots, we usually ask one of the salons (there's only one we ask from, but i'm not going to mention names) and they send someone down to do it for us. it's great publicity for them, plus we've established a pretty good relationship with them over the years. this is the first time they've sent someone who did a really substandard job.

she seemed to only want to do the bare minimum to get by, and the model's hair just did not look like there was any life to it. i don't know if she's inexperienced or what, but if you know you're not an expert, then at least take the time to learn and try. all this girl did was kept looking at her watch and talking on the phone. now really, how are you going to get any work done if you're clock watching, and your hand is busy holding the phone? it took her almost an hour to curl the model's hair, and that's only the parts nearest to her face (we told her not to bother with the rest of it. it would have just taken way too long).

ineptitude at its worst.
really not impressed.

when we finally wrapped the shoot at 10pm, she picked up her stuff and stalked off. not even a mention that she was going, or 'thanks everyone, bye!'. she literally slammed all her things into her bags and took off. black face, an attitude and no manners. things are not looking good for her. i think she's going to get a real talking to at work tomorrow, because no one's going to put up with this sort of thing.

man i'm bushed. i've still got another shoot tomorrow, but thank goodness i don't have to do much except sit there.
time for bed. at least no black faces in my dreams!

ahhh the simple pleasures of life. having a wonderfully nice long hot shower and not having to bend over to wash your hair. today, exactly three months ago, i went for my surgery. and since then i havent' had a proper shower until today.
i didn't even realise how much i missed having a shower, and i don't think my mom's ever seen anyone so excited to have a shower before in her life!

20 Questions to a Better Personality

Wackiness: 56/100
Rationality: 50/100
Constructiveness: 56/100
Leadership: 50/100


You are a WECF--Wacky Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a candle burning at both ends. You work until you drop, and you play until you can stand to work again. You have so much enthusiasm that you can find it hard to control on your own, and you appreciate the guidance that channels your energy and lets you be your best.

In a relationship, you require lots of attention and support. You often over-contribute and end up feeling depleted and cheated. You may benefit from more time alone than you grant yourself.

Your driving force is the emotional support of others--especially affection. You can run on empty for miles if you have positive energy behind you. Without it--as it occasionally must run dry--you are depressive, listless, and difficult to motivate.

You need a lot of affection. Get it any way you can, but never at the cost of your self-respect or well-being.

WOW! i'm not sure what to say! I think this is really quite accurate!!

[my little furball]

when i got home today, pebbles was so excited to see me! i think she'd been alone at home most of the day (except for my grandma) but if i was stuck at home alone with my grandma, i'd just be happy to see ANYONE really.

she jumped around and followed me into my room, kept rubbing her head in my legs and i scratched and i tickled and i scratched somemore. she kept following me around the house so i started wrestling with her. i think she really must have been quite lonely because she enjoyed it so much! then i gave her a huge big hug until i could hear her faintly growling. i think i might have hugged alittle too tightly! hehehe

now my shirt's all covered with green fluff from my pashmina and dog fur from pebbles. i wonder if i took it to sell, if anyone would think it was designed that way and buy it? haha!

she's already about 12 years old, and her body's starting to tire out. we live on the 4th floor of a walk-up apartment, so it's getting harder and harder for her to get up the stairs after a walk. most of the time we just carry her up the stairs now.

it's kinda cute though, her muzzle's starting to get whiter and whiter, even though her fur's still pretty black. but if you looked at her, you'd think she was probably only about two years old. she's got one of those young faces!

my little furball.

aren't i the cutest thing you've seen?

[the day of reckoning]

let's just go through my day bit by bit, shall we?

i woke up late this morning because i had an appointment with my doctor at NUH, and didn't have to be there until 1130. my mom and i decide that it might be worthwhile to go a bit earlier, just in case he's a bit freer and can see us before our appointment time (of course you'd think we'd learn by now - doctors are never free enough to move appointments up!). so i'm awake about 830, just lounging around and getting ready really slowy. my stomach is starting to hurt a bit, so i think maybe it's just because i'm hungry.

by the time i get changed, have a bit of brunch and head off to NUH at about 1045, my stomach is really painful and i realise i've had another gastric attack. we get to NUH and due to a mix-up, we realise i'm not supposed to be there until next week. sigh. luckily at this time i've stuffed my face with some antacids, but my stomach is still really hurting alot.

on the way to drop me off at the train station so i could go to work, my mom asks if i want to see our family doctor since i don't look like i'm getting any better. so off we go, and he tells me 'yes, it's gastric' and gives me some medicine. i get an MC for the day, and we head on home. i try to get hold of the office because i'm meant to have my appraisal at work today at 1pm. i don't think it'd be very nice if i just don't show up and tell them i'm on MC. on the way home however, all the pain in my stomach stops! i think the antacids i'd been stuffing my face with have kicked in, so i decide heading to work is probably a good idea. i don't want my boss thinking that i'm trying to avoid doing my appraisal.

and really, the appraisal goes pretty smoothly. that's the thing i like about my editor-in-chief. she's very objective and she'll always listen to what you have to say. so we sit down and we talk through the form that i've filled out about what i like about my job, what i don't like, what i think i need help with, and which areas i think can be improved. she tells me the thing she appreciates me doing, and what i can get better at, and i tell her the problems i have in being efficient with my job. it's all good, so i'm happy.

(jann is going to kill me but i didn't get a promotion)
it does, however, look like it's very possible that it will happen, but i've got to buck up on a few things first to prove to them i can handle it. i think that's fair enough though, and i'm just happy with the knowledge that my bosses are going to help me achieve the position and goal that i want. the last time we did an appraisal, i'd only been with the company for six months, so at that time i still didn't have a vision or an idea of what i really wanted to do. but two years down the line, i know what i want to do, and now i know what i have to do to get it!

(good news jann, i did get a raise!)
it's a whopping $45 more.
hahaha! hey, i'm not in it for the money. i'm just really glad i'm working towards a fixed position now, and i'm going to show them that i want it bad enough.
who knows, by the end of the year you could be looking at the Beauty and Lifestyle Writer for The Singapore Women's Weekly :)
and then maybe they'll give me more than $45 more. $$!

[sick to my stomach]

i am thoroughly disgusted, appalled and dismayed. i walked into the kitchen just now to get a drink and found my grandmother wiping a tray with a rag. a very very black dirty rag. the same rag that we'd be using to clean the floor, and the computer and everything else that had dust and dirt on it. the tray she was wiping was covered in dog hair, and she didn't even think anything was wrong.

me: 'why are you using that rag to wipe the tray? it's so dirty!'
her: 'i was trying to get the oil off the tray' (there's no oil on it by the way)
me: *grabbing the tray and using a proper sponge with soap* 'we just used that rag to clean the floor!'
her: 'how i know?'
me: 'it's BLACK. it's completely BLACK and so dirty. how can you use it to wipe the dishes?'
her: *throws it in the sink*
me: 'DON'T PUT IT IN THE SINK! it's DIRTY!!'
her: *walks off*
me: *grossed out to no end*

i washed that tray within an inch of its life, then i looked at the dishes that were on the rack drying and decided they all needed a clean too. i cannot believe that she couldn't tell the rag was dirty, because it's black beyond belief. it's no wonder our family always has stomach problems all the time. i don't believe that someone should have to wash a dish everytime they want to use it. esp not in their own home.

argh! i just feel so sick to my stomach. how can someone NOT have enough common sense to see if something's dirty or not? it's just really really disgusting. and trust me, we've had rags lying around before that she's wiped her mouth with. we all just stand around with our jaws on the floor. i think her appalling habits are turning me into an obsessive compulsive cleaner.

[these feet are made for walking]

well, not really. they've been aching and in pain since i had to wear my lovely vnc shoes. really, the shoes aren't that bad, just that the soles are really hard and i had to walk more than i anticipated. but i guess it's giving my leg muscles a good workout, and there's no way i'm giving up wearing heels. i'm just going to take a hiatus from it for now, till they can recover!

i've been pretty busy at work running around and trying to finish all my articles while getting the stuff for the beauty shoot together. it's not as easy as it sounds because there's alot of trawling around town looking for the right things. i love the challenge of it though, and i'm glad that i've been given the chance to do it. today i got my first whiff of a chance at a promotion. it was just a tiny whiff, but it gave me alot of hope because i was getting to the point where i was about to give up on my job already. i think it was just going through that period where i felt everything was just the same - i was doing things by routine and not really using my brain anymore. and there's only so much of that you can take until you just start to feel so restless.

i don't want to hope for too much but i'll be keeping my fingers crossed for now!

[funny quote of the day]

from meredith in perth (you're a twice published person now!)

"Last year I was buying my first corporate suit, and one of the tops was kind of like a corset and had eye hook things that did up at the front. Anyway, the sales woman all of a sudden reached in and re-arranged my boobs. Talk about freaked out. My boyfriend at the time wished he could have been there. I did mention she was about 150 kilos with a really thick Eastern European accent. That's pretty much why I freaked out. Big butch lesbian mumma. All the women prison movies I have ever seen played through my mind. And I thought, "I'm too young to be anybody's bitch!!"

However, having said that, the top was to die for so I bought it. And my boobs did look better after she re-arranged them. Damn it! I have no idea what the point to that story was, but I just entertained myself re-reading it so go with it."

i can't sleep. i have to wake up in 1 1/2 hours for work! i'm going to be so stoned today. plus it's the day where i have four appointments and tons of things to run around and do!
i hope i'm not going through another bout of insomnia. i've got appraisals coming up next week so it'd be horrible if i fell asleep during it!

okay i'm going to attempt to get back to bed. the good thing about not being able to sleep is that i finally caught up with all my blog reading!

[the weekend]

friday nights is great for having dinner and drinks with friends, and that's exactly what i did! after a slightly horror day of having to deal with an extremely difficult client - who at the end of it even said 'i really must compliment you, you know deborah. you're really very patient.' what she didn't see was me trying to stab myself with a letter opener at the same time - it was time to enjoy some great company with friends. dinner wasn't all that great, because i thought it was a sakae sushi that i'd suggested we go to, but it turned out to be sushi tei! i normally don't mind, except that it wasn't quite as good as the normal sushi teis that we go to. but drinks at paulaner made up for that. buddies and beer! what more could you ask for?





first you have lots of sushi..



then you have lots of drinks

saturday chad and i decided to check out the dreamcars autoshow, which unfortunately, wasn't as great as i thought it'd be. i did take some photos anyway. lucky for us at the same time there was a safe superstore and john little's warehouse sale going on, so i managed to get a fan for my room and lots of things at john little's!

later that night chad and my mom whipped up steak and potatos (yummo) before we headed out to troy (chad and i, that is. my mom doesn't really like going to the movies). and i have to admit i kind of enjoyed it! eric bana definitely deserves to have an oscar nomination for it.

today i've just spent at home cleaning up my room and getting things into order again. ooh, my mom's just given me a fruit smoothie!

[shoe sin]

it's a good thing and a bad thing when leanne comes to the office. it's a good thing because we have alot of fun sitting around and talking about nonsense. most of all it's good because we go and have lunch together, and usually we end it off with some 25cent mcdonald's ice cream cones!

it's a bad thing when leanne comes to the office because that means that we sometimes go shopping and i end up buying more shoes. today we went to vnc and i tried on so many shoes! in the end i bought two pairs. oh the terror of it! i've already got so many pairs of shoes, but i love them all. okay maybe not all, there are some i regret buying because they've ended up trying to strangle my toes, or i got a bit ambitious and bought heels that were too high and end up giving me a cramp 5 minutes after i've put them on.

i am one of those women who love shoes. or really i'm one who loves accessories. earrings, bracelets, necklaces, handbags.. you name it, and i've got them all. i just prefer dressing up my outfits that way, instead of wearing really flashy clothes. it just makes things more fun!

tomorrow though, i think i'll wear my flat shoes. my knees are starting to hurt because i've been wearing heels the last few days. the fact that i had to walk down 18 flights of stairs today in my heels because of a fire safety inspection doesn't help alot. i spent so much energy trying to concentrate on the stairs to make sure i didn't trip. i think i've got stair dyslexia. i'll be going up or down some stairs, and i'll see the step there, but for some reason it won't register in my mind, so for a split second my brain will think 'you're going to trip! there's no step there!!' and i'll trip pre-emptively, because i think i'm going to. stair stair dyslexia, i swear!

[my funny friend]

i've been emailing one of my dearest friends from high school, and it's great because we'd actually lost touch for a long time and only reconnected recently.

she's so funny, and how can you not have a smile on your face after reading something like this?

'I hope you got rid of that personal trainer. He sounds like a bit of a fucker, and not someone you want to see you sweating with associated fat rolls and sore muscles. Exercise is very personal, and you need to have someone you trust in charge of it. Or, alternatively, someone with a nice arse, so you have something to distract you when you are in pain. Both options are good.'

[hmm]

things went a bit crap at work towards the end of the day, because i'm in charge of all the bought stories that the magazine buys (which includes the pictures that come with it). we've got some files that have either text missing or pictures missing, mainly because some of it was bought way before i joined. and i can't ask the original company for the missing text, because then they'll know that we haven't used it, and the rights to re-print have probably expired, so if we want to use it again, we'll have to pay again.

i'm damned if i do, and i'm damned if i don't. and basically we're wasting money buying things we keep for ages and don't use.
and what doesn't look good on my part also means it'll come up in my appraisal, which is in two week's time. in fact, my boss made it pretty clear this was one of the things we were going to have to discuss.

sigh.

[mildy annoyed]

i find it annoying that my sister's selfish with the phones she brings home. i'm not expecting to get a new phone to use each week, but she gets so many each month that it's nice to have a little change once in a while. even for ONE weekend. but am i allowed that little bit even?
of course not.
but when she needs products and makeup, who has to bring it back for her? who else but me.
'i need a new blush.' 'i need eyecream.' 'i need moisturiser.' 'i need new lipsticks!' 'are there any new mascaras for me to try?'
what do you hear from me? 'hey can i try that phone?' 'NO.'

sheesh.
what's with the world?
i think i should just swap to using sony ericsson phones.

[updated bit]
i've decided that even though my sister annoys me greatly sometimes, i'm also very grumpy today. so in times when i'd normally just shrug my shoulders and say 'eh, whatever' i decided to get annoyed with it.
i don't know why i'm like that sometimes. it just feels like everything that's happening makes me feel really irritated and annoyed. and not that just, everyone seems to irritate me.
i know it's not PMS.
it's just the rest of the world!

yesterday i met up with some of my old seconday school friends and it was great to see everyone again. it was joanna's birthday and seok bin's just come back from denmark (my drinking buddy!) so i think over the next few weeks we'll be going out lots again. heheheeh

[biological warfare on a minor scale]

i went to the doctor's today for a follow-up from my surgery, and he's a little worried because i've got a slight inflammation, which might mean i've got an infection. i haven't got a fever, and i'm not in pain so we know it's not very very bad. but still it's not good. so now i'm on two different antibiotics - 2 pills 3 times a day, and 2 pills 4 times a day.

that makes for a lot of pills!



the sad part is that my best drinking buddy's just come back from abroad. and now i'm on antibiotics for THREE WEEKS! *sobs*

it's been so bloody hot the last few days i feel like i'm going to completely melt any minute now. on the way home from town yesterday i tried to take advantage of it and tan my legs in the car. i think i might have blinded some other motorists though. my legs are just so damn white!

i can't wait till i can go swimming agian! i don't care what they say about sun damage. i'll slap on some sunblock (but *just* enough) so i can still get some colour into my skin. i don't see what the fascination with fair skin is. i want to be tanned!

[the weekend is here!]

it's been such a rush week, running from place to place trying to find all the props that i need for the beauty shoot. i finally managed to find everything in the end (esp with me declaring in the office yesterday 'BY HOOK OR BY CROOK I WILL GET EVERYTHING!'). i didn't manage to find the 'perfect' items, but i got things that we could make do with.
it was great to be able to go along on a beauty shoot though, because i did learn quite a bit. i know i've still got a long way to go because there's so much more for me to learn, and i'm quite glad i'm being given the chance. for the first time in a long long time i feel like i'm being challeneged. and it's not some stupid thing that no one else wants to do so i have no choice but to do it. it's something i have an interest in, and it's something that actually gets me going.

all this has left me a bit knackered though! i think this weekend i'll just have to like comatose and move as little as possible.

[inner monologue]

every morning i get to work by taking the over-crowded-with-kiasu-people train. there are some days when i'm lucky and i manage to get a least a bit of personal space to myself. most of the days though, i'm not.

today i had a woman with long hair standing in front of me. she didn't have dripping wet hair, thank goodness, but she had a ponytail that kept swishing in my face. constantly. because she kept looking left, and looking right, and then looking left and right again. that causes alot of swishing behind. which leaves me rather annoyed.

so in my head i have a monologue of all the people i'm bitching/scolding/cursing at. i'm sure it's quite amusing actually, because i can't believe how rude singaporeans can be sometimes - always wanting to get out the MRT door first, or up the escalator. does that *little* bit of lead really make them that much earlier?

hmm maybe i should start working from home!

[ahhh that monday feeling]

after four days of using the ibook at home, when i got to the office i realised i kept clicking on the wrong things because i'd gotten so used to my lovely laptop instead. hahah! i forgot to bring home the extra mouse from the office though, because i'm not terribly fond of the touchpad.

looks like i'll be quite busy with work over the next few weeks. not only am i handling more features things, i'm also getting geared up to do more beauty articles as well! i'm going to be extra busy, and probably exhausted soon. but the fun thing about it was that i got to pick out some jewellery from cartier and tiffany's to feature for the next beauty story. it was so fun! i don't think i've ever spent that much time in a tiffany's store before. and it's almost like going on a shopping spree. heehee. i even put on the board at work 'checking out some bling bling' and drew a little diamond ring next to it.

my sister comes back tonight from her bangkok trip, but she has to stay over at her boyfriend's place because my pest grandma is here. man, i'd so prefer to have my sister around than my grandma! especially since i can tell her about the lucida ring from tiffany's that she likes. hee.

[another one passes]

after reading an article yesterday about former president ronald reagan's failing health, that he could really go at any moment, it turns out he chose today (or yesterday in US time) to move on. he was 93.

now i'm not an american and i don't profess to like the president that they have now, but ronald reagan seemed like he was one of the nicest presidents around. he did his job and he didn't go around proclaiming that 'you're either with us or against us.'

i always feel a bit sad when celebrities pass away. it's not really that i knew them or was deeply affected by them, but they've all made some sort of impact on the world, and we'll never get anyone of that sort of calibre and class anymore. katharine hepburn is a good example, and even walter mathau and jack lemmon. and who can forget bob hope? he even made it till he was 100.

man, i can't imagine living till i was a hundred. as it is now, sometimes time seems to be moving so slowly. i've got another 75 years before i get near 100. and thinking about having so much time to do things sometimes scares me a little. but i guess it's something that i can only deal with when it comes. for now i'll have to contend myself with just knowing what i'll be doing for the rest of the week!

[days of lounging]

it's nice when you can spend a day, just lounging and doing nothing really. that's why i decided to give myself that five day weekend, although this is the first day i've spent entirely at home. part of the reason was also that we didn't want to leave my grandma at home where she had free reign of the house to snoop wheverever she wanted. the things we have to do!

i even managed to convince chad (who's just started up his own blog too!) to come over armed with his xbox full of games, and some dvds in hand. he's crashed on my bed now - i always wonder how it is that guys can fall asleep so quickly. even my sister's boyfriend (you'll remember him from a few posts ago, with my dog!) falls asleep really fast. maybe it's one of those secret skills they learn while they're in NS. coz i certainly don't know any girls that fall asleep as fast as these two!

tomorrow is my cousin's wedding dinner, so i'll be taking more pictures.. then my photo diary for this weekend will be pretty much complete! heehee

[the infestation]

so she's back, and she's been back about two hours. she's spent about one of those two hours in the toilet, doing goodness knows what...
sigh!
she has a really nasty habit of using other people's things and then topping it up again with water, or whatever she could find. my sister had a big problem with this, because my sister's got very sensitive skin.. so she couldn't figure out why her skin kept breaking out in rashes every time she washed her hands and used the soap. turns out my grandma had been using it all up and then topping it up with washing detergent (very big no no when you've got sensitive skin)

i can't imagine what horror she's going to inflict on us this time.

it's a bit sad though. i really wish that she was the sort of grandma that i'd like to sit down and talk to, that i'd be excited to see everytime she came over, or came back from an overseas trip. but she's not, and thre's really nothing i can do about that. there are some people that you just need to give a little leeway, be a little nicer to them and then they'll respond to you.
she's not one of those. once she knows you're being nice, she'll find more ways to take advantage of it.

how does someone end up becoming so bitter and calculative? she hasn't had a difficult life, and she had four children. except that she brought up all her children to be just like her - bitter and calculative. so none of them want to help each other, and none of them want to take her in. how bad must it be, that your own children don't want you?

the worst thing that could ever happen to me is that i'll turn out like her.. living with my family, who don't really want me there.
i want to feel sad for her, but somehow i've experienced too much, and i'm way beyond feeling anything for her.

that's what dave calls it.
yes, i've finally taken the jump, and i've gotten myself a brand spanking new iBook! (look at me jann! it's about time eh!)
i still can't believe i bought it, but i'm loving it already.
no, i'm not blogging from the iBook yet, because it hasn't been set up for the internet (by tonight it will be though!)
i've taken pictures of it, but can't get them up till i get back to the office (i've been snapping photos with my palm, and it won't sync to my PC at home)

oh my god i bought an iBook!!

[update]
here i am! i'm on the mac! it's quite different from a pc, but really not that hard to get used to.

i've got money to spend! and there doesn't seem to be anything nice enough for me to buy!! i hate it when things like this happen. i went over to VNC during lunch time thinking i'd be able to find a nice pair of shoes, but no! no shoes! okay, i probably should wear the ones i have at home first, but that's not the point!

so i thought maybe gramaphone would have something for me to buy. afterall, i've still got the vouchers from my birthday to spend. but nope. nothing! i just couldn't think of anything to buy. what made it worse was that the only thing that caught my eye was the speed special edition dvd. but chad's already bought it for me - i just have no idea where it is! so if you've borrowed it from me, please kindly own up. i won't beat you up (much), i just want to know where it is!

[oh singapura]

it's quite rare when i get out of the house and into orchard at 11am in the morning.. but i guess that's what happens when you go shopping with your mother.
i wanted to bring my mother to go and watch shrek 2, because she absolutely loved the first one (she's seen it on dvd so many times!) but for some reason she just didn't feel like going to the cinema to watch a movie. i think she was afraid that it'd take too long and she wouldn't be able to get home in time to cook dinner (it's a long story that involves my father. it'll take too long to explain so just nod your heads and smile and pretend you know what it's all about).

in the end we did manage to go down to plaza sing with chad though, and had lunch and walked around all the stores. the great singapore sale didn't seem THAT great - although the discounts seemed pretty alright, the stuff that was on offer just didn't seem to make the cut. but we had a fun time in spotlight looking at all the different materials that we could use to make clothes (or rather, that my mother could use to make clothes - her latest hobby). and i really love grocery shopping at carrefour. it's just so open and there's so much space! the last time i suggested going to IMM for something a little different, and we went to Giant to do get some groceries. big mistake. it's like a human sardine can in there. *shudder*

so anyway, we got home with all our stuff, and chad and i set out to making some shanghainese dumplings for dinner. four trays of dumplings later (and there was still minched pork mixture left) we finally decided enough was enough.. there's only so many you can eat anyway! and to my surprise, F1 qualifying was on too. i'd forgotten that the european grand prix was on this weekend.

a lovely saturday i'd say. except for me coughing, hacking and sneezing my way around plaza sing. i seem to be slightly better though, so hopefully i'm on the road to recovery already, fingers crossed.

and for now i shall head off to sleep because i'm dosed up on sleepy medicine (thanks to dr ron? haha!)

[the dentist and the dog]

(because of some comments made on my lack of picture upload *AHEM* i'm putting up some cute pictures of the dentist and the dog)







the dentist and my dog have a very unique relationship. actually i suspect that the dentist is just the human form of pebbles. they both like to lie on the floor, they both like to eat alot, they both like to have attention (the dentist talks alot! a bit like pebbles sometimes)and they both fall asleep pretty damn fast. i'm just glad pebbles doesn't snore as loud as the dentist does. heehee.

and if anyone's wondering, the dentist is my sister's boyfriend (and could possibly be the future brother-in-law!)

i'm sick, and stuck in the office! my throat's getting itchier, and dr ron's suggestions don't seem to be helping (okay i didn't really follow it, especially since it turned out to be antihistamines, not amphetamines!). my nose is starting to get really itchy too... at least it's thursday!

[germ warfare]

i think it's pretty much official - i'm sick. my throat's been scratching and itchy the past few days, and now my nose is starting to get in on the act by being clogged and annoying.
sigh, i hate it when i'm sick!
plus i think these few hot hot hot humid days haven't helped, and i was running around like crazy yesterday because i had three photoshoots and an event to attend. the photoshoots went quite well actually, because we finished all of them ahead of schedule. but they were location shoots, so there was alot of walking in the sun from place to place. i was, however, introduced to this great crayfish hor fun in chinatown. *rubs stomach happily*


so now it's 430am in the morning, and because of my scratchy itchy throat, i can't get back to sleep. and for some reason D12's My Band is stuck in my head too!

[sigh!]

i didn't get to watch troy, which i didn't mind so much because i was quite tired.. i just don't welcome the thought of sitting through a movie for three hours (especially if i'm not sure if i'll like it, i keep hearing mixed reviews about troy.. i hear it might be worth it to see brad pitt's butt though!)

yesterday i went over to the science centre to explore the lord of the rings exhibition with lorraine.. and when you buy a ticket to the exhibition, you're allowed entry into the science centre itself too. and i can't believe it's been such a long time since i went to the science centre! we had so much fun walking around, and we didn't even get to finish seeing everything (i'm pretty sure we only managed to see like 1/4 of it - we were just too hungry!) so one of these days we're going to go back and explore again. i feel like a kid! haha!


i'm actually typing this on my sister's laptop because my computer's gone all cranky on me again. the CPU refuses to detect my keyboard and won't load up windows until it does. now i've tried everything - unplugging the wire, replugging it back, wiggling it around - and for a while last night it worked again, and then it stopped. maybe it's time to consider apple computers!

[clear blue skies]

there's a big window next to the filing cabinet, that's almost next to my desk, and it gives us one of the best views you could get from an office in singapore.

it's nice that we sometimes stop to look out the window and admire the view. all the boats that come into the pier, and the cars that zoom by below us. the sea looks amazing sometimes - like emeralds glittering in the distance. of course when it rains the water turns to a muddy brown colour which isn't as nice.

because of this large view to the outside world, our side of the office remains a pretty comfortable temperature. the rest of the office huddled inside always have to wrap themselves in layers and layers of shawls and sweaters to keep their own body heat. but we stroll around in singlets and skirts, swanning in and out like there's nothing in the world bothering us! (okay we'd probably wear the singlets and skirts even if it weren't for the window). the only problem is that when it rains alot, we become part of the group that huddles and cloaks themselves in layers. when we're cold.. i can't imagine how the rest of the people are feeling!

ahhh, the view from my office... (sorry, the colours are actually alot nicer! i took this through the window with my Palm..)

[inept]

i hate it when PR people come and bother you about things. i know it's their job so i patiently put up with it. some times you even get to meet pretty interesting people and strike up a friendship.

what i don't like is being told my interview is at 6pm, and then sitting there and waiting till 630pm without a word from the PR people why there's a delay. if someone had come to me at 610, or 615 and said, 'sorry, we're running a little late..' i wouldn't have minded so much.

but not a single word. i sat there, and waited and waited. i was on the verge of walking off and storming home already. so what did she say when she finally came to get me? 'sorry, i had to wait for my colleague to ring me first.'

sorry?
that's the BEST you could do? are you so disorganised that you didn't even know who was going to come and do the interview?
that's just rude i think.
was definitely not in a good mood after that.

[the weekend report]

i have to say, i've had a really good weekend!

it started off with van helsing on friday night, which i really really liked! i know some people have said that it wasn't that good a movie, but david wenham has some of the funniest lines in the movie. it's just one of those you watch to have some good old brainless fun (the best kind!)

saturday i spent with chad, as we hopped over to the supermarket looking for things to stock his fridge with. i've always loved going to supermarket and just wondering up and down the aisles looking at all the food and trying to decide what needs to be bought! in the end we bought food enough for that night's dinner, plus a little extra. so back to his place we went, where he cooked up some chicken curry to stock up on (he froze them to eat with his prata) and some cajun fish pasta for dinner. yum! we also headed over to ikea to have a look around, and made a detour to get rochor tao huey for my mom (she really loves her tao huey).

today i headed into town to meet a colleague so we could go accessory shopping.. she's got her wedding coming up in september so we were walking around trying to find ideas of what she can wear. of course, we also got quite distracted and ended up buying lots of other things too. but i just love accessories! we were totally in love with the stuff at mudan. sigh! and i finally got to meet colz at instant karma. HEY COLZ! *grins*

now all i have left to do is figure out what i want to wear to work tomorrow...
goodbye weekend, it's been lovely!

[friday madness]

so i went to NUH this morning to finally learn how to do the dressings at home myself, so i won't have to keep going twice a week. the good news is that while i was there, they also told me i'm NOT diabetic! hurray! i can keep eating all those yummy desserts. hehehe. i've just got too much of a sweet tooth to keep away from them!


last night i went to an anna sui event, where they had the cutest vespa decorated with all the anna sui swirls and butterflies. you can win it, apparently. but i'm still trying to convince them it'd be better off if they just gave it to me.

i'm hopelessly addicted. and i'm not looking forward to singapore idol.. i'm not convinced it'll be anywhere near as good as the american one. look at all the other reality shows they've tried to imitate!

i'm not going to go into who i like, and why. or who i don't, and why, because that means i'll be here for half the night! but it's fun to watch, and i know i'm the sort that gets easily addicted to reality shows (i actually try and avoid them to begin with!)

why are they so addictive?!

[hmmmm]

lots of thoughts for today..

i did a spot of shopping with leanne this afternoon and came back with 5 tops! two were given to me by her (they've become too big for her, but just nice for me!) one was a top she'd help me buy from instant karma (which i shouldn't count, really, because i got a bit too optimistic about my size and it's a tad too small) and two from mango. i've realised i've finally started to stop buying so many black tops, and i've been getting more and more coloured ones instead. yay! no more feeling so damn hot all the time.

i've been working on a DIY pedicure story, and just realised my feet are in awful condition. dry flaky bits everywhere (plus one blister!), so unglam! must follow my own advice this weekend and get them back into shape. i'm obsessed with having non-dry and flaky skin. don't ask me why!

my family's addicted to text twist. my mother is scarily very good at it. but i like text twist.. it makes me feel like i'm doing something smart on the way to work!

another attack of gastric. not happy.
very pain. very little sleep. slept in weird positions trying to get rid of the pain.
also had to throw up alot.
what happened to that iron stomach i had before?
sighhh.

i have a feeling it was because i got too hungry while i was out on the road show and then had too much green chili with dinner (beef hor fun from geylang!). i think i'll have to actually be careful with what i'm eating, because i don't think i can suffer like this for very long!

[TGIF!]

man i'm really glad that the end of the week is here. this week seems to have dragged on waaay too long. i remember thinking on tuesdsay 'it has to be AT LEAST thursday now!'

i went to NUH this morning for a follow-up checkup. i didn't get to see my doctor because he'd scooted off for a conference! so back i go again on monday. from what i can tell, it looks like everything's healing nicely.. so i guess i'm on the right track!

i'm off to do some unwinding at winebar later on, because there's nothing like good company and lots of drinks to make you feel happy again! SWW's having a roadshow tomorrow at united square though, so i think i will need a foot massage very badly by tomorrow night.

i've still got 40 minutes left to go before i can leave the office, but i've officially stopped doing any work. well, okay, i stopped doing any work about half an hour ago!

[the end of the rest]

so here i am, at the end of my lovely long MC. tomorrow i go back to the real world, and join the rest of society. but i've had a rather nice time just staying at home and watching lots of good and bad movies. in the time i've been recuperating i've watched xXx (or triple X), anger management, men in black 2, panic room, down with love, bulletproof monk, bandits, the thin red line, johnny english, queen of the damned and black hawk down.
and i have to admit, even though some of them are quite bad, they were just so entertaining! and i even made it a point to watch movies i hadn't seen before (i sometimes tend to rent movies i've already seen... hey, at least i know they're worth watching!)

chad also kindly brought over the Xbox that his cousin had lent him, and i had a blast watching all these episodes of will and grace! i forgot how funny it was, and i couldn't stop laughing... he's also got quite a few games on it, and i have to admit i'm horrible at car racing games (i smashed up an enzo ferrari pretty badly.. ouch!) but i wasn't too bad at a ninja game, except i couldn't defeat the boss.. sigh! maybe i should stick to things like puzzle fighter or puzzle bubble...

alright, better head off to bed. i'll need all my rest for the long day ahead tomorrow!

[laughing out loud]

ahh i just love it when you have a great old conversation, where you let loose and laugh like there's no tomorrow. sometimes it's at someone else's expense, but sometimes it's just at yourself. and after you've laughed so hard you've got tears streaming down your face, you realise your whole body's relaxed, and it's almost as if you'd just taken a really lovely drug.

i spent an hour having a nonsensical sort of conversation with sharon, who never fails to make me laugh like crazy sometimes. although i have to admit it's probably mutual too. for a while we had to set up a system where she'd press a button on the phone when she was laughing just so i knew she was still on the other end. she's a silent laugher - one of those who just shakes and shakes uncontrollably when they're laughing but doesn't actually laugh out loud. when you're on the phone with someone like that it's hard to tell if they're still there when they're laughing that hard, and that silently!

i find that i have an affinity for people that make me laugh. and that's how i remember people that i've just met - funny or just plain 'nice'. maybe it's because i like to be entertained.. or maybe it's just that i like enjoying life, and laughing is just a whole lot more theraputic and wonderful than going out and getting drunk (although you do laugh alot when you're drunk too... hmm!)

but hey, as long as we're all enjoying life, there's nothing to complain about!

[stitches OUT!]

i'm off to get my stitches out, which i suspect will be the most painful thing out of the whole procedure (i don't count the op itself because i was asleep through the whole thing anyway!). Even the doctor said to me last week 'i think you better come in a bit earlier, there are alot of stitches to remove.'

*sobs*
so if you don't hear from me in the next few days, it's probably because i'm curled up in bed, in agony!

but for now here's a funny email that got sent to me..


Living in 2004
You know you're living in 2004 when...


1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3

4. You e-mail your mate who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that do not have e-mail addresses.

6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer phone in business-like manner.

7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "0" or "9" get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely get long-service awards.

AND THE REAL CLINCHERS ARE...

13. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.

14. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to friends.

15. You got this email from a friend that never talks to you anymore, except to send you jokes from the net.

16. You are too busy to notice there was no No. 9

17. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a No. 9.

18. AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING AT YOUR STUPIDNESS AND THINKING WHO YOU CAN SEND IT ON TO!

[back again]

alright ron, alright! i hear you!

so i'm back now again, having been away for not-that-long-but-long-enough.

the truth is, i've been wanting to write for the past few days, but i never really knew what to say at the same time (and if this all sounds slightly cryptic just bear with me!). what i went through was something that i'd thought about doing for almost two years. and with a decision like this, i guess you want that much time to think about it.

i've undergone a surgery that's been waiting to happen for a while, and earlier this month, it became time for it to happen. the only reason i'm hesitant to say what sort of surgery it is is because i'm not sure who's reading this. i don't mind the majority of people out there who read it knowing, but remember when i talked about people barging into my life and trying to be my friend? well, some of those people know about my blog (from goodness knows where, i certainly didn't give them the address) and they're the ones that i don't really want knowing...

what i can tell you is that i'm very happy right now, because i feel like a whole new person! and i think i've also proven that i'm alot stronger than i (or anyone else) ever thought. through the whole thing i never cried or complained. i've taken everything into my stride and remained calm.

my surgery happened last tuesday, and i don't know why i thought it was such a big deal in the beginning. but i think it's also hard to get ahead of yourself when you don't know what to expect, and that's how i went through the whole experience - with no expectations. it's been quite surreal, come to think of it, because i've been wanting this for so long and now it's finally happened. and i can't believe that i waited so long to get this fixed, when i could have just done it a long time ago.

so, here i am. my life's been changed, but at the same time i'm still me.

and i can just imagine ron pulling out his hair at all these non-answers! so ron, if you're really dying to know, give me your email and then i'll give you more details. haha!
