Hooray!

My hm is getting airconditioning! Yeah!!!

Goodbye to the stupid warm weather which drives me crazy on sunday afternoons, goodbye to those humid-hard-to-sleep nights+ endless tossing + sticky sensation n finally goodbye to the heat causing headaches.

I juz realise how tired my body is. Though my mind is awake, I can't move my body... haaa!

I hav come to realise how essential accounts is in work. Though having studied 3 modules of accounts in poly, I still can't come to terms to like accounts!!! Yucks!!! This proves that Xuan is still normal =p ( Anti-Accounts League Accredited~ AALA)

Thanks to Fang for the birthday party invitation on Saturday, the food was delicious, Fang is warm n she wore a skirt( n a pink skirt somemore)!!! *Should hav made the skirt-bearer pose at the the swings.* =P Btw, save the bareback shirt for xmas, Fang!

Got a nasty shock on saturday night at Taka... Wen n I sat/walk aimlessly for 1 n 1/2 hr, frantically trying to contact Hong. In the end, we got a call fr him at 11 that he was hm. Feel like thumping him but was relieved that at least we know his whereabouts.

Alas, its the end of Monday, 4 more days to work "book out." Urgh.

November Rain

Yes! Its going towards end of November n I love the raining season cos its so cool n nice to snuggle in bed n falling into slumberland.

However, there is a disadvantage, I always misinterpret the time I should wake up cos the sky looks 6am when it is 7am! Arh!!!!

As the weather turns cooler, I hav been indugling on some fattening food. On weds, I hav Beef noodles, thursday black pepper steak(yummy!!) n today lunch, Single mushroom cheese fr BK.

Oh no!!! I'm feeling fat from all these ingested beef calories!!!

Anyway, November spells lots of activities n the lack of rest. I'm running a mild cold n feeling tired ... nevertheless, eating lots of fuji apples helps!!

The happiest thing ~ Today is Friday!!! Yeah!!!

Shopping Therapy

Its a night out wif mum for some window shopping. Its good cos the shopping mood is there for the both of us.The location itself is perfect too. Ikea at queenstown. Juz conveniet from our workplace.

We casually walk around looking at the new furniture, quill covers, household items n christmas decoration stuff. All went well until we reached the garden n flowers area.

One thing I can't understand abt mummies is that they go woo n ah over some new species of flowers. Personally, I feel all flowers dun differ fr one another n I hate soil cos they r an excellent source of deadly bacteria(tentanus n all). Mum goes glassy-eyed over all flowers, plants n flowerpots n she makes it a point purchase at least one flower/plant related item in Ikea. (I hav lost count of the number of vases in our storerm!)

Anyway, we had our dinner at Anchorpoint in a food court call Oscar's Food Mall. No... I'm not promoting it cos of Oskar but the food is superb! We tried a bowl of Vietamese Beef rice noodle. IIts the nicest beef noodle I hav even eaten. Served in with spice leaves n all, the soup base is rich in favour yet light n appetising. The rice noodle(like the keow tiew) is soft n smooth tat I need not much of chewing to slurp it down. The beef is chewy yet tender n it has no beefy taste at all! Even an anti-beef person like my mum says the beef noodles is delicious n kept stealing my beef chunks! At $4 a bowl, the portion is more than enough for 2 ppl sharing! It comes wif the chicken noodles for non-beef eaters.

An interesting ceiling clock at Oscar's Food mall

After finishing dinner, I can't help but notice this cute "ceiling clock." Its even has XI n V numerals on the sides but its better for me to be discreet in phototaking.

I can't wait to go Oscar's Food Mall again!!!

Ahoy D& D!

I made up my mind to go for the Dinner & Dance. Yeah!!!

Its going to be so exciting. What should I wear? A grown? Or Dress in full Business attire a.k.a Wu Ya dressing? Or simply a casual formal as myself, a proper office worker, yet youngish look?

I juz love/hate to be a girl. * Griggles*

Dinner & Dance

My brain is shutting down... So wif the remaining ounces of Kilojoules I shall write something...

As I seat in my blue swisel chair, these r somethings I realise abt MNCs.

1) Computers - Local MNCs like Acer, Jap MNCs like NEC or Fujitsu for laptop, HP for desktops n English MNCs like Dell.... Hmmm....

2) Pantry - Local MNCs hav a coffee mixer, Jap MNCs hav Expresso mixer thrown in., English MNCs hav lots of butter cookies!!!

3) Management Style - Local boss - Go solve ur problems! Jap boss - Convince me, English boss - Lets seat n discuss the possible outcomes.

Anyway, I received an email to go to my company's regional division Dinner & Dance next January.

I picture myself dressed in some frilly-lacy fat 1890s dress n bouncing off the dance floor wif some hobbit bug-tooth guy in a top hat (Grasp!). Then seating in the middle of a table wif lots of corporate uncles n aunties chating abt kids, the Big 4 accounts firms, investments off Wall Street n what's the top news on factiva. Help! (The situation is the same as having lunch wif my big cousins!)

Ok, lets be serious. Being a little freshie, its a great chance for better exposure for the company culture n all. But the cost of getting a night grown n putting up makeup puts me off. I hate comestics!!!

I'm still pending whether to go or not to... Hav to give my reply by 5pm today. Sigh!

Frustration

These are one of the days I ruffle my hair, scoff at the heat. my horomones go hay-wire n I wan a gd scream!!!

This week has been like a whirlpool ride for me. Meeting new ppl, learning biz lessons fr true blue entreprenuers, getting gd opportunies / missing out gd opportunies, shopping wif friends, meeting cuties, facing the dead, losing appetite, losing sleep,travelling on the road at 120km/hr,reviving my dying fishes n blah blah blah... That's too much information, too much to learn, too much to reflect, in too little time.

Fine, the whole world of events can nv stop. What's really bugging me is that I may hav to go back to that rm again. My knuckles go white n I winced at the news dumped by some top medical idiot. I'm scare.

I guess I'm thinking too much, being a deep-thinker ain't too gd when u r still 20. I still have a long way to go, lots to learn, see n laugh abt.

Sunday Morning with her majesty

As dawn draws n the sun is on the horizon, I stretched my body in bed, wondering wistfully if I should go for an old friend's chalet later in the evening.

A voice breaks my trail of thoughts... " Gal ah... Dun put ur fish tank in the living rm!!" Followed by Deafening bang n the gush of water.

I leapt to my feet immediately, n saw my mum carrying the cover of my tank in one hand n screaming at my gasping n jumping clown loaches, pieces of broken acrylic littering the floor n the brackish liquid creepling in all directions.

My respond was " go get a container of water, mum", while I tried to grabbed my jumpy n slippery loaches out from the debris... Mum juz stood motionless. I yelled at my bro, who was at the end of the living rm... "Hey, quickly get a container of water...." Instead, the both of them juz stared at me kneeling n struggling wif the fishes n my bro giggling at the scene.

At that instance, I lost my temper n shouted... " juz dun stand here...GO GET A CONTAINER OF WATER!!!"

The both of them went to the kitchen n I heard my mum asking my brother," Boy, which container u think is nice to keep the fishes?" I was furious... My fishes need water n there mum is selecting her choice of container!!!

Finally, my bro got a small container n I put my loaches in... N my mum quickly recovered from her shock... n started ordering around" Gal ah... go wipe the floor clean n she dumps a pail n some old rags by my side.

Great. I goes on my fours, sponging all that pungent water, getting my shorts wet n smelling so fishy. How classy. N mum nags at how I dirty her furniture, my clown loaches r going to breed an army of mosquitoes blah blah blah...

Fine. I told mum umpteeth times, DUN MOVE MY FISH TANK. I hav to do all the cleaning n put up wif ur unreasonable attitude.

That's definitely so Fucked up. Nevertheless, I kept my cool n told mum once again~ "Dun move my fish tank for the final time."

N all she dismisses is " Oh... Its juz my carelessness."

Now my fishes r dying. Damn it.

Ya. Her majesty gets what she wants. =(

I'm tired

I hav not had much sleep since Monday. I'm feeling so tired n can hardly get food down my throat though I feel hungry.

I need a gd nice long walk n quiet break. Hav been closing my eyes n taking deep breath in office to calm down. Its helps a lot.

Time to hav an early rest....Zzzz

I need a walk

Yesterday morning on my way to work, I happen to appear at the wrong place, at the wrong time.( To those who know)

Its really unlucky, but maybe its juz coincidental.

At first I was shocked n scared. This makes me hav this core unsettling sick feeling.

Its better after talking it out n carrying out the cleansing. But I still hav that sick feeling.

My respects... I'm sorry....

Outing

Here are some photos of the sentosa trip on Tuesday....

Presenting, the six shadowy figures

Our first stop was the Palawan Beach where we had our breakfast cum early lunch n most importantly, slacking... Went near the clean waters n our skin got roasted in less than 10 mins!!! Arh!!!! Anyway, did'nt stay at the beach for long thanks to some childish fools...

View of Palawan Beach.... Clean sand, clean waters n quiet families on the beach... Ahh....

Our next stop was the Sentosa Luge.... Haaa! Its was quite fun on the cable seat with a panoramic view of sentosa...Didn't take any pictures cos I dun hav a handguard for my camera...

We had lunch at Sakae Sushi n my Ramen came after everyone finish their Udon.
Y always me the last to eat? =( Nevertheless, had a gd time joking n free Ramen.

Took a few photos at this siloso logo... Juz nice for the six of us!

After that, went to town in shorts n slippers. Yeah!!! I love being so dressed-down =P Walk around town n taking neoprints wif unprepared poses...
I can't wait for a next outing...

Arh... End of bored-blogger-syndrome-

U are beautiful....

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was, Fucking high, And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you.
