penis size
career
height

so why'd ya fill my sorrow

with the words you borrow

from the only place that you've known

and why'd ya sing hallelujah

if it means nothin’ to ya

why'd ya sing with me at all?

PR is only starting PRINCIPLE

I had a bad day at work. Like they say, work is not hard. It's the people that is the tricky part.

Today one of the tenants abused me verbally at a table of drinking colleagues and working partners. I swallowed it, even though i was not at fault at all. I know what they say about face, and respect. I gave it. Yet i was still accused of being egoistic. I thought only egoistic people demanded face to fill their soul.

And then I was threatened of my career. The thing i probably cared the most at this point of my life. Maybe I am too idealistic, go by the book they may say. But I am just going by my principles, and I think it will take me further than licking someone's toes. If my promotion depended on going against my principles, then my bosses don't deserve me.

PR is only starting the long string of alphabets that spell PRINCIPLE. I may be just be a junior grade employee, but my integrity will bring me further than free drinks. Nuff said.

Samantha: Honey, you look back so much you should have a relationship rearview mirror.

Miranda: Relationships may appear closer than they actually are.

After a tiring day, I've decided to join Kelvin to go to his friend's cafe at Jurong. He took a cab down from his place and picked me up at Clarke Quay before heading there together.

Only when i arrived at the cafe, ordered 2 beers, 2 pastas and ate 3 mouthfuls did i realise i left the laptop on the cab!!! How careless is it!

I panicked! but recalled that Kelvin paid by nets!! He could have paid by cash, which he had on hand, but I don't know why he paid by nets. Anyhow, with that, I've got the taxi's car plate number on the receipt. (And he could have thrown away the receipt) Called immediately and the uncle, Mr. Teo, who was already with another passenger found it at the back seat. I'm lucky like shit ok! It's the company laptop, not only would i have to pay for the losses, the important documents would be lost!

I'm glad i found the laptop, otherwise i wouldn't be having such a good time relaxing on a Friday night. 2 beers is just nice, after the hectic week of preparing for the big VIP and Media Night on 28th. Hey, go get I-S magazine this week. We're on the cover! =)

The part about paying by nets and having the receipt... i can't help by think that it's just damn lucky!

just got back to the office after Sex and The City party at Barfly.

Each invitee is to choose a card with a unique quote from Sex and the City, and this will serve as their lucky draw identification, instead of the usual number calling system.

My quote was

Can you get to a future if your past is present?
- Carrie Bradshaw "The Perfect Present" Sex and the City Season 6

I'm tipsy, but is my way of interpreting the same as yours?

Champagne is supposed to make one happy right?

From the Witch of Portobello, there are 4 classic archetypes of woman

The virgin searches springs in her complete independence, everything that she learns is the fruits from her ability to face challenges alone
The martyr finds her way to self knowledge through pain, surrender and suffering
the saint finds her true reason for living in unconditional love and her ability to give without expecting return
the witch justifies her existence by going in search of complete and limitless pleasure.

usually, a woman would be one of the above, but some can be all at the same time.

Especially in the context of romantic love, i think i'm all.

I may never love again, or you can say.. I will never fall out of love.

They mean the same.

What is Love?

Love simply is.

Just finished the book The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho. Amazing. Even more amazing is I managed to squeeze time out of each busy day to read.

Mosaic class has been postponed till next Saturday as Nanette, the instructor just relocated, so she's still settling down. I have got lots on the "to learn" list:

Scrapbooking
Deejaying
Drums
Maybe Tennis - because it's more physical than the rest and at looking at the state now where i pant even when climbing stairs, maybe i can start with lighter sports.

Been ultra busy with the Clarke Quay "The Art of Revelry" planning. It's a month long celebration from 28 May - 22 June. Look out for more details!

embarking on my mosaic project since 12 Apr.

Eventually, i chose the epi-lasik over lasik. which is a less invasive thus less risk and complications BUT more ex, longer recovery and painful.

Reason for this choice is due to my sensitive eyes and nose, i'm afraid if it's more invasive then later kena complications.

And guess what.. 2 days after i kena flu. I can curse and swear at my bad luck but what can I do. Recovery is slowed down and I was feeling super weak. Can't breathe, can't see. Totally feel useless. And body is like shutting down.

Now, 1 week and 3 days later, my vision is better but still abit blur. Images are not crisp yet although i can see things that are very far. Nose is still blocked and the sinus area is actually painful because of clogged up mucus.. euwww...

Been trying to hasten the recovery by whacking alot of Vitamin C and drinking the Brands "InnerShine Berry essence" - supposedly good for eyes. But i think the antibiotics cancelled any goodness i try to install into the system. I'm not sure if my theory is right but I'm proven the attempts were fruitless.

Anyway, work life resumed after reporting back to work on Wed with a bloody flu. Saturday, I met up with Jolene who has become an SIA stewardess for almost a year, and had some cake. I'm going to play some MJ with Wee Jee and Carrie later. So, social life resumes amidst endless coughs and non-stop artificial tears dropping.

Ok la.. as the Dr. Julian Theng has advised, the satisfaction with epi-lasik will not be instantaneous, so I will try to patient! Short term pain, long term gain!

my proud possessions - eyes

doing LASIK on 27 Mar, which is.. later!

Well, i will be doing the assessment on the same day and only if suitable will i continue with the surgery at 2pm. I am abit scared.. I think I haven't done enough research and given the pros and cons, i still can't decide which technique i should go with.

Well, i'll see what the doc recommends after assessing my eyes' condition. I have been diligently wearing specs for about a month.. pls.. let me get rid of them. forever.

how do i lose fats from the face?

Saturday, March 01, 2008

Going to get my new bag today. Do you like it?

Monday, February 25, 2008

Yes, I admit that the learning curve right now has not been very steep, due to more external reasons than those that i can control. What adds is that I'm handling the almost impossible missions - LUNCH in a venue which is known for its nightlife and RETAIL in a predominantly F&B precinct.

I am of course happy that I am IC for these projects, because if it really takes off, the credit will be tremendous but the encouragement right now is really depressing. I'm not just selling "beer space" like Celia says. I'm not selling products which demand is a known and definite. I've got to sell ideas, sell potential. It's not a shade of color I'm selling, it's not even a lifestyle. (nowadays everyone is selling a lifestyle)

How do I convince people that lunching at CQ is as enjoyable without the happening crowd, the beautiful changing lights, the hype, the music. How do I convince others when they think that shopping is incidental in this camp of restaurants and entertainment outlets. It's a lot of perception changing I need to do.

Which is why I'm reading "The Art of Woo" right now. I can do it, i can do it!

Ok big confession. Maybe i could put this on an anonymous postcard and send to postsecret.com

I went for slimming today.

You heard me right.

Slimming.

Act fat or not, I went for slimming. And i felt worse after that. I am getting obsessive about certain things and I don't know what it means. I haven't heard a sincere compliment for too long. I am losing my self confidence. I feel it.

you may be the kind who can work with anyone.

but i can't work with you

feng shui

Accompanied Alice to a Feng Shui store during lunch on Thursday. Took a free booklet that tells of your luck for the coming year. As i know most of my friends are born in the yr of rat, i'll just share some information on what's gonna happen to us this year.

Wealth:
Traditional methods of investing and savings will mulitply your wealth for many years to come. Risky gambling or careless spending will only derail your hard work. (This is like how generic la. I can say that too! But we're gonna play Mahjong today hor, my friends!)

Career & Business
Your high expectations in quality and speed at work put pressue on colleagues & business associates.

Health: Stress and long hours drain your energy. Be extra vigilant against physical injuries from cuts, falls and accidents. (oh! workplace safety! My work area is so bloody crowded with safes, files and nonsense that I keep knocking and falling and getting bruises!)

Relations & Romance
Rats in relationship or marriage should cut down on social outings and concentrate to build up the family. (No mention of singles. i guess the single rats will just be more lonely as the other rats have been advised to go mating all the time and neglect their friends. DAMN)

The leasing department went to Middle Road on Friday to pray for good luck as they believe that things hasn't been as smooth as they wished the last year. I followed in their car cos I needed to have lunch company. So i shopped at the stores near the temple with Jo-Anne. I bought a little ornament that is said to be good for rats, so did Jo-Anne and we bought one for Janicia too. So everyone in our department has one. Hehe... it's Feng Shui.

Can you believe it? Jo-Anne's zodiac is ox and her "best friend" should be rats. Rats will bring her prosperity... WAHAHA.

Anyway, went to Suen's place to play MJ and poker on Friday night. I'm starting to like poker and understand why this is such an addictive game. Too bad Melvyn has to go back early so he can go the museum early in the morning, otherwise we could play more.

Ok, i'm going to do some exercise. Borrowed suen's weighing machine and i'm slightly past 50kg. *gasps*

NYE Countdown through the music lanes

preparing for this major event is not easy, especially when this is the first event which Angeline is not around anymore. Was very afraid that i would miss out a certain detail and screw up the entire thing.

During the day, I was running around with the part-timers, planting notices for shuttle bus services, transporting the goodie bags, ensuring the stall vendors turn up, and that the VIP area is properly set-up.

at around 9, i changed into a dress, put on some make up after consuming a packet of curry rice which was totally awful. I remember eating it like it was just something to fill my stomach; at that time, my stomach was full of butterflies, I really couldnt take more.

And then time passed really fast. First it was Latin Lane, then Soul, then Hip Hop, World, Pop and before I knew it, it was 5,4,3,2,1 amidst the magician impressing us at the VIP area. I finally could drown myself in Heineken, and I tried but it didnt last long. The team jumped up and down, danced, hugged and wished one another Happy New Year.

Before I knew it, I was doing traffic control. People were cutting queue at the taxi stand, and I had to take the loudhailer to inform the people that there is a free shuttle bus service.

At 3 plus, i finally left to Pan Pac to join my dearest friends! Only then did i feel like a proper celebration. Although I really just went there for shower and bed. :X "made new friends" - Joshua & Nicholas although I don't remember saying more than 3 sentences to each of them cos I was so tired I only hid in one corner of the bed.

The morning after, Celia, Jasmine, Fiona, Ben. Eugene, Aaron, Joshua, Nicholas and I went to PS Cafe at Dempsey for brunch. Was a nice new year morning. Really felt so fresh and happy. Mahjong & X Box later at Eugene's place.

New year resolution?
To quit all if not most bad habits, and of course, Work Life Balance.

10 days into the New Year, I say I'm doing not bad. You?
