phone call

i guest being overly friendly with a stranger is a big NO-NO

especially feeling symphatic to a-sounding-very-stressed-person

i picked up most of the phone calls in office, and just now i get a call looking for my boss and colleague who are out for meeting. i recognize the voice as a desperate-sounding-guy-named-Erick.

he was very disappointed that he couldn't get a hold of my boss. then he starts mumbling about the contrator is chasing him up, hammering him, and he said the next time he calls again he must be calling from his bed in hospital if my boss weren't to reply his request of drawings.

poor guy, i thought.

he mumbles alot and very quick, and i just cut him short, 'chill' because i don't know what else i should say. i am not a naturally symphatic person either.

then he suddenly sounds enlighten. he asked me whether i could give him my boss's hp no. there's a quick wondering in my mind but i just ignore it and tell him the number.

'thank's Peggy, i will tell mr. Lau that you gave me his number so that he can scold you.'

!! so much gratitude shown !!

no wonder he never had my boss hp number! (ARG!!) damn! but for such a person he will get his paid for saying those mean things.

earliest of this year's

..bday wish is from boon keat ^o^ haha thanks~ it's a nice wish ^o^

no smoking please (and plus plus plus plus)

let me show you something interesting i found during one lunch time. hahaha..

8 months of being curly

is 8 months long of never touching comb

brushing extra money in -oil treatment form- to my hair

being a human puddle

getting my hair color changed naturally to dark brown (which i like actually)

liking the way my curl -curled up and the fluffy-ness

being told that my hair looks good on me

struggling with entangled hairs +the dead hairs that stucked on it

and also,

finally being told that i should just use my hair to sweep the floor instead of using broom

thus i made up my mind and get a $32 cut by a batu pahat guy


and i like this new cut :) *well, the only set back is it's shorter than what i initially wanted to have -which make me looks so similar to another girl in the office. i hope she doesn't mind

~me nita jason taoken~

special thanks to TaoKen, whose remarks opened up my eyes. to Jason, who had been telling me to cut my hair since few weeks ago. and also to nita, whose silent agreement upon taoken's remark made it all clear to me.

love might be blind, but as long as you keep your ears open to other's opinions then you will be fine. (*i had never love my hair like this before.. that's why i took so long to decide compare to last time)

monorail vs mrt?

Last Sunday, after buried myself in books and never stepped outside the house since the day before, I decided that I need a proper meal (*huh, I starts to bcome like hocksoon on weekends) so I went to SAM *Singapore art museum and to orchard road for a walk.

I took MRT and while I was on the escalator going out the station -and the mrt was leaving the station- I overheard a little boy, who stood behind me asked his mama in an animated voice,

“Mama mama, why is the mrt moves so fast?”

“Because, it needs to send a lot of people to their destination so it have to move fast.”

It took a while, but his respond surprise me,

“Then why monorail is so slow?”

I was thinking hard, ‘what will I answer if he ever asked me that question? Probably something like –technology gap?’

But his mom definitely gave an excellent answer that won’t make him think badly of either one

“Monorail is slow because it wants to let people see the scenery of the city.”

There I realize: it is not just being a creative director of Saatchi&Saatchi requires you to be super creative. Being a mother requires even more. Pheew~ perhaps that was the fact about monorail and I was being ignorant, anyway good job auntie! I’m so impressed :D

last friday nite

hoh~ my last friday night was good, rather unexpected i will say.

i went to indonesia cultural festival night, my old junior-highschool friend asked if i want to go.

i agreed without much knowing what will i encounter there... note* this friend is somebody i haven't met for...6 years? we did chat at msn sometimes. sometimes lo.. and we weren't close at all. still i really appreciate that he initiated to meet up.

the show was a musical drama about love between a rich guy with humble girl. so everything evolves around them who works out their differences and becoming a better person. the choir, the dances, the songs, all were not bad. *maybe bcoz i dont have particular expectation?

anyway it turns out we didnt really have much to talk about, and i guest he was tired bcoz didn't slept well the night before. the shows starts at 7 till 11 and it didnt allows us to get a proper dinner.

to be honest he is still good looking as-compare-to my memory. he was our batch's heartthrob, simply because he was top at studies, sports, and good looking. oh, if you know THE FIRST CLASS, the local show, he reminds me of the lead actor-max loong. a bit la ok?

after the show we suppose to be parted way, but he insist to walk me till little india mrt station (my home is on purple line while his is on green line). and we were standing somewhere between little india (purple line) -bugis (green line) and because i am much more familiar with the road here (the theather is nearby my office) so i lead him to bugis and said, 'there's bus there to my house.'

i didn't lie, just that i was lazy to take bus so i walked to the bus stop which doesn't have bus to my house. so then i decided to take mrt with him. hmmp because he told me, 'i will walk you back.' just like a dialogue from the drama and i just feel funny, so i said, 'no, i will walk you back.'

why? simply because i'm pro -ELLA enchanted and not cinderella.

(and too..kinda feel guilty coz i didnt do a good job at chatting and we quite run out of topics)
then at interchange he still insist to send me back home and he really did get down, and so unexpected, he really indeed walked me home until the staircase lead to my unit.

wew~ we really made a super BIG round to reach my home. his home is dammit far, 1 hour plus trip, but still, perhaps he just didn't feel like taking back his words, or somewhat stuck with the traditional idea-of being a good guy- anyway,

it was a memorable experience :D *being sent home by car and by foot feels different ;p

BRISINGR

hoh~ i spent my weekend finishing BRISINGR- the 3rd from the INHERITANCE cycle. *the first one was ERAGON. and the ending took me by surprise: IT'S NOT THE END yet! apparently the writer was..too chiong hei...so he needs to extend it to the 4th and the last. *thus it bcome INHERITANCE cycle instead of INHERITANCE trilogy.

nevertheless, it is beautifully written with lots of details for the characteres. and i always like the part concerning the political talks. the-smooth-carefully-arranged conversation and politically-safe-challenging-statement. and i think from reading it my vocabulary increase *abit ;)

i start it after reading Harry potter 1st book. and to comparison, harry potter is fun and light. whereas BRISINGR is heavy and more description for the enviroments.

and now i want to read....TWILIGHT! the movie is coming out next year -i think. Here at Singapore, the last cycle of it,-THE BREAKING DAWN- just came out, so every bookstore put a stack of the series near entrance and thus it caught my attention.

but but..i should hold myself back for meanwhile, and reached for the last page my old bookS before i open-my-new-page-of-being-21.

The power of 1st impression?

i was chatting with my girlfriend yesterday, then she asked me whether i had found myself a boyfriend or not. " im not good at it." i told her.

then i revealed to her what happened the day before. there's boss' friends who came to borrow books& materials from us. boss asked me to assist them. it was 2 girls and a guy. a tall and rather good looking one. my job was to help them find things that they want in our messy library. once done, i returned to my table.

it was after lunch around 3 and i was sitting facing my laptop with headset on, listening to inuyasha. i set it to a volume that blocked out other noise. because that was around the time i dozed off...

and then somebody tapped my table, "hey" and then only i realized that my mind shut down again without notice. and to my horror, it was that guy who was standing beside my table and asked where to get the catalogue for a carpet. so i hurried to the back and pretending that i know here to find the thing he wants coz... the library is really a mess!

OMG. couldn't i find another time to dozed off or for him to came over to my table? how am i suppose to make a better impression after that??

then my girlfriend said," dont worry, then you must have left a strong impression on him." then she told me how she and her boyfriend started talking to each other was after she fell down from the staircase. he laughed at her to be accurate, and then things developed from there.

aaaahhhhh....... thanks dear for lifting up my mood and changing my view about the 'incident'. well, forget about that guy. for i had been reminded how GOOD it is to have her as a friend.

xoxoxo, you know who you are ;D

being bias

hola~ (it's halo in spanish)

have i tell you that my office have little mouse sharing room with us?

last monday i had lunch with my boss and colleague and i told them i saw mouse at wisma atria food court, jumping here and there at the ceiling >.< yuks! singapore food court! and a big gray rat! i cant belief it! singapore! poor ang mo who gets such a bad experience at our asian country..
(*sorry but..if it's in my hometown, probably i will just forget it and say: it's normal)

then my boss said,

"you guys so bias. if it's the white one sure will say 'CUTEEE' but the black one wil say 'IYEEKKS'." and he is mentioning it is not happened only to mouse but also many other things.

which is. kinda true. poor mouse. but i hate it! coz it poop at my table and chair >.< geeZ!

lately

i had forgotten to give thanks lately, my bad :(

Thanks God for my job, my bosses, my colleagues, my house owner, and those contractors, suppliers i work with.

being a junior i still blur blur for many things, and Thanks God there's never people come and scold or shout at me saying, 'how come you donno ar?!'

Thanks God all had been very patient and polite, esp. those contractors, they didn't get mad when i say 'erm, i'm not sure..' they will mostly said, 'you check with your boss 1st'

Thanks God my colleagues are nice, they don't throw stuffs to me to do, they aren't arrogant when i ask stuffs, and even though we didn't really talk much, they are good people *my instinct say so~

Thanks God for my home too. my lady owner is a nice person and they keep the house clean. the son is a nice kid too. there's once i was moping the floor and he volunteering to help me saying, 'wo bu hao yi shi'

erm erm anyway lately i just dont like it when he walks he will made 'bum bum' sound like bass sound. he is not even fat, i donno why he walks with the back of the foot instead of toe landing 1st. so there's heavy sound when he walks =.= erm erm i hope... he wont do it that much... *if not im gonna hate him everytime he walks =.= swt....

Thanks God, everything had been great. i just forget to say thank you. so sorry ya~

a distasteful dinner

yesterday night was a bad night. the food was nice, japanese noodle and japanese char siew. it was nice thought it had nothing similar to chinese one. it feels like eating tuna meat actually!

what so annoyed me is because...certain friend with certain bad jokes. to me 1-3 times is still within limit, 4-9 times is still ok, but beyond that, it's really terrible.

what happend was i ask my friend for dinner. i dont have much friend here. so it's always friend a or friend b.

i asked friend a for dinner and accidentally on the street bump into friend b, so i politely asked if he wants to join us for dinner and he said yes.

things get to become so distasteful when the dinner start and friend a keep hinting i have 'secret guy' and look at friend b. again and again keep saying to friend b 'you should date her more, she always said bored'

the thing is, i dont have much things to talk about, so whenever i meet friend, mostly i will talk about things around me, including people around me. so friend a had heard me told him about friend b. but he goes twist it around and saying 'does he have a chance?'

friend a is the type of guy that put girlfriend above other friends. so when i told him about another guy friends, the only thing that can relate to his mind is about romance. even so, couldn't he KEPT his mouth shut and tease me any other time? not infront of friend b??

geez. cant i just hang around with guy and just as friend? im not in denial. it's not like im 30 and desperate for a boyfriend. what's wrong with it?

and before we go into mrt, friend a said to friend b 'date her more la, she always said bored' then friend b said 'why dont u date her instead' and makes me feel like ball being thrown here and there. that's when i really cannot take it anymore and i walk away.

dinner alone is way better than being accompanied by such distasteful companion.

time display

lately everytime i take a look at my hp, i always get to see interesting time display.

20:20, 11:11, 10:10, and just now, 16:16.

inuyasha

heehee..im running a marathon watch for inuyasha... i found a super nice website that able to play the video non-stop (so i dont need to click the next video with guilty feeling everytime one finish)

ah...thinking back what make this anime so interesting is because the idea of being rescued by Inuyasha everytime you get into trouble.

get to be rescued huh?

anyway, check out this web, www.watchfreeanime.net :)

shitty job

3rd month working, and i am confirm this is a shitty job. designer is a shitty job.

i had been doing a cafe, which is from the start boss said: 'modern, they want something modern'
so i proceed with mood board (which is scaning images from magazine for sample of color choice, furniture choice, the feel of the space)

i go with white, light brown wood and green lime. boss said ok, then i proceed with 3D rendering.

then he said, 'not there yet'

and after struggling 5-8 times then only he came and give me an image, an orange color mood- and said, 'make it more exciting'

fine. so at the end, everything become orange dominated, less green and white. fine.

and guess what?

yesterday he called and said, 'the client cannot accept it. tone down. they want something more earthy tone, classy - brown gold- earthy tone la'

!! @x@$%!Q !!!
