Steffie's World

hellow saturday...

Hw's ur sat? Wif barely 3 hrs of sleep, i headed office for a 830am meeting. Tiring, so straight aft dat.. headed back. Dying to catch some sleep by noon, bt failed miserably. Went late lunch & den followed by tea in McDonalds... Tis McDonalds, any time any day filled wif ppl. The weather was horrible. I was whinning when havin lunch cuz its damn bloody hot. Unbearable. Aft lunch, it started to rain... unbelievable. The weather is juz so unpredictable these few days.

Came back fm e fashion shw... Nice. Its my first time to b invited, and i find it really cool to watch models aft models well dressed, catwalkin dwn.... i was practically drooling. I used to dream being a fashion designer... its cool to hav ur own labels, u noe. So during shopping, no matter which country, i wld purchase one or two fm those new own label fashion designer. Support mah. =D I still rem goin to TP chkin out their designing courses during open hse den. lolz. Every one has their own little little dreams which they given up along their course of living ya.

Nt quite in a pleasant mood.. quite dwn actually cuz i wld feel so lonely tonight... and agonising. URGH.

wat a night....

Had a farewell dinner... great laughters fm e guys... all had fun. A session where everyone unloaded built up frustration and let loose joking & laughing like madppl. BUT....Somehw, juz had to sigh. Dun wan to talk abt it.

I dread of tomorrow. Clue no. 1, tomorrow is mth end closing. Clue no. 2, tomorrow is oso quarter closing. Clue no. 3, tomorrow is oso time for quarter Q2 planning. Last clue, we r having a meeting wif our director on... e numbers. ^%$#*&@

The only thing which can look forward, prolly is whether there's round of wii... Sat decided to accompany a colleague to attend e Singapore Fashion Wk. OKIE, lets dun talk abt work!

The other day a fren was telling mi dat sometimes its impt to see those little little things which ppl do for u. Basically to b appreciative. Maybe this person overlooked something which is impt to u, bt yet again he/she might oso hav given u some other stuff which you overlooked.

In situations, we must give and take.

So... if recently, u r pissed wif ur special someone, ur family, ur frens over some small small things which he/she din do for u... try think fm another angle, wat r e things he/she has done for u.

yoz yoz~

Still havin running nose and slight cough, n med finished, so decided to pay a visit to the doc again tis morning. Doc gave mi a stronger form of antibiotics. I hav met few docs who self-proclaimed dat they seldom give MC, bt yet insisted to gimmie mi one. i nt so serious wat. Made mi hesitate to rest at home or go to work. You wld hav guessed my decision. =p Went back office aniwae, cuz promised lunch wif my colleague, whose last day is today. So sad. Gd thing is, we got to sit in his new Subaru.. ooohooo... nice nice. ^-^

Returning back office aft my leave, dunno why... i hav slowed dwn my pace @ work. Nt sure if its gd or nt.. Usually i wld rush work in office, came back still cldnt let go and continue to do some more.. bt tis time, even if the thots came in my mind, i pushed it out. =D Cld b also dat my body is acting on avoidance strategy, to avoid doin more work until nxt wk.. cuz nxt wk, i wld b takin on additional portfolio. Wld b super busy. Wish mi luck, i need lots of it.

Recently making some hsehold purchase decision.... its gd to see every one self-volunteer to do some research. Mum and Rob chkin out diff alternatives, pricing, specs.. Dad own-self oso go see see look look.. and he aldy engaged contractor. For mi? i where got time? lolz. i just in charge of digestin their respective info, decide and then pay. HAHAHA. So happy dat i dun need to do the leg-work. Tis is call delegation. HAHAHA.

first day back to work...

yup yup! first day back in office. tsk tsk.. thks for ur concern leh. Even got sms early in e morning to remind mi its my first day back. hahaha. So sweet. muackz.

nothing much.. still having flu. Find it hard to concentrate when talkin to my bosses, cuz having running nose. Lunch totally no appetite - first cuz eating wif my director, next cuz really juz tasteless. But dinner's appetite is much better... nt cuz i hav no issues on my mind... simply cuz i dun wan to think abt it. Sit there, building castle in the air oso good. haha.

saw my new colleague. aijor. told u philips no std for men. utter disappointment. haiz. No cute guys at all. BUT at least I bumped into dat one and only cutie on my way to lunch today. =D

Suddenly wish to hav a huge teddy bear to hug to sleep. Urgh. rainy cooling night... sleep well ya.

Wed - A day of fun & laughter, peace & joy ^^

Met shirley for lunch at Boat Quay - told her no chinese, no western, no jap food.. so.. korean food. lolz. Made mi rem my korean trip.
The snow in Jeju... the skiing... the weather.. oooo... i missed korea. =D Kimchi.. i rem wense din like kimchi, think he complained e daily kimchi servings. lolz. I'm pretty alright though. Oh, we learnt e makin of kimchi too. =D

Aft lunch, we hopped over to TCC for some drinks. Caught bit bit in e rain, and dats when i started to feel... nt so alright. The place was packed. wat made it worse was.. e service kinda lousy. But i love e design on e wall, though.

Was making my way to dwn to Raffles MRT station when i felt my temp raising. Cfm e rain la. Din noe there's quite a fair bit of shopping cld b done at e station, so got tis shawl at 15bucks. Nice hor. lolz. Quickly wrapped it ard, be4 makin my way dwn to potong pasir.

Went for their Mar Pre-moving promo 1 for 1 free treatment of Body Beautiful package. hehe. Full body fruitty scrub, body massage, plus full body slim & contour wrap + hot blanket. =D Shiok, it was more than the supposingly 2 hrs. ^_____^

sunday afternoon...... relax relax... =D

Had done wif my 2nd round of med. Urgh. i hate takin med! Every time i stared at tat greenie bottle of cough mixture, i wld curse "i hate u", before i forced it dwn my throat. Tonite, one last round, and i'm gonna bid it gdbye. =D

Came back fm my brunch, gd to see my parents at hm, i suggested hw abt a yr end trip - 1wk off to China, just the 3 of us. I pay. Dad shook his head, said - 1 wk gone, biz hw? -_-" URGH!!! i knew it!!!!! =@ Ask mi to bring my mum can liao. Cannot both of them go at the same time cuz need someone to manage e biz. WAH LAUZ!!! %$#@*&.... nvm, shall try again later.

Saw lotsa resume request la.. new job posting la.. seriously, i think e job market is gd nw, but.. wan change beta change nw.. cuz.. e economy soon aint goin to b gd ya. Saw herny invitation to multiply. Added her, and saw her posting on her boys. sooooo cute.

SO.. those who can sleep, pls b thkful cuz there's ppl like ME who dyin to sleep, bt cldnt sleep. AND.. those who can eat, pls b thkful cuz there's ppl like ME who dyin to eat, bt juz no appetite. URGH.   

Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel....

Yoz yoz....finally in lighter mood cuz condition is better as compared to the past 3 days. The nights are really nightmare cuz cldnt sleep cuz either vomitting or coughing.. every sec passed as though an hr. The min u laid dwn, u coughed like mad. I havnt slept well for the past few nights. Its horrible. My body was as though drained off any energy, cld really move ard. I got really depressed being so helpess.

Today went to see another doc... His med seems beta. Hope tonight can rest w/o coughing. HAIZ. Where got ppl take leave for 1 week, and den Thurs fallen sick till sun. ~_~ I might as well, dun take leave and take MC. Think He doesnt like me. hahaha.

I really kuku one. I took 2 bananas e other day for lunch - thinkin prob i din take enuff fruits. Dad was horrified to hear i took 2, he said bananas caught phlagm. WTF?!!!!!! Mum cooked fish soup, i filled e entire bowl of rice wif soup and drained it dwn. Dad gave mi tat "shocking" face and said fish soup will make mi cough even more. WTF?!!!! Then he went grumbling at my mum for preparing wrong food. WAH LAUZ.. say before i eat mah. Aft i ate liao, den tell mi. *&^%$

Got new colleague onboard. Hasnt yet get to see him. But Monday, can chk him out. My mini-boss asked mi nt to turn up for work if still unwell. Said scare virus spread. HAIZ. How mean. Must be sensitive mah. Ok lar, at least he's kind enuff to get mi thermometer and inhaler. OOH, i tell u... never trust inhaler. It never works, so... dun waste money to buy.

Found an online site.. i m so bloody happy and i m so sure its gonna keep mi really really busy. All thks to Roberto! muackz muackz =D

My one wk leave is up. Not going to touch my laptop till Monday. Gotta cherish myself more. If my one wk absense doesnt disrupt anything, den i am sure.... any work can delay till e next day. =D Actually i envy those ppl hor, who can leave on time, and hav time for shopping, for gym, for gatherings. Anyway, wat hav i done over e wk? Come to think abt it, nt bad too. Frens gatherings... facial.. massage... too bad my KTV cancel cuz i fallen sick. Dad went ahead wif his frens instead. URGH! Nvm, can always arrange again.

Bad weather

The weather has been really bad. So my dear friends out there, pls take care of urself.

The other day, followed my fren to this LANA Cakes. I rem Clare has mentioned this cake shop to mi before. Located at Greenwood avenue (behind National JC). She told mi they very yaya. Must reserve, otherwise dun hav any cake for u. hahaha. Hav lar, one can buy over the counter, just that super limited choices, dats all. Hmmm... dunno if taste good or not. See if there's any chance, can go there see see look look again.

Since we aldy at tat area, we decided to walk walk see see... wahz.. quite many eateries with nice ambiance, nice deco, beautiful table settings.. =D Food is not expensive, so you may want to chk out the place. If i hav chance, i wld love to go there to eat. But too bad, need car den can go. See hw ler.

My sister-in-law bought some cupcakes. I think cupcakes are really cute - small small cute cute. I have never eaten a cupcake before. No joke, and i have no intention of eating one oso. They are those type which it looks nice nice, chio chio, colourful colourful, but... u just dun wanna eat it to destroy everything. They prob also taste too sweet to my liking. haha. Ya... steffie needs huge amt of cravings for cake, den i wld feed on a cupcake. hahaha.

hi....

went to a couple of places.. Actually, i cld jolly well go back home to rest aft my lunch at Boat Quay cuz caught in the rain and caught a flu. =( Ended up, i decided to heck it and do wat i hav planned for. =D Anyway, I'm always sick wat.. dun wan to waste one precious day.

Yummy lunch and saw one cutie. Brainless cutie - dats why i say, looks dun mean anything....Anyway, aft lunch, we dashed fm one shelter to another to avoid the rain n den had tea in TCC. Went shopping for a shawl cuz bit bit cold. Got this bright purple shawl at $15. =D i quite like it. Satisfied and wrapped it ard my body, i went ahead to potong pasir to pay a visit to my fren's cafe. Promised her dat i wld visit her when i'm free. Caught in the rain again when i dashed across e road to e cafe. Urgh. This forbidden land is damn quiet sia. Even e mrt station has low traffic flow.

I luv e cafe. Spent a couple of hrs there to drink, read e magz, do my fav drawing, chit chat... before my next meeting at 6pm at Tanjong pagar. Fulfilling day, though nw i'm cladded in thick sweater, coughin like mad, nose tap failed to turn off. Urgh. See my condition tmr before proceed whether to carry on my planned activities or not. See hw. lolz. =p

heard alot of updates abt things happening in office. Actually nt suppose to, but i guess e best thing i can do nw is offer a listening ear. Soon - i'll b back. B patient.

i'm dead cuz...

needless to mention... it's yet another sleepless night. No coffee bt i had two pots of earl grey tea earlier on. lolz. aiya. nvm la. Havent done wif my harry potter yet.

Tmr's meeting shirley for lunch.. keke.. korean food. yummy yummy. Tis wk - no more fried food, no jap food, no western food.. n of cuz no coffee. =D Lookin forward to tmr's lunch, and..... need to go potong pasir oso if not, no time liao... and.. massage tonight.. HMMM... wonder if i hav enuff time or nt. Bt, wat e hell.

E other day, another mktin mger commented on the "powderful england" of e replied email fm tis msian service provider. WAHZ.. dunno cuz he too pissed off over her lousy services or he really has a sharp tongue. HAHAHA. He was so funny - commenting ppl's 'england' majiam 'direct translation fm cantonese' muhahahaha. So mean. lolz.

Actually at times hor, my boss scolded mi for being too critical as well leh. Bt he is nt dat kind either. He called mi obese when he's e one puttin on weight. I returned e favor by makin sure e world knows i put in a weighin scale in his room for this vain pot. Back to e 'being critical' steffie. Seriously hor..i wld really topple off if i hear ppl say "grass" instead of "glass"... "desert" instead of "dessert" ... "effected" instead of "affected"...and i wld flash a horrified facial expression whenever i heard super poor pronunciation. DEN, prob my colleague opposite caught hold of my look, and wld start laughing. =D Nt my fault wat. ANd i repeat - its pro-NUN-ci-a-tion. Ready for mi to slap you if you say pro-NOUN-ci-a-tion. i oso kena corrected by uni mates last time k. Speak properly la. My english oso super rotten at times. But, lets juz make e effort ya.

I rem everytime i read my someone's essay or watever, he sure kena scolded upside dwn by mi. "wat e hell u tryin to say?!!"... happy happy "present tense" here, happy happy "past tense" there.. e best is he "are", he "have".... wahz.. he really dunno which side of his face he wanna it to swell. Rem the infamous - "he called mi to call you to call him?" You got the point. muahahaha.

Urgh... 1.45am.. and eyes still wide wide.. ~_~ Gdnite, darlings!

Day 2.... =D

Woke up early morning, brushing my teeth, saw tis note specially for mi fm mum. So cute hor. Last time when i was young, watchin movies, always thot its really poor thing when kids got such hand written notes fm parents "mum's nt ard, lunch on e table. luv ya"... i always think its so damn sad. Haiz... ya, we also got such notes fm my mum.... nt juz "hsehold chores" la.. of cuz oso "breakfast or lunch" she prepared. SO... first task - laundries. ~_~

hehehe.... finally done up, pray pray rain wont come. Next is to feed allbert la..  kept yakin e whole morning. buay tahan.

Today went for my massage. Half way through, decided to do hand paraffin. anyway, i have like 50 lor. (dunno when i will finish). Hws paraffin hand therapy being done? Your hands are submerged into a warm wax bath (its damn bloody hot), my hands go in and out couple of times (dun forget, my skin super thin =p). In and out till the forms takes on the look of a glove.
Then the hands are placed in towels while i zzz. During ur relaxation stage, the muscles begin to release tension they may b holding, and e skin on the hands become rehydrated. So, when its over, your hands will feel smooth and soft. =D Aiya, basically its for soften hands, rejevenate skin color and ease joint stiffness la. But hor..painful leh. prob my threshold for pain is really low la... i majiam put my hands into hot water like dat!! ~_~'' 40over more times to go.. hw ar. urgh. Who wants to try?

My ulcer (i assume it is) is still sore and painful. Dunno which idiot ask mi to use salt over it. I almost screamed up the ceiling. Allbert for once kept quiet and looked at mi in horror. *&^%$

gosh... its aldy past 12am..

somehw i hav a feelin dat i prob wont get my sleep tonite. 1230am, eyes still wide. Urgh.

bad bad throat tis morning... effected cuz of the hole at e ceiling of my mouth. mi aint even sure if i can call tat GUM. So painful dat i rather skip my meals. It makes my throat really sore. Each chewing as the food touches the ceiling, its as though adding salt to e wound. Each swallowing is a pain in e ass. Urgh. To think, i still aim 3 proper meals everyday. Today i only had 1. So painful, hw to eat.

first day into my holiday - aldy fallen sick. shirley was saying dat we very ku-ming (bitter life)..once din work, fall sick. (Great minds think alike) lolz. Dats why i say, dun force mi eat bittergourd, cuz my life aldy bitter enuff. HAHAHA..

e other day, someone asked mi.. wats so major which made my body breaks dwn e way it did. If its nt abt work, den wat is it? It came to the tip of my tongue, but i pushed it back dwn. For watever it is, i can handle it. Wat worse can it be. =D   

sunday.....

ytd only managed to sleep at 6am ~_~'' Felt abit helpless abt it. Tis afternoon kept yawning while i was shopping. I tell u ah, lack of sleep seriously is no joke.. i felt the heatiness within myself... ended up, went to buy some fruits such as pears. Eat while i shop. So unglam. Nw.. bit bit headache and bad bad throat. URGH.

later sure kena scolded. "ask u nap, dun nap", "ask u dun take coffee, still take coffee", "ask u dun do work, u still do work", "ask u eat, dun eat" blah blah blah. AIYO. Men r born naggers - i tell u. My mini boss, my big boss alike.. same like my dad. i dunno sld i feel happy or not. So many times i went "ya ya ya ya.... did anyone ever tell u - u really nag alot????"

today i cooked pasta.. yummy yummy. Den.. i cooked dumpling. =O~ Only my dad and mum supported mi and gave mi face by finishing my tangyuen. =D Arhh...I tell u ah.. today, 1/3 of singaporeans r found in Jurong Point, 1/3 found in Parkway Parade, and the remaining 1/3 all in AMK hub. WAH LAUZ... i went to JP, AMK hub, really cursing hw cum so many ppl one leh ^%$#@. AIYO.

i've been tellin myself... constantly reminding myself. Even got partner, oso cannot neglect frens. Was talkin to my fren, she said cuz i kena neglected so understood e feeling. YAH.. so i told her, dats why we muz constantly remind ourselves... got partner oso cannot neglect frens. =D

Haiz... juz received a call dat no tanning liao. Judging e weather, i think its quite tough oso. Disappointed again. SIGHZ. watever lar. My wish for today - i hope i can sleep tonite... *pray pray*

a wk off.. granted.

i said i wanted a wk off - no work, no calls, no emails... my request granted. Where m i goin? no where. Bit bit disappointed dat cldnt go on batam cuz they said charbos go, too dangerous... Wish for Bintan sun-tanning, or KL shopping.. bt too last min, frens cldnt make it. If i go wif mum, i'll die of boredom cuz if i prob feel obligated to keep her entertained. All i wan is juz lie on e beach and tan. Ok la.. sentosa - here i come.

I hav lotsa things yet to do.. i havnt finish my Harry Potter, i havnt finish writing my story, n... i promised to visit my fren's cafe at the forbidden land... spa, massages... ktv..catch up wif frens.. So nw steffie has time, call mi lar~ =D i truly wish i cld b like some of my frens - juz sleep n nua at home. i cldnt figure out why i cant. Must do something one leh - ME. Cldnt nap, so here i am updatin my blog, and listening to Olivia's soundtrack. She's good. Chk out tis song of her "Fall in Love - Koini Ochite" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP7h-JAjS-g, My another fav of hers is "Sometimes When We Touch" =D

Ytd nite was Wii nite again. LOLZ. So funny. Even e ever cool mktin mger let his hair dwn - went ard jamming e Wii guitar like a rock star. N another mger was dancing away his para para steps. muahaha.

Wet wet thurs...

wet wet thurs... n here i am at home =D Dunno if its gd dat i din bring my laptop hm last nite, nw even if i wan do work, oso quite impossible. perhaps.. can go nap bit bit. ;D

had 2 farewell lunches for 2 diff colleagues on 2 consecutive days. HAIZ. cant bear to hav them go, bt to each his own. Wish them all e best ba.

my director is back fm his holiday. Urgh. been receiving so much feedback fm different colleagues abt their impression of him. U may face tough immediate superiors, bt once u hav a leader which ppl dun worship or look upon, the feet of tis organisation sink into mud. nt good, nt good.

my mktin team r a bunch of funny ppl. hw many times hav i mentioned right? though no open confrontation, among individually there's some bitchiness here n there. Like - we said tis colleague's new hairdo - like cleopatra's hairstyle juz dat its slightly below ear length. We were so mean to say her stylist prob use ruler and bowl to ensure its straight. =D U sld look at us playing wii. wah lauz. mad ppl almost bring the blding dwn. My boss was askin e gals hw cum din get e new gal out for lunch. immediately they defended and retorted dat e new gal oso din ask them out for lunch. Really cute.. sometimz made mi feel as though i'm wif some sec sch teenages who laugh even when e world comes collasping dwn. Their laughters really juz ring in ur ears. lolz.

mi on e other hand, whenever i work, become really serious. face straight and dun really like to joke ard. ppl usually keep a distance fm mi cuz.. i dun appear friendly. My face always contortioned like tis "~_~" HAHAHAHA.

I rem my director once told mi.. ppl who r too bubbly and chatty in office leads to impression of immaturity & lack of seriousness in work. Hmm... I personally think dat on other side of e coin, too serious and aloof like mi, aint gd as well cuz it'll impair ur relationship wif ur peers.

watever la. hope wld really go island creamery for ice-cream. =O~~ Hav cravings for ice-cream! =D

wat a cooling night....

Cooling night issit? Whole day been raining.

Mood is just as cool as the weather.. to correctly put it, as chilling.

Bit bit sianz. Had a long chat wif a fren. i agree dat its high time to put serious evaluations of wat i truly wan. Haiz.

Went on medication consultation tis morning. Was pouring when i stepped out of TTSH. Caught in and out of rain.. air-con and non-aircon environment.. by e time i reach toa payoh, its raining cats n dogs. Urgh, wan go back office oso not possible. Was abt to buy a brolly when bumped into 2 colleagues.

caught flu and i cldnt stop sneezing. Or at least wif my 2 colleagues, i tried my best to control my nose tap. lolz. Was really bad. went wif them for some tea. Wats truly miserable was, my eyes start tearing. Aft they left, i cld take it no more, dashed into Watson to get some flu med and mineral water. A long wait for my team for e farewell lunch. Was aldy running fever durin e lunch. Haiz. i deserved it - if i went hm aft e doc appt, all this wont happen.

there's too many 'if'... lolz. If i never come to Philips, my life wont b so screwed up. 

Pick up line...

Chk out tis pick up line -
xxx - "u.. looked like that 933 DJ - Mary Bukoh hor?"
sss - "huh? oh. ok." *forced smile*
xxx - "ya.. for once i thot my table got some celebrity leh"
sss - *polite smile - forcing to keep face straight"
xxx - "hey guys, dun u think she looks like dat 933 DJ Wuxu Mali?"
sss - *shy shy smile - veins aldy poking out*
e rest - oh ya.. nw u mention.. really hor!!!
sss - &^%$#

gd for him - he created an impression. bad for him - its a negative one. footnote: nobody likes to b shadow of somebody. *silly* ~_~

reminded mi of my auntie dragging her frens coming over to mi & mum saying e exact same thing. Onamae stephanie desu!!!! AIYO.

Had a tough day... though went in office afternoon, whole day i'm takin in food and throwing out food. Prob cuz travel fm Toa Payoh, to forbidden land potong pasir, den to town.. den back Toa Payoh.. Oh maybe its e driver's lousy driving skills which turn my tummy upside dwn. HAIZ. I cldnt allow no food intake, so last resort was to hav some fluid porridge to ease the food into e stomach during dinner time. HAIZ.

My american fren sent up a blog on blogspot. =D lolz. quite interesting especially e interactions among e bloggers (of cuz including mi where i shared couple of my thots as well). E joke of the day - there are really ppl who thot singapore doesnt celebrate V-Day. -_-'' "cuz its a western thingie" they said. HAHAHAH...

beautiful~

Some say love...it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love...it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love...it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love...it is a flower
And you-it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember...in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow...Lies the seed
That with the sun's love
In the spring..becomes the rose

sweet sweet sat.. ^O^

dun talk abt fri.. cuz someone made mi weep. &^%$#

tis morning reached office at 830am for meeting! its SAT! URGH. thk god got free lift and yummy McDonalds breakfast =D Bt abit stupid to take coffee cuz whole day had tis nausea feeling. yuckz. Ended up no appetite for lunch =S

In office, very often we used sametime. m always amused when mi and my colleague - typed '#$%&' to express our frustration. Majiam finding amusement in bitter situation. One day i was tryin to locate some file, bt kept harassing my Indian Chief "where is it?", "i cldnt find!!!", "wah lauz, where?!". Ended up he had to drop his work to go online to search for mi.... After i realised i created some blunders.. he typed *&^%$#*&^%+!

muhahahahahha. never expect him typing dat. so vulgar! tsk tsk.

Cannot go to my shop... went up, cldnt stop eating. Not bakgua.. bt... tidbits, drinks, ice-cream =0~~ lolz. any type of ice-cream. haha. juz open, and choose... same goes to drinks... open e fridge.. wide selection for u to choose. haha. Everyday go there, sure becomes ms fatty.

My parents r one hell of a chatty couple. Can talk to anyone, even when in cabs. AIYO.. Everytime when lazy to drive, take cab rite.... Dad wld strike up some conversation some hw or rather - talk abt politics, the economy. Mum? laggi beta - talk abt chinese herbs and medication. She n e cabbie was sharing abt remedies for tis n dat..... Oh.. even discussed on various characteristics of different dialects.  -_-'' m totally amused. Ok la.. gd dat they cld entertain themselves. So my chatty nature? u noe where i get it frm. =p

so happy tmr is fri...

my mood lighten a hell lot today.... cuz tmr is friday. And tis wkend, i think i can rest liao. =D tis morning, though there's tis critical meeting.... though half way through, my boss cldnt attend, and i had to answer his figures.... and was asked to attend another meeting on his behalf.. bit bit stressed. But overall, my mood is quite light. all cuz........ i wld hav a gd rest tis wkend. Sat - tis sat muz accompany mum go temple liaoz. ^^ Last sat had to postphone cuz doin work, plus sunday need to attend wedding. hmmm... have to get used to attending wedding alone. it has been a long while since i last saw him. so happy for him. m sure will see my church frens.

Be open.. Be positive..

Its amazing hw differing ppl's perception towards a situation can vary. But most imptly, its hw u viewed it.

I was helping out my team mate on some oral healthcare issues. One colleague was askin if kids can use, and his kids past 10 yrs old or sth. i told him - CAN, n we hav smaller brush-heads, which alot of our existing consumers brilliantly convert them for kids usage. My team mate openly cautioned mi - "stef, u hav to b careful on tat statement, cuz kids nt suitable to use cuz... blah blah".

During the breaktime, someone came to mi and asked - can see u and your tat team-mate nt on good grounds hor?! I was like HUH????

lolz. its so funny. creative juices went to the wrong way. When i heard her caution, i poked out my tongue - thinkin "oh shit, dun tell mi i hav been tellin ppl e wrong thing". Afterall, gotta trust her cuz she is the pdt manager leh. Besides, i admit my knowledge of oral healthcare is half-past six. Later on, both of us clarified and realised our definition of 'kids' are totally different. My 'kids' refer to kids 10 yrs old and above. Her 'kids' refer to kids 5 yrs and below. LOLZ.....

What amused mi is tat colleague who told mi "that so called observation". hahahaha.... Actually mi and my team mate quite alright one - no hard feelings at all. If i dislike her, i prob wont bother to help her at all. HAHAHHA...

2 points to make -
if u were gunned dwn or being corrected. Take it positively as a learning. BUT of cuz, dun take it blindly, always clarify. Like this case - the pdt can b used by kids (10yrs n above), bt nt suitable for kids (5 yrs n below). So it never kills to clarify.
next.. for onlookers, dun always assume things on the surface level. one openly gunned dwn the other person doesnt mean - he/she wants to hit under the belt or openingly trying to embrass or a sign of revenge or a sign of "SEE - they nt on gd terms". Its positive conflict k. lolz. Ppl dun smile at u, doesnt mean ppl hate u ya.. Prob like mi - face always in frown during concentration. =D

Aniwae, Mon - missed my kickboxing. M sure my trainer missed mi cuz she asked my colleague where's MI. Aft being told i was occupied in meetin, my trainer asked mi to go today. Bt was disappointed to hear i hav full day meetin offsite today. URGH!!! i hate it when i missed my kickboxing. ~_~

Was bathing half way den rem dat i forgot to book the restuarant for friday's dinner - urgh.. someone gonna kill mi. DAMN. tmr die oso muz rem. Ahhh.. great news, cuz received a call fm someone dear... who finally finish e exam, got time to meet mi liao. lolz. ^^

Thk God, its over...

Thk God, its over.

Really tiring, i looked at the individual mkters, all shacked out. E nights of Fri, Sat, Sun and mon... gosh, unbelievable. Thk god its over. =D

A great platform to kick start the teamspirit, i think its gd dat e mkters are opening up and sharing among themselves. Too used to hav sales shooting e individual pdt managers dwn, nw e mkters all stand together as a team, i m certain we can protray a stronger front. =D Of cuz i look forward to synergies and sharing of learning.

BTW, those who love coffee like mi - beta dun drink wif an empty stomach. It turns ur stomach upside dwn. I learnt it always e hard way. So uncomfortable and puked like nobody biz. Yucks! So.. at least hav some food before u drink coffee. Rem ya.

Caught few mins of e Hongkong celebrities sayin their byes to veteran Hongkong actress Lydia Sum. So sad. Her ex-hubby, Adam Cheng was called up by one of the mourners aka some celebrity who i duno, to go up to stage and clarify watever watever. He went up wif his daughter, Joyce, and faced the world n clarify everything. AIJOR..... why bother? Dun understand.

I was chattin wif my colleague the other nite. She said if she was accused or wrong, she wld stand up and argue till it was cleared. Cool. For mi - i told her, i cannot b bothered if dat person dun really deserve my time and effort. Why bother. DATs another side of e coin. Waste time, waste effort, waste energy. =D
