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~~~~

You'll have the impression that those around you are constantly spying on you or talking ill of you behind your back. But examine the situation more closely, and you'll realize that your impression is totally false. Have confidence in those who deserve it and don't wear yourself out criticizing others. Do whatever you can today instead of postponing it until tomorrow. Your love affairs will be favored. However, don't believe too readily all the promises that will be made to you.

Confused About Changing Careers?

Will changing careers significantly lower your earnings?
Before scrapping your interest in a particular career because of its lower income, Piotrowski suggests you do the following:

• Do some research to find out how professionals in that field make it work for them. Do they have multiple jobs? Expand their work areas to generate more income? "For example, my neighbor is a potter. In addition to making and selling beautiful wares, he teaches pottery-making lessons," says Piotrowski.
   
• Assess what the likelihood may be that you could eventually earn enough income within a reasonable amount of time.
   
• Consider cutting your expenses and banking the money saved before making the career change to see if you can survive on that level of pay. (done that!)
  
• Keep in mind that the skills you've earned in former careers will help you progress faster than someone with less experience and may allow you to earn better pay more quickly than the average worker in your new career field. (agree!)
  

Don't have the right education or training?
"A lack of a certification or degree can be a maddening roadblock for career changers. Rather than throw away an excellent career possibility, consider these avenues to work around or through such barriers," Piotrowski says.

• Begin at the bottom. Beginning in an entry-level position makes it easier to get started in your chosen field. Once you're in, you will be more likely to discover avenues to obtain the training you need, and may even be able to have your employer pay for it.
   
• Aim for a position that requires less training. "For example, if you want to be a physical therapist, but don't want to complete several years of college to get your degree, you could become a physical therapy technician instead. Frequently, technicians can be trained on the job or with just a year or two of formal instruction." (can my degree make me do something like this? i think it's possible)
  

Torn between two or more careers?
When it comes to choosing between multiple career passions, there's no rule that says people must pick one or the other. Below are Piotrowski's suggestions for juggling multiple career-change opportunities: 

• Create a "muffin tin" career. "Typically, when you think of having a career, you imagine it to be a single profession that you immerse yourself in and develop over time. Another possibility is to select more than one career and to execute them simultaneously. So, instead of developing a single 'loaf' of a career, you might create several 'muffins,'" Piotrowski explains.
   
• Become a serial careerist. If the "muffin tin" approach is too scattered for your tastes, consider committing to one career for a few years, then pursuing another, and perhaps another. There's no rule that says you have to stick with one specialty your entire life.
  

KARA's new song is simply addictive! I was a bit skeptical to hearing their comeback song after reading their MV review because there were so many colors in it, so I thought it was another cutesy tune. But surprisingly, after hearing the beat during the intro, I was all "Aaah...me like this!" Plus it sounded like HSM's 'All for One' as well. And after reading the translation, I was thinking "OH! This should be the song of the week!" Hee :D Oh, and yesterday night, I went crazy on Brown Eyed Girls. Was on Youtube watching their old performances during 2006 and Ga-In looks..different with long hair. And Miryo and her braided hair.,..powerhouse! I don't have to say anything about their vocals. They're simply superb! I am totally digging this song at the moment :

 

YEE-HA! We did it! Me and Pei managed to overcome all obstacles and created history! And that's all I can say for now. The adrenaline rush was what I expected, although we didn't manage to complete the final stage. But the whole time I was on the lookout for fear of hearing this sick voice asking "Having fun girls?" and then I will freak out and my mind will go blank and I bear the heavy consequences...but NOOOO..none of that happened so it was a big whew. I guess we were lucky when we made that smooth escape and then pretending like we just attended a short discussion. People might say what we're doing it's completely bonkers, but I'm living it up. Like what this email I got from Alyssa Abbey. Today's topic is 'Real Life Vitality Tips' and one of the tips was "Make work fun - it's up to you!" And so we did! And I will cherish that moment :D

It's only Tuesday but it feels like as if we're nearing the weekend though. Perhaps I've been REALLY slacking at work and not doing much. I've been opening up files and then pretending to be busy. And it stinks! I occasionally surfed the Net..mainly to look for pictures or lyrics. Or reading Wikipedia. I can't be possibly hogging the Net most of the time since the IT dept is watching us like a hawk. But there's always the constant email-chatting..so there's a little bit of something to keep you awake. But it still tiring to put a pretence and making yourself look awake and alert. Blegh.

As of right now, I'm currently irritated with the sudden itch that is on both of my arms, shoulder and back area. The itchiness is a good thing actually because of the bad cells being kicked out by the new cells but the temptation to scratch those itchy areas is making me MAD!! I cannot scratch it for fear of developing scars and increasing the redness so I ended up hitting my arms just so I won't let the fingers do the talking. If you want to know why, I've been consuming Cellfood and thus this is the results. It just shows how much junks I've been taking and now the Cellfood enzymes and minerals are getting rid of it by torturing me. Also shows that I should be slowing down on those junk foods! Here's the website if you want to know more about Cellfood (www.cellfood.com). Read it up and I recommend you to use it to have a healthier better lifestyle. What I'm doing is putting in 22 droplets of the Cellfood into a 500ml bottle of mineral water and then drink it from there. Voila!

At first I was getting paranoid that the red dots on my arms thinking that maybe the massage I got last Sunday has got something to do with it. Yeap. The free facial came with a arm and shoulder massage as well. The facial was great and relaxing and the lady was really nice and friendly. God bless her, really! I am also surprised at the way she thinks because she completely understand what I am going through and agrees that my OT hours were pure torture. Oh, and I got my blackheads pick at again and it still hurts even though she was just using her fingers to take them out. I was already clenching the towel in my hand and hoping that tears won't be streaming down my face. Cause the first time I got my blackheads picked out, I was bleeding on the forehead and I was in tears :x Beauty is pain? And then one thing I don't like during the finale is that the therapists don't usually make sure that your face is not too waxy or greasy etc. Cause this is the 2nd time that happen to me like and I was like WTF. My face felt slightly waxy and there was stuff sticking on the cheeks and chin as well. And it turns out to be the residue from the mask -_-" OH. And I did say that I won't give in to the sweet promotion...but I ended up getting the cleanser and toner at a super combo price and you can go ahead and scold me....but it was a good deal to me. Rebecca Bloomwood will SO agree with me. Hah!

I attended my first Humanities II lecture yesterday and met up with some of the old classmates. I haven't checked whether we're going to be in the same tutorial class but oh well....I can always make new friends right? Although I actually don't plan to, but I simply just cannot shut the world just because of one ugly incident right? It's unfair to those who wants to get know you but you ended up giving them the cold shoulder when those new acquitances are not to be blame. I'm just afraid history will repeat itself, that's all. And I'm sick...and will be sick to either clean up the mess or rot there.

 

I think I like today?No-no, I REALLY love today. I love my Tuesday the July 21st. Because today's surprises were really random and it falls into place nicely like a cherry top on a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream. Hmmm..so maybe that's a bad metaphor but who cares! But before I go any further, i would like to say that I am really proud of the WonderGirls making their first TV appearance in an American show and then kudos to Brown Eyed Girls for their kick ass comeback! I just finished listening to 'Addiction' and I love love it. And then there's Abbracadraba which I didn't came out already and I can't wait to see their MV. I liked their ballads because of their powerful vocals and then it's rare to see them dance. Their City Girl concept..kinda remind me of Gossip Girl-elite get up. But I like what Narsha is wearing..cause it's stripes! And I think Kit was trying to achieve Ga-In's haircut..but she still looks great though. I kept pestering her to get highlights. And be bold in her make-up once in a while. I swear heads will turn if she turns up looking bootylicious one fine day!
 

Wheee.. www.imop.wordpress.com (my all time source for K-pop news) just did a post on them and I couldn't agree more about BEG for their powerhouse talent and vocals! I love them to bits. Just like how i love my Tuesday. LOL XD And the funny thing is I'm keep listening to The Veronicas 'When It Falls Apart' and the starting of the song goes "I'm having the day from hell...." Hahaha..well..no..I'm completely floating on Cloud Nine.

Why? Well, because me and Pei actually ended up running an errand for our lady boss after our consultation regarding a few SGFA matters. I was already in a happy mood since I wasn't late and reached office at a reasonable time. With a good breakfast and hot cup of coffee. I actually forgot about the meeting until I was in the train and then was a bit in a panicked mood thinking whether I had all the drawings ready. But then everything went well and Rose told us to drop by Joo Chiat on the way to get her a few things for a wedding. And NOOO..we didn't take our own sweet time shopping for her stuff.

Our moods immediately picked up during the consultation because the officer was real nice to us, unlike the previous one we met some time ago. And we were joking about his uniquely-design magnifying glass..even the officer himself was random and wasn't being all big shot about his job. After the meeting, we took a taxi to Joo Chiat and the taxi driver and us were bopping our heads to the music playing. Enrique's "I'm Not in Love" was playing and I was telling Pei that Kit should listened to that song after receiving the heartbreaking news.

And Pei haven't been to Joo Chiat before and it was nice showing here the clothes and to know that she appreciates what was happening. See, I told you she's one of a kind. I'm not singing praises or anything but I somehow got used to the people around me who are not that bothered about each other's culture and beliefs no matter how many times you tell them why we can't do this and that. But Pei's different. She's curious and wants to know more even though sometimes my explanation may be a bit off. So yeah, after hanging out at the craft store which was like heaven to us we went off to get lunch. And this time, no arcade available. BUT, we get to eat REAL food. I took her to this restaurant which is known for it's 'mum's cooking' concept and Pei was asking whether 14$ was enough. And I told her "It's more than enough!" since everything there is at an affordable price! And she fell in love with the delicacies there. Her eyes were like roaming around at the spread of the food on display and she couldn't choose which one she wants so she ended up having what I was having. And it was really nice just sitting at a very comfy place with music playing in the background and just soaking in the 'homey' atmosphere. It was a different setting compared to the foodcourt we usually go to since it's too loud or too bright and we have to be discreet everytime we feel like gossiping. HAH.

And then it was Siew Foong's birthday celebration that got everyone go ga-ga. And it was only the 2nd day of the week and yet we're treating it like TGIF. The photos proved everything! Goofy smile, candid poses and then not to mention..I had many versions of 'cable-car' rides today. What's that you ask? Well it's actually Pei's version of when you and your crush stared at each other for a few seconds and then you got that crazy voltage and you'll go hyper all the way. I received plenty today from him. LOL XD And I didn't manage to do a single task today because i was up and running and then talking random stuff with the team. I left quite early today as well. YAY. Smooth escape =D

I think it was yesterday's night feast sort of brushed it's magic on today..that's why I feel so so so so GOOD. The three of us sat on the steps, eating our donuts and hot dog buns ad simply watched the night come to live. And Pei said we sound like bitches since we're making a LOT of noise. I agree..but I can't help to fill in about the day's events. Monday's was nice, but Tuesday's waaaay COOLER. What's in store for Wednesday...I wonder. I guess you making the right start in the morning will/have/might a tremendous effect on how the whole day will flow. Don't you think so? Staying positive (in my case) can be pretty tiring at times because let's face it, it's either you're surrounded by shitty people who say shitty stuff and whine about their shitty life, or God is mad at you for something that you did and he's punishing you in the most cruel way possible. I don't know. I always assume it's either those two options.

So yes. I'm going to Zzzz Land now. And wake up bright and early again. And shall await for a new day to begin.

Good night.
