my 2009 resolution

this year 2008 was a real spending year for me..
i was kinda guai during the 1st few months. but i started un-controlled shopping from august onwards.

thus i sort of exceeded my budget.

next year 2009, i have to control.

1stly, a house is coming for me to buy and i had to save
2ndly, i never got my big wants and i better save for it
3rdly, i haven went overseas this year except that genting trip.

so how now?

in 2009,

1) i will not buy un-neccessary cosmetics.
i have un-used mascara which i can sort of like open it ard april.
thus, it means i only need to buy my next mascara ard my birthday.
no more accident buys please.
i also have un-open lippy... so i shall not purchase any lippy till my birthday
and also since i dun really use blusher, i shall not buy any blusher.
my next bottle of foundation should be able to last me till april

2) save for an overseas trip.
2009 will be a hard year for me. regardless becoz of project or money.
thus i decided to go overseas on 2010 instead. taiwan or japan or korea or hong kong. all are fine.

3) lesser taxi and more bus + mrt.
this month is admit is a super taxi month such that i'm also super broke.
i admit that tiredness is the killer and i had to fight against it next year

4) beauty sleep => wake up early => take bus => save money and be pretty
before 12 midnight please

5) go gym more often. at least twice a week.
to hit Y5.0KG by 1st quarter.
then Y0.0KG by mid-year

6) work better with a better mind.

7) quarrel lesser with Baby Thia.

Movies that i watched in October

画皮
i watch this show in a mistake. we wanted to buy [保持通话] sneak preview but mr tay told me dun have. so we ended up watching this. It was a good mistake. The show is great and that i'm surprise that 赵微 improve her acting so much. she is super good in this show. the story line is pretty good. just that it wasn't anything horrifying as i wish it was. i would say it is a love story, rather than a ghost story. but it is really worth the money.

保持通话
i admit that the aim of watching this show is to see 大S. despite that i'm not a fan of her, but i really admire that someone who isn't gorgeous, can take good care of herself such that she become much prettier than plain. ok, let's talk abt the show.
action movie i would say, but then someone told me that it was COPY from a english movie. anyway i dun care unless they copy from japan la..
but i like the story line etc. and it gave me a shock within 10 mins of the show.

aiya~ i cannot do reviews for movie la.. just go watch this two.

魔王

so touching!! the last episode!!

but i cry when kasai die.. coz mari-chan so poor thing
(guess i'm really a fan of michiko)

and naruse ryo... manaka tomoo tried to hide the fact that he is stabbed by wearing his jacket.. (T_T) (satoshi-kun)

ikuta toma-kun, hao ke-lian.. brother die, dad die, he also die..... so many ppl die. (T_T)

finally completed.. Love maou!! must buy!!
but why the ending so horrible de.. everyone die..

P.S.: i cannot believe that i was thinking abt BL when toma was holding satoshi's hand before he die..

Stella Awards

*extracted from a email received.

It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"!

For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one
could get burned doing that, right?

That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.


7TH PLACE:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers
after breaking her ankle tripping o ver a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.

6TH PLACE:
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

Go ahead, grab your head scratcher.

5TH PLACE:
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish.

Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his
anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish.
Keep scratching.
There are more...

4TH PLACE:
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock , Arkansas , garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his
next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.

Grrrrr . Scratch, scratch.

3RD PLACE:
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people being responsible for their own actions?

Scratch, scratch,
scratch. Hang in there; there are only two more Stellas to
go...

2ND PLACE:
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window
to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental ex penses. Go figure.

1ST PLACE: (May I have the drum roll please! )
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just incase Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.




What kind of society are we living in??

Movement 2

Finally the movement will be done from wed onwards. reporting to a new place.
really like the old cubi.

glad that at least i know new place will have company. lovely.

i need a mug there i think.

Jealousy

Mrs. Culpepper was almost in tears.

“Oh Marie,” she said to her maid, “I have reason to suspect that my husband is having an affair with his secretary.”

“I don’t believe it for one minute!” Marie snapped, “ You’re just saying that to make me jealous!”

Y- Generation

are people born between 1982 and 1994.

today

i told someone that:

"to me, getting a relationship is like shopping... once i decided, i'll take, dun need to wait for sale or another person opinion, coz the next time u come back to the store, the item may be sold out"

"sometimes it is good to let your heart lead u, rather than your head lead u.. coz head lead u to the correct route, but heart lead you to a surprise."

Movement

With new upcoming movement, i'll have two office.

(nearest mrt station)
1) @ yck
2) @ dhoby ghaut

and my client still remains @ tanjong pagar

half of my working hours should be at the new office @ dhoby ghaut.

suppose to start from next month, but was told right after i came back from M.C.
most likely will move over next week. but my barang barang can remain @ yck. coz anyway some days also need to stay in yck. sian~ seems like need to move my lappy over too (hopefully dun need move it everyday)

i can foresee that with the new arrangement, i'll spend more.

Sick (T_T)

M.C. for two days..

or one and a half ba.. coz 1st day still went back office to settle some stuff in the morning.

throat infection + fever + flu. kinda horrible.

back to rest. today is the last day of M.C.

Morning Bus-stop

This morning i saw a couple quarreling at the bus-stop.

When i look at the woman, i wonder if i also look the same when i quarrel with Baby Thia. That's so ugly!!

so mentally i decided that...

i'll quarrel with him only after i reach home

hahahahahahaha

Day of Last Week - Friday

The Friday is an eventful day.

Had photoshooting @ NYP during lunch break to help to promote NYP to the potential students. The gold medal disgrace me. It looks so much smaller than the silver medal!! haiz.. i think the picture will look super funny. The team is small, but somewhat professional. Anyway, waiting for the pictures to be send to me!!

Lunch had to settle for something in NYP due to a rush of time. Met my industrial project lecturer and he intro some deputy director to me :D

Went to watch the murder of inugami clan. super old type of show.. but i love the mystery, i love matsushima nanako in the show.. hehe..

had a fight with baby thia before the show, but patch up upon the start of it. reason? show starts @ 8.25 and he is at tuas @ 7:45pm and lakeside mrt @ 7:55pm.
haiz. speechless.

Dinner in the cathay cinema is fun. so dark, cannot see the food at all. but the baked rice is yummy. and wasn't that expensive. paid abt $18+ for a medium popcorn, 2 drinks, one chicken baked rice and one fish & chips. Kinda worth it i think.

Anyway, i think i still like cathay @ The Cathay and GV Gold Class or GV Max. One day should try the GV Cinema Europa. Haven been there yet.

Change of skin care

I have been using L'Oreal for quite some time. maybe abt two years? since the day i started to realise that i need a toner but olay dun have.

previously i was someone who one switch, will switch all the products. recently i learn that it is not neccessary (i used to think that the effect will be better if use all in the same series).

the 1st time i started to change my skin care will be to use the face shop products, and to use bobbi brown eye cream. i'm now starting to change slower.

Now using L'Oreal Facial Foam, but the next bottle to go after this finishes will be The Body Shop Aloe Facial Foam, Then i'm planning to get Shu uemura Cleansing Water. Has tested it at the shop and i think is pretty good (yeah!)

Another thing that i'm changing is Make Up Remover. With the introduction of RMK(RuMiKo) from Japan, i have immediately got a bottle of each and planning to use immediately upon the finish of my current L'Oreal Cleasing Milk and Lip & Eye Make Up Remover. I like the RMK texture as it is not too oily as L'Oreal is. Seriously i don't like cleasing oil.

Now i have change my night cream to The Face Shop Dewy Flower and toner to The Body Shop Aloe Calming Toner. Decided that i will not longer believe in using a standard series.

I'm looking for a good whitening essence. Anyone have something good to recommend?
My main skin concerns will be Hydration + Whitening + Anti-aging (aka firming) + Pore Tightening. Let me know if you have any good reco for me.

Cheers to better skin~~

(T_T)

i wanna watch murder of inugami clan but cannot find anyone yet~~

the stupid baby thia last minute say has to OT. Last night he still tell me go ahead and book tickets 1st~~ then i told him i'll book today, and this morning he say cannot (T_T) *kick, punch, hit baby thia to ocean pacific*

haiz..
till now, only steph is ok, but she is meeting her bf today and how can i be a light bulb.. (coz she say the 3 of us watch together) *super sad now*

the show may be off screen soon, and one day only got 2 slots(late afternoon and night), i only can watch tonight. haiz.

Edited: Baby Thia manage to try to finish work by 7pm. He say he will "fly" over. phew~
*throws a rope to ocean pacific*

Truth - Arashi

My Current Favourite!!

Love Love Arashi!!!

My favourite part of the lyrics :
1) たとえどんな世界を描いても 明日は見えなくて
2) たとえどんな終わりを描いても 心は謎めいて





ゆらり揺れる光ひとつ
痛み癒すことなく消える
I'll take your life forever
You'll take my life forever

ひらり落ちる涙ひとつ
思い届くことなく消える
I'll take your life forever
You'll take my life

止まらない（こぼれ落ちた涙のあと）
時に潜む（こぼれそうな涙の色）
愛はきっと降り注ぐ雨のように

戻れない（こぼれ落ちた涙のあと）
記憶めぐる（こぼれそうな涙の色）
全て奪われたこの世の果てに

悲しみ
たとえどんな終わりを描いても
心は謎めいて
それはまるで闇のように迫る真実
たとえどんな世界を描いても
明日は見えなくて
それはまるで百合のように穢れを知らない
願いは透明なままで

白く染まる花に１人
何も変わることなく誓う
I'll take your life forever
You'll take my life

届かない（こぼれ落ちた涙のあと）
声に残る（隠し切れぬ２つの顔）
愛はそっと吹き抜ける風のように

終わらない（こぼれ落ちた涙のあと）
夜に眠る（隠し切れぬ２つの顔）
夢の傷跡に残した痛み

悲しみ
たとえわずかな光生まれても
嘆きは繰り返す
それはまるで嘘のように消える真実
たとえ最後の羽を開いても
運命は変えられず
百合の花ははかなげに痛みは消えない
夢なら愛したままで

悲しみ
たとえどんな終わりを描いても
心は謎めいて
それはまるで闇のように迫る真実
たとえどんな世界を描いても
明日は見えなくて
それはまるで百合のように穢れを知らない
願いは透明なままで

Fire Drill !!

Since secondary school, i never experience this again.

today my office got fire drill~ haha.. so surprised that i'll say hello to fire drills again. but it was fun (for the 1st half).

I try extinguishing fire on a fire wok, and CPR. This is really fun and pending photos from aibing.

But the evacuation is horrible in the hot sun. haiz...

In conclusion,

Fire Drill = Skip Work + Get a tan.

To all Oily Skin!!

Free L'Oreal True Match 2-way foundation in R2.

I have extra refills and i'm giving it away. sorry that there is no casing for u. but the texture is good and it will still come with a sponge, so u still can apply at home.

anyway, u dun really bring foundation out right?

so contact me k? i have two extra refills. one is proper packaging, while the other is not. but both are brand new and not used yet.

by the way, for your information, the reason why i giving it away is because i'm dry skin. wanna switch to liquid foundation.

疯了啦！！

告别讨人厌的Mr X 后, 又来了另一个。

there is a cleaning lady at my office who is in charge of the area beside me.

i used to be very nice to her, coz i'm the type that will say hi to all of them as they help me to make our environment better.

but this week i got a little irritated too. (wonder issit becoz i got PMS..)

anyway, let me tell you what happen yesterday and this morning ba.

yesterday morning, i was testing on my codes, then she came to empty the bin, as usual, i pull out my bin (i put it under my table). Then she look at my table flowers and ask if i wanna throw away while touching it. Then i reply no, and continue with my work. Then she started to continue the conversation that coz a few other ppl is throwing away their flowers etc etc. Then she continue her "speech" for abit 20 mins, but i din really pay attention (i know is rude, but my codes need to be ready by noon).

then after she walk away, one of my colleagues came over and give me famous amos cookies. it was un-open and left on the table. Later when she walk past with a vacuum cleaner, she stop at my place and tell me that cannot eat this cookies, no good for health, will grow fat, even she also dun dare to eat de lor. then continue again again and again. my table happen to have some chocolates that another colleague gave previously and she continue to comment on that too.

then peaceful time came, lunch. as one of my colleagues need to go meeting, so we went earlier, which means i came back early, which means i met her again during the lunch throwing of rubbish. She looked at my the other flower (soft-toy flower given by wendy) and say it is very nice and ask if it my 定情信物。 i told her no la.. and casually mention that it is a gift from my friend and not expensive de. Then she say “礼轻情义种。 你明白吗？“
“我明白。”
“你解释给我听。”

我的妈阿！！ i almost faint at the spot.

Then later i saw her in the toilet. I was clipping up my hair (the way i always do when i work), coz my hair was abit messy after coming out from toilet. Then she started again

(Lazy to type in chinese, we spoke in mandarin, so i translate abit)

She : Why don't you go cut your hair?
Me : ??
She : Your hair so long should cut liao
Me : No la, i like my hair to be long.
She : Do you steam your hair? (FYI, she really use the english word steam)
Me : Steam?
She : Ya, must steam ma then will soft
Me : (thinking that she refer to treatment) ya, sometimes.
She : Must steam then hair will be soft (she repeats)
Me : (ready to leave the toilet)
She : (Look into the mirror) Last time i also got long hair, but you see now bald liao, so i don't dare to have long hair
Me : ...

I'm glad that she end work at 4:30pm

Then this morning, she came and talk abt throwing away my dry flowers again and
started questioning me abt the guy who sit beside me... how would i know where is he, where he stay, what he doing, is he coming back today. haiz...

now i try not to even talk to her except saying "Thank you" whenever she empty my bin

Irritating

early in the morning i saw X.

X is someone that i think is super irritating.

I knew that he is so irritating when i 1st met him.
(Christina may know who i refer to)

Then suai suai this morning again meet him.

i was late, due to a stomach upset + yesterday work later than usual.

so he ask me what time i usually go home. my answer is recently abt 6+.

then he sarcastically ask that "then you come at this time?"

He is NOT my boss, who is he to comment? And worse still, he himself come so late wat. Even if he work late yesterday, it does NOT mean that i did not work late yesterday. And if he comment based on my answer, then i would say his english sux coz he ask "usually" k!!

What does he knows about my work? does he know when i work till 1am, and had to come in at 8am? who is he to judge that i'm wrong to come at this time? I wouldn't pull the rest of the people in company into the same hot soup, but then i just felt angry at the way he speak.

Anyway, people like him who come "on time usually' make no difference to ppl who come late. Coz they will spend their own sweet time in the canteen having breakfast and chit-chat till 10.30am. (official work time start is 8:30am). So ppl who come at 9am does not means they are not contributing!!

I should have ignored him like the way i did previously.

Spoil my day.....

Almost fell asleep in office

super tired.

all thanks to mum + curry fish head.

Weekend - Saturday

This weekend is a super tiring one. Packed with messy activities.

Saturday started with lesson @ ikoma. Mum was sick last weekend, so apart from missing matsuri, i also miss my sunday lesson. Thanks to ikoma that a replacement is never difficult.

After lesson, i went to border to get my cosmo. cosmo is one of my fav magazine now. it is very different compared to RAY. RAY is my fashion, beauty, skincare consultant, while cosmo is my brain consultant. maybe alot of ppl may think cosmo have a lot of sex related articles, but then u may also notice there are alot of real life stories at the other end of the world.

meeting baby thia make one impt aim of the day. to get Paul & Joe Lullaby!! and i added a lip color, nude like skin color i would say. very different from what i usually will put, but i'm super happy with it. coz is nice!! i give up the pink color for this. @ isetan, i was so excited when i see RMK. do u know what RMK stands for?

RuMiKo. the name of the creator. so cool..

anyway, i got a little attracted, but faster move my feet to Paul & Joe instead.

On the bus to PS (movie + lunch + men's shopping), we met baby thia's colleague.. so paiseh!! coz i did something embarressing in front of them. (T_T)

lunch was at manhanttan, coz i had a 15% discount with thanks to UOB. much cheaper than Fish & Co, but Fish & Co is much tastier.. well...

clearing vouchers are impt so we went to get man's clothing (of coz is BT wear la).

watch Wall. E. only one comment. cute yet i think i don't really suit to watch anything that has very little human language. almost died in loss of words.

bought some facial cotton from daiso. if shuhan see this, she will think i'm mad.
coz friday i just bought some. well, last time i used to think i'm ok with watson's facial cotton which is like less than 1 cent per piece. Until i use kanebo facial cotton. **stunned** how can facial cotton be that good!! watson is so disappointing becoz of the "dropping cotton" but anyway, it is cheap ma.. so well, i got some from daiso coz it is cheaper. $2 for 120 pieces, which is less than 2 cents each. coz kanebo's $8 ++ for 60 pieces, and $6.50 for 120 pieces for two different type.
*happy* ('ll talk more @ stylist blog)

the body shop was having some clearance at PS atrium, so went to join the fun. bought aloe vera toner (heard from mayu abt it) and aloe vera cleanser. my l'oreal white perfect cleanser is finishing and it ripping my skin dry. so thought of trying this and see how.

ended the day with yummy beef hor fun, thai bee hoon and cosmetics packing!!

Bobbi Brown Justice

Today i decide that i should return some justice to Bobbi Brown.

This morning , along with anna sui eye shadow, i use bobbi brown most famous eye liner and a lip gloss in peach shade.

i'm someone who fantasy lip glosses more than lip stick, but most lip gloss like red earth give me dry lips problem.

The bobbi brown lip gloss in peach give me a few benefits when use along with shiseido lip essence.

1. doesn't wear off when i drink water. i had this problem with shiseido glosses.
2. doesn't dry my lips.
3. nice lip color with little gloss, little color, but alot of natural look in it.
4. very suitable to go with heavy eyeshadow make up.
5. instead of shimmer or gloss, i should say it brighten my lip.

Sad~

K/\TE Fall 2008 is not coming singapore!! (T_T)

Arashi's Scandal

Was watching maou recently and thought of mayu saying about ohno's scandal.

To my horror, upon searching, i found much more that ohno's scandal.

even found aiba's. and it was even classify as like edison's sex scandal lor..
(where got that bad....)

anyway some links

Sakurai Sho’s (and Nino’s and Aiba’s past) scandals

sorry, only one.

But after some search i realise that jun has no scandal available online. hmm

bobbi brown makeup workshop

i recently went to bobbi brown workshop.

maybe it is good for others, but it is obviously wrong for me.

Let me list 5 main reasons:

1. Bobbi Brown is yellow tone based, but i'm pink based. (even the make up artist says i'm pink)

2. The colors are generally too dark for me. The lippy color are either too red or too dark for me, and my colleagues and i think it add about 10 years of experience to my face. (u know what i mean)

3. All the gloss color that i wanted is out of stock.

4. The blusher application method is too general. different face shape have different ways of application. and different application have different meaning (triangle = mature, round = cute, etc0

5. the eye-lashes curling method don't curl!! For ppl who know the multiple curl methods will know that you should curl once in the roots, and move out abit to curl, and continue till the tip. and i was taught in the workshop to curl at the root, and hold and move your hand upwards. (what a painful method).

A lady approach me coz i was looking for other things to replace my original to but (the palette) and the lady insist that the palette is a good buy so i should. i was explaining that the lip color is too dark for me (the pt 2). so she suggest that she makeup for me instead, which i agree. then after that it still fail, but she insist that it is because my blusher is not red enough. i think she din know the basic rule of make up is eyes, blush and lip, only one should emphasize. not all!! haiz.. at that time i already have my blusher on my cheeks liao lor!!

Give up on bobbi brown. except their eye liner, which should be super great. yet to try. anyway, wanna buy laneige products + body shop fall makeup.

MSC or MBA ?

Recently i have been pondering about this again and again.

Be Specialised in Computing? or Climb up to the management?

I check out the MBA available. Not too relevant to my job . However it means to be able to switch to a new job. Seriously speaking i have no such intention now. afterall i just work for half a year.

anyway, pricewise, both in general is about the same.
Based on inflation rate, i estimate the annual fee to be $3300(part-time) to $6100(full time). [need to $ave]

小栗旬 - 綺麗！！

mooncake mooncake~~

i got my raffles hotel mooncake!!

this year pre-order finally allow me to have a taste of it before others do!!

the mooncake is super yummy, esp champagne!! lovely.

this year there is a new flavor orange walnut. walnut is nice but i dun like the orange. coz it taste like orange jelly.

anyway, the rest of all, you are still as good!! (though the cognac taste is weak).

hime-sama bought 4 boxes (during pre-order). 4 different flavor so that i can mix.

1. Mini Snow-Skin Mooncake with Champagne Truffle & Ganache
2. Mini Snow-Skin Mooncake with Raffles Cognac Truffle
3. Mini Snow-Skin Mooncake with Dark Chocolate Crunchy Pearl
4. Mini Snow-Skin Mooncake with Orange and Walnut

so after mixing, each box will have 2 pieces of each flavor.

i brought one to office to share. Best way to mix around in MNC.

one is for baby thia, and one for godma.

left one will be station in my house fridge.

so for those who wanna have a piece of it, come and drop by my house ba.

It is about $48 per box, so about $6 per piece, so for each bite is $1.50.

haha

abit sian

work is piling, but i dun really know how to do. abit sian. haiz.

snow white

i want to be fair fair fair...

i stop eating papaya since poly because it will make me yellow.
now then i realise carrot got same problem!! no wonder i'm still so dark.

i desperately need to be fair.
becoz i'm the type where i'll be super ugly when i'm dark, and abit ugly when i'm fair.
so i need to be fairer. and i wish to be like a piece of paper.
tissue paper. whatever white paper la..

now i'm trying on with new habits on cleansing, and taking care of my body (health and beauty).

this is my water plan:

Morning	200ml of water before shower
	Breakfast with 100ml of warm water (no tea, no coffee)
Breakfast to lunch	500ml of water
Noon	Lunch with 200ml of water
Lunch to Dinner	500ml of water
After Dinner	100ml of water
After Bathe	200ml of water

so that i'll have an in-take of 1.8 litre of water everyday.
(usually i drink less than 600ml of water per day)

i manage to keep to this plan yesterday as it was draft during my lunch break. so for the whole afternoon to night i follow it.
however, morning i forgot abt the 300ml. till now, only 100ml consumed.

drinking more water is trying to make myself full fuLL FULL.
(so that i will eat lesser)

unhappiness

when one thing goes wrong, many things goes wrong at the same time.

started with some problem with my existing OLD project, then have sore throat (seriously believe is the spreading of virus in my working area), flu added on, and sore throat became worse that i almost cannot talk.

Dr Tan's medicine is powerful. One dose and i'm cured. "Maybe it wasn't that serious", many ppl told me. But then i can't talk in the morning u know.... coz it was so painful.. haiz.. anyway, who will understand the pain except me?

now my new project i abit cannot catch up, yet got alot of messy ends to tie off for the old project. haiz.. i think i'm not performing.. heart went to some other places.

shrinking responsibility

i want to do so!!
i want to push all to other people..

so angry.. why now i keep feeling is my fault that make everyone so busy.
that make everyone's schedule in a mess?

i din do anything wrong..... (T_T)

or at least let me blame on the stupid machine la..
why the smaller machine no problem, but u supposing stronger and better give me weird problem.

yellow ribbon

are you willing to give them another chance?

sms or email me. i planning to order the yellow ribbon in bulk.

each ribbon is $2. let give them our small contribution to tell them that

不会走头无路的，一定会有你应该走的路。

give them another chance. make our quality of life better.

brand + money = lifestyle

recently i realise that i'm not doing justice to my makeup box. everything inside is messed up and i'm not using everyting. my shiseido is well-used, but my red earth is chuck to a corner of the box. most people should have the same problem, but i'm taking about a different kind of problem, brand disorder. i use my new channel palette or my anna sui lipstick, but not my can-make eye shadow.

my recent trip to genting bring me to see someone who make me realise something is wrong. she is similiar to me, but w/o disorder. maybe is becoz our birth date is one day difference. Yes, is my godma.

something i wanna learn from her, and something not.
let's talk about the wants, or let me talk about her later and you know why.

i lust for coach bag, kate spade organiser, guerlain blusher, nine west shoes, burberry shawl dior palette, cartier watch and Hermes tea cup. be it the way i desire, i'm afraid of imitations. Yes, becoz of face. and something is wrong.

i used to have cheap things like a $2 pendant or a $10 skirt. then i started to change. From a $2 pendant, i started wearing pendant from lee hwa, sk or swarovski. nowadays i stop buying bags and bags. apart from the promise with my mum(no buys in 6 months starting from march), i realise that bags below $100 are hardly my taste. this is a disorder. in the genting trip, i keep looking carlo rino's luggage, while thinking to buy the handbag. it is cheaper than a coach, but you can buy 10 perlini bag with the design that i wanted.

but then disorder was cured. it was a thinking that cure it, i realised. coz most of the things i knew from before. my godma, who owe a gucci limited edition bag where only hollywood actress take actually have imitation goods like puma shoes. that gucci bag could probably get us 10 other gucci bags. she gave me a channel palette recently, but she has cheap blusher like < 10 SGD. this eventually made me understand one thing. money != sense (for non-programmer, exclamation mark means "not")

she has good taste i would say. and she would tell me rather save to buy a rolex than a coach bag. hey excuse me, rolex is so expensive!! but it has value, better value than a coach bag. i mean.. value such that it will not drop, but may rise, and a coach bag, is like a car. it will drop, definitely will.

so ended up i wonder what i wanted? brand or sense? money or face? in genting, i bought some cosmetic which is i thought i will nv buy. since the day i say bye to red earth and hello to shiseido, i know my lifestyle has change. i thought it is to change to luxury, but i realise it is wrong. i think it was suppose to change to be better taste and sense, and not spending more money for tasteless things. look at the auntie in their LV clothes, you really think they are mo-e/chio?

i realised that when i lust for that coach bag design, it was becoz it is nice. not becoz it is branded. i realise the mistake was not from the beginning but was when i realise the few design i like was branded, i thought i like branded goods. just like the can-make eye shadow that i really like when i bought it becoz it is really nice on me, why am i not doing it justice by kicking it to the corner of my make-up box?

i started having problem with my tickets to paul & joe private party, lee hwa fashion show and the upcoming dior launch of new products. thanks to my "waking-up" i threw away the dior ticket instead of throwing away my date with city-ppl to celebrate my birthday. though sad(to throw away), but i know that those products are not my cup of tea. i only like dior palette and their watch, and it becoz of design.

though said, but i still decided to discard some of my baleno, bossini clothing from my wardrobe. not becoz of brand, but the design is so wrong on me. even OP is wrong.

though said, but i will still not give up my dorothy perkins august buy and even set a few hundred budget for it becoz i have 20% discount for 1st buy in the birthday month.

though said, but i still buy expensive shoes becoz it is really the comfort that i buy for and not becoz of the price. no more vnc for me, it is so painful. URS is good, but i really love shoes in the takashimaya/robinsons.

though said, but i will still consider my carlo rino's while waiting to have enough money for my coach bag.

though said, but i will still lust for what i lust for, and save to get what i lust.

i realise that lifestyle = money in pocket + some brand + good taste
and not = no money + branded + branded taste only.

P.S. I HIT cheap JACKPOT in genting

Congratulations to myself!!

Finally finish the convocation and the 1st moment when i came down from the stage and went back to my seat i was thinking that

台下十年功，台上一分钟。

其实，也没有一分钟。但是却多过十年功。

i was super nervous the day before. can't sleep at all, and the next day i woke by before 7am, much earlier than i would on a working day.

then i started to watch jdorama until my mum came back..

anyway, i'll update the photos later, either tonight or when i come back from my short trip.

Really wanna thank liyan. She is my everything yesterday. Driver + Nanny + Photographer + Manager. I really thank her for the selfless help in my happy day.

Dinner was great.. of course, look at the price $700+++++++++++++

Thank da jie, da ge, er ge, godma for coming.

And mummy... for every other thing that others couldn't provide.

Tired

tml is convo but today i'm super tired.
Down with headache, abit of flu and swollen eyes.

wanting to go back soon. Pending for my user reply.

haha..

bff - Patrick

no no.. not baby thia... is PATRICK CHUA BING LUN!!

this horrible guy.. how long have i not seen him???

but i was actually the one who 放他飞机 on the day that we suppose to meet.. sorry sorry.. coz must understand that i only have that evening to go and get my lovely camera from the PC show.... blah blah blah.. oops...

why BFF

can you believe that someone is so self-less? yes, self-less.. everything he do is for everyone else but rarely himself..

he is one who i can make alot of nuisance to him, bash him up, slap him, and we still declare each other friends forever.

when i'm unreasonable to him, it would be 10 or 100 times worse than i can be to anyone else. let's say watch movie, an example

P: watch movie?
J: i want watch the XXX (some show he not interested), coz no one wanna watch with me
P: OK. watch where?
J: erm.. dunno.. i lazy leh.. watch at J8 ba.
P: OK. what time slot?
J: abt noon ba.. you go book tickets before i come (obviously i stay nearer)
P: hao ba.. hao ba..
J: and buy popcorn, coke, nacho chips before hand
P: popcorn sweet de hao ma? (he eat sweet de)
J: NO.
P: half half? (half sweet, half salty)
J: NO.
P: one-third sweet, two-third salty?
J: no salty popcorn, no watch.
P: have wat.. and more lor..
J: if i eat one sweet popcorn, i'll kill you..
P: ...
J: how?
P: ok lor. salty popcorn, coke, nacho chips lor...
J: more cheese arh.. the nacho chips...
P: ok..
J: we share share the nacho chips but the cheese is all mine..
P: ok lor.....

i always win!! haha!! or i should say he always let me win.. and it feels really happy to have someone treat you like a princess and he always does so, even thorough i was far-to-become his girlfriend.

he always nv fail to introduce his friends to me.. what does this means to me? he is never ashamed of being with me as a friend. it really make me happy becoz at the time i know him was the last time i ever had no confidence in myself.

he treat my friends with respect. i still remember once he came to look for me when i was studying at tp with ... i think is doreen. then the three of us went together for dinner and while waiting for food, he make small talk with my friend. (obviously he wasn't hitting on her, so dun be silly) to me, a friend who respect your friend is really a good friend.

on my 21st birthday, he came to help me, slog like some animal to help me. from preparing food, bbq pit till the final cooking, he is really my best helper the whole night (i would say). came and stay overnight with us the day before worrying that the gers are alone. even i was so rude to him when he came and told him so late might as well dun come, he still stay and help me and nv grumble about it and nv even mention to me how much he help in my so and so event.

one very impt thing that i need to mention him. In one event when ppl accused me of doing something i din, and the ppl ask him why he so "protective" of me, he say he believe that i din do that coz he knows i will not (T_T)....

he will always help me when i need him no matter big or small problem. i was in school and forgot my thumb drive, he was at home coz that time we were different class... and for those who know his house is nearer to school than mine. i called him and he was sleeping

J: ne~ wake up. i need help.
P: ??
J: i forgot my thumb-drive, go my house and get for me leh
P: orh.. OK
J: don't sleep liao la.. my mum will not know what is thumb drive so you go in my room, the thumb drive is plug to my laptop.
P: ok..
J: quick la.. then faster pass to me ASAP... erm.. 12NOON!!
P: orh..

in the above case, his lesson start about 3pm i think and it was 10:30am when i called him.. POOR THING~~ m(T_T)m

me and HIM

1. he is the one of the two guys friends who always know when i'm having PMS w/o fail.
2. my mum's favorite guy friend of mine.
3. we learn para para together from chongkai and became some center-of-attraction in Plaza Singapura.
4. he never fail to give me discount when i go to his baito shop and even his colleagues and friends recognise me and give me the same type of discount.
5. i always like to nag at him, and he will listen and explain. but when he nag at me, i will nag harder at him..
6. poly some ppl say he is like my slave but i nv think in this way. (even my mum scold me say i treat him like slave)
7. he is the one guy friend i have who shops with me and even help me to choose clothes that will compliment and flatter me becoz there is this new cute guy in school.. (haha)
8. he is the best customer service officer i ever met in my life.
9. he is the most filial and homely guy i ever know in my life.
10. once, i cried on his shoulder till his whole sleeve is wet.. i had a good laugh after that

words to him

i know you know what you want, but you are just too indecisive in your life. if found the girl, just snatch. don't care what ppl say, coz happiness is yours. go study like what you wanted. since IT is not yours, i will take away your share for you. go into business. that's what you want and what you will really excel.

friends for 6 years, from the time we ran after the last train(not our last train, but ck's) till now we haven seen each other since the last time i reported to you about a new bf and you gave me the omiyage from taiwan. gotta meet up soon before one day you forgotten about me and carry on with your life.

i thank you for being my (slave) friend. and that you never fail to trust me even when the world turn its back ard me. this is what i understand from you. even when everyone(e gers) said that i wasn't suppose to be believed, you stood by my side. i really appreciated.

thanks for being "liyan" in my poly life. but it turn out that you are not "liyan" but amazing another impt character in my life. someone who listens to who i like or dislike, love or hate. never told another person abt my secret, and even try to help create chances for me to be with the guy i like.. how can i ever find another guy friend like you again?

thanks mr lun-zi.. dunno if you get to read this post, but what is impt is my appreciation for you, and your endless friendship for me.

Japanese Women

following my post about the woman who i saw at the bus-stop, i realised that apart from gorgeous guys, i'm attracted to look at gorgeous woman (maybe i wish to be like them).

There are alot in Japan that i really love. Love to have some parts of them, but not all. Maybe is not the real them, but the working them (in dorama, movie or magazine).
but they are so cool. and lovely.

The list below is in random order.. no particular meaning

1. 関めぐみ(Seki Megumi) in ライフ (LIFE)
Talking about this character, i would say is her kakuii-ness... the way she heck care etc. i was watching this show using a super lousy online method and the screen is so distorted. but she is just so pretty. i haven saw her in any other dorama or movie or magazine so i cannot judge much yet. waiting to see any other of her 作品。
P.S. born on the same day as KKG

2. 酒井彩名 (Sakai Ayana) from レイ　（RAY) magazine
i have seen her 1st in エースをねらえ! (Ace wo nerae), a tennis dorama. her character midorikawa ranko is a tennis killer... i would say she can kill with a tennis ball and racket, and everyone who watch the show will argee with me. in the drama, the way she love her coach aka her step-brother is so erm.. no comments.. but i was so suprised to see ayana in ray magazine coz she is so cute!!! i thought of her as a cool character until i saw her blog. her lovely and cute character hide the fact that she is a owner of a wedding boutique with many branches in japan despite that she is the same age as me. i wish i was half as great as them, and not someone who stuck in my life. the announcement that she is marrying L'Arc-en-Ciel's Tetsu is a big surprise. tetsu is 16 years older than her!! but i guess it is too common a situation in japan. it is probably becoz of her that i read ray magazine

*** still more to go but i lazy to continue ********

lady

there is this lady who i always saw at the bus-stop whenever i'm late for work.

she is someone who i just can't take my eyes of her. to think that i'm a lady too.

we always take the same bus and sometime alight at the same bus stop(my bus-transfer, her destination)

seen her a total of 3 times. (i think)

i think i will nv get to see someone so pretty again.

everything abt her is gorgeous. how to say..... i think is her aura... yup.. aura... a kind of aura that i cannot resist and keep looking at her..

she is not the elegant type.. more of a korean woman kind of feeling, yet not the normal one. once i thought that she look like xi-zhen in "jin san shun" but on 2nd look, that's not true. she has the X-factor. i dunno what to say.

anyway, if you see her, you will know what i mean.

P.S. i still prefer seki megumi from [Life] than her.

BFF - Liyan

a long friendship. exactly 10 years in 2 Jan 2008.
but it is not the length that matter.. (i do have friends of 16 years, 19 years).

why BFF?

accepts the unreasonable me. everyone has a time that is unreasonable.

ppl who are angry with you at that time and forgets it later are friends.
ppl who angry with you at that time and terminate the friendship afterwards are gomi(thrash).

liyan does not falls in any of this category, but a special one. Different from patrick (my best friend no.2), the way she accepts it is amazing. stands in my point of view, understand how i feel, take my nonsense, and always listen to what i say. She never ask me to put myself in others shoes coz she understand that 我在气头上。

Sometime i wonder if we have a one-way telepathy. Coz she always know when i'm sad, stress, angry etc.. the changing eye doraemon is something that to remind me of the telepathy.

she never say "everyone is also ..... ", though we know that it is fact (like everyone is also stressed, everyone is also ....) and i say that to ppl often too.

She automatically knows when i need her, without needing me to tell her and will always come, even though she dunno if i welcome her (but i know i'll always welcome her)

She is truly happy for me when happy things happen to me. This i know. and i know that not much people are able to attain this.

She accepts my fickle minded since when we were young and listens to my love stories without saying "AGAIN"~~ For all the guys that she knows i like, she never comment anything good or bad about them.

She never say anything bad about any of my friends, classmate, family etc.

She never throw me any cold shoulder despite that i may get very engrossed in something such that i forget everyone's existence.

She always return my missed call　(even it may be nothing impt)

me AND her

1. we fought. as per what i remember when we were young. shall no mention content. but as we are both civilized people, we fought with words and not action.
2. we belongs to a group name 城人杂志。 now nameless
3. our group have change members before. Only liyan, me, yan hao and peiyun are from the original 1st group. Chang Pin is the additional new born baby to our big family. We lost 2 guys before the new born baby.
4. in sec 1 and sec 2, i used to call her everyday.
5. we once went to a fire-station thinking that it is a museum. and on the same day, we lost our way and went to ROM.
6. we have different eating habits. i eat super-spicy, but she eat either mild or nothing. i like vinegar but she don't. i drink soya-milk, but she doesn't. YET we go out for meals often.
7. we know each other family members since secondary school.
8. we beat (i think) chang pin and pei yun in a game or arcade basketball.
9. our group last time favorite activity is bowling.
10. we (i think） never watch a movie together before.
11. she is the 1st person, to know of my current relationship.
12. She can recognized my family members when she see them elsewhere.

words to her

Don't feel too shocked to see this post and don't call me to scold or anything like that. Sometimes it is so amazing that after one big round we meet back together at NUS even after some separation in between. but it was probably the separation that make our friendship stronger. maybe separation is a strong word.

you are always the 1st person who i share my happiness becoz i know that you never fail to be happy for me. i'm really blessed to have you as my BFF and i really can imagine us talking about kids or house etc 10 or 20 years later.

thanks for sharing about the importance of investment and insurance despite that you dunno if i will reject it. you make me know the importance of making my money grow and secure my future. you are always there for discussion, be it a happy or sad issue, or money matters.

thanks liyan. we know we have completed 10 years friendship, and we are looking forward to the next 10 years. BYE BYE~~ (dunno how to end it)

why are some ppl BFF.

from today onwards i will list down ppl who are my BFF, or close to BFF or ppl who are not BFF but i appreciate. i will start with yan. maybe the actual names are mention, maybe not. but i will explain why.

why in terms of why they are impt to me.

perhaps this is the best way that i can show my appreciation.

look out for my next post on BFF -

P.S. i repeat, they may not be BFF, just that the series is call BFF

PC Show June 2008

usually PC show has nothing to do with me...

i hate the "sardine feeling" and i hate brushing my skin with other ppl.

i hate some stupid man..

but this year i went.. coz i believe there will be great deals!!

i got my T300



Love it features, love its design..

i don't like the elongated part of the normal camera.. thus T300 is bestzzz

i got a good bargain,

T300 + extra battery + 1 Sony 4GB SD Card + 1 Sandisk 4GD SD Card + 1 Tripod + 1 LCD Screen Protection + 1 Cloth for electronics + 1 SD Card Reader + 1 Sony Original Cyber shot Case = $649

one year standard warranty, and i add another 4 years to it by adding $72 (not bad huh)

DON DON DON

spot baby thia

some days in june, i brought baby thia to DON @ china st, cross st to eat the yummy chicken pie~~

then i realise something that i have missed out despite going so many times.

which is this internal garden seats.

usually i will be with my colleague who drive and thus we usually sits outside the restaurant/cafe to "guard" the car.

this is a lovely place.. and my photo does not do it justice..

next time my photo will be better.. bought a camera @ the PC show.. TBU (To Be Updated)...

Nature

Last night i was discussing my mum about going against nature is wrong.
(like i should not be discussing with her at that time, 1am, which caused me to be late today)

I told her about the cave-man and cave-woman. i once read about this and it says which man and woman nowadays fight, quarrel etc. But it was not in this way during the cave-man times. This is because at that time, cave-man will go and hunt and bring the food back, and cave-woman will stay at home and prepare the food and take care of cave-babies. Each of them (cave-man and cave-woman) did their job properly and don't snatch the other person job. cave-man bring the food back, and cave-woman prepare. cave-woman nv comment on cave-man's food and cave-man nv comment on the cave-woman's cooking. So life is in harmony. Now you can understand why man and woman in this century quarrel.

Going against nature is wrong. Or i should say the natural way. The natural way is to walk, or use horse, cow etc.. but when cars went invent, and our life become better, it is a non-natural way. Thus, we get air pollution and a hole in the ozone layer..

For everything that you get, you will lose another.

魔王

This drama is a remake of the popular suspense drama The Devil that was aired in Korea last year. Ohno Satoshi will be playing the role of a two-faced lawyer, one of which is a kind hearted soul and the other who is plotting revenge, using his brilliant mind, on the person who killed his relative. On the other hand, Ikuta Toma will play the double lead role of the man, who has become a detective due to his dark past, who is pursuing the mysterious series of murders and fighting against the devil (maou).

hime-sama: kill me.. satoshi as someone with a brilliant mind? toma as someone with dark past???

took train to meet BT's family for mothers' day dinner.. hp batt was flat.. and the only last msg i got was to meet at commonwealth.. then i waited for half an hour and started to panic.. only to think that must trust that he will come and fetch me.. finally he reach after 6pm. suppose to meet at the restaurant at 5.45pm de... haiz


tml still have a long day of activities..

for anyone who wanna book my days like friday night or sat or sun, take note of the next blog that i will post soon on my end-may, and june free days. of course, friday is not safe becoz may OT.. but nevertheless, if you dun mind waiting till abt 8pm, you still can try.. (^@^)

P.S. August bday celebration if any, may wanna consider booking my end july, starting aug asap. coz now city_ppl is planning for a end july chalet, and i'm thinking of a overseas trip (if possible) ard july or aug. (but high chance cannot, unless my project completely roll-out)

TO : MAYU

mayu-chan!! i'll be making 粽子 on 23 May Friday. Let's arrange whether i'll drop by your house to give you some, or the other way round.

If you missed this, the next time i'll make will be 6th june.

Lazy to blog

i'll really super lazy..

Time always seems to be not enough.

i went to a BBQ recently at my colleague's place as a gathering.. Fun but the weather is killing.. Swimming pool was below and i feel like jumping.. Thinking of swimming now.. but virus everywhere..

Shuhan ask me out, but i always end up busy or tired or some reason.. i'm sorry about that. but then in comparison, i think we met twice after chinese new year, but i haven even seen my best friend after CNY, and the other heartless best friend, i haven seen him for a year. Though trying to arrange to meet him this month, but dunno when got chance.. super packed with gatherings as well as work! Hard to organize gathering on weekdays (including friday) and for weekend, need give time to family + bf + gathering (if any) and some times even work.. (i was busy sending work related email before blogging this)

Mothers' day celebrate. a few. one has passed (today). another celebrate on the 16 may.

This week:

Friday: Concert by shuhan's brother

Saturday: Gathering with city ppl

Sunday: Still pondering whether to go to movie with Baby Thia or to go over to GM's house for a gathering.

Super Tired~~ ADDICTED TO ANIME

J-Dorama : Last Friends

J-Anime: Kekkaishi

J-Anime: Vampire Knight, Special A

Kawaii Tokyo

Anyone heard of this? Give me your reviews if you use it.

Happy Happy Aniversary

1st year anniversary!! which is today!! Looking forward to celebration tonight!! no OT please!!

oops! forgot to mention is anniversary with baby thia..
koibito no hi ka?

ラスト・フレンズ

Title: Last Friends

Staring:

長澤まさみ (Juliet in Romeo & Juliet) as michiru
上野樹里 (Nodame in Nodame Cantabile) as ruka
瑛太 (mine in Nodame Catabile, ando in Unfair) as takeru
錦戸亮 (Johnny's Entertainment, one litre of tears) as sousuke
水川あさみ (kiyora in Nodame Catabile) as eri

i love this show!!

seriously i was actually 1st attracted by utada's [prisoner of love]
random download the show and din expect it to be that good..

few must watch point:
1. sousuke's DV (Domestic Violence). How many times can we see DV perform by a johnny? michiru is the victim..
2. takeru's sexual fear. for some yet-to-know reason.. eri suspect that he is gay, but according to what i know, he like ruka (later).
3. ruka kiss michiru!! episode one ending. reminds me of koichi kissing tsuyoshi, however i would say this is a mature yuri stuff. i was a bit shock.
4. eri's problem.. unknown..
5. ruka on a bike!! imagine nodame!!


if you see my nick, you will notice the following..
Love, Liberation, Agony, Solitude, Contradiction - Last Friends


Michiru - Love
Ruka - Liberation
Takeru - Agony
Eri - Solitude
Sousuke - Contradiction


Michiru, seeking for love, finally thought she has, becoz of sousuke. Never ever imagine that she will be victim of DV.
Ruka, seeking for liberation. i dunno why. issit to set herself free from the trap she gave herself.
Takeru, with agony, from childhood time. Pershaps from family.
Eri, solitude. Outcast becoz of some reason.
Sousuke, he himself is a contradiction. in charge of handling DV of child abuse, yet he is conduct DV on his girlfriend. Right after the day she move with him.

Starting from 10 April 2008. This show is on Fuji-TV every thursday night 10pm.
Waiting for episode 2 with subtitles. Currently i only can understand zettai kareshi (showing from 15 April 2008) without subs.

Can't wait for the next epi!!!

結界師大好き～～

Becoz of this anime.. i finally thought of a given name...

An Old Story That I Like

A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The Loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out vey nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000.

The Chinese replies: 'Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there safely when I return.'

April

Life is just as busy.

Recently my resolution everyday is not to OT.
Despite working at my best speed everyday, i still keep OT.
Life feels so sad.

One of my collegues says that Balanced Life = No OT.
I agree. No wonder i feel so blur recently (not balanced).
OT has result in fatigue and serious sleepyness in me.

TV was showing Death Note on Sunday.
Silly Baby Thia ask if i was watching the one on tv.
Obviously not, i have the DVD wat. Thus i spent my whole sunday afternoon watching from Death Note to Death Note The Last Name.
Guess i'm a Light/Kira Supporter.. Coz i still dun like the idea that L wins the battle. Afterall, in the real story, was it N who wins the battle? I think so. Can't remember.

Yesterday was a bad day (not that bad).
Had a lousy lunch becoz of the mini portion, and work at client side till 8:30pm.
This results in a bad gastric pain at the end of the day.
I hate the kind of pain. haiz...

On the last friday of March, went out with Shuhan etc to celebrate her bday. Quite a sad thing that i have to OT. But a happy thing that we play till almost the next morning. When i reach home, i'm in time to collect the goat milk that i ordered

Goat milk. A new item that i'm ordering weekly. But i din drink, it was my mum who drank it. Low fat and full of vitamins. But i'm just too lazy to drink it weekly esp since i'm not at home most of the time.

New Staff. new staff will be coming to help out in the project. finally stable one.

Staff Conference last friday was great. In the big ball room of raffles city convention hall, i think about 2000++ of us gather. Games, gifts, snacks and fun. I heard that last year winning team's prize is a PSP each. WOW.. This year is a Ferrari remote control car. Guess it cost alot. Coz each team has about 50 to 60 ppl.
Obviously my team din won. If not i would have tell the whole world about it.. haha..
Quite like the USB Hub gift.. haha..

That's all for the time being~~

Good Night~~ Oyasumi~~

Working Life => towards a month

excited!! of coz!! pay is coming!! haha

taking abt work, i thought of my collegues..
my boss(we called as RO) is a very warm and nice lady.
Apart from her ability to do work, she is caring towards developers and project members. On my 1st day of work, she went around look for lunch partners for me (how sweet!!)

talking abt my lunch partners, they are super cute.. today, one of them came over and say "tabe mashou~" (which means let's eat). coz they know that i'm in love with japanese stuff.

Another one is going japan soon.. Today, on talking about japanese drama and stuff, i realise she kinda like Karasawa Toshiaki and told her that i'll lend her shiroi kyoto (白い巨塔)..

at times i go around sharing my rosebud tea, or jasmine tea with my boss, and collegues.. they are really very nice ppl..

Despite work is tough and working hours is long, but having a boss and good collegues around, it is better than anything.

Suddenly i thought of 2 developers who i'm working with recently.

One is a foreginer who told me that he couldn't speak english(or ppl can't understand his english) when he 1st came to singapore.. so he keep watching CNA (Channel News Asia) to pick up the language. (i wonder if i should watch NHK then)
anyway, he is really good and responsible.

Another one is someone who can do work, but i cannot start this person... mayu-chan should know who i mean.. coz i was freaking mad on CNY eve and i keep grumbling to her abt this person..

i'm now looking forward to my pay day.. Planning to go ikea and get new table upon arrival of new bed.. Love baby thia for the gift~~ and the effort spent in moving my old furniture out of the room..

Clare Oliver

I saw abt her on the news, so i search for her.. on watching her video clip on tv, i almost cry.. this is from her:
I AM at peace.

But if I could go back and talk to myself when I was 19 I would tell that girl not to use a solarium -- that melanoma is not a small cancer that you just have cut out and you will be fine.

I may pass in another week or it could be two. If I really fight it out, I may even have six weeks left.

It's scary, because I feel myself getting more tired, and each time I feel sleepy it worries me that I might not wake up.

So far I have lived 25 years. If I am lucky I will reach 26 because my birthday is on Saturday.

It is a short life, but I have lived it.

Subconsciously I did know that cancer was involved with solariums because I was aware of UV A and UV B rays.

But when I was 19, I saw a cheap offer of "buy 10 sessions and get 20".

The girl working at the tanning salon told me the fastest way to get a tan was to come in every second day and use speed cream.

My mum told me it was abnormal to get in a box and fry myself, but I told her it was cool and everyone was doing it.

After the 10th session I was starting to burn and it hurt, so I stopped. But I guess I stopped too late.

It would be irresponsible of me to blame it just on solariums, because I grew up in St Kilda and went to the beach a lot.

But you can't tell me the Government doesn't realise the dangers of solariums.

Young girls need to go out and educate themselves about solariums before they make any decisions.

Obviously my decision has been made, and I think they should be banned. But now that you know my story and the resulting risks involved, hopefully you will realise it is not worth having a golden tan.

I am angry at myself mostly, but I can't believe how much the industry is booming.

A lot of friends tell me I still have a lot of life left in me, but I just live every day as though it is my last.

I was 22 when diagnosed. I had just finished a Bachelor of Media and Communication and a Master of Cinema at the University of Melbourne and started work as a sports journalist at SBS.

I was on top of the world.

But I only got to work for three weeks and then I found out about my cancer.

I will never get to climb the so-called ladder, and even now I complain about not being able to run the rat race with everyone else.

I know I would be good at it -- I think I would be great at it.

I wanted to go to the top, but now feel I have so much potential that will be unused.

It was 2004 when they found a tumour under my left armpit, which they treated with immunotherapy.

In July 2005, it came back and this time they treated me with radiotherapy.

I was cancer-free for a year and seven months, and then in April I found a lump in my neck. I thought they could just cut it out, but it turns out there were seven tumours in my chest and one in my lung.

Now they have stopped counting how many there are.

I had all these ideas and in the end I was ready to accept that two years would be more than enough time left.

But I have accepted it, especially now that I am nearing the end and I am at peace.

When you are someone like me you realise that life is everything and you grab it with both hands and embrace it.

If there is something that you feel needs to be done, go and do it, and do it wholeheartedly because life is short.

People ask me how I can still be so happy with all this on my plate. But I have lived my life as a spark. I don't want to live a life where I am living until I am 100 and just flat boring.

I have always lived my life with compassion and passion. I have never been one to keep my silence about anything I have felt passionate about.

Melanoma is no joke. And I will keep championing this cause till the day I take my last breath.
