It’s a Sunday….already.

And I feel like Sunday is coming in too fast.

All because they had to choose to have the Dinner & Dance on a Saturday.

And I’m not complaining about it though.

No wait…I AM going to complain about it. I want my bloody weekends back!

Personally, I felt cheated. The only thing I was looking forward for the D&D was the performance. I actually can’t wait to see what Gaga guy has to show during the talent time segment. All I can say was, only two of the performances caught my attention because I was laughing so hard and cheering them on. After that, my sleep bug started to take over and I was getting…well…BORED. And a teeny bit restless and tired. Hana said it’s perhaps it’s the cheesecake and pineapple cake that might have liquor in it that was making us a bit sleepy. LOL. So if I am allowed to take alcohol, I’ll be the first one to doze off first?

But frankly speaking, I was itching to get out of the place >.< The company was great and all but Hana said it was a bit too draining probably because our energy was so focused on prepping ourselves for the dinner. Let’s see, we took 2 weeks to get everything ready. Two weekends we headed down to town and spend more than 3 hours to get this and that. It was more of Hana’s stuff and mine was just the shoes. I had my fair share of bimbotic  moments as well.  That’s a first for me. I even attempted to wear mascara in the cab; because I thought it was cool and it reminded of that cool agent-like woman in Jackie Chan’s movie The Tuxedo. HAHAHAHAHA XD But I ended up poking my left eye with the mascara wand instead O_o So I’m guessing yeah, I think we were so focused on getting ready and almost perfect that at the end of the day, most of the energy were used up and dang it. My feet hurt with the new shoe for standing so long. No blisters though. So that was a good thing. The seventy buckaroos spend was worth the shot.

My black flats are crying for help so it’s time to get new ones!!!! YESH! Now now, just because I got the bonus doesn’t mean I’ll be splurging. It’s a big NO for me. Stick to the agenda. Just get the black flats and new sandals. And a new dictionary. And then head down to the bookstore and library. Then it’s back to updating the proyecto! I know I kept saying this but you have no idea how thrilled I was to see the reacción I am receiving. It really made my day and I couldn’t stop smiling.

And speaking of smiling (oh crap, I’m smiling again thinking about the whole event), I could say the work week ended pretty well. I guess. I’m back to doing nothing and ended up rearranging my music files and catching up on the codes. I DID try to read the codes but my mind kept drifting away so it was of no use. Shall try again tomorrow.

Here’s the poem for the week. I don’t feel messed up. I think she is.

This Mess

Let’s keep it simple
It’s hardly weird science
I don’t like looking for trouble
But you’re already stepping the lines

It’s going to crumble slowly
As slow as that molten lava on the volcano
There’s time to heal or leave it as it be
But I would rather end it with a silent blow

It’s harsh, yeah I know that
But I can’t keep up with your many games
It’s going to make me look bad
But I rather walk away and leave you with the shame

FYI. I kept listening to U-Kiss Man Man Ha Ni because it’s making me high. Ever since…ever since… *zone out*

Before I end this post, here's something from BoA. An old song from her, but I realise the concept of her MV has got something to do with the dinner theme. BoA's looks preeeeetttyyy here.

 The lyrics just makes me go *_* Very poetic and deep. Don't you think so?
 

I am a downright sucker for any R&B tunes that come along the way.

And I have to say BoA’s latest single Possibility has got me hooked!! I knew it was going to be some great stuff the moment I heard the intro and fiiinnaaalllyyy seeing her singing in a more relax calm mood. I am totally digging her new haircut; though at certain angle I thought the hair looked similar to that of Jaejoong’s.

I had a great week.

REALLY.

I find it hard to believe as well but I truly enjoyed myself this whole week.

There was stuff to do at work so I feel occupied and less time to get bored and sit staring at the screen.  

I am also taking baby steps in sticking to my Mission 101 although most of the time I kept forgetting to update my Happy 3 Events notebook before I go to bed. Normally if I forgot about it, I will update it the next day but you know what? The lazy bug is back again and slowly eating up the cells in my body BUT I’ve been forcing myself to get out of bed and prepare breakfast for the day. But somehow I kept forgetting to update the notebook and then will leave work fretting about it. Hmmmph.

A lot of good stuff happened as well and I guess the main highlight was the big-bang visit that I was SO looking forward to it. I cannot reveal the details here nor I can post the pictures up here as well ; since the project is still under confidential matters. But I was brimming with excitement on Friday and couldn’t sit still. Despite the fact that I got to work late because of the late bus and the heavy downpour, it didn’t dampen my spirits at all. I ate my breakfast happily and then kept going back and forth to the toilet and plotter room hoping that time will go by faster! Hahaha.

Oh, I was a bit worried upon receiving news that two of our colleagues got into a motorbike accident due to the slippery road and the stupid taxi cutting into their lane. The bike skidded across the road and they were on their way to the hospital while we were all getting ready to leave for the site. But guess what? The accident was bullshit to them because the two of them actually limped and dragged themselves all the way to the majestic place no matter what! Well if I were them, I will be damn too if I could not come to the site on that day. So kudos to them for having a speedy discharge and making their way to meet us safely!

All in all, it was another great memory in the making. Despite the countless hours of cadding and arguing and perhaps, cursing, the project is finally in front of our eyes!! I was overwhelmed of course because I could not believe that I was part of this crazy big scale project. It’s definitely beyond imagination to be something a part of this. Many pictures and videos were taken and I couldn’t help but keeping seeing them every minute. It’s just TOO beautiful. EH? Am I getting too emotional here? Hahaha XD

It’s 1040pm now. I haven’t ironed my clothes for the week. And will be updating my Happy 3 Event notebook as well. There will be so many stuff to be written inside there. Such as finally getting the Dinner outfit. I got the pants, the blouse, and the scarf and not to mention the shoes that had the most killer price ever!!!!!! I’ll be eating bread for my lunches starting tomorrow. My sister told me that there are cheaper shoes in other place, but I’m going to turn deaf on her and be happy with what I got. I am still getting used in trying to wear the headscarf in a stylish manner though.

Hana is exceptionally good in handling the make-up stuff so I leave it to her tomorrow to decide for me which eye palette I should buy. She told me to wear fake eyelashes and contact lenses on that day but I said NO. I will take that risk some other time though.

Mission 101 – Number 60

Song : Love Is On The Way by Saigon Kick

Good night!

I’ve been in a GLEE mode recently. Kept listening to the soundtrack over and over again. And you know what, I think I’m not the only one who would love to burst into a song and dance in the middle of the street. Something like a mob-dance but more exciting. And the songs depict your situation as well. Such as this morning, I almost sang out to Bad Romance when I finally saw him appeared out of nowhere. Pei was caught in the act before that, singing to Saigon Kick’s ‘Love Is On The Way’. I got hooked on the chorus part after I heard her mouthing the words and doing the whole MV thing in front of the dance. The days got crazier which I truly enjoy it actually J

Dot dot dot dot dot…I’ve been sending the signals and I think the message is loud and clear. I can’t be bothered anymore even though I have the whole guilt trip. Thinking about the good fun times that we used to have but everything would turn to dust? Or wouldn’t they? I’m not sure. But I’ve been sick of it. It’s like history repeating itself all over again. Me, doing the same thing for the second time. I want to pin point this matter out but I’m not sure whether it’s too late now. Hmmm. Should I give it a go?

Tomorrow’s going to be an exciting day (I hope!) as it is going to be most anticipating site inspection ever!! I actually feel a teeny bit proud to finally see the huge project coming to life and most people have been praising about it. I’ve seen the plans and pictures, but nothing beats than going to the actual place itself right? I heard that we are involved in a stress test as well. Not sure about it, but since it’s going to be free, why not? Hahaha..cheap bastard me.

It’s going to be 11 o’clock soon. Have to hit the sack. It feels like a Friday to me and tomorrow will be the ultimate weekend, but sadly no. I just feel this way since I took half day to collect my books at school. Feeling a bit excited and nervous as well to attend my 2^nd year (I still can’t believe I breeze through 1^st year) next coming Monday. The books this time are much lighter and my elective core comes with a three juggling balls. I think there was a huge question mark floating on my head when the lady handed me the box. “These juggling balls are for your COR154” >.<

Shall be updating proyecto. Feedbacks have been great. I love it!

Good night.

Hello beautiful Monday~~~

Yes. It’s been a lovely Monday today and I had no qualms about what happened so far.

I arrived SUPER early in the morning and my stomach was making flip flops because, well, I was kinda nervous being the fire warden. LOL. The reasons are not apt so I shall not place it here. The boss was complaining about the whole fire drill being a waste of time. I second her on that. When I went to the pantry and the alarm bo peep bo peep through the speakers, some of the people were still Q-ing up to make their morning coffees and what have you T_T I can’t blame them though. Haha.

I chose to fast today since it is a Monday and a good strategy as well to save my money. It was also an easy fasting day because I had work to do. I picked out where Pei had left off last Friday and did her part on the floor plans. Other than that, it was coloring some floor plans and printing a3 drawings for the boss. And to sweeten it off, he rocked the purple today! *faints*

HAHAHAHA~~~!!!! I almost went crazy okay. Sheesh. Look at me, turning into a sixteen-year-old school girl. Tsk…tsk..

During lunch break, I stayed in the office and continued watching the second episode of You’re Beautiful. And guess what? I didn’t find it appealing at all. There was no WOW factor that got me attracted to the show and I almost fell asleep. I was getting restless halfway throughout the show actually. No offence to fans of the show though. Maybe it’s not my kind of a drama. I decided to give the drama a go since He Who Can’t Get Married was removed on Youtube and my heart broke into pieces!!!!!!! I was so hooked on it and was hoping to watch till the end but my plan got disrupted. Sob..sob…I can’t think of anymore good k-drama to watch L

OOOHHH. There was some good news at the end of the day and I was nearly jumping off my seat. Fuuh~~ It cause some major relief but still I shouldn’t take advantage of it.

Its 1122pm now.

Its way past my curfew.

I should go to bed.

GOOD. NIGHT.

I discovered tumblr just now.

And got attracted to its funky and stylish looking layout. It was so tempting to switch from LJ to tumblr…but don’t worry. I didn’t find it user friendly actually. So I’ll be sticking to LJ for a while (I hope). The only thing I don’t like about LJ is that I can’t chose the fonts that I like to type in my entries. Or is there? Hmmm… I normally type my entry in Word, then copied it here.

So yes, today is a Sunday and I’ve spent it watching Fantastic Mr Fox in the afternoon and then checking out other stuffs on the Net. The usual Youtubing and a good dose of kpop news as well.

Yesterday, I had a good time heading out to town with Hana. It’s been a while since I last been there. I’m guessing I was there was when Carrie Underwood was in town for the opening of ION. We had breakfast at a café where Hana was craving for the iced chocolate. I ate rice and hot tea. The tea tasted so good and I cannot imagine drinking the ice chocolate with my rice dish. I would have to rush to the toilet after twenty minutes of eating. After the kingly breakfast, we went off to town and started searching for Hana’s dress. The good of heading to that place earlier is that there’s no huge crowd – yet. So you can imagine how delighted I was not to be squash up with all those peoples and have the corridor and shops, to ourselves. Unfortunately, however, most of the shops are not opened yet but we still managed to scoop around for those vintage 1920s dresses. And it was a PAIN! My foot wasn’t in pain, no…but it was the whole search of looking for the right dress that was making the both of us frustrated. Even though I already had an outfit to go for the dinner, I was sharing Hana’s frustration in trying to spot the perfect dress. Not too short, not too tight and not too much frills. Because Hana just found that she looked like a dope wearing dresses with frills. LOL XD

So we eventually gave up and moved on to another place. Hana said this time she’s not going to be super fussy and just ‘grab-and-go’ with whatever the shops has. And Ta-DA!! We managed to found out. At a shop called Moonriver. I guess it’s something to do with Paris Love as well because there was an Eiffel Tower picture on the sophisticated looking paper bag (which I love it so much!). Well, I don’t think most of the clothes looked quite suited for the Paris concept, but what the heck, as long as Hana’s got her dress, and she’s happy with it, then I’m happy too as well.

Overall it was one heck of a tiring day but as long as it was accompanied with good food, then I’m fine with it. Hehe. I’m not adding in any weight with the food that I’m eating, BUT I think I am starting to lose my cash with my eating out and splurging on those too-good foods. I think that’s the main reason why my savings are a bit too low this month. I haven’t been buying any new clothes or shoes or hair products..except for topping up my facial stuff. I’ve had my spending all planned out but somehow the money just keep slipping away. Or maybe I still need to work hard on my financial planning. Hmmm…

Oh. There’s something I’ve wanted to post it up here a few days ago but I didn’t have the chance to. They are all random issues actually. So here goes:

+ I don’t care if I’m the bad person here. I want to wash my hands off her case. I’ve had enough with her and unprofessionalism in handling basic courtesy. I’m not sure this matter would continue. She would have obviously sense the discomfort but you know what? I’ve had enough.

++ Pies. Brownies. Cookies. I’ll be spending more time doing a little bit research here and there trying to come up with the best pastries possible. Hana and I went to this new pie shop and I got my feelings cheated. I kept referring the taste to that of an old rag because the chocolate-strawberry pie was mostly covered with whipped cream. The chocolate biscuit was nice but other than that, it was too bland. The other pies had alcohol in them so I couldn’t taste them. Therefore, in March, it will be the month of the pies! Woow!

Before I end this post, here’s a little something from Brown Eyes. It’s called “With Coffee” and when I first heard this song, I imagine the setting to be in a coffeehouse and then a boy and girl will fall in love when they first there. But I was wrong. Take a look at the video yourself:

But nevertheless, I still love this song and Brown Eyes J

Aaaaandd…I finally got work to do in the office. Thank God for that. I was so sick of pretending to do something and to look serious in front of the computer. Oh yes. I’ll be a fire warden for tomorrow’s fire drill as well. HAHAHA! I still find it hilarious that little petite me decided to become one. LOL XD

Here's a little something I really find it helpful from Alyssa Abbey:

This week’s VITALITY TIP from Live with Energy www.livewithenergy.com
11 January 2010 –  Worry wart

Why do we sometimes get into worry cycles that go round and round, draining us of energy we could be putting to use somewhere else – like in working on a solution or contingency plans?  Some people feel obligated to worry, I think, using worry as an insurance policy or something.  But of course, visualising the worst and agonising over consequences isn’t exactly the way to live a proactive, dynamic life.
 
If you’re a worrier, you could take a leaf out of my dad’s book.  My father did a fairly high pressure job but he never, ever worried, and he taught me his philosophy.  If I ever went to him fretting over something, like exams or money, he would sit me down and ask me two simple questions.
 
First, what are you actually worrying about?  When you have to articulate it exactly, really pinpoint the issue, it’s amazing how you’ll see that you may be making a mountain out of a molehill, and imagining that one tricky exam is going to cause life-threatening disaster.
 
Second, can you do anything about it?  If the answer is no, then for goodness sake focus on something else, distract yourself from the worry – give yourself another project to work on.  If you can to something about it, or at least influence it, then get on and do it!  Brainstorm the most effective solution, plan your steps and get moving! That’s putting your energy to better use.

 Man, my hair still smells of rubber after I washed it. Don’t worry, I didn’t head out to a rubber plantation or anything. I went swimming this morning and the smell was from the swimming cap I wore. Since it is still brand new, the rubbery smell is still quite strong and I didn’t quite like it as I had to bear with it the whole day even though I had rubbed in some of Lucidol’s treatment oil. Speaking of hair, I feel it’s time to have a haircut but somehow I have no idea how to cut it. See, I’ve rebonded my hair twice because I’ve always wanted to know how it feels like to have straight frizz free hair. But boy was I wrong. The straightness lasted for quite some time and I quite enjoyed the moment where I could tame my hair and not worry about the puffiness my wavy hair used to give me. But then the waves are starting to make a comeback and my hair texture looks stiff and unappealing!! *gasp* What a girl to do….

Oh, and speaking of swimming, I hate it when water gets into the ears! My left ear is still blocked up and I can’t tell whether it’s the water or ear wax. Pfffft.

The office’s been real quiet since majority of the staff had left for their Christmas and New Year’s break, and how I envy them to the core. You know the funny thing is, I kept having this feeling that I don’t have to come to work next week since it is 2010 and it’s a fresh start for me. LOL. If only!!! But I already prepared my resume yesterday and am currently waiting for my aunt to fill up a few blanks in my application since she’s working in the place as well. And I really want to get out of my current company soon because well, let’s just say that I’ve just about enough. About the work actually. I’m going to miss the people though; especially the ones who made me laugh during the hard times. But still…I think it’s about time I find a new perspective and check out other things in life. Like they say, I’m still young and have much more to learn.

Speaking of learning, I’ve learn that Pei can be quite the lovesick puppy as well. I never expected her to react that way!!! You should see how protective she was when I tried to check out the box. Crazy woman. And speaking of crazy!!!! Oh man…there’s this long time techno trance song that I’ve been dying to listen ever since I heard it last Saturday at a bookstore and it’s been stuck in my head like a leech and I was DYING to find the title of the song. And I think I searched the Net for almost two hours looking at techno/trance CD listing while trying to verge SGFA line at the same time. That’s how….nuts I went! And then there was another case of gastric so I skipped lunch since I wasn’t in the mood to eat anything heavy. I went to a CD shop and headed straight for the techno genre, found the 2010 compilation CD, saw the title and went berserk! I texted Pei and she thought I was only getting the CD just for the sake of that song but nay! Why would I do that anyway? Haha XD So I managed to snag a cinnamon pretzel and Kordel’s Eye Bright (a must!) and rushed back to the office to research the song and I was over the moon when I finally got my hands on it. You may think that I am definitely going nuts, and the truth is, yes I am. I think it’s the chlorine from the morning swimming or it could be the coffee. But all in all, I am a happy girl for finally getting the song!

It’s Espresso ‘Drive Me Crazy’ – I believe it was a mega hit during the 1990’s? Or was it early 2000? I remembered my cousin having this collection of trance albums and because of her, I got interested in Eurodance and trance and there are certain tunes that are nice to listen to especially when you want to loosen that stress muscle of yours. Or just to go crazy and dance about. I did that in the office just now. Try it. It’s fun. Just make sure your boss is not around.

Oh..oh….OH!!!! As of today, 28 December 2009, I am a HUGE FAN of CHARICE PEMPENGCO. I’ve just finished checking a few of performances in Youtube and the one she performed with Celine? It brought me to tears!!!!! That girl is AMAZING for someone at such a young tender age!

Guess I’ll be waiting for her album to be in stores soon. Or maybe it’s already there. Hmm..shall check it out tomorrow but won’t be getting it on the spot though. I’ve been spending like hell in 2009! I’ve never been like this ya know. Blowing off my money like there’s no tomorrow. And Nora Roberts has tons of great books out and I was SO tempted to whip out the card and get 3 of her books! They were just there, sitting on the shelf and calling out to me!! I felt so tortured by it :s

Lady Gaga’s music getting pretty addictive these days! I got her latest album and Bad Romance and Alejandro was on repeat today. There’s a weird persona about her but that’s what people love about it! I enjoy listening to her music. Especially during gym J Speaking of gym, I need to start to head there next week. Been binging on those carbs for a while now. Even though people say I’m already stick thin, I still want to work out or else I’ll turn out to be a lazy bum and gets breathless easily just by climbing up the ESCALATOR.

So it was a rainy Christmas Eve this morning and it stretched till the afternoon. It stopped by lunch time although I’m wishing it continue raining the whole day. I had it all planned out…to be the Secret Santa and report to work early in the morning and place the gifts on their table but because of the cooling rain, I didn’t got up as early as I wanted it to be and ended up leaving the house as usual. I was mentally cursing myself for giving in to my laziness once again because I had promised myself to un-lazy myself.

2009 is coming to an end soon which I am super glad because it has been a difficult year for me, but of course, I have learn a lot from my mistakes. I’ve been clumsy, messy and kept hibernating myself that most of the stuff I wanted to do were either left undone or ending up having a messy results. I think the biggest blow so far will be that yoga issue which made me really pissed off because of me losing money and them not wanting to give in. They have sent yet another letter saying I owed them since I’ve terminated the line myself through the bank. To think that they told me that no such guy was working on the day I requested for the termination and they had NO RECORD of me signing that form. It’s partially my fault too for not asking for a carbon copy of the sign form which makes the case a bit difficult since there’s no evidence except for a witness who was present on the day I signed that form. Nas said they’re a bunch of con people wanting to dig the money out of you and I already have several people backing me up on this matter. I guess 2009 can also be the year I met a few good men and women who assisted me to get out of a few cluttered situations.

Speaking of situation, I have a boiling desire to jump start my plan to leave my current company. I really want to make (drastic) changes in my life and I don’t think it’s necessary to wait for 2010 to come; even though it will be 2010 in a week’s time. Therefore I’m going to spend the extra long weekend to polish up my cover letter and resume and then send them to the respective organizations and pray and hope for the best. Let’s just say that, I haven’t been enjoying the work time with my current job. Minus the gaga times I spend with my team mates and other colleagues, I can’t see myself working my butt off there in the next 2 years…or maybe 1 year…or 6 months. I like some of the people there. They never failed to make me laugh and brighten up my day when things get a bit dull but these past two weeks, I could just die of boredom just sitting there in front of the computer and at times, pretending to do work. It’s not that I am escaping from getting any tasks from the boss, but there’s simply NOTHING to do. It could be submission period is over and the situation is a bit stable now but even so, I just don’t like the policy there. I just don’t like the idea of me leaving the office on time or 15 minutes later and then feeling burdened by the fact that maybe your other team mates are talking about you always escaping early. And I just find it stupid that me myself and I am actually scared to leave the office for fear of the boss nagging at me…because she did that to me once…or twice…or maybe a few times. And it made me feel guilty!!!!! I DON’T LIKE THAT AT ALL!!!

Anyway back to the rainy Christmas eve topic, I managed to get everyone gifts this time. I actually wanted to play the role of the Grinch this year but then seeing the mountain of presents I had on my desk, I decided to be nice and got everyone a chocolate lollipop. Hearts for the ladies, and teddy bears for the guys. And I was satisfied with it and of course, many special thanks to Hana for assisting me to get it. As usual, I worked my magic on the plain plastic wrapper and got a big red bow and a simple Christmas card to make the candy more ‘festive’ looking. And they say my present was cute. HO HO HO! That made my day! J And I think this year, I got into the Christmas feel because of the last minute shopping, wrapping of the present and adding personalized message onto the cards instead of the usual “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays”. It might not be the true meaning of what Christmas is all about, but for someone who rarely celebrates that season, it’s a whole new experience for me.

Heart and teddy chocolate lollipops:

 My Christmas presents:

So yeah, I can’t wait to open them all up tomorrow. My dad managed to open one of the present even though I told him not to!!!! How could he!!!!!!  Grrrr…who’s the Grinch now??!!

By the way, on Strong Heart, Hyoyeon, speaks up about her dancing talent going to waste because she finds it uncomfortable to be suddenly waving lollipops instead of showcasing her popping and locking. And you know what? I think she should just leave the group. I mean come on, 8 girls left won't be a problem. They just have to wear short shorts or skirts and be cutesy and people (men) still love them. Frankly speaking, I've never liked SNSD but this girl has got the moves! I chanced upon a clip of she dancing to some hip-hop music and I immediately like her. Hyoyeon's got a raw real talent in dancing and I think she deserve the best spotlight!! I just love seeing that girl dance. She have so much charisma while she moves and you could see from her face everytime she dance, that she REALLY enjoys doing it, right?

Hyoyeon FIGHTING!

She and Song Kye Hyo look alike don't you think? I often see Hyoyeon instead of Song while watching Full House. Heh. ^_^

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE :D

“It’s the most wonderful time of the yeaaaarrr….”

Or so that’s what Michael Buble was crooning on the radio this afternoon. I think Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year…alongside with payday or celebrating your birthday or simply taking a break hanging out with your love ones.

I am definitely learning to take a break from all the negativity in my life currently but it’s just so hard to be positive when I just can’t stop worrying to the point that I am having a slight fever right now, and my giddy spells are coming back and I ended up throwing up whatever I ate. I really don’t like to see my food go to waste down the toilet bowl and I’ll end up feeling cranky and agitated the rest of the day because of my head throbbing and the taste of rubber and tar in my mouth. That was happened to me yesterday during work and someone caught me taking a snooze at my desk. It was a good thing that the guy was an external personnel or else I’m going to be in deep trouble. It was also kind enough of Eugene to show me the first-aid kit since I was in need to have the medicated oil. I’m not sure whether me falling sick again could be because of the stress of work, of that yoga shit (yes, they strike again), of the exam results (it’s tomorrow!) or the fact that I’m missing my parents.

A person can’t definitely escape from the hustle bustle of their own personal life right? I have my own music to face to at work and I was keeping my cool and swallowing everything that she was throwing at me. She said one particular thing that bloody pissed me off that I felt like shooting someone at the moment (preferably her). I was downright upset and depressed after that and I guess letting it all out was the best way as it gives me a sense of relief and comfort. Normally I will just cried it out (which I did) and then complained it to Hana. Hahaha…cause that’s what people normally do! If you’re upset, JUST LET EVERYTHING OUT. You’ll feel better after that…well not as if you’ve just struck a million bucks, but it’s definitely not healthy to keep all the feelings to yourself and do damage to your body. And I thank God for letting me meet Hana because she’s a really nice person to talk to. She’s not stingy when it comes to sharing information about any matters that I brought up. What she said may or may not be one hundred percent right but to know that there’s someone who listens to you and in return, I find it comfortable jus talking to her about issues close to the heart J

So I’m actually quite glad that I took a break from work today. I woke up this morning, feeling a bit warm and it became worst with the ulcer in my mouth so I went back to sleep and decided to take medical leave. The doctor thought that I was pregnant since all the stuff I listed were close to someone who is having a baby. Nauseous and throwing up food…hahaha..he looked a bit worried though and started checking on my eyes and then taking quite a long time listening to my heartbeat (listen to my heart..beat..beat..beat…beat…-sorry..couldn’t resist!) The bill was a bit too high though. Shucks. After that me and Dhilah went grocery shopping and went home in the rain. Washed the toilet upside down and cooked dinner for the three of us. It was first time attempting to make fried rice and it turns out fairly well. The rice was a bit hard though. But other than that, the mushroom and egg was yummylicious.

Okay..I kept mentioning in my other entries that I would be meeting the BROWN EYED GIRLS right? And I DID!!!!!!!! OMG. I was jumping and down when I saw the four of them walking up the stage and ready to perform for SIGN. I immediately spotted Je-A and ALL of them look so pretty and SMOKING HOT!!! Even Pei said the same thing :D I was actually having withdrawal symptoms from the concert that my concentration was TOTALLY off. Like, super maximum off. I kept making mistakes (which is why she wasn’t pleased with it) and my mind kept going somewhere else and I played BEG songs back to back for the entire week. It was definitely the MOST WONDERFUL TIME of the year for me and the rest who got to see their K-pop stars performing live right in front of their eyes.

The photo was taken by Miza and her photos turned out clearer than mine. I was too astounded to take photos of the girls. I REALLY couldn't believe that they are right there!!! Normally I got to see them in Youtube or in pictures..but holy cow!!! They're there! They're there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody was singing to the songs they were performing and they were really touched and surprised to know that they even have fans in Singapore. AAARRGGHHdfjdfjdgjhifnfnerilwythn!!!! They SHOULD come back and do a concert here. And I will be sure to get front seats!!! Even though I wasn't a big fan of T-MAX or FT Island, I feel extremely lucky to be able to see them. See...DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!! Well, I have plenty of other dreams to chase for and I hope they do come true as well :D Such as earning my degree and getting the dream job I want (which actually I have no idea right now....), and then travelling all around the world, especially to Europe and Korea. And then to meet Prince Charming and get out of this place. Hahahaha...the last one seems a bit far-fetched..but don't worry. I'll work hard on it ;) Tomorrow's the exam results. They will release it after 2pm. Oh boy......I think I will be fidgety the whole day tomorrow. Good night!

Today…..something interesting yet heartbreaking happened.

And I am glad that it ended on a VERY sweet note.

CHEERS!!!

I’m hooked to Because of You by After School. I think their recent performance in black and red was exceptionally well-done. I love the choreography especially…but I can’t stand seeing UEE’s expressionless face. It looks as if she was trying to hold back her vomit or wanting to hit someone. Can’t the girl at least have some emotion while performing all the time? No offence to UEE lovers, but I don’t like that girl. I don’t understand why she had to be pick to attend variety shows…what about the rest?

Oh, and my favorite member from After School would be Lee Ju Yeon.

I had like her when they first debut with ‘AH’ and she kinda looks like my high school friend. But I feel a bit sad to see her always dancing at the back, and not at the front. I’m actually nota big fan of After School at the beginning but their recent comeback kind of makes me like them more. I think it’s because they managed to ditch the whole colorful ‘cut and paste’ clothes which make them look cheap and unorganized. I never like those kinds of concepts. It’s super distracting to look at them when they perform. So KUDOS to After School!! I hope to see more of their performances in 2010 J

So it’s a Sunday today and in 2 hours time it will be a Monday where everything we will get back to our usual routine of waking up at 6am and preparing for another week in the office. Two things I’m looking forward to next coming week: Hitting the gym and seeing Brown Eyed Girls J

Anyway, I’m going continue watching Full House. I’m currently at the 3^rd episode. Will try to set myself a mission here. And that is to watch one episode of Full House every night. At least there’s something to look forward to after a horrendous day at work ^_^ Naw..my work’s not that terrible but most of the time it’s an energy drainer. Up to the point I just feel like walking out and stroll all the way back home.

So that’s today’s entry. Will update again if I have the time. Or something interesting happens.

Good night!

Okay so I know this may sound outdated, but currently I’m watching Full House. I’m still on the first episode by the way. It’s not that I’ve recently got interested in Rain or anything…or maybe I am. Because I am a fan of Junho from 2PM and everytime I look I at Rain, it reminds me of him. HAH. But yeah, I’ve been listening to that OST lately and I thought I will give this Korean drama a go. I have a rather short-attention span for Korean dramas actually. The only K-drama I’ve managed to watch till the end was My Girl. I didn’t even get to finish watching My Name is Kim Sam Soon. So let’s see how long I can sit and watch Full House.

So the weekend is finally here and I spend my Saturday VERY VERY early actually! I woke up at 630 am and did the laundry. Made some tea and then got to work on the pending article for secreto proyecto. I think it took me nearly three weeks to finally post it up. I am setting a challenge to finish up three more before 12 December itself. Why 12 Dec? Because that’s the day I’ll be seeing Brown Eyed Girls LIVE on stage. I am really anticipating the moment to see them. It’s definitely a dream come true to see the 4 ladies perform right in front of my eyes. And to think the sponsored hotel will be the same place I normally go to gym! And it’s in the same building as my work place!!!!!! You think I will bump into any of the stars? I hope so. Hee. Perhaps at Starbucks. Or the bookstore. WOOT! That will be fun!

It’s been a rainy Saturday today and I spend half my time sitting in front of my laptop and then going out to the grandma’s place for a while. Came back in the evening, ate dinner and here I am sitting infront of the laptop, doing the same thing again. Sounds like I don’t have a life huh? But the truth is, I like doing this; Youtubing and blogging and working on the proyecto. It’s a big break for me to get away from all the cadding, submissions and chasing people here and there. And to have people chasing YOU for this and that. Pffft. Which is why I don’t understand why a friend of mine is having a hard time taking her Christmas and New Year leaves for 3 weeks. She regretted taking that long leave and I was on the verge of strangling her, because I would do ANYTHING just to have that super long break! And she’s going to Jakarta-Bali…and she got the cheek to say that there’s nothing else to do T_T But those two are such beautiful countries to do back packing…how could she say something like that?? *bangs head on table* I don’t understand her.

And no, I won’t be taking any Christmas leave whatsoever. Perhaps I shall take loads of leave next year. LOL. Nah. I shall save them up for special occasions. No more waking up like a lazybum and skipping work and taking emergency leaves. Yeap. That has been the main reason why at times I just feel like being absent from work. Cause I’m plain lazy. Period.

2 more minutes to Sunday. Shall finish watching the first episode of Full House and then off to bed. Hopefully no bad dreams. I dreamt of two dead corpses and I wasn’t sure what was the role I had in my dream. It feels like I was a CSI agent because I was investigating whatever was happening at the f-ed up village in my dream. I hate those kind of dreams cause it doesn’t give me goosebumps, but will normally let my mind run wild and I will start imagining things. Nonsense piece of shit.

Will be going grocery shopping tomorrow.Perhaps get a pair new shoes as well. The current one looks fine but I need another pair just in case. Heee. But no more clothes. Except for an outfit for the upcoming Dinner & Dance. And a formal dress for a friend’s wedding. I still have no idea what to wear for the D&D though. It will be my firs time attending it since I didn’t get to go for the one during my college year.

And as much as this heart is saddened by what I saw (which I hope what I’ve seen what just a mind trick), I would stay strong no matter what. LOL. And perhaps screw that girl’s face upside down. Ahahahahaha…I’m so evil. But I am still pissed though. Who wouldn’t right?

Just when you had this nice impression of this person and tells yourself, that maybe one day this whole relationship might work out in a fine manner, everything just crumbles down the next day or the next few hours when the person started being nasty for just one tiny absurd reason. Why must life be always be that way?

PHUIK.

Currently listening to ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’ by Natasha Beddingfield. And how I wished to get away from the hassle of my life. It’s not currently hectic but I think it’s the heavyload feeling I have in my head. And it might be perhaps of the big bully I am dreading to meet tomorrow and the day after and the week after. I have to be frank here. She’s been a bully recently and it’s kinda getting on my nerves. It’s been too much and all I have to do is simply roll my eyes whenever she asks for a stuff urgently but ended up not wanting it because we were ‘too slow’. Somebody beat her up please.

So enough of ranting on the negative part of my life. Like I said before, it’s a waste of energy . But it does take a LOT of energy to muster up the courage and be strong about it. And that energy won’t be going to waste as we can see the fruits of our labor right in front of our eyes.

I am watching ‘Julie & Julia’ at the same time which explains why I have a hard time keeping my attention to my blog space. Julie mentioned in the movie that she has ADD, which explains why she can’t do household chores. So I went to look up what ADD means and it actually means ‘attention deficit hyperactivity disorder’ and I was a bit surprised to see that procrastination was one of the symptoms. Now I’m not saying that I might have this disorder, but then again who knows right? I can’t multitask very well actually as I tend to forget things easily and my mind will normally go astray while doing something that I don’t enjoy doing it. I am actually classified under the inattentive-type (ADHD-I) after reading the article.

So it could be why I kept postponing my next write up for secreto proyecto and then wanting to do it discreetly in the office. LOL!! I know it sounds crazy but when the cat/s goes out, the mouse will come out to play~~Yeah. I guess I’m a bit devil myself. The rebellious streak is still there after all these years.

But wait. The main point I wanted to talk about was about the movie. Now we all know how much I’ve been wanting to get out of and lead a new life at some foreign country (but money doesn’t fall from the sky) and then having my life like in the movies. You know, bumping into that guy in a bookstore or a coffeehouse and then having a whirlwind of romance episodes and in the end you tie the knot and lives in a small cottage house apartment that the both of you loves it, have three or four kids and then grow old happily together. Am I asking for much? Haha XD

Why can’t it be THAT simple?

I’m off to update the write up, and then make some mushroom soup and toasted bread. Shall eat to my stomach’s content and then get the stuff ready for work tomorrow.

It’s going to be a big whoop because it’s nearing the WEEKENDS!

And GYM on this coming Friday.

It’s the little stuff that makes me happy. And I’m lovin’ it.

Goodnight!

I successfully spend my Sunday in the most proper way possible.

And that will be facing the laptop whole day and catching up on my favorite Disney Channel’s shows. There’s just something about WOWP or Sonny that is just so colorful and addictive that make me wants to watch them all day. I don’t care what people say about Selena or Demi cause I personally feel that the shows are really entertaining. I also find their wardrobe uber cool and wishes that I can those clothes easily –which means at an affordable price and somewhere near. Going down to Bugis can be such a hassle; mainly the crowds.

My grandma +aunt+ uncle dropped by today and it actually feels nice to have a grown-up presence in the house for once. Even though my uncle was doing his work with his laptop and aunt+grandma were relaxing in the living room. I mainly spend my time going back and forth from the kitchen or toilet and to my laptop. Was doing some research on my next upcoming phone and reading the latest K-pop news.

I like today’s Sunday *contented smile*

Have you listened to T-ara’s Absolute First album? I've turned into a T-ara fan because of this album; even though I am still having trouble trying to spot which girl is which. My favorite member will be Eunjung. She's the leader right? The one with the uber smexy voice? Love it love it!

I personally got attracted to Like The First Time. Bo Peep Bo Peep has this disco feel to it at the beginning and then when I saw the MV teaser, I was like ‘WOAAH…that’s hot’. LOL. Even though I have no idea what the song all about and why the ‘Bo Peep’ is used, I am still anticipating the full video. I bet it’s going to get ban. Ah well.

‘Fallin U’ – an RnB tune and you know me, I have a certain weakness with RnB music especially when it has this slow tempo and puts me onto this dreamy mood *dreamy smile* I have a feeling their songs will be on repeat tomorrow and me see walk past shall him tralalalalala~~~~

Even if it’s for a brief moment, it’s enough to drive me nuts. AHAHAHAHAHA!! I can’t believe I just typed that out. Naw. That’s not true. I think it’s the stong that’s making me get into the mood. But oh well. I keep wishing that he will ask me out for lunch or dinner, ya know. A friend will tell me to keep dreaming on…but hey, it doesn’t hurt to dream right? I’m crazy crazy crazy~~~ Because to touch base with reality just bite monkeys.

I’ll be heading to the gym tomorrow morning. Like FINALLY! I think I skipped the whole of last week. Because of stupid overtime work. And I don’t care if my rebellious streak is showing just a teeny bit because I can’t stand it when her bossiness is pushing me over the edge. She’s a B. I bet Medea will make a nicer person. HAH!

Oh yeah. I bought a new mineral make-up from Cyber Colors because of the small portable size and the way it fits nicely into my make-up purse. But the sucky thing is I have no idea whether the mineral powder will be out whenever I am applying it or not. Maybe it takes time for the powder to come out and for me to get used to the new stuff. But I’m loving it because it does not make my face feel suffocated and it’s so easy to carry around.

Anyways, I way over my schedule. Was supposed to stop using the laptop one hour ago but I kept getting distracted with Youtube (what’s new??) and I actually wanted to continue doing my secreto proyecto but it seems like my short attention span is getting out of hand.

I shall continue doing it tomorrow.

My only wish for tomorrow and the rest of the week is to be able to carry out my duties properly, be it at home or in the office, and of course the main point here is not to be drag into overtime work. PHUIK.

Good night!




OH BTW. I thought that Drunk on Sleep by Brown Eyed Girls, was like a happy-go-lucky song but it turns out I was wrong. It's a rather heartbreaking song though. Check out the video below. Thanks to HEYitsKPOP1 for subbing it :)

Hello fellow readers.

It's been a while since I last dropped by Livejournal and update this space. It's getting dusty here aye?

*blows dust*

*cough*

*sneeze*

*cough cough*

Life's been pretty...fair these days. Everyday is a rainbow of colors; though sometimes I find it incredibly lazy to get out of bed and trudge my way to the office. That's what I did this morning. Darn those heels. I don't think I have the special flair to wear heels. I got four blisters on my big toe now, both the left and right feet. The plasters are not doing a good job to make me walk with ease, since they keeping slipping out time and again. Bzz!

Currently, me and the sisters are living a semi-independent life - for only a month- while the parents are off to perform their haj. Ok so I admit that I am missing them already and because we're so used to my mother's loud voice to wake us up, our first morning on last Sunday did not go off so well since the three of us overslept and our dear grandfather didn't get his breakfast before leaving the house. I felt extremely bad that he went off with an empty stomach. Ain said that she heard him making his own coffee and when I checked the kitchen, there wasn't any hot water T_T It won't happen again, I assure you. I promise.

Speaking of the kitchen, we stocked up a month's worth of food and what have you and I hope that it will last for a month. Grocery shopping took place on a fine Saturday with Dhilah and it was the first time that I shopped with the basket filled to the brim. We basically bought food that the three of us know how to cook although I will be looking out for something challenging at marthastewart's website. Did I mention ebfore how I reaaaaaallly admire that woman and how much I envied her kitchen?! On an extremely windy Sunday, I splurged like there's no tomorrow by getting new clothes (4 blouse and a pair of pants) - but they were all bought at a good price. I felt really pleased with myself for getting them because it's about time for me to stock my wardrobe as well. Haaaa...and to think there's other clothes in there that I haven't touch or worn only once. But I can' t help it. Shopping is not a therapy for me but sometimes I just like to find an excuse to spend my money, which is a bad thing, I know..cause I was feeling like Rebecca Bloomwood yesterday...but no..I didn't feel bad for almost spending a hundred on clothes and personal needs. Cause they are all necesseties....that were on a good sale..and I just had to grab it. :D

Ok what else should I say eh....hmmm:

1) My exam ended last Monday so it was a great relief. Will make use of the holiday before results come in. I don't want to think about the results though...eep!

2) Brown Eyed Girls - the date is drawing nearer! And I've been listening to their songs back to back. Can't wait to see them!!!

3) Secreto proyecto - once again received positive feedback! It really made my day :)

4) Starting to head down to the gym or pool, at least once or twice a week. I love my workout routine.

5) My face is having breakout for the first time. There's an ugly yellow one below the nose. Manuka honey to the rescue!

6) I didn't bring my make-up case with me- for the first time!!! No woman shall be allowed to leave the house without their make-up case. And so...manuka honey can't help me remove the pimple at the moment. Puik.

Thus, my post ends here. I'm going HOOOOMMEEEE~~~~
