I swear I've never viewed sooo many flats in one day before.

I think we went to 6 or 7 units. Lost count. My goshhh!

Lucky donkey kong drove..or it would have been crazy trying to get around in the constant rain.

Saw some units which were not bad, but the prices are all fairly steep..really not sure if it's wise paying so much for a hdb flat. I think add a little more can buy condo liao lor. Ohwells. Probably we'll be viewing more in the days to come..nothing that really shouted "buy me!!" at us. Haha.

And I honestly think my mum is right about donkey kong being a good catch. Lol. He's a really nice guy and very gentlemanly to boot..just that he has a gf already. She's a lucky girl! Not that it's my business, of course. My mum just likes to be kaypoh. I can't decide to be annoyed or amused. Hahaha.

Ohh! There was this conversation going on between my boss, mb and I during our lunch break at ubin yesterday. The boss was asking something about my boyfriend, so I said I don't have one currently. And then the conversation went something like this:

boss: "Hey mb, find geraldine a nice burmese guy leh!"
mb: "For what? Don't need la, there's me!"
me: *trying not to laugh*
boss: "You?? No la cannot! You're too playboy!"
mb: *speechless*
me: *laughing non stop*

Apparently mb must have been pretty affected by the "playboy" term, cos' he was trying to convince me today that it's not true. He just happens to be a ladies' guy. HAHA.

I'm really damn amused la. He was so cute about it. =p

And I'm looking foward to our KL trip! =D

Shucks, it feels as though I'm falling sick again. Really praying hard that I won't..I think I've been sick enough this year to last me a lifetime! =x

Mira and I are sooo going shopping once pay is in! I am in total need of some retail therapy mans. We've been planning and thinking about what to buy. Hahaha.

And dim joy with her, glenn and mb soooon! I cannot wait! Wanna fulfil my dimsum craving and just do dinner together, the four of us. =))

On a sidenote, seems like mb might be fairly serious about it after all..since he told me that he's been doing alot of thinking. I guess our concerns are pretty similar. Haha. Don't know what's next, since our conversations keep getting interrupted. Shall just wait and see.

It's been a tiring weekend..let's hope I can claim time off next sat and stay home to slack. Since I had to forego my rest day yesterday!

And coco avant chanel with the office bestie soon! =)

Extreme heat. Rockwall. Tree snake. Hilarity. Exhaustion. Lights. Mayday. Supper.

Short summary of my day. Haha. And now for the detailed one..

Overslept this morning so I cabbed to the changi point ferry terminal..the boss and mb ended up being late; I should have just taken the bus down instead.

Prayed for no rain, but my prayers must have been too effective; the sun was totally beating down on us laa. I now have very ugly tan lines and a slightly sunburnt nose. Not to mention, worse complexion. Doesn't help that my dayima already contributes to unsightly complexion every month this time. =x

Photoshoot went pretty well! Finished according to schedule..and kinda had extra time left over.

Pity, I didn't get a chance to try the rockwall. Miss the sec 3 adventure camp days!

Quite alot of entertainment from the rest as well. I didn't realise my boss can be so full of nonsense. Hahaha.

Was so hot and exhausted and sticky from the weather; the moment I reached home, showered and settled down, it was almost time to leave for the mayday concert la.

And it was great! Even though at the start, the group members seemed as though they needed more time to warm up.

Should have just paid more and gotten really good front row tickets or something. The location of our seats were good, being smack in the centre of the entire stadium and decent enough to make out the members. The only problem being, the projector was right in front of us and so blocked the screen a little.

It was complete fun getting high and singing along and yelling and whatnot..shioks!

Okay..I am really damn bloody exhausted. Cos' I'm dozing off even as I'm typing this, and my sentences so far probably didn't make much sense. The head hurts too. =( At least the cramps were under control today...thankfully.

Really need to K.O. Long day tomorrow again....

It's a nice feeling to know you're missed. =)

And I thought I could finally have a good weekend break with nothing to do with work.

Mans..how wrong can I get?

In about 6 hours, I gotta be up and about to attend a full-day photoshoot. Arghhh!

I just want a much-needed break...why do I have to go!!

It's almost stupid that I can answer my own question. Cos' I'm the coordinator and the one who scheduled it. Sighhh.

And to make things worse, my dayima came today. Those who know my ailments well should also know that this will spell certain doom for me tomorrow..imagine being stuck on some ulu offshore island, having cramps and wilting under the hot sun. And praying hard that things won't go wrong during the shoot.

Now, I'm praying harder that the cramps will stay away, and I won't puke. =(

Some kind of weekend this is turning out to be...ohwells.

I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow and my dayima is nice to me tooo.

Armed with my arsenal of panadol.

I left office at a very amazing hour today. 8pm!! Shioks or what? Haha.

Nick picked me up and we had indian cuisine for dinner! The food was pretty good, but I suddenly miss the butter chicken back from the days of working in SSC. Lol. That was really heaven!

Of course, there's a price to pay for leaving so early today. Brought work home to do, and I'm only halfway through. Still need to trudge through lotsa pages tomorrow. Ohwells.

Was supposed to have a very happening TGIF after work tomorrow, but my hopes are dashed now..nevermind la, at least the sushi dinner still stands.

Lies complicate simple matters. Why not just tell the truth? And no one will be hurt.

Felt really good to just walk along ecp like old times and talk about anything and everything under the sun. Nick's probably still one of the only people I can really communicate with. I've missed the days we used to hang out often. =)

And I'm coming to realise that our worlds are simply too different, and expectations too varied as well. It's not working out as we both hoped I guess, and probably will never really do. Strangely, there's a certain form of relief at not bothering much anymore. When you try too hard sometimes, murphy's law comes into place.

I don't want to hope for anything anymore. Everytime I give up and don't care, something or someone will come along and make me change my mind. But eventually I'll just forget it and go back to square one. I think that's where I belong actually.

Finally the weekend's coming..not many many plans in place, but still, I'm looking forward to it after 16-hour work days this week. Time for a break. =)

Okays..back to my vetting for now...

Exhausted.

Wonderful..1.15am in the morning and I'm blogging from office.

I'm slowly but surely breaking my record time spent in office. Let's see what will it be tonight. 2am? 3am?

The medicine effect is starting to kick in and the wooziness from this afternoon is coming back. Promised mira I wouldn't drink anymore coffee, so..I probably need to slap myself awake.

Can't understand why the clients don't seem to have to go home. Is our office so much better than their home?

I miss my bed. And I'm super tiredd. And I have a presentation tomorrow. Ohh fuck.

Suddenly ended up with alot of food, cos' I didn't eat what I brought for teabreak (since lunch was late). And the guys bought dinner back for rina and I, but nick didn't know and he bought me dinner too. Delivered right to my office doorstep, except it's now sitting in the fridge cos' I'm too full.

And it's my favourite ipoh hor fun from old town white coffee toooo.

Nevermind, tomorrow's breakfast and lunch are settled. Yays.

I wanna go home..I need to sleep..I want them all gone from office...arghhhh.

My poor colleagues have it worse. It's gotta be the 2nd/3rd week in a row they're staying till the wee hours. Why are we working our asses off man..it's not like we even get OT pay. Or I'd be rich already.

I'm turning into a panda faster than you can say "panda".

And there's no one to walk me down tonight. =(

Actually I don't really care also la. Sometimes I find that the more I care about something, the more likely it doesn't work out the way it might actually have. So I shall just not bother anymore. No energy to care also.

Exhausted.

In the end, I really didn't get shut-eye last night. Whatever could be considered as some form of sleep at all, probably didn't add up to anywhere near an hour.

Ended up at the doc's again for the upteenth time in a month..where I was given drowsy medicine and antibiotics. Plus an mc.

Intended to go into office to tie up some loose ends then go home, but I ended up staying all the way. Kept dozing off and at one point, I really just put my head down and fell asleep. Thank god for understanding colleagues..bb even bought me lunch to eat after I woke up.

Really zombified to the max. I still feel abit lost now. Ha.

And amazingly, left office when the sun was still hanging low in the sky. Or rather, I was forced to.

I think a lack of sleep plus plenty of project stress pushes me over the edge. Had a very annoyed conversation with my rude sister over the phone, then I sat down on the floor and cried. Ohmans.

Nothing very serious though..I tend to get more emo when I'm sick, and just releasing pent-up stress. An sms made me feel better almost instantly. =)

I was just wondering..how on earth does he survive with so little sleep? Totally unbelievable..it's either no sleep at all, or just 2-3 hours a night. And today's the 2nd week running. That silly boy told me it takes alot to make him sick, but at the rate he's going..even a machine would need a doctor.

Okays..I think I'm going to K.O. really early tonight. Then see if I still need to go on mc tomorrow. Totally not looking forward to this week at all. Sighh.

Can the weekend faster come?

i scribbled at
7:49 PM

My god. It's freaking almost 3am in the morning and I'm still awake.

Been tossing and turning and coughing for the past hour plus, and I just can't get to sleep cos' my throat is bloody hurting to the max! I just want something to numb the pain..one whole week of this every single night isn't very fun. And tonight's the worst. ARGHHH.

Sighh. Figured I might as well vent my frustrations somewhere since no matter how hard I try, I can't catch any shut-eye and the absurd pain won't go away. Wonder if I'll be up all night. =(

Had a pretty good day, considering the crazy workaholic week I've had the last 6 days.

Caught the proposal with mb, and it's a cute show! Funny enough..I like it. =) But for girls who are going to watch it with guys..you'll probably be faced with a similar scenario like this:

mb: "Women's time are so over man. Now it's the men who rule!"
me: "No! When it comes to this, the guy still has to propose."
mb: "Who says so!"
me: "ME."

And on and on we continued bickering about it. Lol. In fact, during the part of the movie where sandra bullock goes on her knees to propose to ryan reynolds, mb turned to me and said, "Are you going to do that later?". In his dreams man. HAHA.

We saw some filipino talent contest or whatever at plaza sing; there was this group of dancers who caught mb's attention. Could tell he was itching to dance and really missed his days with his fellow dancers. Haha. Would love to catch him in action on stage actually..I hope he gets to form a new group soon!

And it was raining again! Don't know why it always rains when I go out with him.

Met up with bern and the guys for supper..although all I did was drink my hot drink, bridge a little, yak to bern alot and cough my lungs out. Haha. It was good to meet everyone again! Feels like I haven't had a life for awhile now. And bern's flying to china tomorrow!! No one for me to tell stories to for the next week. =x

Nick was so sweet, he bought me like 3 bottles of different kinds of liang drinks from those medical halls..damn alot la. So, one each for my mum and sis too. Lol.

The week ahead is going to be all photoshoots..and more photoshoots..don't even know if I'll get to see him. He did say he'll try and drop by office but..haha. It doesn't matter la. That's the nature of his job so, too bad!

At least I have my office bestie around to keep me sane. =))

And my throat is still killing me. Is there some way, any way at all to numb it? Then maybe I can still catch like 4 hours of sleep before starting off my blue monday. I already feel so damn blue before the sun has risen.

Don't know how am I going to do the presentation on wednesday when I get into a coughing fit like once every 10 minutes or so. I'm finding it harder to keep talking all at one go now..

Maybe I should visit my doc again. I'm totally like a regular there already; they should just give me a discount seriously.

Still thinking whether or not to join the stanchart marathon. Bern and I were discussing earlier; we both wanna run a marathon, but aren't sure if we can complete one. So the eventual consensus went something like, if cannot complete then nevermind, try again next time. But knowing ourselves, we will want to complete it no matter what. Just don't know how the day's performance will turn out. So oxymoronic hor. Haha. In the end? Still no conclusion. =p

I'm like just blogging about every single damn thing cos' I very obviously can't sleep still. It's driving me insane...I want to sleep...basketttt. I might really just take mc tomorrow, get more medicine and sleep my day away. I cannot tahan this!! Hurts so much to cough but I can't not cough. Then I cough till I start tearing and wanna puke. F**k mans. My throat is probably ruined.

Okay I'll just see what I can do to knock myself out.

Goodnights morning world.

That last post was so angsty! So was the one before it. Haha. Thank goodness I've cooled down.

Came to some sort of a truce with my mum over the topic which so angered me last night.

I'm almost amazed that she saw my POV and agreed that maybe she was being a little too specific and stereotypical in pointing fingers. But I'm glad that we came to a common understanding. For now, that is.

Hope it lasts. I can tell she's trying, cos' she wouldn't have bothered before. So I shall try too. Promise.

Was wondering earlier if I might have to cancel tomorrow's date cos' of work..but yays, I don't have to! Heck the proj for tomorrow la..I deserve a break after a full 6 days of shit. We all do, actually. Shall dive back into that abyss on monday. =x

Mb has it worse actually..no idea what time he'll be working till tonight, and tomorrow evening they still have a photoshoot.

We're different in so many ways..I don't know if there's any chance of anything remotely working out. Coming from different worlds..different lifestyles..languages..friends..activities..idealogies..makes you wonder how to ever close the gap.

But the silver lining is knowing that I have added another person to my list of friends. And not just acquaintances or strangers anymore. Just like my office bestie and I! Love her to bits..haha. Thank god for her presence, or I'd have gone mad this week. =)

One thing I've realised though; I have this thing for athletic guys, no kidding. Haha! Sounds damn bimbo to say it out, but I don't care. It's trueee! I think sporty guys are damn cool..and they typically lead a balanced lifestyle I suppose? What with keeping fit and managing stress and whatever not. LOL.

And ohh, bonus points for guys who can dance. Reallyyy well. =p

I am just so full of nonsense, ignore me. Hahaha.

Maybe it's knowing that tomorrow is finally a day I can have a good break..just go out and relax and not have to be spammed with emails, scolded by people from all directions and worrying about the looming deadline.

Ohh shit, I just remembered that I have a presentation on Wednesday! Honestly, I think I haven't done any since nbs days. Goodness gracious. Let's hope I don't fail my boss. =x

Almost have half a mind not to go to the movies tomorrow since I'm still coughing my lungs out..it gets so bad that I simply cough for a full 10mins or something. Scaring even myself. Imagine if that happened in the cinema, I think all the moviegoers will siam me can.

Don't know why the medicine isn't working. And I'm really taking two types of cough syrup. Lol. Maybe I should add pi pa gao to the list tooo.

A gazillion pple I badly wanna catch up with; work is turning me into an ultra boring girl! Can't wait for the OT days to end and my social life to come back. And also cannot wait for the stupid cough to be gone so that I can start running and blading again!

Pretty much have my heart set on realrun; see if I can get my office bestie to join tooo. Gm and mb will most likely agree. Then the 4 of us can run together! Coool! =))

I hope things are looking up at last, for everyone.

Some kind of work week this is...it's 7.40pm on a freaking saturday night and I've been at work since 9.15am. Like wtf??

As though the 14-16hr work days everyday this week hasn't been enough. I really hate it when you throw this fact into the client's face, telling him that everyone has been working till the wee hours daily and even on a saturday now, ALL BECAUSE OF THEM, and that we have families to go home to, and all he can say is:

"true true."

Like hello?! Can't you do better than that?

And then you have this other person, EXTREMELY instrumental to the project, who decides to fly home just DAYS before the final deadline. When he hasn't fulfilled his promises on what he needs to do, and simply pushes my deadlines every single day, right up till the time he has to board the plane and is now sitting snugly at home on another continent.

What the hell is their problem!!! For god's sake, he has to be like more than twice my age, and he doesn't understand what responsibility to a project is? He's bloody being PAID for doing this can. My designers and myself don't even have OT pay. I think each of us this week has easily put in over 80 hours of work individually. Just compare it to someone who works 9 to 5; at least twice of that for the whole week!!

It's plain madness la. I just wanna keep ranting. Rina was steaming mad when we finally walked out to eat lunch-cum-dinner earlier. While waiting for a client to turn up. Which of course, he didn't in the end. Surprise surprise. *rolls eyes*

I am really pissed beyond my threshold. My designers are frustrated and tired and everyone's patience is wearing thin. They take it out on me, fine. Then my client talks shit and doesn't do anything to help speed up the process. Then the bosses also give you hell. And I take every single bloody thing in because: I am the AE.

Fuck them all la.

I am beyond caring who reads my blog or what the hell I've just typed. We'd better be able to go home before the sun rises.

To make things worse, I've been coughing as though I'm terminally ill, doubled over, tearing and almost puking.

How to get enough rest to recover? Tell me la.

I just want this fucked up project to end. And NEVER SERVICE THIS CLIENT AGAIN.

My mum just said something that totally pissed me off. And I was in such a good mood before that too.

I don't understand why the fuck does she have to always bloody jump to conclusions about things, events, people. Especially people whom she has never fucking met before, and totally has no right to judge.

What is her problem?!

Will it kill her to just let me take things slow and see how it progresses? Why must she make such derogatory comments about someone who's a complete stranger to her?! She doesn't even fucking know him, what right does she have to make all those ugly and unfair comments!!

I'm almost ashamed of her words and actions at times.

Even if what she says turns out to be true over time, I don't give a damn now. Cos' if that's the case, I will be the one to find it out on my own. And not for her to decide when she has never even seen a shadow of the person.

I hope she eats her words.

What I've said may sound harsh, and totally not the right way to talk about the woman I call my mum.

But if you all actually experience what's it like with her, maybe you'll blog worse.

I am just so damn bloody pissed. Whatever la. She can't stop me from going out with anyone I want to meet. Neither can she decide for me who to date. I-D-O-N-T-C-A-R-E.

My only bright spark now is what he told me.

I'm home early today! And it's not even 10pm. Wheee.

Accompanied mira to settle her things today..so we ended up having a very longggg lunchtime. Of which, only a short period was actually spent on lunch. But it was good! And I had my coffee bean coffee. Yays. =)

Finally saw a doctor this morning before going into office..I seriously have no idea where I caught the throat inflammation from. But at least the medicine seems to be working abit..my throat hurts lesser now! Means I can finally sleep tonight.

Still coughing like crazy though..the coughing fits are so bad that they make me turn tomato-red and start tearing. My god. It's super embarrassing when this happens in public..people probably think I have some incurable disease. =x

Mb called just now and told me he bought me cough syrup. Haha. Such a sweetie..I didn't have the heart to tell him I saw the doc today and already have cough syrup. So tomorrow I'll overdose on double cough syrup la. Lol.

Feels like I haven't had a life this week..what with all the ridiculous OT. I wanna go out and shop and play and eat! Planned so many yummy food outings with mira, but don't know when they'll materialise. Haha.

Arghh the coughing fits are driving me nuts!! Just as well clubbing this sat is cancelled..and I was looking forward to it toooo. Can't help it if the girls are not that into clubbing. At least I have a new clubbing gang. =p

Don't even think I can do icecream buffet this weekend liao. Sighh.

Came back earlier today! Worked till 11ish as compared to 1.30am yesterday..was falling asleep at my table and kinda figured it was a sign to just pack up and go home. Heck the workload and the client!

The throat's still nowhere better..if anything, it's gotten worse. Sighh. I don't wanna spend another week sickkk... =x

The boss was so cute this morning! He excitedly came in with a stack of newspapers and gave each of us one. Apparently, a half-page article talking about his SOE nomination was featured! And the company photo taken last week was published too..so cool, first time in my life I'm actually on the papers! Even if it isn't straits times, and I'm not the subject topic. Lol.

Have been smiling like a silly goose again. Haha. I almost tripped laughing when mb told me that "we should get to know each other better!". Sounds damn corny, but it was really cuteee. =p

I don't know how we're going to curb the language and communication barrier, seeing as how I'm such a jia kantang..it's like all my witty remarks and sarcasm are lost on him. And having to communicate otherwise actually makes me lost. I guess my strength in language is somehow my security blanket. And not being able to use it makes me feel...vulnerable. Lol.

For now though, it's funnier than it's frustrating. Hahaha. Let's see how long we can keep this up..keeping my fingers crossed that communication across language barriers won't fail me this time!

Okays I'm reallyyy sleepy..can only imagine how my poor colleagues are feeling. Probably gonna be another all-nighter for them..

Someday, we'll let you talk and listen to me. Promise. =)

Really a very blue monday today..got a lashing which I guess I kinda deserved. And to make things worse..my headache and sore throat from yesterday hasn't cleared! To top it off..I'm now coughing. Again.

Ohh shit. =(

I need to vet 16pages of vietnamese..but my head hurts and I'm freezing my ass off.

At least there are still pple in office too..

AHM half-marathon: completed!! =D

Wasn't so chipper this morning though..I thought I wouldn't even make it to the start. Just before nick picked me up, I had gastric. Urghh. Really ultra suay..don't even know why when I had breakfast!

Didn't get better as we were walking to the start line. I was super tempted to just turn back and not run at all. Think I gave him quite a scare when everyone else looked so hyped up to run, while I looked like I was dying even before reaching the start point. Lol.

Couldn't rendevous with bern and jc cos' I left my phone in the car..and we kinda reached there late. Started running after the flag-off time and seriously, if nick didn't run alongside me, I probably would have fallen into some ditch and died. HAHA.

Feel kinda bad that I screwed up his timing though..he ran with me more than half the way before taking off ahead since I was better. Whee. And to be honest, I'm not completely sure how I made it, but I ran all the way this time! I couldn't even do that for the passion run the last time..but apart from stopping at water points, I didn't walk at all. =))

Maybe nick telling me the wrong time worked. Haha. Somewhere at the halfway mark I asked him for the time, and he told me 8am. I almost fainted can. That would mean nearly 3 hours since we started! And only halfway! I kind of panicked. Lol. It turns out that he gave me the wrong timing after all..I think it was only 6ish or 7 then. -_-

At any rate! Eventual timing was below 3 hours I think..damn happy! Passion run was slow until it couldn't be slower, so I'm really quite proud of myself for pushing on all the way this time. =D

But now I have cui-ed knees and I feel like a cripple. Lol. Hurts to the max laa. At least the ankle not as problematic this time..looks like I gotta lay off heels tomorrow. Haha.

It was super ridiculous after the run though. I was supposed to meet nick at some area, but we just couldn't find each other! In the end I walked back to the MS carpark, hoping that he would have the common sense to wait there. But just as I was afraid of..he really got worried that I fainted halfway or something, so he searched for me for damn long. It was near 2 hours before he finally went to the car park and saw me. Phew!

Wondering now if I should register for the stanchart half marathon, or be crazy and go for the full marathon. Less than 4 months to the race event..if I do full, I wanna complete in under 6 hours leh. Nick's aiming for 5..so I guess I should aim for...5.5hrs? But this one really must train. All my races so far, inadequate training. Lol. I've been lucky..

Okays need to go for dinner soooon! Dedicated such a long post to the AHM..guess I'm still not really over the fact that I managed to complete it within a decent timing. Yays! =))

Sometimes I just don't understand why there are people out there who don't believe that a guy and a girl can simply share nothing more than a platonic relationship.

Okay, maybe not totally disbelieve; but when you get into a relationship, does it mean all other friendships with members of the opposite sex have to end?

I don't know..to me, as long as my bf and other girls aren't close until people think they're a couple, it's not an issue. And as long as I know who the close female friends in his life are, that's good enough for me. And vice versa.

I guess some girls just can't accept it. Same goes for guys, actually.

I'm really kind of tired when I have to worry if my friends' girlfriends wonder if I'm a little too chummy with their bfs. Mans..I mean, whatever happened to honesty and mutual trust? Can't I even meet up with my good friends without them having to be concerned that their gfs are less than happy?

I can safely say that I'm very clear where the lines are. I don't overstep my boundaries, especially not with male friends who are attached. Also with male friends who are not attached.

I hate such issues. They annoy the hell out of me.

Ranting not because something happened. Rather, this just kinda occurred to me and I felt like airing my views. Ohwells.

Half marathon at an ungodly 5.30am tomorrow; I'm just going to walk and not care anymore. I didn't train for it anyways..especially not with that long bout of flu. And the best part is, I have this ouch bruise on my foot! I think some girl with really sharp heels stepped on me on the dancefloor last night. =x

Wondering if I should ask mb out tomorrow..I figure it's easier to talk during the weekend than a workday? Then again..maybe I'll be zombified after the run/walk tomorrow. Still kinda tiredd after all that dancing last night. I actually feel like I did some much-needed workout. Lol.

And I'm going to get insufficient sleep again tonight..seeing as how I need to wake at 4ish, I don't see how I'm going to get my 8hours of beauty sleep.

Okays it felt good to rant and just blog about nothing in particular. I hope I can complete the run tomorrow. By walking. =p

Goshh it's so darn early in the morning already! Got home not long from a night of clubbing with the colleagues...one word to describe it all: FUN!

And I have a new favourite club! Hahaha. Nevermind that the crowd there is kinda young; I loveeee the music at rebel! Super dance-able and totally rocks! =)))

I think this has gotta be the first time I'm really clubbing; as in, soaking in the actual atmosphere and all. I love dancing! Even if I have two left feet. Lol.

The guys opened so many bottles..I can't even recall what was there in the dark. I only recall vodka and champagne..the champagne was pretty decent! Waaaay better than the ones I've drunk at wedding dinners. Haha..needless to say, I hardly drank much. This is what happens when you have an ultra disgusting tolerance for alcohol. In other words, zero. My tummy is starting to feel upset already... =x

Someone told me something that really made my night though. And said it twice. I don't know how happy to feel for now..will think about it again after we talk. =)

I'm kinda starting to stone..better knock out soon before dawn arrives. Doubt I'll be up early tomorrow. Haha.

And so..what will it be?..

Went out with lings today with the mentality to shop till we I drop.

In the end, I think she shopped enough for us both. Hahaha. Especially all the baby stuffs! The only purchases I have to show off after spending no less than 8 hours at orchard, are lip balm and lip gloss. So sad can!

8 hours at orchard sounds scary. I spent my entire afternoon and night at ION, isetan and taka. Lol. Thank god I wasn't wrong about the shaw house carpark charging per entry! Or I would probably end up paying 20bucks for parking or something. Freaky thought!

Ahh crap. I forgot to go NUM to buy my havaianas. And also forgot to find accessorize to buy pretty hats/berets. =(

Anyways, ION orchard basement is really a food haven! Especially jap food..yums! Lunch was settled by eating all those street food. Hahaha. The shopping is pretty great too! Huge to the maxx..me loves sephora! And the toilet is damn chio. Lol.

While waiting for nick to arrive in town to meet me for dinner, I was in gerald kor's car following them to forum when nick called and said he was reaching in 3mins. Dots. Haha. And everyone in the car was listening to my conversation, which went something like this:

me: "So what do you wanna eat? You decide k, I don't wanna think! I hate deciding where to eat."
nick: "Huh I don't know. What do you want to eat? Burger King can?"
me: "No I don't want Burger King! I don't wanna eat fastfood."
*everyone in the car starts laughing*

Apparently, I displayed the typical girl syndrome of telling the guy to decide where to eat, and when he does decide on a place, I refuse to eat there. Lol.

Dinner was at asian kitchen..the food is pretty good! I like the duckkk. Haha. Never eaten there before..it's a slightly cheaper version of soup restaurant. Speaking of which, I miss the soup and samsui ginger chicken. =x

Ohh! Lings and I were eyeing the burberry kids' section in isetan, and I couldn't resist checking out this super cute mehmeh sitting on a shelf. While waiting for the salesgirl to check out the price, the two of us were guessing how much that little burberry sheep cost.

me: "Hmm..$70?"
lings: "Erm..$140?"
salesgirl: *walks back to us* "It's $140, and after 50% discount, $70."
(it's a really small stuffed sheep by the way. *baaaa*)

So we were both right! Hahaha. I swear I was super tempted to buy that attas mehmeh for my little unborn niece/nephew. But the price tag abit killer. Lol.

It's so adorable though!!

I like the little burberry mehmeh. =x

Okay change topic before I go crazy and really buy that sheep.

Yay I like my chocalatey brown toenails! Prefer painting my toenails cos' it's too low for pple to notice how bad a job I've done painting them. Haha. Unlike fingernails..I end up using more nail polish remover than anything else.

Lunch at a teochew restaurant tomorrow to celebrate mummy's birthday! Hope the food will be good..heard pretty decent reviews about the place.

I am sooo awake, I don't know why! It's as if I don't wanna waste a precious second of this long weekend. I know I'll be very sian tomorrow cos' the next day is a work day though...ohwells.

At least I made nick realise where and what is ION orchard. Haha! I swear that guy's such a computer geek, he can't even pronounce names of famous brands. I had a laughing fit listening to him try out all the different names. Lol. But wells..I also provide him lots of entertainment with my suaku-ness about all things IT and electronic. =p

This has been such a random post. Shall go to bed soon..goodnights!

Had a rather intense "bidding" session earlier. Haha.

My mum suddenly called me today while I was trying to collect the AHM race kit..and told me that she was going to offer for this particular 4-room that caught her eye. Stunned to the max when she said the seller was asking for 40k above valuation. That's damn alot can!

I swear my mum has never ever indicated much interest in offering anything over 20plus thousand for any house so far. Really shocked me! Of course, I had to go take a look at the flat that called out to her so much.

Apparently there was this other interested buyer..to cut a long story short, we were all supposed to rendevous in the evening to decide which buyer would get the house.

The complicated issue arose when the seller wanted to hold on to the flat longer after paperwork would be done in 3months or so. And because of that, we offered slightly lower than the other buyer, but agreed to let the current owner stay longer. Fair what, right?

The reallyyy messy part came in when the seller decided they didn't want to hold on to the flat after all. So they gave each of us (buyers) a plain piece of paper, and told us to write down the final amount cash above valuation we would be willing to pay.

After a lonngggg discussion..and some really gentlemanly sacrifice from our agent DK (let's call him donkeykong, though I doubt he'd appreciate it much =p).....we lost by 1k.

.............

But I don't regret it. Haha. In fact, I think the successful buyer is dumb for offering so much. Now that I think about it...hengggg we didn't win the bid. It would have been ridiculous to pay so damn much over and above the valuation la. The house isn't worth that much, really.

I think playing too much bridge has made me abit more willing to take risk. Lol. Part of the reason why I persuaded my mum to bid higher was because I wanted the other buyer to up their bid. HAHA. Damn bitch right. To play around with so much money. Imagine if we lost (though I was pretty confident). =p But the seller also damn ass. If they were playing a fool of us...then the successful buyer has been supremely dumb.

Okay no one probably gets what I'm saying, but it doesn't matter. I'm so glad we didn't win the bid! =D

And I'm starting to see donkeykong in a different light. He's really not too bad a guy after all. =p

Whatever it is..I just wanna hurry up and find a new place to shift to la. Hearing my mum's grouses does get on my nerves. And I do want my own room. BIG room.

Going to catch UP in 3D later! Late late show..and very last minute also. Hahaha. Yays! =))

Caught public enemies with shan just now! I just totally love johnny depp. Hahaha.

Thought it was a pretty good show..only realised that it's adapted from a true story when I was talking to pin's ex-colleague on the train on my way there. He told me to google "john dillinger" after watching the movie, and I did! Pretty interesting history on this bank robber during the great depression.

Can't believe shan fell asleep though. Haha. I thought it was astounding that rina fell asleep when she watched the film..despite all the gunfire and blah. Shan's conclusion was that the sound effects weren't powerful enough. That, and the seat was really comfy. Lol.

Seldom see johnny depp in such a serious role..but I think he's damn suitable for this! I like it. Worth my $10.50. =D

So many many shows I wanna catch! There's up..that I gotta watch in 3D, I don't care. Just a few bucks more onlyyy. Then there's also the hangover, which rina says is totally hilarious and a must-watch. And bb says overheard is not bad toooo. I'm undecided. Haha.

Office undergoing a huge transformation in my dept's area..I wonder where my table will end up at. Ohwells, I'll know tomorrow after going into office.

Supposedly a long weekend ahead even though tomorrow's a working saturday..but what I'm really dreading is the next work week to come. Gonna be full of sai and alot of headaches..sometimes I just don't understand why clients must make everyone's life so difficult.

What's so tough about approving a chunk of text so that we can get on with the project? It's totally unfair to drop a f**king tight deadline on us that hardly anyone can work with. We scramble like crazy to barely meet the deadline, and they don't do their part. And they keep asking for discount. Where's the fairness in all these? Can't they just use their heads to think..arghhh.

Sometimes, I really hate being the middleman. The person who has to put up with shit from both clients and designers. They think for themselves and point fingers all across, but who thinks for AEs like me?

Moral of the story: always put yourself into the shoes of someone else. To kill a mockingbird really taught me this concept well. I should make them ALL read it.

Ohwells. That's working life.

Okays. Enough rantings for now. Like it or not, it's still my ricebowl so...chillaxxxxx.

I feel a headache coming. =x

Wanted to catch the musical Sing Dollar with rina after work, but we tried to book tickets too late..didn't have good seats left! Just as well we didn't manage to buy tickets..cos' ended up having to OT till 8pm. =x

Went raffles city with pin and rina for dinner! I wanted to shop at river island, but needless to say, after eating, the shops were closed. Haha.

Dinner at coffee club was yummilicious! Finally got to have decent food after being sick a week..missed my shepard's pie muchhlyy! And dessert was so damn sinful. But like what I always say..if you wanna think about it, don't eat. If you wanna eat, don't think! =p

Surprisingly, robinsons was still open although we only finished dinner close to 10pm..went in to look see and there were so many many gorgeous shoes! Still have quite alot of ongoing sales too. Must shop my fill this weekend with lings! Can't wait to go out with her..it's been way too long!

And I'm ultra happy for lyny! My darling girl got her scholarship and she's leaving siem reap to study for 5 years! Damn excited for her la..really hope that I can get her to come to sg for a trip maybe next year or so..then she can stay with me! Miss her loads! =)

Tomorrow's fridayyyy! This week's been short cos' of my mc and all..haha. But saturday need to work. =( Nevermind..I still have the long weekend to look forward to!

Suddenly feel like I'm in pretty high spirits, though I don't know why. I think I shall dress up for work tomorrow to make myself happier. It's a friday after all! Hope the girls will reply me to see if they wanna catch public enemies...I wanna catch johnny depp in action!

Okays gonna K.O. once my hair dries. Hope my workload tomorrow will give me some breathing space. *cross fingers*

Goodnights world!

Worked from home today!

Never really thought this was possible due to the nature of my jobscope..haha. Was actually planning on returning to office today, but my dear GM was kind of concerned last night over the possibility of me spreading the virus in office, since I'm not fully recovered yet. Lol.

Didn't want to take another day's mc (am totally maxing out my medical leave laa), yet he wasn't too comfortable with me going back, so...brilliant me asked if I could work from home. And he readily agreed! =D

Kinda tedious though..especially since I have no adobe professional software at home, neither do I have a printer. Slowed my pace of work rather significantly, but I still managed to clear some stuffs. And all in the comfort of my own room too. Which is good! =)

Don't think I can continue this luxury tomorrow though. Haha.

Anyhows, a blast from the past hit me today..I guess this one qualifies as a shocking revelation. Things ended so long ago..why still hold on? I really had no idea though..thought we both moved on already. I mean, I know I did. My answer was pretty much in the negative, but I know he'll still try. Ohwells.

I guess him not being there for me when I was at my lowest kind of sealed the conclusion. If he'd told me this way before then, I might have accepted. But when I lost the person dearest to me and all I received was an sms..it pretty much gave me the answer I was looking for.

I suppose back then, I was more the giver than the taker. And ironically, because things still failed eventually, I've become more selfish. Why couldn't I have been more taken care of, doted on, pampered and spoilt silly? I guess deep down, all I want is to be someone's princess, to be loved unconditionally. Too many broken promises which never materialised is really tiring to endure.

I hate being thrown into a whirl out of nowhere and having to deal with the memories and emotions which took me a long time to bury.

Looks like I've gotten my answer.
