skipped dinner cuz was talkin to a colleague on some numbers till 11pm, reached hm, no appetite, BUT.. at least grabbed a cool jelly fm e fridge. My brain juz told mi i need sth COLD.. so took one bottle of hoegaarden & drained it dwn. =D Shiok. but DAMN, it means i cant take my pills later. opps. Tis muz bring to coffin sia, otherwise i will face endless nagging.

One day of freedom, and i broken all bans. DIE. Nanny gonna nag - told u no coffee, u still drink; told u must eat, u still skip dinner; told u muz take pills regular, u drink and u din eat ur pills!!!!!

omg. Cross e bridge when i reach. Tmr.. i shall deliver my commitment.

feel like taking a long wk off. A wk wif no calls, no emails, no laptop, nothing abt work. I think dat can b done. Juz a matter of whether can i convince myself to let go of work totally. I think can la. If continue w/o a break, i think i'll tender sooner or later. E body is breaking dwn. Prob go away in March. Muz find kakis. =D

its late.. gona sleep. hope can sleep well.

m sooo tired!!

So tired! Last nite i slept like 430am. AIYO, its damn bloody frustrating on tis insomia! I din even had coffee! Its a drag to wake up tis morning, and i majiam zombie in office. Purposely went on to kickboxing though i had wanted to come back to rest. To drain all my energy, and hopefully tonite will sleep like a pig. *amen*

=p

I hav a new found 'nanny' in office - one who self-volunteering ensure i take my daily meals, forced mi to eat my greenies, banned my intake of caffaine, demanded dat i calculate my BMI n wanna chk on my weight to ensure it only goes up and nt dwn. %$#@ AIYO! Ban COFFEE! felt like slapping tis idiot.

SO....Today i quietly went to pantry for a cup of coffee....... %$#@ e machine broke dwn! WAHZ... cursed and swear. @_@ Aniwae... i shall hav my free-flow of coffee for e next three days. =D As much as i missed my 'nanny', i hav freedom of coffee, tea... plus i eat as what i wan, as when i wan. ^O^ "Freedom~ i wont let u down, i will not give u up~" 

Recently we hav a new mkting exe on board. lolz. poor gal, its like e entire mkting team juz loathe her for watsoever reason. Damn funny. When e gal powers combine, e mkting babes went yak yak yak and gossiped abt her. HAHAHAHA - dunno e stand of e other 4 gentlemen. Bitchy lot!

Enuff, lets see nw at 11pm, i go lie dwn, i see wat time i koon. i wish i can sleep well tonite. *wink* I beta do, cuz tonite no kakis to chitchat.... Urgh!

cooling sunday night...

Reaching one am.... and my eyes are still wide like e goldfish.. cant sleep. I have came to a point where i no longer panic even when e clock strikes 3am, and i'm still tossing and turning..

quite frustrated these few days abt work. Reached a cross road and unsure hw to move ahead. pretty unsettled when my boss asked mi to leave if i hav gotten beta offer. perhaps, my job performance really aint up to expectation. anyway, leave e work worries to tmr.

nw at where i'm seated, lookin out the window... the sky's clear.. and its really windy. Hw nice to go out take a breather. =D bt at 1am alone, i muz b mad.

Fri, cldnt get to sign up the yoga class cuz its FULL! wah lauz... philips has 4000ppl leh, hw can they merely opened a class for 25ppl ONLY. aiyoo, speechless. There it goes - gone my fulfillment of new yr resolution. damn it... need to go search ard. Sat, i was at Marina Square where this CTC havin their travel fair, tie in with Safra... was glued to the stage where 3 ppl were performing their yoga. wahz.. damn cool leh. hmmmmm... a bit tempted. but they are too pro liao, i only half-hearted super green horn charbo. lolz.

tmr's my kickboxing. must rem to drink dat 100plus. otherwise, cramp sure kena suan in front of everybody again. ~_~''

i hate meetings...

URGH... meetings r really givin mi bad headache. Ytd, i reached office 9am.. before first meetin ends at 930am, aldy kena summoned into another meeting till 4pluspm... killing man. Den, another one fm 5pm till 7pm. OMG! effectively speaking, i'm stuck in meeting fm 9am till 7pm!!!!! *SCREAM!*

Today's e last day of cny. While heading home, i saw e round round moon. So beautiful. =D kinda disappointed dat last day of cny i hav to work so late. Till i lost my appetite sighz. Did i mention dat i hav to last min cancel my appointment. dats e sad part.

I complished one of my new yr resolution. I've signed up tmr's yoga class. lolz. I hav kaki - same as kickboxing, so sure will go one. lolz. Fri - bit bit sianz, bt nvm la. M surprised dat my boss wana sign up oso. Kinda sweet cuz e wife mentioned he never liked yoga. Can sense she really wanted him to participate e sports she truly enjoy. Gd hor. So sweet. I guess, its normal for us to wan our other half to share & experience our hobbies. Den hav common topics, can even practice n hav fun together - spend more quality time! See - shared common likes, got a lot of goodie advantages one. lolz.

One thing i loved to do wif my partner was singing! ^^ But actually, if he cant sing, he can listen to mi sing. HAHAHAHA. My voice still can hear. nt dat bad. *wink* No matter hw many classes i attend, i still find it weird to see guys doin yoga. Very gay. HAHAHAH. So, i wont wan my man to do yoga wif mi. I used to practice yoga at home, while my partner played his PSP. I got giddy tryin to join his game, he got muscle ache tryin out my yoga. HAHAHAHA. Morale of story - dun try too hard. =D

Birthday....

Too full cuz had a late botak jones dinner near my workplace. So.. while letting e food digest... i update my blog la. lolz. Was on facebook... den keyed my birthday.. and it showed up tis...

Based on your birthday ...

You neither want to be interfered nor have the desire to mess with others' life. But you are friendly and occasionally a party animal. You are always in a circle of friends. You often do things in your own way that occasionally go beyond the acceptable limit. People may find you childish and not very attractive in that sense. Your Love, Your fun-loving character attracts opposite sex. Many of those are great. You often find yourself trapped among a few great guys while you have to choose only one.

LOLZ.....

wats ur way of destress??

Every day u r swarmed wif info.. emails.. meetings.. stress issit? Wats ur way of destressing?

Mine was hanging out wif frens, and of cuz havin coffee. But recently, i cut dwn coffee alot cuz aldy insomia, so its beta nt to take in too much caffaine.

another thing which calms my mind was out in the open, under the stars.... Black sky litted by stars - pretty. Its always when e stress level hit mi real bad, i wld hav e strong urge to get out for fresh air. E sad thing is its nt as though u can find kakis. It can be quite boring for some.

My kickboxing - e trainer when saw mi running in cuz late again. She was "one, two, one, two....... where's ur 100plus?!!" Lucky, tis time i poured in my bottle, i pointed to my bottle, she rested her case. No cramp. hahahaha. She is juz toooooo focus on mi. =p My colleague, aka my kickboxing partner and also my director's PA, she so nice leh. For my sake, she ordered 100plus into the pantry. HAHAHAH.. she said scared i forgot to drink before kickboxing, so she ordered in for my sake. AIYO... touched leh!!!! Den so nice, pour into my bottle for mi. =D

Yhew~ Finally home..

They say mi resembles my mummy.. waddaya think?

Its like lookin at mi - immediately asked : u r whose whose daughter ah? Eh, u looked like ur mummy leh.
=D at least i noe i'm my mum's child. =pp muahahahaha....

Dad was makin fun of mi of my campin trip last nite. He went - "wahz, ytd nite played till wat time?" All uncles n aunties' eyes all looked at mi. I quickly rebuked "aijor, need to relax mah. Stayed at hm, saw dat laptop, always ended up doin work. So decided to throw laptop at hm, go out and relax. At least had a peaceful sleep =D" Heee... distracted him - cuz everytime i mentioned abt work, he wld forget abt watever he's lecturing abt, he wld go - "Really dunno wat kind of job she got, work till so late at home, always working blah blah blah".... Now - who says Daddy wont nag????

Aniwae, e gals had a hell lot of fun on my camera. Till it ran low of battery. Each took turn to snap e other. Gosh - photographer in e making! Ended up, i allowed the elder one go ard wif my camera snappin to her heart's content. lolz. Some picz r really "got body no head" muahahahaha...... Stick to mi like superglue. Really adore them. =D

End of wkend....

bit bit under e weather.. caught a flu. Dun understand why my place turns so windy during the evening time. Urgh. Hope it wont turn into fever later on...

later still hav to 'show face' in shop. The usual CNY feast - a platform to celebrate cny, and oso to thk those who helped out during the BBQ period. Sometimz dun understand why need to go through such formality. Nt as though we come fm super duper rich family. bt can u imagine any big scale family gatherings, u r expected to turn up to 'show face' ~_~'' Den e usual - OOh... tis is ur son.. oh.. ur daughter (qian jin).... blah blah blah.

Ytd worked in office e whole day! Cant believe it. Meetin frm 10am and den 2nd round aft lunch till 7pm. N i think despite all these preparation, i m still nt confident for tmr's meeting. Somehw i think i'd kena screw upside dwn. *nervous* I'm really stressed up whenever i need to meet my director on shaver numbers. It sucks big time when e world looks at mkting ppl when the sales targets r nt met. I seriously think Philips sales ppl are damn fortunate. Why i say that? Cuz mkting ppl answer for salesmen' incapability in meeting their sales target and cuz mkting ppl r e ones who kena f#$@ upside dwn for things which r nt within their control. Hw yucky can it b, goin into a meeting knowing full well u wld b kena bombed. -_-''

Anyway, ytd was too pissed having to work on Sat and some hurtful comments made by some idiot, so decided to take a breather - i left for camping site late last nite. Nothing on sales numbers, but on literature discussion. lolz. We were discussing thro e night on our views pertaining to countries acceptability on English language cuz they believe it destroys their culture. Wahz..chim right. hahaha. Discussed till 2am in the morning! LOLZ. Bt we had a gd laugh reading someone's summary page.

Hw's valentines' day celebration? So gd dat i heard some went on short holidays leh. Aijor, i oso want! My boss got a big teddy bear and a bouquet of flowers leh. Bit bit jealous cuz i dun hav! ~_~ lolz... I was joking wif my FC dat prolly e wife trying to hint to e whole world to keep their hands off her hubby. =p i so mean. Aniwae, those flowers made mi rem of dat time i sent some sunflowers to my ex-bf's workplace - cant rem it was birthday or anniversary or valentines day. i juz feel we ladies can send flowers for our men too~
Happy belated valentines day, my frens. Hope it had been fun~ =D

Hmmm... wonder if its time to get e hell out of Sin for a long wk off. Sometimz i ponder if its for recuperation or its for escapance. wat the heck. We'll cross e bridge when we reach.

=D Friday - ended wif a tasty coconut~

Was really exhausted till 10mins ago.... when my mum presented one coconut to mi. =O~~ I love coconut... aiyo.. e meat... aiyo.. e tasty coconut water. It drained all built up frustrations lolz ^^ So tasty. yummy yummy.

I very tired leh. Tmr still need go office. Urgh. Today we went visit this Lion's Home to celebrate CNY wif e old folks in the morning.. they r so poor thing. We sang, we chitchat wif them la, fed them la.. i love singing. lolz. hokkien songs la, english songs la, mandrian songs la.... I din even eat leh. I was feedin this old granny who has difficulty holding the utensies...my GM so kind, gave mi a plate of food so i cld eat tog.. then tis old auntie sittin next to mi... ~_~ she hijacked my crab meat first.. n threw back into the plate... den she used HER HAND to scop up one handful of noodles and stuffed into her mouth. %$#@ (@_@) omg.. *faint* There goes my plate of lunch. So ended up, i gave it to her, losing total appetite. Barely 3mins, she pushed e plate back to mi!!! *&^%$#@ *vulgar x 2* WASTE FOOD LEH!

I was so drained on my way back..dozed off a while. my colleagues majiam kindergardens kids first time goin out excursion. yak yak yak yak yak... AIYO! Boys and Girls alike. Initially i was still hopin, can lean onto my neighbour take a quick nap, ended up, my dear neighbour majiam tat gangster head leadin the entire team rocking the bus. SIGHZ..........................

wkend aint goin to b fun.. cuz next wk is horrible wk.

kinda upset dat 2 of my colleagues tendered. See - i knew e farewell parties never goin to end. Its as though every mth, we r havin a farewell party. Life's gonna b so bored wif 2 of them gone...

Happy Lunar New year~

Mina, happy lunar new year! Tis yr our Bakgua sold out pretty early. Wld like to thk Cruz for introducing his fans over =D Free boxes of bakgua awaits u~ How's ur CNY celebration? On CNY eve, got nothing to do, so first time do my own nails. lolz. nice? Nt sticker hor. Simple simple, nt so chim, still alright. I so char-bo recently. lolz. Clare saying if i start my own biz, she can be store assistant. lolz.

So, got lotsa angbao? Every yr i represent my mum to distribute the angbao. Dad forbide mi tis yr - cuz said i not married, represent oso cannot. Wahz, i hav been doing for so many yrs liaoz leh. nw den say. kaoz.

Back to e topic of nails. Mrs Ling n I were reading through some bloggies and then we were commenting on a blogger's manicure.. i said nt nice cuz its full white and too complicated... she agreed and champion she went - her hands very haggard and ugly. *faint* Den we swore we cldnt b like dat. So its Moisture Cream for my hands and Masks for hers. ^O^ I hope mine still got hope. =p

Anyway, went Sentosa wif my parents n bro & gf. Had a hell of good times, minus off the long queues for everything. My folks were enjoying hell lot at underwater world. Damn funny. Tired bt at e end of e day, we really had quality time. U noe them one lar... can never give up one day of their biz... so cny is really e only time they r free. I dun mind paying everything, just as long as they willing to spare their time out. =D I know, i'm filial. muahaha.. =p

Chk tis out. We are havin this trade cny dinner where e theme is to dressed up 50s-60s etc etc. Chk out my costume selected at Aliwah Street. AIYO - tat place is full of different themes of costumes - accessories, shoes etc etc. I think rental is ard $50. Been bugging my colleague to send mi some of the picz taken while we were trying out different costume. Will share wif u later on. its a hell lot of fun.

The only days when mummy cooks...

CNY days r e rare moments where we get to taste mummy's cooking. =D N rare moments where e 5 of us got to hav dinner together (other den fathers' day, mothers' day, n their birthdays).. so its 8 days out of 365 days, we get to hav dinners tog. Gosh - hw pathetic. But well - beta den nothing. ^O^

Today then i realised dat my mum n bro thot dat i m seeing someone and hav tis bf hidden somewhere. ~_~' aiyoo... my bro bumped into mi and my erm.. fren, and immediately told mummy dat ''sista's bf finally surfaced" AIYO! ~_~' *faint*

YOZ!! Happy Lunar New Year!!!! Luv tis yr cuz longer holidays - meaning get to rest longer. M sure when it reaches sun, my mood will plunge cuz i hav stuff to hand in on Tuesday, and i hav no idea hw to do it. Gotta seek my boss's help liaoz.

My ox... =D aiyoooo.... everytime mentioned abt him, my grin is tis wide ^______________^ *giggle* Dat day met him and while talkin to him, half way, my mind started to wonder off. While nodding to his words, my eyes scanned through his features and cldnt help bt think - actually he quite cute leh. HAHAHAHAHA!!! i also buay tahan myself. lolz. Cute guys dun tell mi - u wont bio. I juz openly admired him, dats all. muahahahaha.....

On e topic of cute guys... we hav a new mktin manager onboard. Quite cute oso - well builted, tanned, has one diamond earrin on his ear too. i noticed his few white strands of hair - its normal. Den e next day he went dyed it black. Was jokin abt it. All e male managers (though 30plus) all got white hair - they juz hide well under their black dyes. HAHAHAHA. Anyway - one of our colleagues tabao lunch for us. i wrote him a love note tellin him e lunches ready in the pantry. He went in to e pantry first, den came up to my desk if i wanted to join him. Pretend first la - "said later" *giggle*. First time had lunch wif him alone. AIYO..... my grin also tis wide ^_______________^ BUT.. pretend bit bit la. Act cool abit - again buay tahan myself. lolz. We chatted abit here and there... Its funny cuz alot of ppl seems to think i worked in philips very long. Anyway.. He nt so daring when it comes to our costume selection for our CNY dinner. Wasted.

Tis yummy yummy wafers fm amsterdam. Suspected my boss din buy mi anything when he came back. Bt cuz i asked him directly in office, think he bo bian had to answer yes, den went back home to dig out a box of wafers for mi. lolz. I think he sees mi as a devil. He ah.. everytime go Amsterdam buy food one leh - chocolate la, den nw wafers la. I prefer his Dubai trips, cuz i got bear~ My grin was tis wide ^__________________________^ He sld buy mi a bigger bear next time, den i can hug to bed. =D Dunno if he got mi anything frm portugal.... prob nt. Sighz. AY! Dun say i thick skin hor.... i hav every right to hav something fm him when he goes overseas hor. His "away" email is damn powerful leh - "I am away blah blah blah... anything look for 'Stephanie'". WAHZ.. my jaw dropped to e floor e instant i read his email.

So... we need to b kind to each other. He needs to be exceptionally nice to mi. Cuz when i away - i always put, i will reply to ur email when i'm back. Hahahahaha.....

Finally finally finally.. =D

FINALLY!!!! Bulk of the BBQ done up. ^___________^ We were juz so so so happy. Today my bros and i were aiming to clear 7 carton boxes of bakgua... hoping leaving tmr to bbq those few hundred kgs of bakgua in the 2 mega freezers.

Little did we expect... we cleared both the 7 carton boxes of few hundred kgs of bakgua... plus those in the freezers. ^-^ However, we were really dead tired. Our right hands aldy turned yellowish (kena bbq alive), fingers full of blisters.. my feets r so painful too!!!! BUT... lolz... we had our fair share of laughters and jokes la. We sang... we laughed and we jeered at one another. 3 pit set up, 2 ppl bbq each and 1 in for exchange... 2 sales persons... 4-5 packin.. Every one contributing to their individual 'dept' of work. lolz.

Gosh, i din noe dat fm sin to portugal is so long leh. 12am fm sin... reached frankfort for transit at ard sin 4pm - gosh..10over hrs. Reach portugal at ard 8pm. Tis is madness sia. Cant imagine hw to tehan being cropped up in the plane. I'll go mad esp for mi tis type of traveller who cldnt sleep on plane.

i havnt hav time to do my hair - to get rid of tat bakgua smell, no time to shop for cny clothes, no time to shop for cny deco and goodies. my god. But.. its alright. lets juz take it easy. Cannot everything so kancheong, must take it slow. =D
