Paper Loft

The day kicked start with me rushing to Kovan to meet customers.

The $65 album is finally completed!

Another load off my mind.

Might upload photos here someday (:

A quick breakfast with family before rushing to Esther's church.

I asked to go because 2 weeks ago, i felt i needed to be near God again.

Enjoyed the service a lot.

Will attempt to be good instead of doing good (:

Thankyou Esther, for having me.

You dance really well! Hee.

Guess i chose the right time to attend your church service huh :b

Next, i rushed down to town.

Met Indran 30mins late.

Oops.

Got my SF parfum after sniffing tons of brands at TANGS (with the help of this gay guy who was staring at Indran's chest haha!).

Went crazy at MOOKS yet again.

He got 2 absolutely gorgeous tees, i picked em (:

Quick lunch at N.Y.D.C before rushing to get his flowers for the main lead of a play.

Rushed back home, met teacher for follow up on the business plan.

Had prata, chitchat..discussion..

My weekend flew past just like that..

I'm tired.

I pray that i'll have more patience and wisdom.

Pink for the girls, Gold for the guys

Happy Drink

Another album done by me.

I love this project because the album is made of linen, special (:

I love my job

Dinner and Dance 2008 was awesome.

Everyone was game-on in dressing up with the pirates theme.

Widespread of choices for the buffet.

Service was 5 stars no doubt.

Performances was entertaining. Hot too.

Photos will only be up on my blog if i manage to grab it from the camera men..i presume they'll upload into our shared company folder someday..

Meanwhile, just enjoy Gary's 22th (:

--

I didnt sleep well last night because the whole setting up a business store was running wild in my mind..so much work to do!

Naz -> YOU and ME, we need to catch up. haha. i think there's a reason why the company is not branching out to "mr bean" that sorta biz..hmm..but they do make shitloads huh! haha.

Sa'edah -> darling!! the hotel is keeping me so busy (and happy) i have no energy to "play" after work or during the weekends. BUT i promise we'll meet next month for movie and bugis noodles(:

Melly -> boohoo..i know, i miss you girlies too. i need some tight group hug. you've no idea what i am going through man..work..work..and more work..maybe friday night we go for supper near our place? grab dine along (:

Papa's 4th Death Anniversary

Went for evening mass at IHM with Godma, Godbro, Godsis (she's pregnant!!! praise the Lord!) and sisters.

A little crowded today. Head down to pray for Godfather. I think i still don't know how to cope with the demise of a loved one.

--

Dinner/dessert with CoH, a belated for our dearest Gary (:

Was late, flagged a cab, dropped my hp, thankfully i managed to get it back after running in the rain to where the cab was. Cabbie is friendly and honest. I'm lucky.

But i'll still rate my day as a bad one.

Woman stole my luck.

Everything might be starting to go downhill.

Catchup session was awesome.

Tirene "Love You" Soh.

Sounds like a middle name good name. haha.

Photos will be out tmr (:

--

Yesterday was HOMECLUB flea fly flo fun.

Lil' sister helped me. Luke too, thankyou!

Sales was pathetic as compared to my sales at Zouk/LIME flea.

Kinda expected. Thats why location is very important.

Some regulars/friends came to support me so it was all good.

I'm expecting LIME fleamarket (13th Sept) to bring me better profits.

Caught the fireworks display outside the club as well. Pretty!

Went for supper with parents thereafter (they're super supportive of my outdoor events, ferrying me to and fro).

Head to the factory for a while.

Dadee explained the beancurd process to me.

Abit hard to understand.

Something about crashing the beans, mixing with water, separating the shell, cooking it..blahblah

So i'll let the photos do some talking.

Our "Drama"

Liyu asked me to order the entire batch of forever21 for her.
After which, she asked for printscreen and confirmation of order.

Then she bugged me on 3 occasions over a time span of less than 24 hours for it through:

1) email
2) phone call
3) sms

Finally ending with "did you order something for yourself" when i questioned why she need the confirmation.

It was obvious she didnt trust me. And making use of me. If she wanted the entire order to herself, she shouldnt have troubled me to order for her. You wanted "as little trouble for me", yet not knowing you ended our friendship. Thinking my maid is her free labour. Thereafter coming up with "intentions"saying she needed to account to HER friend.

What could go wrong that you've to account to your friend? I placed the order and handled all financial matters. If there's anything, 999 is just a phone call away.

She thinks i'm petty/sensitive and creating a drama out of nothing. I'm trying to evaluate. Because we were good friends and i think you didnt trust me. It doesnt feel good at all. Your side of the story is not convincing. To me or to anyone else that know you. Yes there's nothing you can do about it if i don't believe what you've to say.

This drama speaks little of you and me, but i will still blog about it.
Takes 2 hands to clap.
If i've to kick a big fuss out of it, i certainly will.
She's being sour i didnt mail out her parcel "fast enough" when i'm buried in work and didntve time to go to the PO other than on saturdays.
She didnt understand. She refuted by saying she works "20hours a day".
So you should know why is it impossible to hit the PO on weekdays.
So she's taking revenge by "taking her time" to transfer me the shortage for postage.
Childish.

All the "dear"s, smiley faces, "why are you so mean to me"...yadayada..its not working man. You doubted me, and you still dont want to admit it. I didn't blame you. I blame myself for being too helpful. Its all my fucking fault. Right?

What one-sided story? This is the entire side to the whole drama.
I hate it when people're afraid to acknowledge their feelings or thoughts.
When ever since did i threatened you?
You feeling insecure or what?

I'm sure many of you know the drama by now.
Thankyou for saying she's not worth my keeping. Afterall i've done for you.
Everything.
You, your life, your family, me being there for you when you cry your breasts off.
You know nothing about my life when i sit down to hear/know everything you've to say about your life. You don't need me anymore right.
Its over, officially.

And i will hold back my tears (plus icy hands) "the friendship was over long ago when you embarked on the whole threaten/blame game. :-) :-)"

I dont want to talk about it anymore.

Keep the $3.56 for your condoms. Or not.

--

And if you (the readers of my blog) think i'm damn scary or mean, think again. Why would i bite you if you didnt slap me. I'm cunning, intelligent, whatever, but i will protect myself from getting hurt.

I've been selective when it comes to picking friends.
And after 9 years with her, i realised it takes only 1 hour for everything to become nothing.
To put it bluntly, its over money.
Else, its about the trust and honesty.
I'm torn. I am.

Bextor!

Heavy-duty shopping last weekend with Woman.

Weekend shopping with Indran.

Super overdued photos. Didn't have my n73 to upload them.
Now that its repaired, i'm feeling a lot more secure (:

--
Din Tai Feng with Woman for dinner.
Some shopping.
Picked out a limited edition super-gorgeous wallet for Gary.
Since its my taste, i think he'll love it to death.

--
Work was a bitch today.
I swear i nearly fell asleep at the compartment.
Lunch was damn good as usual.
Met lil' sister after lunch for some Ben&Jerry's lovin'.
Charlotte popped by HR to visit me.
She's on the 62th floor. And me?? Basement 1.

--
I guess i really dont like to work.
As in a real active job income kinda job.
I want flexibility and to be in absolute control.
I need to sleep.

Whats a Sous Chef?

I dealt with super confidential files today.
And it made me wonder if i should stay in this industry.
I totally love the environment, people and food.
But for career advancement wise, its def not the place to be.

Tmr is walk-in interview day.
Whats the use of having it when we reject 90% of the applicants?

--

Got a booth secured at LIME flea market on 13th September 2008.
Interested to share half a space with me, please call.
Only successful applicants will be notified (:
Embrace the Sun or rain which might come.

--

Looks like i cannot escape D&D next Monday.
Damnit, need to come dressed like a pirate. WTFFFF.

--

I realised im pretty impatient with my tutees.
So hard to get their attention.
Esp after a long day at work..

Angele -> Yes, squash when im free k (: Catch up too!

Jerr -> ahhhhh...time passes quicker these days at work. the sentence structure felt wrong..haha

Pocket Rocket

That was last month's online shopping bill.
Totalled up to about 6k.
I like the variety in countries.

I didnt incur all, of course!

--

Manager on leave today.
We're happy little children (:

Bought my black shoes from URS in less than 5mins after lunch.
Working at Cityhall is so convenient. I like it!

--

Working hard on my card orders.
Its piling.
My domestic helper is helping me to ink namecards for my LJ now.
Manual labour.
No time to get someone to help me with the stamp and cards.

--

Its midweek tmr.
And im happy i can collect my HP!
I shall attempt to rush to Nokia Care at wheelock during lunch.

Remember to sms me your name and number because i didnt back up my contacts.

Thankyou so much darlings (:

iphone 22nd august

Its coming out this Friday.
But i want the 3.5G version.

Because i dropped my n73 last week, im surviving on my pathetic old hp now.
The battery doesnt last over a day.
Imagine my horror when it shuts down at work and im shut down from the rest of the world.

--

Thought i'll've Monday Blues.
Apparently my day went quite well though a few of my colleagues got blasted by my manager.
So they were complaining to me about mgr and then mgr was complaining to me about how weak her team is.
Well, i was almost about to comment that if she promotes me to assistant manager, i'll make sure i give her a strong team.
I held back for some reason.

Work was stressful.
Deadlines deadlines.
Running about.
Learning how to make/send out appointment letters, dismissal letters, prepare for walk-interviews on Tuesday and Fridays and of course the Job Fair this weekend.
The fried rice with egg for lunch today was delicious (:
Dirty jokes flying across lunch table (again), i laughed till i blushed.

D&D next Friday with some pirates theme.
I'll skip it, i've better things to do on a Friday night.

This week is killer week because after 9 hours of hardcore work, i need to give tuition to my 2 stella boys :(
Saturday is tuition with my lil' girl and flea market event at Home Club.
Then i need to collected my hp (repairing the LCD will cost me $70).
Spending even before i get my 1st pay. Haha.

--

Speaking of which, Woman and I had a blast in town yesterday.
He got his agnes b bag and i got my M.Dutti blazor.
Super gorgeous i swear. So is the price of $265.
*faints*
But i need more formal wear..the permutations will not last till end of this month.
Definitely a worthy investment.

Congrats to Singapore, we finally got a Silver!
The match was an exciting one yesterday, but i felt that Singapore played pretty badly.

--

Its not that i really dunno whats going on.
Perhaps i do know, but i prefer to act ignorant.
So that i dont have to face it.
I just dont like to face it.
I'm a coward :(

Jerr -> i appreciate the meetup today. needed to get away from work. haha. no! i want malibooo!

Sa'edah -> movie movie!! then noodles at bugis!! when when!! hahaha. tons to update you. and results will be out on 1st week of Sept i heard. the horror the horror!!

Melly -> meetup!! quick! haha. got a gift for you and dine (:

Found an investor

An ex-teacher from my secondary school is interested to "invest" in me.

We're gonna discuss plans for the shop sometime soon.

I'm damn excited!!! (:

She'll fork out the capital for the shop, I'll fork out some brain cells and my time, commitment and zest in this business.

If everything turns out well, i'm gonna be my own boss!

--

Feng T W was pretty awesome in today's match (:
The last point was quite a pity for Korea.
Tsk.

My weekends are precious

Today i was settling the Code of Ethics thingy for like 9 hours.

Not even halfway through.
The thick stack of white papers, very blinding.
Makes me sleep.

Lunch was delicious.
RC tuckshop was screening Poseidon on HBO.
Dirty jokes flying across table.
I couldn't bite on the damn apple.
They thought i was 18 years old.

Mum commented on my dressing when i reached home (again).
Now, she finally believes i can dress properly.

Maybe i should throw away my tees and shorts.
And start dressing like a 22 year old.

--

Caught some of my colleagues discussing about F1 this and that. I think our department is in charge of something.

--

Toothache somewhat went away.
Calls for a celebration.

--

Hollister Co spree parcel arrived. Needa do some wrapping for the big PO trip tmr.

Liyu was bitching to me about not getting her parcel mailed out cause it has been 10 days. When i already mass emailed saying i can only get it mailed at a certain time. Her email was filled with thorns. WTH. I think she didn't believe me in the first place, thus, i'm not putting up with her attitude anymore. I am however, still a very responsible spree organiser. Just not willing to be accused and made used of.

This is not miscommunication. Alot of things speak for itself. We'll talk when you're ready to admit you didn't trust me.

--

This is MY blog. I will write responsibly, but i still write what i want.

Do Not Disturb

Was rushing deadline cause new payroll system starts tmr.

Kinda enjoyed the feeling because time passed damn quickly.

Haha.

Lunch was lovely today. Colleagues're friendly. Director keeps smiling at me, so its kinda nice when everyone treats each other this way.

Long line of walk-in interviewees today, had to settle their application as well. Was an eventful day.

TGIF tmr!! (:

--

As usual, the toothache killed me last night. I was in pain, crying out to God.

I'm gonna cherish this weekend because i've tons of things to do.

--

Dine hard at work (MwL lab).

She's artistic and a perfectionist.

I won't deny that cause im actually very proud of my babe!

Her artwork was better, more thoughts put into it i would say.

Suddenly i'm no longer that meticulous after attending 7 card-series.

But having 4 students for today's class was good (:

And i'm surprise Marcus the in-house chef remembered i like having the mash potato sausage dish with red chilli. Sweet!

National Day.

Spectacular view from my window (:

The theme song for this year is more romantic to me than patriotic.

Especially the Nat Ho segment.

I love the concept of the shoes and disability and accepting the girl for who she is.

Jerr -> welcome me! (:

Sa'edah -> i rather overwork than be left alone with nothing to do. haha. workaholic me!

Kimmy -> ya, havent even get 1st salary wanna cab to work?! haha, i might leave my wallet at home since there's no need to spend at all!

2nd day at work.

Waking up at 7am isnt much of a problem since the toothache is causing me sleepless nights.

7.45am squeeze with working crowd on bus/train. i hate it when their hair and butt touches me. I mean, buzz off!! I don't need to feel your ass crack against my arms. Wait for the next train right!

8.30am arrive.
8.45am HR department sharing/briefing.
9am-1pm work.

Work: sorting out 600 casual labour info for new payroll system, some typing, phone calls.

Meanwhile, pastries will arrive, jokes/instructions flying across the department. Boss looking for claims, colleagues looking for participants (upcoming HSA sports meet), workers walking in and out.

1pm lunch at RC tuckshop. amazed with the variety of free food/drinks. Am appreciative because i dont need to spend a cent.

To access the washrooms, you need the pass. Security is pretty tight.

I need my nametag, access card and blazor with me at all times. 5 star hotel, expected.

2-6.30pm work. By then, i would've yawned at least 50 times already.

Colleagues're friendly. I'm the 2nd youngest there. They call me and the other 20 year old girl "xiao-mei". My HR manager whom im working directly under, is really nice and friendly to me. Maybe because i have yet to make any boo-boos. Environment, so far so good. Hopefully will get to lunch with Charlotte sometime, she's a guest relation officer there (:

Overall, work is good. But i'm tired. Every minute. 12 hours delicated to work. Crazy or what.

TIRING!!!! :(

Mum: "wow, thats the way you should dress to work!"
Hestitates, takes a look at my bum.
Mum "but you don't have pi_gu ah!"
Dad: laughs

--

By the way, i dropped my handphone (again). I forsee that you might need to send me your contacts after i get it repaired this weekend. I don't back up contacts. Sigh. Using a spare hp for now. Iphone, can't wait.

Toothache

New collection's up.

Sales aint too bad (:

--

8 hours of hardcore shopping with Indran yesterday.

Its tiring i swear.

Dinner treat from him at Dome. I love the gourmet pie!

--

2 interviews today for management position.

I got hired (RC hotel), will be working for the HR manager, helping her with the new system. Thankfully meals're provided, i can save a hell lot of money. 8.30am-6.30pm is seriously LONG though. But good news, Cityhall is pretty accessible for me and my bosses are nice people.

I'm gonna be super busy. Online biz will have to take the backseat for now. I want to learn as much as possible. Find out if HR and hotel industry is for me.

Wish me luck, tmr's 1st day (:

The whole corporate wear and heels aint working much for me. Yea, i feel god-damn sexy in them but..

Ouch.

Happy 43th, Singapore!

Thanksgiving concert at SRJC.

Dinner at Grapevine.

Supper at Joe's Corner.

Olympics at Beijing.

Shanice in Singapore.

Toothache, nauseous after long car ride, lack of sleep.

Shine for Singapore.

i look fat here. ew. red patch is seafood allegy.

The impetus to create Literature.

A pity i didn't have any interest to help paint the wall back then.

Save the Beach. Thats where the girls are.

Faith, your belated present is ready!! (:
Don't kill me. No door sigh for you. Cause i really have no idea or inspiration on how to get it started. Hope you'll like this. Because i do! That photo is just a sneak peak for you. Heh.

The journey to get my violin tuned and re-string was albeit disappointing.
They said its old :(
And its seriously more value for money to get a brand new one.
Emily jie said it too.
But, i've feelings for it already!

When i first started out in Primary 4 with Hui Shan (i wonder how's hers doing), i remembered struggling with it. Rushing for classes after school with her. Wow, 12 years gone in a flash! FLASH!!

I don't care. I'm pulling the damn bow no matter how out-of-tune Sonata in C minor sounds.

Sa'edah -> damn gross. haha. are you still busy? i wanna watch movie!! let's go for a cf or comedy. no more shanice-grabs-saedah-in-the-cinema. HAHA.

Jerr -> you're full of shites la. my sister sounds exactly like me over the phone tooo. and the lizard, it MIGHT be doctored (:

I need a new violin

I'm frikkin irritated.

Was trying to play a tune on my 12 year old violin and nothing came out right.

Its totally out of tune man.

Gonna get it tuned tmr.

You should check out my sister's and Karen's face when i pulled the bow. Haha.

G sounds like E and A sounds like C.

The horror the horror!!

Freako Alert!!

Supper at Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice.

Woman said its good. So i guess its considered really good cause he rated it 4 out of 5 spoons.

You need to know how to walk there from Farrer Park MRT.

I like the vegetables and rice with curry. Its good!

Mustafa trip was..funny (:

I saw a dead bloody rat!!

I know.

But enjoy the lizard photos.

It caused me much anxiety while trying to zoom in on it.

I found it DEAD while tutoring my neighbour this afternoon.

Its gross.

And what a weird position to die! It aint even on a mountain.

Its paw were stuck on the table. I wonder how!
Dadee disposed it for me. Haha.

--

I spend the past 2 days completing card orders. Eunice's album (90% completed, will upload photos of it soon) and watching Fann Wong's latest drama on mobtv. Its a good show!

--

Melly -> my door's opened for you (: but seriously, is it too much huh. i need to find other things to collect. Can't collect chanels like dine though. so have to put up with brandless baskets. heh.
