Everyone's Out....
No one's In...
Let's go Home!!!
Woohoo!!

"I wish.... I wish... I wish...."
*cross hands together and wish really hard*

Nope... Nothing happened...
"Oh well i tried"

It's barely lunch.... I have nothing to do as usual...
Was suppose to go for motoeshow yesterday, but got caught in the rain after looking for cow.
(ok la... that's just a convienvet excuse for my laziness. but still...)
Went to look for my grandparents instead.
And a good thing i did!
My grand dad was running a fever! And could barely walk straight... The meddie was made him really dizzy and all.
So end i ended up driving him and my grand ma home.
Had dinner there and chilled out with them a bit before heading home
I think they were happy.
Well at least one good thing came outta my slacking...

Daddy and Mommy touched down this morning...
Shall be a good girl and have dinner with them tonight...
before heading out, for what i hope will be better night then last week...
Amist all this boardem, i'm actually quite looking forward to some good entertainment.
At least i can be sure the band will make me laugh!
Thanks A for the date! Really hope that J can make it too
After last week, we really need something good to peak us up! And to really celebrate for J too!

Today time is creeping…
Did so much and barely an hr pass…
Just now simon say that next week must start ‘begging’ for appointments!
Aka ‘fiona start working!”
Oh mans….
I really need to start making a few appointments before I dare to ask for leave…

The construction is finally done! Now the office is cold cold… super cold… I have 2 air cons blowing at me!! Lets give it a few days and see how it goes…

At least spent some time downstairs today… disturb the designers and operations ppl… looked at all the different samples in the library…I love all the pretty wallpapers… now I wanna wallpaper my room….

Wasn’t feeling good… so didn’t have lunch… but had to go to shaw plaza to get some stuff… anyway walked pass kfc and decide maybe I should just have whipped potato for lunch…
(ok this is gonna be one of my “I hate prc” kindda story)
so there I was standing in front of the counter waiting to order… then this bloody rude fat ass of a guy just shoved me aside and started barking his order! The lady behind the counter was trying to take my order and so she ignored him. But he continued barking and repeating what he wanted…. By this time I was glaring at him already la… (remember today I’m not in my best of moods…) I was this close to screaming at him…. The lady saw my pissed off face and kindly ask him to wait his turn. It was then he noticed me glaring at him…. He bloody looked at me as if I was in the wrong… like hello! I was standing there first… maybe in your country you don’t have to queue… or maybe no one thought u to queue before… but you come invade my country, you bloody at least learn to respect what we do here…. Irritated man!! I just rolled my eyes at him and walked off... Nvm… to make it all worse… I went into Guardian to buy things… and it was a prc at the counter…. I walked out and this bloody prc girl was too busy talking she bumped into me and never apologies! I was staring at her in disgusts la… Boiling!!! I came straight back to the office… I don’t think I can take another encounter… I’ll prob not be able to hold it in and just slash out la….

Good thing there is nice ppl at work to will still entertain me a bit and make me laugh… and let me play with the cool gadgets from the clients… (more on that later… with pics to share)

I must state for the record that I don’t hate all prc.... like at my work place there is one that I’m perfectly ok with…. But come to think abt it… I think he’s the only one that I am ok with … can’t blame… I don’t know many...

Digress…

Guess what I just found out…. The timing on the phone is a good 8mins slower then the actual timing… I double confirm with my watch, my PC and the radio… all the same time. And all proves that the phone clock is slower… is it their way of keep us back to do more work?? Not like I’m doing any… but that’s besides the point…

I have officially wasted 25mins writing all this…. I'm getting good at looking busy doing my own things... Everyone walked pass and saw me 'busy' typing away... haha... I should be getting an award for this! Oh wait! I am.... I'm getting paid!! haha....
Ok ok... No more... Monday it's serious work already... Maybe i should put simon's picture in front of me then i'll be constantly stressed out to work... hmm....

It’s Friday! Teaching, teaching and more teaching… but somehow I feel ok about it….
Hopefully the kids will cheer me up in their own crazy way….

Ta

Bored at Work

And the F1 weekend begins…

Rain poured down this morning…. According to the radio… it started at 6 and hasn’t stop till now…

The traffic was crazy!!! I was later then usual today coz a normal 10min journey took almost 30mins instead….

I blame it on the F1… all that road diversion….

I have a semi pig trotter of a foot now! Why you wonder…. This silly girl here missed a step (again) last night… grazed the knees and twisted the ankle… I know it’s not a sprain coz I can still move it….but it’s pain!

Not helping that I need to make a trip down to Suntec later…. (damn…. The heart of all the commotion!) So not looking forward to that walk from the mrt….

To add on to this mess of a disaster… my head have decided to start spinning…..

I need to put my head down a while….

Later.

p.s/ wah lao.... of all days they choose today to do construction work just next to my table... Shit! my head is hurting more!!!

*Sleepy Sleepy*
yes yes i know it's all my fault but a girl can complain on her own blog right!?
In the office now with no one else expect my 2 big boss in the room....
I read somewhere before that the 'symptoms of lack of sleep is similar to that of alcohol in your system. I think i'm so understanding that right now... Slow movement... the 3 sec memory... and general light headedness...

Went out for 2 appointments today.... It was bloody hot!! But at least i was out for most of the afternoon.

Some how today feels like a fri....

I'm not suppose to be here...

thinking... dreaming... hoping...
Blah.. it's all wishful thinking now....
Ok... 'stop dwelling' Need to focus if i wanna go at the end of the year!
Gosh.... i'm not asking for a whole building... just 80k!

After reading Daph's tag... it's like a snap back to reality. Not so much the kids and the bills... but just the reality of it all.
Fairytales should just remain as fairytales and not cloud the minds of reality.
There's no free lunch.... and nothing is gain without hard work (or at least some kindda work)
Daph has this uncanny ability to do snap ppl back! I guess everyone needs someone like that to keep us grounded.

I've decided to stop looking and just let it be. Unless it drops on my lap, i'm not actively doing anything. That's my sentiments right now.... it could be all real... or it could be the 'alcohol' speaking... tmr we will know.

still needing the sales!!

It’s such fragile thing
It can be some wonderful and tragic all at the same time.
Some wither and die with a blink of an eye
Some still stand strong after years and years of trials and tribulations.
From the innocent puppy ones I often hear abt….
To the ones that can claim 12 years and more to come!
This is one that is seriously inspired by nard…
It’s ppl like these which let me feel that there is still hope in this dying world.
And all I can say is ‘wow!’
It’s not the rude kindda amazement at how they can make it last so long…
but it’s more like an inspiring awe that they have proven that it is possible!
It’s not helping that nard has already warn us of a ‘red bomb’ coming next yr!
Even with stories as such, the skeptic in me still refuse to fall.
Experiences have proved me otherwise… and many ppl have showed me reality is crueler.
But at times when you see
“Happy 12th years anniversary my fiancée!”
written on someone’s MSN…
You can’t help but believe, for that sec, that fairytales do come true.
(at least for the lucky few in this world)

Finally I’m officially induced into the working world…

By this I mean…

Set-up…

Updating…

It’s finally up and running!!

Not use to the big screen and keyboard…

it’s like I have to life my head up to see top part of the screen. My fingers are getting use to the keyboard… after years of typing on a lappie… it needs some readjusting.

It took me an entire day to upgrade all the programs. It was like the super old version of everything la! Downloaded everything I needed… of cause the most important being MSN! Haha…

I’m still not liking it… and it is still as boring as ever! But I guess it’s time to get that bit more serious about work. Contacts! Contacts! Contacts!

***

The similarity is uncanny… it’s actually quite scary!

I hate like that! Why? It’s starting to feel a little disgusting!

This morning i woke up to bad news, bad news and more bad news!!!

The world is coming to an end!!

"Lets all kiss and make up and wait to die...."
(I foresee a very gloomy and pessimistic me for the week to come...)

Sad

Disappointed

Angry

Disgusted

Numb

Today started tired.....
Dragged my feet to work as usual....

Things looked up when the lappie finally changed in a PC (more on that later)

Then it was fun coz i finally ordered birks!!!

Then it became frustrating..... (again to be elaborated later)

Then i was entertained...

Then there was the unexpected date which was surprisingly interesting, entertaining, boring and sweet all at the same time...

Then i just found out.....

Now... I just feel cheated and hurt....

What does the word friendship means to you??

For an Aries on the 17th of September

The actions of other people will be very unpredictable, today, so you need to be prepared for anything. And although this day may test your flexibility and your patience, it will still be quite enjoyable. You like it when things are interesting, and unpredictability is part of the price you pay for 'interesting.' One of your friends might have an interesting social opportunity for you, but you need to have them explain things in more detail before you say 'yes.'

I like how it sounds very ‘promising’ as does most usually sound. But since my life have been dull and not very fun… I think a dash of unpredictability should spice things up. I like pleasant surprises!

I wonder which of my friend is the one with the ‘interesting social opportunity’? it would be nice to be getting out a bit…

Cab-ed home immediately yesterday after work…. I really felt like dying… I promise/swear I am not eating lunch today!! My tummy is still upset now… I shall go walk walk at the supermarket later.

***

I find the “smoking room” of this office very interesting.
If you don’t know yet… my office building consists of 3 levels. I’m right on top (imagine all the ‘exercise’ I get from climbing those stairs everyday!)
So level 1, 2 and 3 ppl need to find a place where they can congregates and all smoke and waste a bit of time together. Hence the stair well has become the prime choice!
It looks ok when there is a lot of ppl gathering and smoking. But yesterday, I saw my very stressed out boss rushing to that stair well, squatting by the side and puffing away!
From my view (through the tinted glass door) it looks like some addict in a half way house lor… it’s very bad considering that was my MD la… but seriously it looked like that… I wanted to snap a pic, but I don’t think it’s very appropriate right!?

Ok… I need to start working…

Next topic: One of my MD. He looks very very much like………………

Later

Midweek!! I made it this far...

Today busy busy collecting company info
But the eyes are aching even more staring at the screen....
Contacts giving me problems today.... At first i thought it was my eyes... wanted to rush home during lunch to change outta it.... But when i step out for lunch, it was sudden ok!
So i concluded... it's the air con in this place.... totally drying me out!! Gosh! think of the damage it's doing to my skin!!*scream moisturizer*

Tummy giving me problems again today....
*argh*
Must be that new lunch place they brought me today...
I swear i'm never going back there! It's worse then the market...
I saw a cat caught a rat like abt 3 tables away from us. *super grossed out la*
I totally lost all appetite after that.... I couldn't put another bite into my mouth la...
I wanted to cry and like leave straight away la!

I'm starting to wonder why i even waste money on lunch... Almost every time once i read the office after lunch, i just puke everything out! (No no... I'm not force pucking) It's just that i feel super uncomfortable and the tummy will hurt... It's either i puke or i shit! Both equally uncomfortable... *argh*
Pain...
Just think... if i save the lunch money instead... the stuff i can get! Damn... I'm not eating anymore!

Ok... Back to work...

Next update:
"The smoking corner"

Tuesday brings with it hope!

Or at least that's what my star sign says....
Yes... i'm bored to THAT extent.... i'm reading my horoscope...

I'm running outta things to read.
I'm getting desperate for my MSN.
I need to find work for myself... I'm starting to run outta ideas on how to smoke my daily report..

I think i ask this before; but i don't have an answer and i'm still puzzled.

Question for the Day:
How is it that one can get so hungry just sitting here and not doing anything??

Someone pls enlighten me!

Damn i don't wanna be one of those OL with the huge ass... Damn saddening la... Hopefully i can make it home before 7 today... Planning for a run!
I don't understand how the office can be so near from home but it takes forever to get home... Hate peak hour traffic!! Blah!!
And hopefully a meet up with some old friends.
I don't like working life where your time is so restricted to "after office hours"
Times like these make me wanna be a student all over again!


Oh oh!!
Briks orders will be made this thursday (18 Sept)
Currently i have 3 pairs
So quick quick! Any more orders??

It’s Monday again…
*sucks*
How am I suppose to make it through week by week like this…

Again I am sitting here… staring at the screen with nothing to do…
Everyone seems so busy… why I got nothing to do??
It’s gonna be another cold calls week again!!??
Damn sian can… I’m running outta ppl to call already…
Cow is suppose to be busy at work… and cannot entertain me…
I have to wait for Fie to wake up before he’ll reply any of my emails…
Jon is so far away with crap timing that’s so diff… it’s hard to disturb him even if I wanted to…
The girls are busy with work… we hardly even talk now…
Meh is just hopeless… I’m so giving up already la…
I seriously need to find new entertainment in my life! Blah…

Ok… I think I need to start “working”. Will update (real) soon

TGIF!!!
Finally... for once i'm actually looking forward to a weekend of teaching!!
Haven't seen some of the kids for almost 2 weeks!! Kindda miss them actually... Weird

And yes... i'm shirking during work again and writing this on office time... haha... There is no one in and no one to talk to and i'm kindda brain dead from thinking what else i can do... and.. you get the gist.

Time is crawling as usual...
i'm so bored i've to hide my phone before i start msging random ppl with random nonsense...
I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse to be this bored in the office...
Good thing for friends and email! if not i think i would have drowned from boredom! (i need my msn NOW!)

Again there is no real purpose for this post, so i'm gonna write very random stuff...

Today there was suppose to be a meeting... But coz most of the marcom team have prior appointments... Meeting was canceled and postpone to Monday... I was so hoping for meeting to kill time today... But oh well... now it'll just have to wait.

I seriously cannot eat food at the market... it doesn't matter which store.... my tummy just cannot handle it... Should i start packing lunch? *ponder*
How nice if someone can bring me somewhere else for lunch... Hmmm....

There is something wrong with the air con here... it's not cold and so stuffy... it's like after a while you need to step out for fresh air.... Not to mention it's super drying... My skin cannot take such torture... Some how it's worse then soaking in chlorine water!

I miss mambo...

And this is most prob coz i'm really bored to the core... but i'm missing meh-meh too.... Doesn't help that i just heard something roar pass my window... I blame it on the boardom but wtf wrong with me.... Damn!

Cow's not replying my emails today... either she's real busy (which she better be.. if not....) or she don't love me anymore... hump!

I don't understand how sitting here the whole day and not moving much can make one so hungry... it's crazy... i had lunch and i'm hungry now already! Damn... i don't wanna be like those OL that have heavy bottoms due to eating then sitting the whole day... Like that lady from that show i saw last night... *sad*

Today is a rainy day... So nice to just cuddle in bed and sleep...

It's so hard to pretend to be working when your boss/es walk pass your table... Have to pretend to open floor plan and stare very intensely at it... *ouch* my eyes hurt...
I use to not understand how ppl can use an entire bottle of eye drops, now i so get it! I'm using that bottle that they gave in the Shape Run goodie bag... 2 weeks only... and i'm half way through liao...

Today they were taking sizes for company t-shirt... the S looks like it's fitted for a very small kid la!! and the colour is ugly... err... like dark gray and maroon or something like that...

Omg... i just over heard my manager making plans for tonight... he's going KTV... maybe st james... haha!

It's ridiculous how time is passing....

Ok... getting dangerous... back to (pretend) work.
One more hour to the weekend!

Sitting here… with music playing in the background.
Suddenly this familiar tune comes on and there was this initial comforting feeling…
As it continues the realisation of why it was so familiar hits…
Then that comfort was over taken by a state of shock and disgust!

The effects that music has over people…

It lifts you up to the highest and drops you down the hardest!

Damn

Today i totally understand why Miki doesn't eat anything from the market.

And if i have a choice... i don't think i will too....

Is it the market or just my tummy??

Hmm....

Saddness....

My fav pair of shoes is giving way =(

I hope it can be mended.

I still can't let it go...

Need a new pair asap!

*shopping shopping*

Okie... this reminds me....

Birks orders pls!!

I will close it once i reach the amount needed for free shipping (which is $250 i think)

Field Trip!!

I didn't understand half the things i was looking at....
I definitely didn't know anyone there....
All i could do was smile and give out my make shift name card....
But at least i could get outta the office!!
WooHoo!!

Spent some time walking around... Learning how to approach and talk to ppl...
Then spent the rest of the time hanging out talking and bumming with my colleague.. haha!

Damnit! This is bad! I need to close a deal soon....

I think I’m getting real good at wasting time…

I don’t feel as bored… not cause I’ve more work… just that maybe I’m getting use to it… hmm…
Calls and more calls today.
Still learning nothing new
And the damn ants are still crawling around and now biting me!! *ouch*

Most interesting thing today is that i made my make shift name cards!

The real ones wouldn’t be in till like next week (I think)
And I need some by tomorrow cause….
Finally I’ll be going out!! (I hope it’s still on…)
Going with one of my colleague for this exhibition. He’s suppose to teach me how to mingle and talk to ppl and stuff like these. I’m just excited abt getting out!

Yesterday marks to completion to yet another lifesaving calendar year.
The Open Waters competition was held at Sentosa.
This yr it was split up into 2days.
Sat was heats and Sunday was the finals.
Very much better organization this year. Everything was much smoother and the event flow was consistent. Of cause if you wanna pin point every problem there is lots to say. But overall I must say that it was a job well done!

Will post whatever pics I have asap.
Counting on the other cammies for more pics cause I forgot to charge mine.
Despite the ups and downs of this year. I felt we manage to pull through ok. There’s always room for improvement and we will have to look into that if we want to continue growing as a team.
Okie… Will do a full update on feeling and thoughts and reflection when I actually see the pictures.

Right now I just can’t wait to get off work!!

Update on work...

And the many steps i have to climb everyday...

Today marks the end of the week.
This week i learn the true meaning of...
'when the cat is gone the mouse comes out to play'

Besides the boring-ness of work i got nothing much to say...

Been doing all kindda nonsense expect what i really am suppose to do...

Got to know the ppl a little better
The only comforting fact is that they are really warm and friendly

Today was the most boring...
Hardly anyone is in... everyone else was in a slack mood...
The weather didn't help either.

Half way through the day i went touring around the whole office.

Went down to the design department to look-see and disturb them a bit
Snap random shots of their 'hardworking' faces... But most they just gave me a blank look... Hmm...

Mole just came back from Thailand with goodies!

Colourful & interesting goodies...
And the girls couldn't help but start peeling it all open!

I think the most interesting find of the week has to be....
THE LIBRARY!!!

All the colourful panels and samples...
The different textures and fabrics...
So cool la!! I think i'll be spending a lot of time there...
Hey i have to learn and research right!? (haha)
At least now i got something else to do instead of staring blankly into the screen and stoning the day away...
But i seriously need to bring in some kindda sale....
People pls help!!

Celebrated Fie's Birthday
He wanted a quite night, so we planned a nice place to bring him.
Went to unexpectedly awesome place with a great ambiance, yummy food and WOW desserts!

Death-by-Chocolate!
*WOW*

I like how every time we go out, something will happen or said that only the 3 of us will get it.
Like this time... Fie (again) said:
"Hey it's like that hari raya cake!"
It just made me laugh so hard la.

But I think the best thing abt the night was the we went to a place that bought back nice memories for the birthday boy. So that made it extra special.

"Happy Not!?"
haha

updating again cause i'm seriously bored!

Got another 2 more shows to look into... Trying to think who i can call...
Not helping that there is hardly anyone in the office...
There's suppose to be 8 ppl (including 2 big bosses) on my floor...
Right now there is only 3...
Thus leading to 0 motivation to do anything...
My eyes is closing...
Good thing the radio is on... if not i'll have doze off long time ago...

Very random thoughts...

omg... the pass hour took the longest time to pass....

Contacts become your worse enemy when you have to stare at a computer screen the whole day! Eye drops don't seem to work...

Class95 is playing all the oldies... Is it cause of the partying this weekend? Damn it makes me wanna go mambo! Now with work... i doubt i'll be mamboing for a while... *sadness* (Damn! Another reason to hate work)

Ppl here don't dress up... how boring... i thought if you need to go meet clients, you have to wear nice nice... Or is it just me? i think even if i wear jeans and t-shirt and birks to work no body will care la...

Today i had a bottle of juice for lunch... I'm getting lazy to even eat la... I mean i can't wait to get outta the office... But i'll just end up walking aimlessly for 1hour.... Today i didn't join them for lunch cause no appetite... End up walking to Balestier plaza and then all the way back. I have no idea why... But ya...

I feel like getting a new pair of birks.... I hope they have the one i want in stock now. Anyone else interested??

I am cold... It's been raining almost everyday... How miserable...

I wonder what is Mommy cooking for dinner?? Hmmm....

My fin bag is here! Like finally...

Oh i finally got my own rubbish bin at work! (big deal k!) But still using laptop... When will i get my PC!!??

Ok... seriously this random-ness is getting no where... Time is still crawling at turtle speed... one and a half more hours...

p.s/ pls email me even if it's just to talk crap (no msn at the moment - read last random point)

Life has been utterly boring...
Everyday i'm just reminded why i hate the office so much!!
Seriously... what did i get myself into!!??

Anyway....
Since i'm stuck here... I should try to actually start generating sales...
So....
Pls call Fiona for all you DESIGNING needs!!
(don't worry... i wouldn't be the one drawing)
Exhibitions booth.... Corporate spaces... Retail spaces...
If your company is planning to renovate office or shop floor....... Call me!!
If your company is participating in an exhibition/roadshow/ anything.... Call me!!
If you know anyone who needs an interior designer for homes.... Call me!!
If you're not sure if i can help.... Nvm still can just CALL ME to ask!!

Ok... I am very desperate for sales! haha...
But actually if you just need someone to talk to... Just call also can la..
Right now i'm waiting for my own PC so that i can finally have MSN...

Moving on.....

Met cow and fie...
To celebrate fie's birthday!
The place was awesome!
Very ulu but still great! Hmm... it's places like that that you need to find a boyfriend that drives... hahaha
Well we're definitely visiting there again... Maybe when the weather improves.
(pics when i'm at home...)

Once again...

Happy Birthday Fie!!

"Happy not"

I see it looming is the distant

As my brand new start creeps up behind me....

I see what's in front of me....

What have i gotten myself into again!!??
(mess is made on purpose for a more 'dramatic' effect)

Curious of what lays ahead...

But not enthusiastic about what i see right now

Will it just be a matter of getting us to??

p.s/ if you haven’t already guess, Fiona started working!
