i felt absolutely sick on the way to work today.. it started off just feeling a little funny, which quickly turned into overwhelming nausea, my arms and legs feeling like they were floating, and my hearing slowly going.. i broke out into a cold sweat, wanted to throw up, and couldn't quite breathe properly.. it took all my effort to try to just remain standing, and i forced myself to keep together, until the train pulled into tanjong pagar. i quickly walked out (to tell you the truth, i was almost at the point where i thought i was about to collapse) in a state of daze and sat down. i breathed and i breathed, and realised i was almost soaked in sweat. this is the second time it's happened to me.. although the first time wasn't as debilitating as this one.i felt absolutely terrified. i was alone, and on the brink of collapse.. what's going on? why does it feel like life's falling apart a little?
and why does my throat hurt so damn much?
don't tell me that after 2342912345 rounds of being exposed to sick colleagues over the past two months, that NOW i'm getting sick?
sigh
that's life isn't it?
it's a saturday once again! my sister has gone off to port dickson for a short holiday with, i'm guessing, her friends. which is kind of nice really.. i'd love to take a short holiday somewhere right about now! but it's kind of good for me as well, because i finally have some quiet time to myself.. alright, it's more like not so quiet time because i found one of my corrs cds, and it's blasting away, and i'm singing at the top of my lungs! it's no wonder i've been going to pick chad up from work at night, because it gives me the chance for some time alone to myself, just singing away to all the songs on the radio (or cd, whichever one is better!).
i haven't actually listened to a cd for the longest time because my sister likes to shove them all in boxes and hide them on shelves. i was rummaging through them looking for my coldplay cd (which till now is still MIA) when i stumbled across the corrs, the vanilla sky soundtrack, my fatboy slim on the floor at the boutique (brillo cd! i must remember to buy blank cds, there are plenty of people who want this!) and my long lost dave arnold shaken not stirred cd! so i guess that rummaging was worth it.. but still! i prefer to display my cds, so at least they're easier to see, and then i'll know what mood i'm in to know what cds i want to listen to!
"you're forgivennnn not forgottennnnnn.."
work work work... i think that's my mantra for the past few months.. the good news is that i've been confirmed! i got my letter of confirmation from my boss yesterday, and she handed it to me and said 'welcome to the real world'. hahahah.. i told her i was going to frame it up (i'm not, of course!) but there's more work for me today, sww is having an event at suntec, so i'll have to remember to wear my comfy shoes coz i'll be standing from 2 to about 8. i was going to do some writing at home, but i think i deserve a bit of a break today, so i shall remain in my room, singing as loud as i want!
i was tossing and turning the other night, lying in bed as all these thoughts were going through my mind.. i was thinking about how life had turned out, about relationships.. and oddly enough, about foundations and concealers! i think my turn as the temporary beauty writer has certainly made my dreams tossing and turning thoughts alot more interesting!
"still i believeeeeee... i'm missing something reaaall.... i need someone who really sees meeee..."
at least today seems like it'll stay sunny.. it's been raining cats and dogs pretty much the last few days, which means my office gets really cold. although we've got a great view of collyer quay, on warm days it means we're baking inside, and on rainy days we're freezing! oh the banes of indoor existence. but hey, the bright side of it is that at last i get a great view no matter what the weather is..
julie sent me an email the other day, which i thought was kind of cute! and the best part about it is that as i was reading it, i could actually imagine friends who'd actually do those things!
Friends vs Best Friends
Friend: calls your parents by mr. and mrs.
Best friend: calls your parents dad and mom.
Friend: has never seen you cry
Best friend: has always had the best shoulder to cry on
Friend: never asks for anything to eat or drink
Best friend: opens the fridge and makes herself at home
Friend: asks you to write down your number.
Best friend: they ask you for their number (cuz they can't remember it)
Friend: borrows your stuff for a few days then gives it back.
Best friend: has a closet full of your stuff
Friend: only knows a few things about you
Best friend: could write a biography on your life story
Friend: will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing
Best friend: will always go with you
uh oh
i think i spoke too soon about the rain.. dark clouds have started loooooming in the distance.. i better make a move before it starts to pour!
ciao bellas!

quip of the day:A Montenegrin family thought a World War II artillery shell was the ideal replacement for a broken table leg - until it exploded, slightly injuring eight people as they were about to eat a meal.

Sunday, November 24
[sunday sunday]i can't believe that it's sunday already! *stretches* the weeks just seem to be flying past in the blink of an eye.. i know i haven't been writing very much the last few days. i usually get home completely tired out, just wanting to read my news, watch a bit of tv and then crash into bed. the funny thing about it is that i still end up sleeping about midnight, and then getting up the next day already trying to figure out what has to be done at work. or on a bad night, i'm tossing in bed thinking about work, and the little sleep i do get, i'm dreaming about work. argh!
alright enough about the work now.. it's almost the end of november now, and christmas will be just around the corner before i know it! i've got a couple of things i want to buy for people as presents.. but for some people i just have completely no idea what to buy! sometimes i love christmas, and other times i just find it such a drag.. having to go and visit all these people that you don't really want to see.. (hmm, that sounds a whole lot like chinese new year too!) but i guess sometimes you just can't help but caught up in the whole 'excitement' of christmas. i just wish all the shopping centres wouldn't play the same cheesy awful out of tune christmas carols over and over again. i swear, it can drive anyone insane!
uh oh, it looks like it's going to rain again.. i better get moving (where i don't know yet!)
Saturday, November 23
i went back to work today..did lots of filing..
about 5 hours worth actually..
had a headache after that, made my eyes hurt..
but i went shopping after, so it wasn't too bad!
got some pants and two tops, so i'm a half happy camper.. would have been a happier camper if they had this other pair of pants in my size.. i could fit the size 10s, but i probably wouldn't have been able to sit down at all!
now i'm just lounging at home..
off to rot my brain with cable tv..
thank god for technology!
gosh i can't believe that it's already past midnight.. it seems like the time has just flown past today.. thank god it's friday though! i've still got to go to the office tomorrow, but at least i don't have to go in at 9 am!
*stretch* and you'd think after spending a whole day at the office in front of the computer, i wouldn't want to sit in front of the computer when i was at home! hehehe... i guess it's coz my computer at home is just so much faster, i don't bother surfing at work at all!
*twiddles thumbs*

thank god it's thursday!and suddenly, that seems to be the only thing my brain can come up with!

here's a pretty funny list of all the best and worst bond moments that there ever was..yes, you can tell i'm a james bond fan :) thanks lorraine, for letting me know about the link!
Monday, November 18
sometimes you just gotta love the hollywood people!"Pierce Brosnan has come under attack from the British Lung Foundation for smoking cigars in the new Bond film and setting a bad example. A Bond bigwig groaned, 'Bond goes around shooting people in the head with his gun – he can't really be called a role model.' "
i knew people like looking to movies for role models, but c'mon! some movies are just for fun!
Sunday, November 17
it's one of those days i think. i'm in one of those cranky moods, but can't really explain it. i just feel really frustrated and angry for some reason. like i'm trying to figure out what life is trying to do to me, but i just can't make any sense of it at all. or maybe i just need more hobbies! maybe i should take a hint from the fengshui experts and clear out the clutter in my room. it's a little hard to keep it clutter-free though, when you've got two people living in the same space! i guess the good side of it is that i get to share my sister's stuff. she just got back from a diving trip today, and she's sunburnt. like very badly! it's kind of funny though, it looks like she's still wearing her bikini even when she's not! but still, this room just can't handle the two of us..too many clothes/things/trinkets/gadgets, and just too little space..
that's another reason why my family is driving me nuts. my parents know that there isn't enough space for us, and they've been talking for ages about moving out to somewhere bigger. but my mom refuses to look at any new houses until we sell this one.. and at the rate that things are going, i don't think we're ever going to sell this place! (why they bought it in the first place is still beyond me) my mom says it upsets her to have to see my sister and i crammed into one room together.. but if it upset her that much, then why didn't she go and see that house for rent today? my dad said he didn't feel like going, but then again he never feels like doing anything anyway, but i'm sure my mom could have still gone to at least have a look at it. but no. of course not, it's never going to happen. we're just all stuck here in this tiny place, unless we can get rid of my grandma. it sounds mean, but you haven't met my grandma.if we got rid of her, we wouldn't have any problems. but let's not get started about my grandma, otherwise we could be here allllll night.
my family drives me mad. my dad is a lazy bum who doesn't do anything the whole day except just sit in front of the tv, or he takes naps.. like lots of them! he's the kind of guy that will tell my mom AFTER she's finished cooking that she should have added in some other things. he's the kind of guy that will eat all the food, but leave the empty plates there. he's the kind of guy that expects you to have the answer to whatever question he has, and then gets pissed off when you don't know the answer (like would i really know what BMW is in chinese?!) sometimes he says things, and the only thought i can conjure up in my mind is 'moron!'. it's sad isn't it? to have your own family think of you that way. i've just learnt it's easier to stay out of his way, then to try and reason with him.. he is, afterall, the kind of guy that tells his daughter she's only good for becoming a maid next time. i didn't realise maids worked in magazines nowadays. my mom is a good woman.. although sometimes i dont' have a clue what she's going on about. when i'm at work she'll message me and say 'i'm going to the guide house in about an hour.. i'll be back early afternoon.' what that has to do with me i'm not sure.. i usually just reply 'alright, i'll be here at work!' maybe she's just lonely.. not like there's any point in her telling my dad where she's going.. my dad will make her come back from wherever she is to pick him up after he's done drinking himself to death.
that's my family for you folks. dysfunctional, but everyone's too scared to leave. my mom doesn't want to leave because she's afraid that she won't be able to survive out there. my dad doesn't want to leave because he knows that he can't survive without someone taking care of him. my grandma won't leave because she knows that no one else will put up with her. i can't leave coz i can't afford to stay out on my own, and my sister won't leave... well, who knows about that!
i'd just like a moment of clarity.. something that will show me why i've got to go through all of this bullshit sometimes. the upside is that i like spending time at work now.. i guess i've thrown myself into my career. i like spending time with my colleagues, probably because i only see them for about 9 hours, and then go home after that. but it always makes life more interesting when the people you work with are interesting! i just hope it stays this way..
[rainy days and sundays]
it's such a rainy sunday today, i could actually hear the thunder rolling in the sky before the rains hit. and now it's raining like there's no tomorrow! but it was about time anyway.. the last few days have been so hot and so humid! it's amazing how we manage to survive in this kind of weather.. but i guess we don't have much of a choice! *sigh* times like this i miss winter in melbourne! i'm supposed to be doing some work today, but i'm feeling kinda lazy.. this weather makes me want to just curl up in bed with a book! hmm.. speaking of books, i think it's about time to get myself a new 'read on the way to work and going home' book. it really makes the trip feel alot shorter!
yesterday, the housemate and i, with some of her friends, decided to get a kick start on getting our lives healthy again. we attended a yoga class where i think today, we've discovered we have muscles in areas we never knew about! it feels kind of good though, to have worked my body out a bit.. the only problem i had was that the class was a little too big, so sometimes i'd have to stop the pose i was doing and contort to see what the instructor was trying to tell us about. and it was only half way through the class that i finally understood what he was saying! 'in haaaaaaaale' 'ex haaaaaaaaaaale'
it may sound easy.. but the pause betweein in and hale was so long i thought it was two different words! i kept wondering what hale (or hill, coz that's what it sounded more like) was in yoga! hehehe..
maybe this is the start of healthier housemates!
What's YOUR Writing Style?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are a freeform writer. Individualistic with a sense for the different and challenging, Walt Whitman and his poetry lacking meter and rhyme is just what the doctor ordered. You're quick to write something that the rest of the world doesn't accept as poetry, quick to separate yourself from the average joe. An author with a true sense of self, you have confidence in your abilities and aren't afraid to show it. :) GO YOU!

brought to you by Quizilla
You are the good ol' classic sunset. Romantical and serene, you're genuine nature will guarentee you an incredible amount of pain in this life as you realize how many phony hypocrites are out there. Sooner or later you'll decide to stop hating them and start helping them. Don't expect anything, give your love without abandon and you will reap countless rewards. You are not greedy. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to compromise. Yeah you can be stubborn, but for the most part, you're willing to hang loose. Know this...that no matter what, you are loved.

i woke up yesterday thinking 'wonderful!! i can't believe it's thursday already.. or is it friday? oh heck, whatever it is, it'll be almost the weekend...' then i lay there for a while, wondering where the week had gone, because it seemed to have gone by pretty fast! then i realised i'd made a mistake, that it was only tuesday, and i still had alot of the week left.*doh*
really tired today.. had a lot of trouble writing my story (yes, ONE story) and it seemed to zap all my energy. i guess it didn't help that while i was trying to concentrate and write the damn thing, i kept getting all these phone calls that would break my attention. haha, excuses excuses i hear. but it's true! by the time i finished my story i was just soo happy i wanted to pack up and go home. but of course, i couldn't, coz i have two more stories to do.
but i went home anyway! ahahha!

Monday, November 11
it was one of those days.. by 11 am i felt like i'd been working for two days already! luckily by the time the office day finished i'd managed to get quite a lot of things covered, even though i didn't manage to get any writing done :/ looks like that'll be what i have to do tomorrow!i was watching the weakest link last night, and boy are singaporean guys not very smart!! one of them was seemed really cocky, and tried to frazzle the host, but i think he ended up being more frazzled himself.. some of the 'retorts' he had were just sooo lame! what the hell's going on?!
we're all doomed, no wonder singapore's got an aging population and not enough kids being born!!
Saturday, November 9
oh what a housemate day!it was one of those days that seemed slightly surreal. i almost fell asleep on the bus ride to meet cindy, which is kind of odd, coz i've never fallen asleep on the bus before! but we managed to find lots of pretty good bargains in just the one building (heeren! the annex!!) and for once we seem to have loads and loads of time! usually we do our shopping, then realise how late it is and have to skip stores that we were planning on having a look at. we went to watch sweet home alabama, which isn't too bad! it's not a great movie, although it'd probably make a really good date movie! (hmm, that's slightly rhyming!) we headed home early though, because we were both pretty tired..
but at least the housemate adventures continues!
here's one more quiz! i know i know.. i seem to be addicted to them sometimes!

[girls night out]yes, i am kind of aware that it's actually 2 46am in the morning. it's one of those nights where i've gotten about 2 hours of sleep, and then woken up for some odd reason. i'll go back to bed in about 45 minutes (hopefully!) and have nice and pleasant dreams.. the good thing about being awake at this hour is that i usually get to talk to lorraine, who's all the way over in glasgow doing her masters. *gives a quick wave to lorraine*
it was an evening full of girls tonight, as i headed down to paragon to return some clothes i'd borrowed from my photoshoot last week. we (being sharin, sharon and ping wen) met up at the swenson's just across the road, and had a lovely time just chatting and eating the night away. ok, i admit i was probably not as talkative as i usually am. i guess it was just one of those nights where i didn't feel like talking that much, and sat there in my own thoughts. well, that and i'd been stuck on an article i was writing at work, so i was trying to figure out how to continue the story in my head! if i didn't feel like talking, i figured i might as well make use of the time and get some work done.. (it didn't work, needless to say!) so we sat and talked for a bit before sharon and pingwen and i headed off for dessert!
no meal is ever complete without dessert! and that's the thing that will probably do me in each time! hehehe, i just can't deny my sweet tooth sometimes! so there we were sitting at coffee club in takashimaya, complaining about life and people over a muddy mud pie and a warm brownie with ice cream. yumm! how can you not enjoy a night out with the girls with desserts like that? *grins* so we talked in between forkfuls of desserts in our mouths, and then had to head home, because there was work and school to be attended to the next day...
in the car on the way to dropping sharon home (she hadn't seen my mother in a while, so i figured we'd just give her a ride home!) my gorgeous friend giselle called from perth!! she'd been having trouble calling me, something about dialling the wrong numbers and what not, so she'd finally gotten through! it was quite funny, and i really miss talking to her sometimes! i don't think i've laughed so hard in such a long time! she was saying that she'd gotten through to the second round of interviews for a bank teller job, and that she was quite excited about it because bank hours are really short, and she figured it was like only working for half a day, every day of the week!!! ahahhaa, she's such a crazy girl she is.
okay, i think it's time to give that sleeping thing another shot!
wish me luck!
Tuesday, November 5
it's a tuesday, pretending to be a monday today.. although when i was at work it felt more like it was a thursday!i don't know if any of this is making sense at all! i had to run around alot at the office today, and even though i've got a couple of articles to write, i didn't manage to type a word! which is really odd because i've got all my material ready to get the articles done, but i just couldn't find the time to do it!
sorry, i told you i was rambling today!
i went to the esplanade theatre studio for a palm launch (no no, the kind you have on your hands, the PDA!) and i have to admit that the americans really are such charismatic talkers! when the guy was giving his presentation, i actually managed to stay interested through the whole thing.. until the texas instrument guy came up to give his speech. in typical singaporean style, he read from a piece of paper, and had no emotions. *yawns* good thing the american guy took over after that!
alright, enough from me tonight..
g'nite everyone!
Saturday, November 2
that dog of mine, i swear! drives me nuts sometimes!!! i'd just finished sweeping my room because there was dust and hair everywhere.. so i swept it up, and chucked it in the bin. and she came along and stuck her head in it, dragged out the dust and hair along with a tissue paper which she started eating!! i smacked her and scolded her, and she barked at me! i think she's really getting too spoilt sometimes. i kept scolding her and smacking her, and my mom joined in, except we're all a little scared that she's going to bite us (like she's never done that to me anyway!!) and i think she knows it, so she gets away with too many things!so after she's eaten the tissue, she just sits there. so i tell her 'OUT! GET OUT OF MY ROOM NOW!' and try to shove her bottom to get going. she, of course, doesn't like to be ordered around and growls at me again! that deserves another smack and a 'so naughty!', so i look her in the eye and say 'GET OUT OF MY ROOM! OUT! NOW! GO! GO!! OUT!!!' and she suddenly realises i'm really mad at her, and walks out.
*sigh* i just called my sister and said 'YOUR dog ah!' and told her what happened.. now she's claiming the dog is mine! 'YOUR dog!'
i've spent the day spring cleaning the room with my sister and my mom. hopefully now we've created enough space for us both to house our things.. i think it should be okay, as long as the two of us don't buy anything big in the next few months! i have to say though, the room does look a bit more streamlined.. but i also better remind myself that we've still got some things waiting outside the door to be brought back in. heh! i hope we can keep this neat look for a while. we probably just have to keep bringing my sister's boyfriend over. he was quite horrified to see the state of the room! 'but you're girls!' he said. 'but we're two girls trying to share a room that isn't big enough!' we replied. 'but still! you're girls! you're supposed to be neat!' he exclaimed. hahah!
men! i guess they'll never understand us huh!
here's a quiz i took from charmane .. she sounds like she's alot like me! well.. she is a pisces afterall! we rule!

it's 2 47am, and i'm still awake. i've been tossing in bed for about two hours, but i just can't seem to get my brain to keep quiet long enough for me to get to sleep! i've done a little bit of work on my website, mainly the page about me . somehow being on the computer always makes me feel a bit sleepier! here's a quiz i found on someone's blog.. unfortunately i forgot and closed the window before i could link it back there. i'm sorry!1.

29. WHAT DID YOU DO FOR YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY?
had a party at my place!
okay, it's 3 am now..
here goes attempt number two at some sleep!
i'm soooo glad that tomorrow is friday! i had a horrible night's sleep yesterday, and woke up at 7 am for some reason or another. and usually by the time i'm dressed to go to work, i'm awake enough to function for the rest of the day, but noooo, not today of course! so i got to work, mostly in a daze. which made me semi-grumpy because there was a ton of emails waiting for me, and my computer wasn't being very co-operative. by noon time, full blown grumpiness had hit because on top of doing my own work, i had to help out the malaysian office with getting some pictures (which i seem to have to do alot of for them!). what made it so difficult was that i had to sit around and wait for the girl to email me the celeb's photos first, in order for me to see what watch they were wearing (it's a story about celebs and their watches.... if you hadn't quite figured it out yet!) so i had all these telephone numbers ready for all the different brands of watches that i needed to get pictures of.. and i sat and waited. i called the girl in malaysia and asked her to email me the pictures. and i waited.. i tried to call a few of the brands first, and actually managed to get one picture sorted.. but then i realised i didn't have the faintest clue what the second watch looked like.. so i waited somemore..
i hate waiting!
so yes, to cut a long, profanity-filled story slightly shorter, i finally got the pictures a few hours later, managed to get hold of all the right people and got those pictures! so i quickly finished up more of my own work before i dashed off to met keryl at the mrt station. i figured since i needed to go into town to do some sourcing for my photoshoot tomorrow, i might as well hang around there. good thing i had keryl with me.. otherwise i might still be at the store trying to choose what tops to borrow! but i have to say, it's still alot easier than trying to decide what to wear for myself in the mornings! so i picked out four tops (just to be on the safe side), and off we went to have dinner.
and of course, it was the day that fast food became not so fast. i had to wait about 15 minutes for my McChicken. *rolls eyes* i think it was just one of those days! but i had a good time with keryl, we just sat and talked, and i realised i'd actually learnt quite abit about her! all good of course! heh. but still! i've known her almost 10 years, and i'm still learning things! that's cool i say!
alright, i've got my blog mostly up and running again i think.. i can't get my 'how many days have you been blogging' counter to work though.. argh! i better not get started on trying to fix that.. i didn't get to bed last night till about 1 am because i was trying to get my commenting system to work again!
