the yearly affair

emo-ing.

joy sewed this!

c.h.r.i.s.t.m.a.s.

my first christmas in 10 years without a partner.

christmas doesnt feel christmasy to me this year..

i didnt have any christmas dinner..

nor did i go for the christmas countdown..

nor did i receive any christmas presents..

instead, i sat by the pool for an hour watching frogs swimming their frog style in the pool and letting go the overdued feelings i needed to.

good nights and merry christmas.

the man faced beetle and a bruise.

aunt found this in the living room

it really does look like a face!

and i fell in abn. all thanks to the 3 inch heels i was trying to get used to. and the 2 previous bruises from ice skating barely healed!

emo-ing.

im backkkkkk! from the land of fuzhou dialect and fuzhou fishballs.

i've been talking alot today and tonight, so much that i have that sore throat feeling. and i dont feel like opening my mouth until tmr.

december the tenth.

i finally finished project [m] last night at 230am! i have been working till late at abn only to continue part 2 - project [m] at home. project [m] phase 2 will start after im back! ha. and i cant find my mosaic tiles for phase 2! i did this with a tinge of korean-ness themed. no idea if she cried cos all i got was a daughter, bday card - thanks. hmphhhhhh. so much for my beauty sleep, eye bags, cutting and pasting the individual strips and and and my money!

i promise it wouldnt be just 1k in future! ha.

i took over serenata while aunt was away

and she bought me 5 boxes of masks from hk! =)

my not-so-happy monday.

my day started off with that not-so-pleasant phone call from mum. that totally affected my mood and i couldnt concentrate nor focus at work.

wadever CS was blabbing on the phone took me at least a few seconds more to process.

my thumbdrive died on me after copying the database scripts and latest customizations.

i didnt talk as much as i should during lunch with randy and CS.

i was freakin busy from 3pm when CS started throwing issues to me one by one.

the freaking sub-reports refusedddd to work.

i totally didnt feel like going home after work.

and mr c came to fetch me to get my avocado shake.

sorry mr c, about your sister and the car.

sometimes i still feel im so childish and immature, still wanting to throw a tantrum to get wadever i want. =(

but, thanks mr c, and my cousins for talking to me for an hour plus! my ears was like freaking hot from the phone.

day 1.

i cant wear skirts anymore this week! hmph. stuuuuuuuuuuupid cs.

blue and blacks.

we fell cos of mr cs! ha. 3 of us hand in hand, and fell one by one. i landed on my knees while april on her butt. and i saw the blueyyy black on my knee caps. hmph.

stupid mr cs. i'll go for a xray and do up that agreement if there's a 0.00000000001mm crack in my bones ok. hmphh.

short week for me this week! and im super duper excited! ha. im forever excited when it comes to holidays. and i think i should really stop going for holidays as if im printing money after my jan's. promise!

mum bought sooooo much snacks! peanuts! cup noodles! sweets! jellies! sour plums! biscuits! and 3rd aunt is bringing a loaf of bread! ha!

over at the dinner table earlier on, 3rd aunt was super funny.

she: in shanghai, they serve all the different parts of the chicken, and all the pieces i took were the "cartridges".
george: cartilage lah. u eat printer ink ar?

joy: pa was smsing about the ostrich and other food he ate overseas. mum asked me to reply "dont eat too much "erotic" food."
us: LOL

my 3rd aunt's silly antics.

on another note, peiling of AE's blogshop is workin in abn bank! oh my! im super impressed cos she's only 23 and she has juggled her established blogshop, work, bf, and family so well. and to a certain extent, i seem to be stalking her blog. oops.

hooooooooooooooooooooooooooray.


and! how many more days to being attached!

im 930 bucks poorer. the oxygen and some ampule had better work wonders for my face.

its so easy for my beautican to con me :(

T[1][2][3] and the budget.

i realised i seem to be accquainted with the airport, in some way or another.

mr r. was the main renovations contractor for the airport..

mr n. used to come down once a month and i would always send him off for the 3.50pm flight..

mr e. always brought me there for paktor-ing n ice cream.

mr c. works there..

ha. wads up with me and changi..

i miss him and he miss me. and i know i cant always be living in the past..
i have to move on.

i know i know i know i know i know i know.
its often easier said den done.

but i'll try. my best to.

its been ages since i've had the time and chance to be alone in my study room at this time, blasting music loudly and doing my stuffs.

i love such me-times =)

and i need to start and finish project [m] fast!

the plain-shirt-fetished one that buys 8 at a go...

the weekly stocks

the last royal show.

the 100km drive up and down joondalup. for a dvd writer i remembered?

and the chinatown feast at bkk.

so many memories, i don't know how to put them aside..

the urge.

i suddenly have the go blading alone while listening to my emo songs on my bang n olufsen serenata. listening to music on bang n olufsen's puts music on my humble nokia 6500 down. badly. ha.

november twenty fourth.

i suddenly feel lost..

and emo-ing with my emo music on my aunt's serenata is the next closest to calming my soul.

and i miss someone. rather badly. someone...

happppppy tuesday!

the sail

i spreaded alittle of my 'joanne-ness'

fake, but so pretty =)

naveen's hand

my swollen finger. all because of a twig.

argh.

i made a new enemy. twigs. twigs are my biggestttt enemies in ecp. dammit. i screamed and woobled over a few today and had my worst fall to date over one as well.

now i have a swollen left index finger. all thanks to twigs. hmph.
and the stupid pilot didnt hear what i said. stupid pilot. hmph.

mister potato.

i love and hate him. love his jokes, but he is slowwwww. adding/removing of fields in the contact memo form took him few hours, and he wasn't done even at 8. i decided to edit using paint at 7+ otherwise i'd be stuck at abn the entire night babysitting him telling him every single step to do.

he bought us a snack called...michi? ha. green chilli coated with masala flour. and he was on and on about "the michi time" he is always full of rubbish jokes that we seem to be laughing loudly few times per hour!

he: safi's still in mda, he's not in office. but pretty girl say he in office. she doesnt know cos she never communicate. i call him last night to talk so i know. we have communication.

few seconds later,

he: if i see her husband, i must communicate with him. i will ask him, hi how are you.. what's your number?

hahahahahahahaha. stupid guy. and stupid pretty girl. hmphhhh.

project [abn]

this project sucks, but my team doesn't! heh. by team, PM is not included. naveen, who has worked with me for mda, is hilarious! he cracks silly jokes about pretty girl. ha! and i've reinstated her nicknames. TOW, pretty girl, bitch and i told them about the "cover ur bloody face with ur bloody scarf" hahahahahaha.

anyway, naveen cracked alot of jokes and im beginning to love him! not literally, but i didnt really like him during mda's times cos he was slow and forever telling me this and that cannot be done. and we concluded, she's still this bitchy cos her husband is not doing his bed duties! she comes up with different patterns everyday, like asking us to come in at 830 but she doesnt appear till 9+, telling us the users complained we knock off at 6 sharp when which f-ing user would do that?! goodness.

thank god we have naveen to make us laugh! he really has the cheek to say funny things to pretty girl!

she: naveen, where's the contact memo?
nav: contact memo....contact naveen lah.

nav: this issue u added, the deadline is 14th oct, but i havent joined this company yet..
she: oh.. *keeps quiet*
me: *burst out laughing*

pretttttttty girl pretty girl. dunoe wad to say about u..perhaps ur husband isn't satisfying you or perhaps you are just this bitchy. i dont know.

but meanwhile, please cover your bloody face with your bloody scarf ya? and i can see you really like your two eyeshadow makeup alot. yucks.

the [d] challenge.

as expected, i didnt get in lah. but i thought at least an email to inform me was the least tnp could do. or perhaps they were one of the missed calls i had while i was away. anyway, i didnt have the fate to meet these people and i shall live with it.

rockclimbing was goooooood yesterday and the guys were of a younger age group, comparing to the uncles at gokon dinners. good thing i was paired up with one too. jay and his fren ish not bad! ha. april's interested in his fren, so i shall not fight with her. i cant believe jay loves flowers. like omg. ha. seriously! still waiting for the pictures from the organisers and champagne jsg is more personalised den sdu, i feel. the initially pairing up of us was done discreetly in the first ice breaking game and they take pictures! i dont see sdu taking pictures of their dinners and events.

and its monday tmr again. hmphs. sianness. i wan my happy workdays again. =(

b.a.c.k.

siem reap was...fun with my girls! any longer than 3d2n would be a torture cos there isn't much to explore in this small city which is also the 2nd poorest city in the world? waking up at 4+ in the morning for 3 consecutive days wasn't easy too! spent 2 times more den my estimated 80usd =(

and i came back probably 1 tone tanner AGAIN. just when im losing my tan from kayaking.

and work isn't all that fun anymore. so much so that im dreading to go to work and seriously wanting to quit. i dont see any point in me being in abn full time doing testings and creating test records just becos of lazy people that exists. pls don't have the cheek to tell me you have never tested YOUR stuffs becos u dont have time, and i catch you facebook-ing on the other hand. and fyi, i dont intend to become some QA test analyst in future, so it doesnt mean i'm a good tester just because i was exceptionally strict with mda.

where is my rich handsome bf when i needs him! hmphs..

tnp's [d] challenge

alicia smsed me in the morning that she saw me in tnp! kinda weird seeing myself in the papers although it was a small pic.. i kinda expected 20 to be shortlisted instead of just 8.. so my chance is 50% but! who the hell would pay 20 cents to vote for a stranger?! i wouldnt. and i leave it to fate whether i get into the top 8. and whether the doctor and lawyer gets in too. i pray for the doctor please? ha.

another.impulsive.moment.

i answered the 5 questions..chose my 2 pictures..and hesistated for minutes whether to click that send button. no idea why i was so enthusiastic initially to join this [d] challenge. i sent it anyhow, all in the name of fun. not that there were any prizes, but i was in more for the fun and making friends. and! i panicked when i saw the email that i got shortlisted. like seriouslyyyyy panicked! especially when they want my erm, so humbly humble vital stats.

and the email from the new paper -

1. Should you be chosen as the final 8, there are several things to note:
There is a makeover photoshoot session on Monday 16 Nov, 7pm. Hair, makeup and wardrobe will be provided for the shoot.We'll have experts to tell us how best to enhance your look, so you'll look the best in every situation.But before that, we would need you to head down to The Body Shop to meet with their expert, so we can speak to her about the type of makeup and skincare routine that'll suit you. This is LIKELY to happen Friday 13 Nov, 7pm.

2. We'll be sending your photos to the hairdresser too and he'll be giving his opinion too. He might want to trim your hair or color it (but we've stressed that it has to be natural and not alter your appearance too radically, unless you permit it). If you're required to trim your hair, this is likely to happen on Thurs 12 Nov, around 7pm too.

Both times, there will be a The New Paper (TNP) photographer present to capture the behind the scenes moment too.Then, I'll need your sizes (chest, waist, hips, height) so our stylist ZH (who has styled The New Paper New Face since 2003, and celebrities such as Zoe Tay, Huang Biren, Joanne Peh, Jesseca Lui, Dawn Yeoh, Pierre Png and Christopher Lee, just to name a few) can selected the appropriate selection from Topman (for guys) or Dorothy Perkins (for girls).

sounds exciting huh. and thank god they emphasized on being natural. makeup absolutely does not blend in well on a tanned skin like mine. sunday's the new paper! OMGGGGGG

project red tomato failed! hah. stupid me and some red tomato.

thatsuddenimpulse.

went to marina, played the arcades, came out and passed by chapter 2. hesistatedddd and ha, told myself i'd cut my hair if they're available. and true enough they were! 2nd time cutting my hair shorrrrt with chapter 2. and i so miss my longgggg hair now.

me and my itchy backside and that impulsive split second resulted in ......

this. ha. so short.

but nvm, i look like even younger now!

steamboat at rachel's

sooooooooooooo pretty. each mosaic tile was carefully pieced!

blading mates.

the weekly blading mates.
the girls! =)

my 3 minutes enthusiasm

went blading for 3 consecutive days and im achingggggg. all over. from my arms all the way down to my toes. weather was good without the strong blazing sun these few days even at 1+ pm yday.. mr d. said he hasnt blade for 10 yrs, but he still ended up so pro.

even mr cs. is catching up, fast! dammit. when i am still tryin to figure out how one leg in front can make one more stable? and not screaming every now and then. sorry lah, but i cant help screaminggggg for help hor. even a twig on the floor makes me...wobble. today's session was the longest ever.. from mac to fort road, and then to the skate park. 2 months later, we can go changi village le! hah.

i should make it a point to blade alone when im more pro with my braking and balancing..like jieying said, its nice to be thinking of anything under the sun while blading. and i agree. i do like that moments of blading leisurely alone, thinking of stuffs or emoing. good ME time.
