no.. this is not a mistake in the title..
it's ANOTher mistake.
another mini fiasco abt me n my car.
i just got informed by ms secretary that my car headlights were still on.
STILL ON!
that would mean it was on continuously for 6 hours!
my poor battery! my poor $$$!
ok and so i rushed down in my stinkin' wet shoes and turned off the lights.
and im reminded of the xxx security guard who not v nicely asked me to shake off the water from my umbrella jus now..
he was like 'shh', pointed to my umbrella, 'shake first'.
wah lau. i wanted to diao him.
say excuse me la!

anw.. i 've been reading blogs the entire morning. v interestingly, i stumbled upon 3 933 DJs' blogs. was reading peifen and zhiyong's. pretty impressed really. cos err.. their english not bad! (ok i know im kinda like discriminatory) and the zhiyong really got not bad english la. and his blog quite well maintained and it's got pix and all.. best of all he's got his own domain!

the stuff he writes abt is quite not bad too.. and somehow i keep thinking he looks like kevin from dreamz fm.. haha...

yesternight i went to a funeral at s'pore casket. drove there with my mom and aunt.
cos i was feeling kinda tired, and all the smoke was stinging my eyes, i decided to leave early. no choice, take bus home..
when i finally reached home and took out my keys to open the door, i got a big fat shock!

car keys were still in my bag.

sharks la. i called my mom and told her abt it.. i was like.. ok i come back now.. anw she told me to go take my shower first la.. which i did.. i usually take about 45 mins.. and so later on she called me back to say.. she;s taking bus back with my aunt now. they'll come collect key from me and go back to collect the car.

quite nice of them la. and it was quite funny cos my aunt say my mom dunno how to take bus.

anw that saved me a trip back to lavender. luckily it's not like v far away or wat..
or else sure beng4..

sianz

hmm i don't actually feel like blogging today. too sian. but it's precisely because i'm too sian and have nothing to do that i'm blogging now...
now is that a paradox or what?

i'm at woodlands again. alone. i don't really mind la actually. i have a room to myself, i've got internet, and the best part is i get to control my own time! i'm ze boss!!

and today's super slack. got some docs in the morning.. scanned through them. and picked my samples. but when i got outta my room, the entire finance dept had disappeared. apparently there was some last minute meeting.. which lasted all the way til lunch. and so i did nothing.. til lunch.. (ok i made my spreadsheet nice nice.. but that doesn't take up the whole morning la)

as i was walking to the kopitiam for lunch, it started to drizzle. i was like.. oh sheet.. newaez, managed to make it to shelter dry, and had my lunch. well it really did rain heavily soon after, but interestingly it stopped before i finished my lunch. and actually i was pretty surprised by how i could eat alone for 45mins (considering that i can usually finish in say 15mins).. but i do suppose the long wait for my food to come contributed to that..

after lunch it was another long wait.

wait for my docs to come. ok fine i got some docs.. i got like.. 2 samples worth of docs. hmm... will i finish my work by tmr??

the time now is drawing near 5.30pm. countdown approximately 10mins. dun think i can get anymore work done today. i should just leave and hope for the best tmr. hehe.

going for ma xian sheng's funeral tonight. i hope i don't see people crying...

ges outing

whoa i'm having a headache now.. not from a hangover i believe.. prob jus lack of sleep.. (wahsay... it's really headache every sat la)

we had ges outing yesterday.. and it was quite fun la.. before that, let me complain about how sheety bonus was.. it's less than one month la.. and it's... v little...

anw.. dinner yest was at the hanabi jap buffet restaurant.. very unexpectedly, the total turn out was 11 ppl, and once again we were overpowered by the sups! 你们已经被包围了。。。

really quite unexpected la.. cos at first it was supposed to be pure ges. then later it was ges cum team2.. then it turned out to be a ges cum sup outing.. haha.. quite funny...
the food there was pretty ok la.. but sad to say i think i din manage to try everything on the menu... but too full la.. i think one day must go there earlier to eat... then can slowly eat til shop close.. haha.. let me recap the attendees... there were... hj, ber, ct, hl, sy, da, ys, mx, rl, jp n me!
6 sups! super power... anw we also concluded that next time we should sit in between them in order to catch their gossips.. haha..

anw after the buffet (actually now i think i shouldn't eat buffets anymore.. dun think i'm eating my money's worth.. haha), we adjourned to mos.. mos was quite a nice place.. nice decor and all.. but i dun quite like the music.. it's like techno and beats.. not quite my type of jam.. and so we hung out there til abt 12 plus before we decided to move on to devil's bar.. cos according to jp, who's like a regular there, they play SONGS.

and so we went there.. for like free... thanks to jp.. and thats where it started to become happening.. haha..
there were like 2 sections in the bar.. one live band area and the other called the dance bar.. live band got more songs.. but the band doesnt sing v well la.. and so we went to the dance bar where we managed to get a table.. (and a chair!) and we had jp's martell with green tea.. the amazing thing abt green tea is how it manages to make an alcoholic drink taste non-alcoholic.. on the other hand, just coke with a few drops of liquor makes me feel my blood rushing..

oh forgot to mention, it was pure ges at the bars.. there were jp, hl and hj. nothing super fun at the front.. we were just watching some ppl making fools of themselves at the dance floors.. and laughing at them.. quite bad la.. but it was funny.. oh yah.. not to mention we met a certain director at mos.. quite happening manz..

anw we started playing 5-10 and that was when jp started drinking like damn alot.. and later on nta came to join us and they were trying to do each other in.. i think after than jp went abit 'kee siao' (ok not to that extend la.. maybe drunk would be a better word).. i shall not mention what she did.. anw we went to the dance floor with her after than.. hj and i were like watching her... as i was telling hj, i felt like we were undercover cops.. haha.. u know.. like pretending to be dancing there but actually we were looking out for jp..

but it was pretty amazing how she was 'drunk' (ok im sure shes gonna say she's not) but she could still be quite alert in playing 5-10.. my eyes were pretty xun1 by the smoke.. anw later hj called ber to come pick jp up and she did! i was quite surprised by how she was readily there.. anw it was a gd thing.. she came to send all of us home.. so nice! anw at the end jp was just insisting that nta lost to her but bu4 fu2.. and blah blah blah.. it was just damn funny la.. she's like.. u dunnno whether she's consciously alert or not..

anw i got off first la.. so i dunno what happened after that.. maybe hj's blog got say... :)

ps: i honestly told my mom we left at 4 am.. and she was like.. cheng he ti tong... next time dun do it..
hehe.. managed to get away with it unscathed!

Oxymoron

Ok.. I don't know if i titled this correctly or not.. maybe a better word for it is irony..
Well, if you've read my previous posts, this is my nth time that I'm trying to be punctuationally-sound in my blog writing. I think I've been too out of touch with proper writing that it has almost become impossible for me to type properly. You'll understand what I'm saying if you saw me typing this. This short little paragraph was typed and retyped because I was using far too many abbreviations, far too many ellipses.. (here goes another..)

And so, I was thinking maybe I should do some commentary on current affairs. Serious enough a topic for me to do some proper writing, or at least, get my brain thinking. But you know what? I haven't been reading the papers at all! Nor watching the news, nor listening to the news on radio. The last major event that I'm aware of is probably the bird flu revival.

Ok so let's just forget about current affairs.

I'll talk about my life instead.

I've been updating my blog pretty frequently, so there's actually nothing much to talk about.. If you've managed to read this far, you probably realise that I haven't mentioned about anything much. (But you probably also learnt how wu liao I can be)

Been using the f-word alot more nowadays. I think it's the company I'm mixing with. Ha.. Ok.. I shan't blame anyone. Whatever influences you is your choice. I do believe it's an individual's choice to be influenced, or not. Anyway, my point is, F my freaking laptop. The display is sooo eccentric. I have to keep doing CPR do revive my screen. And it gets to a point where it's 'Freaking'. If my laptop could talk, I think I'll be sent for comp abuse. It's so bashed up by me that I''m sure there's some sort of internal injuries. But I can't help getting pissed when it pisses me off.

Can't get it fixed soon though. Was meaning to do it this saturday, but I think chiong-ing on Friday will prob make me wake up in the afternoon on Sat. So that's out. Cos I still gotta do the activity list for the evening's meeting. Sigh. It just means that I'll have to do it next Sat. This procrastination will delay the resuscitation of my comp. I sure hope it hangs on til then.

Before I end, let me complain about how corpulent I've become. I have to say that I'm at my peak. I'm now so wide that I'm bulging out at the sides. And I'm hungry now. Sheet.
I'm like hungry all the time now. I think I've been eating soo much that my stomach doesn't know how to stop itself. Sheet. I wanna jian fei.

Ok my comp's dying.. I can't finish what I wanna say... sigh!

ber's bday celebration

we went to celebrate ber's 24th bday today.. at the nsshotel... quite interesting.. cos i've actually seen this building before, but never knew its name.. we had charcoal steamboat there. and apparently it's quite popular la.. quite a lot of ppl there.. but the food was jus okok...
but i think i quite like the idea of everyone sitting at the round table eating together.. quite nice.. though i was only talking to shannon n hj most of the time, it was still nice having dinner with the FAMILY. hehe.

oh and today i discovered big shocking news. ok la.. not exactly discovered.. and not exactly shocking either.. but definitely big la.. ok.. i must let off some off my zhen4 han4 here.. WAH!!

OK so thats all i can say abt that big news...

anw.. thanks shannon for the rides to n fro!

oh and dear hj.. the dvd damn power man! there are like 20 episodes in one tiny dvd! im sooo surprised.. but it doesn't have ep 15 and 17 that i missed.. but it's ok! i'll go download them or something.. and the other down side being that it's entirely in chinese.. but otherwise, still damn cooL! 20 eps! in one disc! (btw hj.. u feeling alrite ya?) haha actually i think u're the only person that reads my blog la.. so i dun need to worry abt writing rubbish here.. hehe..

anw my comp's like dying again.. the screen is siao flashing again.. i gotta end here! sob sob..

17/8
yay. finally went ktv yesterday, after a long long time.. think the last time i went was with the team at chinatown.. think it was liting's 'farewell'.. got to suntec at around 7pm.. went around shopping, hoping to find nice new black shoes.. but to no avail.. saw some nice clothes at gg5.. but i couldn't reason with myself to spend that kinda money on their clothes.. ya know.. they're nice.. but i dun think i'll spend like $60 on a top la.. oh and i gotta add that i kena suaned by my maid.. she says there are not enough hangers at home to hang our clothes bcos '[I] keep buying new clothes'. sigh.. i only bought a few tops and a few bottoms k.. how's that gonna eat up the supply of hangers at home?
anw.. back to the topic.. ktv-ers were ber, hj, sc, da and me.. maybe too few ppl so it wasn't THAT fun.. or maybe it's cos i dun really know sc and da v well.. it was quite interesting to see them though.. at ktv, sc and da were like direct opposites.. da will sing.. like occasionally.. but so soft u can hardly hear her.. sc on the hand is the i'll-sing-watever-u-dian.. in the end finally heard da's voice a song u'll never expect.. it was lin jia yi's umm... dunno wat 微笑 song.. can't remember the title.. but i luv the chorus.. goes something like.. 你走吧，我不哭无论多痛苦.. something like that.. it wasn't the lyrics that caught me.. it was the melody.. sounds v xiao sa.. haha..
anw we left at like 12.. got home around 1230.. and though i was so tired i had no choice but to finish the soup that my mom boiled for me.. and it was a darned big bowl la.. i think it's probably like 3 rice bowls worth of soup.. and it was so hot la.. took me like half an hour to finish it.. (that just totally robbed my of half an hour of sleep la)
this morning i was so tired i jus din feel like waking up la.. actually if i came at 10am no one will say anything la.. there's only me n fl here today.. but i feel v paiseh to leave her here alone la.. yeah.. so just had to peel my eyelids open and get on with the day..
here i am now, writing my blog and drinking yam milk tea.. so super full now.. pearls are awfully filling.. so is milk tea.. ah..
well the time now is 2.37pm.. this post is gonna say it's posted at nite or something.. why? cos i dun haf internet here.. damn poor thing.. it's quite sian one.. i can't even dial up cos the stupid phone line here got no dial tone.. they even put a phone here.. dunno what it's for.. and i think irc really killed my writing la.. i can't write a proper sentence now with the proper punctuation.. no more caps.. no more fullstops.. just plenty of ellipses.. (ok that was supposed to be plural of ellipsis.. i duno whether i spelt it correctly.. cos now it jus looks like the plural of ellipse.. )
i guess i'll just end here for now.. i think i can really ramble.. this looks like one page worth of words.. used to be darned difficult for me to just churn out two pages of essay..


18/8

it's another sleepy morning! and i'm feeling ultra fat today.. the fats on my tummy are pressing against each other and it feels UGH!i think part of it was due to my meeting yesterday.. it ended at 10pm.. and our WD was v nice.. she prepared green bean soup and 'beh teh soh' for us.. i was still full from my heavy dinner.. but no choice.. cannot reject.. so i ate.. n drank.. yeah so maybe that's why im feeling bloatedly fat today.. (i mean i usually do too.. but today's just worse)
yeah and so i got home at like 10.30pm.. took my shower etc and watched healing hands at 11.45.. think it ended at 12.30am.. and I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SLEEPING AFTER THAT. but i didn't! i had to get out of bed and go online.. why? to submit my darned cpf statement.
now, i gotta tell the whole story from the top to show u wat's so darned about thing thing..
on the 6th of july i happily went to u*b to apply for my credit card. fine. i din have all my documents with me so i just filled up the application form. some time later (say a few days), i called up their call center to ask them for the fax no to fax my docs over. and i also asked them if a promotion letter would suffice. they said YES. and so i faxed it over.. happily thinking they'd do something about it..
the NEXT WEEK, i received a call from the darned CARD center asking me whether i'd like to send in my docs! i'm like WAT?? ok.. did the necessary explanation and moved on..
a few days later.. the darned CALL center called me to say "hi, we've received ur promotion letter. WHAT IS IT FOR?" wah lau! what's their problem? and may i remind u that i DIDNT just fax it in one fine day. i called them up to ask them, and i faxed it in "attn to someone" and she said she'll inform the relevant dept. SO SHE DID.
FINE. so i thought we clarified matters and i continued to wait..
waited and waited til they sent me a letter saying that THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE RELEVANT DOCS. i'm like.. wah lau x 2. called them up and the person said i've my cpf statement pending.. WAH LAU. PLS LA! if u need my cpf stmt tell me from the start!!
fine. so i went to submit my cpf statement online..
and it was another round of waiting.
waited and waited. and i got another letter DATED 10 AUG saying that my cpf stmt IS STILL PENDING! wth.
i was so darned pissed i called them up again... and what happened? nobody picked up the freaking phone even after 15mins. heck. so i decided to call the next day. so this girl called ch******* took the call.
told her i already submitted my cpf so whats the prob. guess what she said? if they sent u a letter it means they haven't gotten it. pissed me off! so i said i've submitted it and i HAVE A RETURN RECEIPT. she: or can u fax or post it overme: i've already submittedmy stand is clear. i'm not gonna do any extra work for their own inefficiencies.
me: and i've waited for v long. so what's the probshe: the sys says u applied on 26/7. it's been only 3 weeks. cos normal processing takes 2 wks.
well at that pt of time i couldnt remember when it was that i applied. but 3 wks sounded long enough anw. (actual wait time was SIX WKS btw!)ok la! so u're trying to blame me now la! my fault for not being able to wait la! my fault that i sent out my stuff and u din receive it la!
anw i was so adamant that they go check it out themselves. why shld i do double work if their depts aren't communicating with each other? fine. so i gave her my no. and asked her to call me to update on the status..
that was tuesday. i waited til THURSDAY and no one called me. wat to do? i had to pick up the phone again. interestingly enough, i called and this ch******* picked up! so i was like.. i din get any reply from u. she said SHE TRIED TO CALL BUT THERE WAS NO ANSWER. crap la. i din get a single missed call from her la.fine. in the end gas wat she said? they haf to click on my cpf submission (or some similar crap) to receive it. apparently they din click on it in time and it expired.wth.
AND so i submitted it again yest. sigh.
WHAT'S THIS COMPANY'S PROBLEM??
now i give them 1 wk to approve my appln and send me the card. or im gonna call to scold them again! ugh.

aye sux

i think we left work at 6plus today.. but i only reached home at 7.45!! it's the darned AYE's fault.. cos there were only the 2 of us, and sup had to go back office, so i had to go back office too.. (and take train from there..)
darned. the journey home from office takes me 30mins.. and it was double darn.. cos my feet hurt! stupid shoes! im so gonna dump them..

i was jus reading this other sup's blog.. (or should i say, this other girl's blog).. ms hj pointed out my name in her blog this morning.. honestly i was pretty surprised to see my name there! cos like i haven't talked to her in like ages and just din think that she'll 'remember' me.. ha..

ya anw.. it was like 9pm and i decided to read blog (and do some blogging myself) instead of watching ben cao yao wang.. (this either means that the show ain't that nice or the blogs are too interesting, take ur pick)

ok.. this is getting abit incoherent.. but heck.. i just type watever that comes to my mind.. i bought this white hairband from the accessories shop at the mrt station.. supposed to be for work one.. but i dunno whether it looks nice leh.. kinda regret giving all my hairbands away.. i think i used to have at least ten.. but i just stopped wearing them.. and the initial stage of re-wearing a hairband just totally gave me headaches.. but im back! (no.. it's not because it's the trend now) but i've actually come to realise the usefulness of one.. just ONE hairband keeps ALL my hair in place! gotta use at least 2 clips to achieve the same effect.. but i think this trend thing is making hairbands kinda ex.. or is it inflation over the years? the white hairband i bought cost me $2.50.. quite cheap la, compared to those evita etc brands but i thought hairbands like that should only cost like $1.. haha.. ok i think i'm living in the past..

on another note, I'M BREAKING OUT AT THE CHIN!! sharks man.. dunno why.. i dunno whether it's because i've been snacking too much and thus toxifying myself, or whether it's the stupid loose powder that's breaking me out! but it shouldn't be the loose powder! cos it's from ettusais and it's supposed to work on acne-prone skin! not give me more acne! wth.. i'll try again tmr and if i break out some more, i'm gonna freakin boycott this brand..darned.. the stupid powder cost me like $40 la! and the stupid sunblock cost me $40 too!! that's like freaking $80 down the freaking drain...

(wah i think i 'freaked' here so much that i'm gonna turn into frankenstein soon...)

anw next week's gonna be fun! i mean next fri.. there's our woodlands team outing.. and i think i mite get to see sup fong with smoky eyes!!

tmr gotta wake up at an unearthly 6.30am.. my siao-on team is gonna have breakfast! well usually i'd be too concerned abt my sleep to go but... i think must show some face la.. hj: give u face leh! :)
but they're gonna meet at some dunno what coffee place.. i thot we eating bk breakfast! i want my eggs!! ah well.. we'll see how tmr.. i hope i manage to fig out where that place is man..

and i hope i dun look weird tmr.. i'm gonna wear my blazer! (with unmatching pants!) not really my fault k.. cos i wore my pants today.. and i dun wanna wear skirt tmr cos freaking gotta do interim la... hj: wat slides man? i dun haf! (which is gd la.. cos it means i dun haf to read them.. haha)

ok im gonna catch the remnants of the show now... i hope i manage to wake up on time tmr...

how da hell?!

im trying to vamp up my friendster page.. but i can't! tried to put in this so nice song on my page but i have a major problem trying to upload it in the first darned place.. tried putting the file in geocities and it keeps freaking say "uploaded" but i can't freaking open the file!

aargh.. and it doesnt help that i haf a freaking darned zit on my cheek.. one of those "i dont know why it's there" zits cos i'm not supposed to get zits on my cheeks! (why? cos i only get them on my forehead and chin! why this sudden outbreak on the cheek? why?)
helly if u're reading this, it reminds me of u! haha.. dun think u wanna be reminded of this but i think u had one on ur face some time ago too.. hehe..

out damned spot!

(and im supposed to be bathing now! i've got a show to catch in 30mins but im still unable to upload the darned song!)

ugh!

headache...

dang.. it's saturday and i've got a headache.. i think i've been accumulating too much toxins at work.. pulled out yesterday and i decided to bring my laptop home to avoid the jam back to OB.. but now thinking back, i think it probably wasn't the wisest choice.. now i gotta drag it to work on monday! on the mrt too! ugh..

didn't do much yesterday.. i was just watching tv like from 7pm to 1am.. (hmm maybe that's why i had a headache) and there was the fireworks booming away and i could only see those that managed to shoot above the buildings.. at that point of time i was like.. wah! i shouldn't be at home! cos this stupid display lasted like damn long la.. usually when i miss it it's just a short few minutes display.. but this time round i felt like i missed out on alot! and it was like.. so near yet so far.. on one hand i just felt so much like i wanted to be there seeing the thing 'live', but on the other hand i just can't get my butt off the seat!

ah well..

and it's a saturday but i'm gonna spend my time rotting at home again.. somehow i wanna go out, but i just can't make myself call ppl up to see whether they wanna go too.. sometimes i just can't believe how lazy i can get..

omg and i just found this freaking new mole growing near my ankle! help! it's like a little black thing sticking out of my skin.. i heard moles can be cancerous.. how how! i think im really eating too much trash! sigh sigh...
and my mom's super nagging again.. *headache*

sillysilly

this was a rather silly morning... i woke up and msged ms P, not knowing whether i should be picking her up or not... cos I've got a rather short-term memory and she's been going back office on and off.. so I wasn't too sure if she was going back again today.. (I had this recollection of her saying something abt going back.. but the prob is.. I didn't remember when she said it.. was it 2 days ago or was that last week?)

i didn't get a reply to my sms.. so i thought she prob hadn't woken up yet.. so i went on to do my stuff..

twas a tired morning.. i decided to take cab to work instead.. (was watching healing hands yesterday! i'm so totally hooked onto the show now... yesterday's episode ended with paul standing on top of a building, seemingly contemplating suicide.. that's quite stupid though.. cos paul's not supposed to do such silly things... i think the scriptwriters have run outta ideas.. anw it was also damn nice to see anson and chris getting married.. haha..)

ok and i was jus nua-ing the whole of yesterday la.. only time i went out was to go eat prata for lunch at casuarina curry.. i like the new aircon setting but it makes the prata and curry cool too quickly.. ah well.. the rest of the time i spent watching tv at home.. NDP on tv wasn't too good... the cameraman din take the human towers! so wasted.. that's like the toughest part la i think.. and they din show it on tv.. sighz..

and ya.. bcos i was nua the whole day, i couldn't sleep at night! and i made a horrid mistake by playing the healing hands soundtrack at bedtime.. i think it just made my mind spin further..

and so i woke up with this terrible sense of tiredness and here i am now..
oh back to the cab issue.. when i got outta the house i saw this girl crossing the road, to the road i'm walking to! i was like.. sheet.. must be here to qiang3 cab.. and she was.. i din know what to do.. flag dun flag?

quite fortunately however, a cab on the opposite side of the road saw me.. gave me a signal and said he was coming over.. (wah! i din even flag u know..) i was like.. ok! and then when he u-turned over, the girl jus came walking towards me (the cab, rather) and she looked pissed... i din know what to do! but the cab driver signalled towards me and i was like.. heck la.. and i got on the cab.. leaving the girl still looking pissed on the road..

got on the cab and the cab driver was like.. "that girl looks angry.."
i was like.. "ya.. haha.."

anw.. sent another msg to msP to tell her i got on the cab.. but there was no reply.. i jus assumed her phone was off or what la.. but alas.. when i finally got there, her gate was locked.. called her.. and found out she was in the office!

so much for my assumptions.. i'm always doing silly things like this.. like getting lost while driving to causeway point.. or like getting lost while driving back from causeway point.. (u get the idea..)

the tim tams on the table were so appetising.. and i just couldn't resist them.. am munching on my 2nd one as i type this... and this is funny too.. cos i had opened the package on tuesday.. and to prevent it from going bad.. i taped up the opening.. so much that i couldn't take it apart.. and so i had to open it from the other end now.. better finish it today so i wont end up with this taping problem..

oh and i forgot to mention.. the cab driver was talking on the phone the whole time (in malay).. and at the end of his conversation.. he told me about it! was some family problems... think i shouldn't be writing them here (though i don't think very many ppl read this blog..)

kinda surprised la.. haha..

and i'm suffering from a headache now.. sleep too little..

and i'm so on about doctors now...
