I'm a happy girl.

Thanks to dearie's little present. Little it may be. But it means alot.

Friday, November 17, 2006

I realise that I've been kind of critical these days. Am I overly sensitive of myself or what????

My best friend mistook that I am saying 'bad' about her photoshoot gowns. Hey, gal, I don't mean it. It's not that those gowns are un-nice. Maybe the colours are just not my cup of tea... haha... (oh man... am i using the right words?) Anyway, you know what I mean can liao la....

I tend to pick up little arguments with Brian these days. Arguing as to why he must go to that Timberland sale today. Arguing as to why he's so defensive over certain things.

To think of it, I think the problem's with me... Am I too stressed? I guess so. Come Monday, I may have 3 persons breathing down my neck. And for the last few weeks, I've been getting stressed over some other things.

Time to put up my pillow high up and think over what I've done and said and blah blah...

To those whom I have accidentally stepped on the 'tails', I'm sorry.

Been complaining and venting my frustrations. And yes, I feel so much better now. Thanks to those who ask me what happen and hear my 'story'. I will hang in there! Haha... This 'ship' will not sink that easily.... :P

Went for a wedding lunch on Sunday at The Regent. Ballroom looks pretty nice. But weirdly, no matter how my family and I counted the number of dishes we ate, we counted only 7 of them! Normally, it should be either a 8-course or 9-course Chinese lunch. Hmmm.... what happen??? Don't know! And we were only guessing after the whole event ended and we were on the car. Haha... Guess, human beings are always too engrossed with themselves to really notice what is happening.

I was engrossed with him!!!

Picture 200

Nice photo taken right??? If only he was smiling also.... hahaha

Picture 209

He is smiling!!! But the angle of the camera is 'sala'.

So cute!!! Makes me want to have one to myself also!!! Wahahahha

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

If I continue to 'neglect' this blog, people are going to 'neglect' visiting here as well. So, here I am.... :P

Alright, what's been happening? Hmm.....

Hey, no one's interested in that Furla bag? *Sob Sob*

Thought I can sell off this bag to get myself the new series of the LV wallet! The one with the little porter. Sooooo cute......

But anyway, no lah.... not buying anything these months. On a super tight budget!!

Busy days these days.... With my own life, with my love life, and yeah... sickening but true, with work as well...

Mahjong days are back! Haha... Almost every week, I'll be camping and 'pian-ing' food from Charis.. Haha... I'm a cheapo, cheapo.... But hor... I've not been really winning alot... soooo.... haiz. net everything off, i'm back to the square one. Thought I could bluff some food (*save dinner money*), win some money at the table and voila, I'm richer by that little bit. But guess... God is fair. You win some, you lose some.

Kinda pissed with work lately.... haiz....

Apparently, heard that someone resigned. Again.

I do not think I am at fault. Let's see...

On Thursday, I got a stack of documents at around 4pm. Gave to a VT (vacation training.. poor chaps from those polytechnics earning meagre wages for that few months... *those were the days....*) for keying into a Excel spreadsheet. He finished on Friday. And on Friday, came in another big stack which he could not finish. Even if he could have finished, I would not have finished checking.

And my "dearest" senior manager "scolded" me over the phone yesterday morning, saying why I did not tell her that she was not able to check yesterday (oh, by the way, she was on medical leave on Friday). And she went on to say, "I am very disappointed with you. Why didn't you inform me earlier that the documents didn't come in complete on Thursday? I thought I gave very clear instructions for you guys to finish by Thursday?"

"That client of ours did email on Thursday evening to say that documents will reach us on Friday evening" I replied. She went silent for a while. I guess, she did not check or see that part of that email. In my heart, I was thinking, "Must I inform you of all the emails that came in, and made sure you knew every single item so that you will not accuse me of not informing you?"

Then, came those "PMS" words... You people ah.... why can't you all take more initiative? I can't be doing everything for you all what.... If like that, I'll drop dead. I don't know la. I'll tell *director's name* that it will be late.

Spoiled my morning. Am I overreacting? You should hear her tone.

The point is that, does complaining to the management looks good on herself? Afterall, she is our 'boss'. Does that mean that she will put us to drown if anything happens?

If she had checked her mails, she would have known that things will come in late. And how could she simply accuse people of not doing their work (in this case, me!!!) when she doesn't even know what happened during the day she was not around? And did she ask if I follow up??? NO! She simply assumed that I sat on that item, without asking when I told her I did.

(Suddenly, i have this thinking... I think she can't be in the army. If she is given a rifle, everybody will die. Cos' she don't bother checking out who is the good people or bad people. She simply shoot.)

Talking about tone, I remembered a situation whereby she called a certain government agency's hotline and was pretty harsh with her words and seriously, none of us thought her tone sounded good. And guess what, she told the officer on the other end, "I don't think you are serious in helping me. If you are not happy serving me, please pass me to another person. Do you know that your tone sounded very bad". All these, in a very agitated manner and in a so-not-professional manner. The officer directly told her, "Then, do you think, your tone is very nice?". Bingo!! She 'bo-bian' got to soften. Later, she came to tell us that she had no choice but to soften down cos' she is asking for a favour. Oh come on...

Makes me kind of dread going to work sometimes these days... The job is fine, there are plenty to learn there, the colleagues (ermm... same level one hor...) are nice but... but.... if you have such a 'boss'? I do not know.

Seriously, I find no point being a 'workaholic' in such places. No reason for me to go all the way, no reason for me to work that hard.

Dreading to think of tomorrow. I think it will be a bad day.

Looking forward to weekends... and sad to say, Christmas is still 2 months away. That means, no holidays next month. Haiz.

My mood's the same as the hazy weather.... as hazy as the weather in Indonesia. Ha....

I finally found time to update! (No la, i'm just plain lazy to update my blog... hahah)

Back to reality... Back from my 7D trip in Taiwan. I didn't just go Taipei. I went around Taiwan... to some of their places of interests. And yes, with a tour group. In order to listen to some of the stories behind some of the places, and also because certain places are not so easily reached if you travelling free and easy.

A picture paints a thousand words.... so enjoy...

Me! With my dearie on SQ, early in the morning at 8.45 am. (Was telling him that we have conquered 'hai', 'lu', 'kong' aka sea, road and air together for this year. hahahah)

IMG_2671.JPG

At the airport before immigration.

009(桃園忠正國際机場.JPG

Our first stop, Taipei 101... But nothing to buy cos' they house mostly international brands such as LV, Dior etc. Sky's gloomy cos' of the forecast of a typhoon approaching... Luckily this typhoon bypass Taiwan (can't imagine the damage that will be done if it hits), thus the occassional gloomy skies and drizzles during the trip....

027(台北 101).JPG

New York New York!

020(紐約‧紐約).JPG

The Asia version of the "Statue of Liberty".

044(紐約‧紐約).JPG

Been awhile since I ate pig's blood.... Woohoo....

063(麻辣火锅).JPG

068(麻辣火锅).JPG

The following day at 野柳風景區. This is the "Queen's head" - the landmark of Yehliu. But if you were to go there in the next few years, it may be different or may even disappear as these rock formations experience weathering and erosion....

104(野柳風景區-女王頭).JPG

They have stories on some of the rock formations... Mostly about the "Eight Immortals"

123(野柳風景區).JPG

113(野柳風景區).JPG

Doesn't this look as if I', so near to the sky?

Jiufen - the location for filming the show "Sad City" - but hor.... I don't know what's about this show but I know it won Tony Leung some awards.

Due to the pitch of the hillside, the buildings do not block the view of another. Interesting.

153(九份).JPG

Brian's brother and I... Look at his face.. Machiam I force him for that photo.. hahha
136(九份).JPG

We ate alot of mushrooms during this trip. This is good!!! You can have the mushrooms grilled or fried. And their mushrooms are super big!!! Delicious!

149(九份).JPG

Taking one of their mode of transport in Taiwan - train.

A good 2 hour ride. Been sitting in coaches for long hours due to the distance between cities, towns. (We should feel glad here in SIN that from an end to another takes only 1 hour...)

163(宜蘭火車站).JPG

This is Taroko Gorge in Hualien.

188(太魯閣峽谷).JPG

203(太魯閣峽谷).JPG

205(太魯閣峽谷).JPG

The water from this little waterfall is supposed to help blood circulation and many others. Compared to this, what is our little Sembawang hotspring water? Don't ask me about the after-effects cos I only dip my legs in for a while. Can't expects miracles, right?

When you go with tour groups, they definitely bring you to places where you can buy their so-called best products - in this case, stuff such as jade, royal jelly, pearls, lingzhi etc.

At one of their shops, as usual, playing a fool as nothing attracts my eyes except for the different carvings:

Being dragged to participate in the dance of 1 of Taiwan's aboriginal group at the 阿美族原住民山地舞表演. (By the way, Taiwan's diva, Ah Mei doesn't belong to this group.)

At Sun Moon Lake in Taichung. This place is the biggest fresh water lake in Taiwan.

The "remains" of Lalu Island - part of it were submerged due to the major earthquake that happened years back.

363(日月潭遊-拉魯島).JPG

At one of the stops, this is the best tea-bag eggs I think I have eaten!!!

390(阿嬤香菇茶葉蛋).JPG

We even took a photo with the Ah Ma!!! Heard that she has been selling this for the past 30 years. And guess what, it's only 3 for S$1.00! Cheap!

389(阿嬤香菇茶葉蛋).JPG

See what they are holding!!!

392.JPG

Kind of gross right? It's an ash tray actually. Think the aboriginal group residing at this area used to (do they still do now?) think of "this" as god. Can't remember the story about it already.

We bought a pack of "檳榔" so as to take a photo with the pretty and sexy gal. Always hear about the little clothings these gals wear in order to attract customers to buy those 檳榔. And they are really only in their lingerie.

Wana see the photo? Email me.

422(檳榔).JPG

Actually, not all those selling 檳榔 will wear as such. Some wear normally.

At one of the night markets in Kaohsiung:

This is big right? Shiok! It's grilled cuttlefish.

433(中華夜市).JPG

432(中華夜市).JPG

Waiting for our bbq sticks...

435(中華夜市).JPG

Because of the protest against Ah Bian, we didn't manage to go CKS Memorial Hall and Ximenting. Sad. Watching the news everyday over as many as 99 channels, you can really see the clashes between the For and Against Ah Bian. For the first few days, the Against Ah Bian (all wearing Red) sits around the protest sites (which happens to be around CKS Memorial Hall / Ximenting). In the last few days when I was there, those wearing Green aka the For Ah Bian team started coming and that's when there were alot of clashes. Wearing either Red or Green at that time was pretty 'risky'.

While taking their cab in Taipei one night to go Shihlin Market, the cab driver so-called held Brian's collar and said, actually, I don't really like people wearing Red. But luckily, you are a foreigner. Phew....

This whole protest thing actually shows the level of freedom in speech and actions over there. Good? Maybe. Bad? Maybe. No right or wrong. A different view from each person's perspective.

But seriously, on a lighter note, to see what is being reported in the news about this happening makes me feel that I'm watching a drama.

Enough of political crap.

Back to Shihlin Market:

Me at Shihlin Night Market:

464(士林夜市).JPG

Guess what I'm eating? The famous chicken cutlet:

470(士林夜市).JPG

Their famous "Mian Mian Hua" aka "Chuan Bing"

477(士林夜市).JPG

Taking their "MRT".

485.JPG

486.JPG

Some of the stuff I ate during the trip...

This is interesting. It's actually fried bread with fillings. I suppose originally, the name wasn't supposed to be written in this way. It's supposed to have something to do with "Coffin". Thus the weird name. However, I think people prefer a more "prosperous" name.

488(士林夜市).JPG

This is not from the famous Ding Tai Feng. This is from Dian Shui Lou - heard that it's opened by a chef from Ding Tai Feng. Tastes the same to me. No difference to the ones we have in SIN.

455(點水樓-小籠包).JPG

Popiah with ice cream and peanut.

142(九份).JPG

I may be back again, but, only to Taipei for the food and shopping. Sports stuff there are generally cheaper and of a bigger variety. If you like Japanese fashion, then that's the cheaper alternative to get similar fashion stuff. And I wana go Ximending!!!!

Alright folks, sorry for the late updates. Been pretty busy with work these days. Till then, please take care!!!

Cheers!

I'm not sleeping yet....

It's 1.39am on my lappy and I'm still 'eyes big big'... Gosh... I slept like 3am on Saturday morning...... My biological clock is going crazyyyy.....

Talking about crazy, I'm crazy about the song "Brown Eyes" by Destiny Child....
It's playing right now in the background....


Remember the first day when I saw your face
Remember the first day when you smiled at me
You stepped to me and you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about
Remember the first day when you called my house
Remember the first day when you took me out
We had butterflies although we tried to hide
And we both had a beautiful night

The way we held each others hand
The way we talked the way we laughed
It felt so good to find true love

I knew right then and there you were the one

I think there is a Mandarin song that has a similar tune... but don't know what it's called. But I think the English version is sooooo nice........

Saturdays pass by so fast everytime. Maybe cos' of waking up late in the morning, Saturdays seem super short. I want longer Saturdays!!!!!!

Did you read the news lately?

Steve Irwin's dead. The Crocodile Man. The one who owned Australia zoo. To know more of him, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Irwin

I've only heard of him. Never been to the Australia zoo. And though I hate the animals, creatures that he deal with, I think he is someone amazing....

Though unexpected, but many guess that such happening will happen any time. Life's unpredictable these days. Traffic accidents, natural disaters happen every now and then. What's more to say, he is dealing and putting his life with at a greater risk than normal human beings.

Salute to him....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a happier note, I caught The Devil Wears Prada yesterday night. Woohoo.... Runway, here i come. As if. Very interesting show. For a good laugh, for some eye candies, for some envy.

Shoes, bags, clothes.... Prada, Calvin Klein, Fendi.....

I drool as I see how they dress up each day for work.... I guess it's every girl's dream to be in such a place to work. Seriously, do people in those places dress up every day to work in reality??? Hmmmm....... *Can my boss send me there to work????!!!!!!*

But it's not every girl's dream to work for that Devil. Haa.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's been in the news lately...

The demotion of Pluto?
Rising in the number of young couples marriage?
Rising in the number of the young contracting sexually transmitted diseases?
New terror attacks and foils?

Definitely no good news.

When will I ever see news about the economy being good?
When will I ever see that there is finally world peace?
When will I ever see news that are just good??????????

I hope i will live long enough to just read the news and smile cos' every piece of news is a good one.... is it that hard? is it that impossible? who knows....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a better and happier note, my life's been pretty good....

Adapting well at work. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll stay there for quite a while. Been learning alot. (And one of the skills is to have thicker skin... wahaha... oops!!)

Counting down again... this time to what? Make a guess........... :P

I'm a happy happy gal.....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P/S: I can't help not writing this....
Why can't some people just move on???? If YOU are reading my blog, then i'm talking about YOU. You chose a new path, so, simply follow it and not turn back. Why pin point at people? Why criticise or comment or judge when you jolly know that you are not in the position to do so? By saying that you don't want to think back and to remember what happen and yet talks about it, don't you think you are so contradicting? By the way, being what or who you are yesterday, today or tomorrow, then or now, is all you own actions. Don't blame or even try to push the blame to others when you can't even control your own actions. Grow up, gal.....
