Pack pack pack...
Hiong Gong... here I am again celebrating labour day with you.
Shit. I need to pack in the dark coz my room lights spoilt. Hope I bring the correct things.
Heard the weather is cool now.... drooling already thinking of the xi mut nai cha and the cool weather.
A much needed break.

weekend @ shooting star speed
I thought March was crazy, but it was just pathing the way to a hysterical April. - this was what I posted on facebook sometime back. It was exceptionally memorable coz it summarised everything so neatly and it was the first time, FIRST TIME, ES "liked" my status. Yep, very difficult to garner any positive remarks from him on stuff to do with writing coz he always thinks he's dam good- the irritating atas copywriter airs.
Digressed too much..back to topic. Yep, busy handover period with new things on my plate, abit hard to swallow coz pretty technical for me. haiz. Yep, and loads of sharing sessions = lots of slides to prepare. And I was sick for half the month and I was in and out of office. Then, I was roped into some performance for my CE's farewell item which required lots of rehearsals = more time evaporated.
Everything else was on hold including all my personal errands, school assignments and all.
I set up a timetable for myself today, just like back to schooldays.
8am - Finished up my half done Motivation and Human Conduct assignment. Topic of essay: "Are Altruistic Behaviours Really Selfish Acts?"
10am - Did slides for next week's meeting which totally slipped my mind
12pm - Edited some work pics as I was the photographer for the event
2pm - Had lunch with mama san and did some grocery shopping with her
4pm - Started packing my room which if not, would soon be featured in 心晴大动员.
7.30pm - Went Ikea with mama san to buy some storage for my clothings
9.30pm - Caught last part of sucky Star Awards.. super boring as like every year. Perhaps they should just scrape it or make it bi-annual.
10pm - Continued with my packing
11pm - Plonked myself infront of my comp.
Felt as if my weekend just started when it actually has ended.
I look forward to work coz of my buddies at work. I love them!! Cannot imagine what work will be like without their brainless jokes, chattering and relentless teasing of each other, giving some life to the constant fire-fightings and stifling workload.

Caught YOU!
It's suffocating.
Do you know how is it like, when you feel that people are just watching, scrutinizing every word, every action, every mail you send, rubbing their palms in anticipation, waiting and waiting, to grab every chance to pounce on you when you miss out a full-stop, comma or mis-spell a word.
Abit exaggerated but yes, it's to that effect. They are just trying to catch you do wrong (in their opinion/style), not right. It doesn't help when we are all swarmed with work and we must spend our already very precious time to explain the thought process behind every alphabet we write.
In short, they think the whole world are idiots without brains who don't think before they do things. Yep. Only they do.
Everyone's got their own style of working and if you had studied hard enough in school, biology says everyone IS different. SO, respect that. Stop trying to mould everyone into YOU. Unless the errors are significant enough to cause an earthquake in SG, pls prioritise and focus on doing USEFUL things.

MD DNA 17 Apr 2010
Belated post on Mayday DNA concert. I've uploaded most of the pics in FB... it's good in a way since this stupid blogspot is still so slow and unfriendly when it comes to uploading pics.
Not a fan of their song selection this time round. But the outdoor mood was something I was addicted to and craving for now. Perspiration and fireworks were what we can experience, only outdoors. I felt like I burnt a day's calories and it felt unusually good coz I've been sick for the past 2-3 weeks. My seat was good too along with the crazy company I went with. W's friends are really a nice and onz lot. The guys were super high type and their ah beng style of shouting encore was irritating but funny.
A good concert though it ended pretty surprisingly and I brought back splatters of mud on my shoes, feet and bag... well, it's worth it if it's for the world's best band.
~ love this pic.... in the limelight effect..~

frames from a bore
Mama san was just nagging at how anal and boring I can be with food. She called me to ask what I wanna have for breakfast coz she's out. After lots of hmmss...ahhhss...ehhsss... I told her its okay, i'll go and buy my wanton mee and tehC from hg green.
Yes, in starking contrast to my lazy brother who would just want to sponge on anyone who can dabao back food for him, I'm actually willing reject someone's offer to buy food back and to WALK in the blistering sun to hg green to get my wanton mee and tea.
"aiyo...everyday eat wanton mee, not sian meh? very nice meh?" mama san questioned.
Which is kinda true coz as long as I'm home in the morning, I'd grab the chance to buy that for breakfast. Unadventurous and boring but I can be sure that I will like it.
Frankly, if you ask me, I've never tried most of the stalls at the coffeeshops near my place. I can live on just keep eating the bloody same stall for years. I try my best to cut down on chances where I don't enjoy my food and go..."dam..i should have just ordered my good ole ban mian."
I think this part of me reflects my personality too. I'm one who needs just a handful of good friends I can talk to and hangout with. I can be pretty anti social at times too simply coz I don't see the need to make new friends. When I like a certain game, I will just keep playing the same one over and over. It would not be easy to entice me to try out another game. This explains my love for bejeweled (the only online game I play) since day1 and it's going strong!
It's not hard to understand. If you're happy, why waste your time to experiment with others?
I'm different when it comes to arts n craft stuff though. heh. I enjoy exploring ideas and wrecking my brains brainstorming. Once I'm set and doing it, the therapy begins.
Check out my latest creations to free up some space, making use of bundle of threads left from my cross stitching.

~ a frame for becca. made use of some glass tiles I bought from japan 100yen shop. I like the retro feel to it. :)~

I hate fevers
Had a freak bout of fever yesterday. I went to work as usual, only feeling kinda irritated coz of a freak sore throat that attacked in the middle of the night.
Dunno how it happened but it worsened super fast throughout the day and I was like a dumpling wrapped in 2 layers of jackets in office. Struggled to the panel clinic at Hg mall after work and I had a fever of 39deg. Couldn't make it to the interchange and I took a cab from hg mall to home...first time in my life.
Climbed into bed, all wrapped up, perspired, achy body and feelings of pins and needles everywhere.
Out of all the more common illnesses, fevers are like my arch enemies. Though I must say that it's lucky that so far my fevers are not persistent and usually subsides after medication. But they are powerful enough to leave you with a really drained body after all the battle your body went though.
I slept from 7pm last night till 12.30pm today which equates to 17 hours of sleep!! Unbelievable.
I learnt in psychology (Carl Jung? ) that illnesses are the body's way of telling you that your body needs the rest. Similarly, when a person experiences mild depression and doesn't feel like talking, it's the body's way of allowing you time to reflect upon the issues. This is incase of MILD cases la.
Well, there could be some truth to that.

Go West...
This pair of shoes from Jwest is irresistably comfy!!! I tried it on in the shop and got babu to try it too. You should have seen the disbelief splashed across our faces and our feet basking in joy. I mean.. like do such super comfy shoes actually exist?!! I got this pair and babu got another design in black, both with similar texture and comfort. Oops. If you wonder what material it's made of, it's oink oink skin. Another great use of oink oinks besides being made into tasty char siew.
There's UOB 15% off now.
Grab it folks if you support blister-free feet and you're anti-CK's feet-abusing shoes.
I'm a total Jwest supporter now.
