Paintball attack

gosh. haven't posted anything for the past week. been swamped with work and more work leaving me with only enough energy to come back home watch Dicey Business then sleep.

but i like my job. seeing the birth of the SQA report is like seeing the birth of my very own baby. loads to tidy up now till mid april but i shall ganbatte!!

chean chean..... think we've infected each other with the shopping bug. mine abit more serious la... spent near 200 bucks on shoes n clothes.. urgh. where??? at................. hougang mall!!can u imagine, in a neighbourhood shopping centre. blame it on the well-equipped malls nowadays and the highly polished shopping skills of mochi san.

but I'm happy to have nice stuff to wear!! heh.

zhe san still in hospital. she's quite disappointed that she would have to give her chalet a miss. supposed to be today. hope she gets well soon and we can plan our next trip! she's my travel kaki leh. jia you tomodachi!

tried paintball yesterday with naz n gang. was actually quite looking forward to it but ended up in a grumpy mood coz of the scorching weather. i re-emphasize...it was burning. HOT. H.O.T. and to carry the heavy gun n squat around in our pants with the perspiration running beneath the pants was no joke. plus the heavy mask over our faces and perspiration trickling beneath the mask... and to top it all, paint all over our sweaty body, pain from the shots and the bruises as a result.

~the result of just 1 hit on my chicken drumstick.. and I was wearing 3/4 jeans capri. pain!~

okay okay, can tell that I don't like it at all. I'll rather go bowling. and oh, did I tell u the cost? it's 50 bucks PER PERSON for like 2 rounds of mission per person which equates to around half an hour in all. it's not bad for a try but i think the pain is just not worth it.. boohoo..anyway for those still interested, can check out http://www.weplaypaintball.com/

the day was saved when me n evil shit bought these 3 for $20 durians near hg mall. it was oishii and cheap! wanted to eat only 1 seed but we ended up sharing 1 box. hahz. yum. sharon san, too bad you weren't here.

Becca's Wedding ~ 22 Mar 2008 ~ KL

back to singapore.. air in KL was really bad and I was sick thru out the trip. lucky already had medication with me and had the privilege of having a doctor around with us during the trip too. ;) ...eh.. not trying to be funny here..a real doc...

Becca looked gorgeous...a stylo bride with a glass of beer in her hands thru out the wedding. it was just so her and so funny n she really loves beer btw. hope I could get most of the pics from the photographer's and chean's camera. didn't have much in mine coz was dancing around most of the time. ha. and my lousy camera dieded on me halfway. sucks! dun blame me for abandoning u k.

but a really unique n fun wedding. first time describing a wedding as FUN! unconventional coz it wasn't those sit down type trying to stuff you with 10 courses. it was free n easy as the couple mixed n mingled freely among the guests and we had a band playing n the dance floor was packed with everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves. so happy for bec n kirby. this is probably the type of wedding she had wanted. lots of laughter, dancing, music n beer. congrats again my dear!!

rattling....starto!

first time I OT till so late! record breaking mochi! haha. 12am.!! omg!

Makes me feel that i'm very diligent. ahem. not used to that leh. but really really very tiring. reached home at 1 plus and almost konked out on my sofa while drying my hair.. no energy to even wash my hair properly...just chope chope anyhow to get it over and done with. really wanted to watch the dicey business repeat at 2am...but..ZZZzz

i'm too attached to this thing called sleep. just 1 day of deprivation my body would need like the next few days to recuperate from the shock. yep...so i'm pretty lethargic now.

spent a day slacking with evil shit at home...watched Green Mile by Tom Hanks and some youtube videos. couldnt bring myself anywhere far.. we both hate to go town during the weekends unless we have errands to run. The suntec jam was crazy during the IT show and I was one the victim who was heading for Marina Sq.

the week zooms by when you're busy. have not much recollection of what i've done except meetings, minutes and SQA. In short, W.O.R.K.

bought a new beeping alarm clock today and I'm glad I won't be suffering heart attacks in the mornings anymore. the beeping sound is soothing and pleasant to the ears. my ex clock was the bell ring type and despite me pasting a sponge over the sound source, the ringing sound was still deafening. hope my new friend won't be too soothing till it'll put me back to sleep again..

as if not busy enough, i got assigned to be usher for the coming Land Transport Excellence Awards this tuesday evening. ahhh. why me?! Ritz Carlton somemore... rushed out to get a suitable dress for the occasion..love this nice dress and very cheap somemoreee.. heh. gg to be so underdressed coz the dress code is GOWN for ladies. madness... no way i'm buying a royal gown for a 1 time wear... at least i''m sure i'll wear this piece more often.

chk out this funny video! esp the monkey...so cute!

pong pong hair

bunned up my hair today coz getting abit long n thick n unmanageable. enjoyed a few moments of being curly hair goldilocks when Ilet it down after 13 hours of work...13 hours. horrrrigible! stop working so hard mochi san!

anyway, concluded that I shldn't perm my hair. super pong3 and look like siao char bor. Reminds me of long time ago when I was staying at my old house, got this siao char bor always loitoring at my void deck so i was super scared whenever I had to wait for the school bus alone. I recognise her by her big pong pong curly oily hair (see below).





enuff of hairrrr.... weather's been goading me to wake up late...i've been so zapped out of energy recently that every day no matter how much i sleep..i still feel tired. eh wait..hasn't that always been the case ah?! ya! but now it's getting worse la.... worse worse worse.. i wake up with a neck ache n back ache...and everywhere ache.

English

I have to declare that I'm not looking forward to the weekend. For once...

150 pages of copyrighting of the final report which everyone had been slogging for for the past 1 year. not that my english is that powerful, but as the overall secretariat, i just had to do the final vetting through to make sure that sentences flow and paragraphs are integrated.

Not that i'm atas but as I vetted through some of the reports, it is shocking that peoples' english can be so jialatz.

The classic example of bad english was I had to take a deep breath, and rattle through a sentence full of grammatical errors which lasted like 5 full lines. 5 lines in 1 sentence..without any punctuation. imagine the amount of copyediting i had to do.

having said that, that person with poor english is of directorial level. These people can really use bombustic buzz words related to his/her specialisation but putting those cheem words together is another issue altogether.

The moral of the story: Those in higher management need not have a good command of English as long as their subbordinates can do the job.

Wanted: Arnotts Raspberry Tartlets.....Found!

** there's something wrong with blogger image upload!! pisssed! mrs kwok, u got same prob?!**

finally................................ i found it! okay..not me, but evil shit found it! told me he had a surprise for moi today. and guess what. he managed to find the Arnotts Raspberry Tartlets !! been searching high and low for it and it seems to have disappeared from the shelves...discontinued. gone. so sad. i had such bad craving that sharon san, junyi san, babu n gang plus of coz e.s. had experienced being dragged to the supermarts, mama shops, 7-11, watsons, pharmacy, liberty...by my super bad craving.

bottomline is... i found it. popped 3 tarts into my mouth (after dinner) and I could hear a sizzle almost immediately.

Presenting to you.... one of my worst craving for the past 2 weeks. Domo Candy Empire!

dream a little dream of me~

Was reading miss chean’s blog about dreams interpretation. Found it really applicable to me as I’m really a dreamer. Not the dreamy dreamer but a literally a person who dreams a lot.

Dreams have become an integral part of my sleep that it would now seem “incomplete” without them….this said with a tinge of sarcasm and regret. My dream statistics have been on the rise and it’s depriving me of a well rested mind for the new day. Somehow my brain feels tired even after a long long sleep.

And I tried out some of those online dream interpretation guides, typed in the words I could connect to the dreams. Not many returns. My dreams are too weird.

I typed in “pyjamas”. Nil return. Who dreams of pyjamas?! I dreamt of meeting Becca and Chean at Macs for breakfast in pyjamas and I thought we were all very novel to be wearing the same stuff to macs. LOL. This dream came up the night before I was suppose to meet them for breakfast at Macs.

I typed in “dentist”. Coz there was this period where I made several trips to my handsamu dentist to get my tooth fixed. So I dreamt that after the dental treatment, I got up to go home and found myself in my grandma’s house. ?!

Dentist
To dream that you are at the dentist, signifies periodic doubt over the sincerity and honor of some person. You may have some anxiety or fear of pain, but in the long run it will be for your own good.
To dream that the dentist working on somebody else's teeth, signifies that you will be shocked by scandal near you.

...I figure that the interpretations doesn’t really apply to me since I tend to dream of stuff that are really happening. Just that in my dreams, the events took place in weird settings, attire……

One of the recurring nightmarish dreams I've had was dreaming of a crashing lift crashing all the way beyond ground level. I could still remember the feeling of my heart jumping right out of my mouth as I screamed till I was hoarse. *shudders*

Elevator
To dream that the elevator is out of order or that it is not letting you off, symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control.

To dream that an elevator is falling out of control, refers to your fears of letting go. You may also be expressing your desire to give up and escape from some demanding situation. If the elevator stops just right before it crashes, then it indicates that if you hang on long enough, everything will turn out all fine in the end.

.....Haven’t had the elevator dream in awhile. Could symbolize I’m finding peace with the current state of things? Anyway, it’s good to know that I'm distancing myself from insanity.

Come to think of it, the content of my dreams recently are veering towards the comical category. They’ve become precious conversational topics with my family and friends and are of great entertainment value at times. well, not all the time coz most of the time i get the duh look when they hear of my ridiculous dreams.

Finally, something positive.
