The early sound of the christmas bell!

I had a chat with a friend far away last night and I'm quite surprised to hear that so much have changed after I left Belgium almost 6 months ago. I promised I'll keep it a secret so I won't share it but I'm just so proud of her action toward this issue. And I certainly hope that my listening ear was useful.

Anyways the christmas bells rang super early in the office! We had our "Decorate our lorong competition" judgement today! And I'm pleased to inform you that our lane was the best looking one! All the efforts and teamwork for today was worth it! The judges like the doves and were quite fascinated by it.

They said we're the one declaring war! I say we're encouraging all of them!

But it doesn't matter who really wins at the end of the day, it's the process that matters the most and bond us together. It was great to see all the rows trying hard to outshine each other if not our ordinary fish tank would not be liven up with the christmas atmosphere.

And you think that's all? Definitely not. We had generous prizes from the few Team heads and bosses for the winners. Not just that! We had lucky draw for 3 person. 3rd prize was $100 capitaland vouchers and $170 for 2nd prize.

First prize. I shall conclude that you guys didn't get high pay for nothing! =) An itouch!

Funny thing is that our colleague, Lucy, was supposed to get it. But she was on block leave. I can imagine... If she ever found out or heard about it, I think she's jumping high and low somewhere in New Zealand! Probably crying! Evil. I know! hahaha...

And we can close this competition by singing "We have joy. We had fun!". 

 Self - made photo frame! Thumbs up for Patricia!

 "Villagers" from lorong 5!

Always forgetting the slippers!

 My gossiping group in office! Who keeps secrets just between ourselves!

Ah ying, My other half in the office.

Ah bu neinei Santa!

Alright! Good night peeps! Hope Christmas would be fun for you this year!

Bad and a couple of good

It's been quite awhile since I updated a proper entry. I just couldn't.

Last week till this wed was some tough time for me. I had TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder ) and the jaw pain was killing me. It affected my hearing and somehow my concentration for almost everything. Even opening my mouth for a normal bread was tough, it had to be in small bites and am already a very slow eater. It was fatigue to even chew, what's more about talking. And I couldn't laugh like how I usually did.

You must be wondering what took me so long to see a doc. I had jaw pains before lasting for 1-2 days but this time was really bad. Till I had to go see one which gave me nothing but medicine for fever/pain/headache. Of cause I wasn't convinced! He even laughed at me when I rejected the MC! No more intern doctors anymore I swear! So the next day, I went back to my usual doctor and I have to complete my whole course of medication for 2 weeks to bring down the inflammation. It was quite funny when he said I had to rest my jaw which was tough. I had to go for soft food, no laughing with mouth wide open and try not to talk so much.

Well it's the 3rd day of medication, am able to open my mouth slightly bigger but I can feel it's still weak.

On a happy note, my boss brought me delightful news on wed morning. I might be heading to Belgium again for 2 weeks. It's not really confirm yet, depending if they can find anyone over there to help out. It would be lovely if I can go. Of cause the business class experience once again and first winter and snow experience after 24 years of life. :)

Not forgetting the much slower pace of life. I really wanted a break so this would be good if I can go. My bosses are really worried about me since I have quite a weak health. Or maybe a nicer term which they used. Delicate body. Winter is gonna be pretty tough for someone who can't withstand the coldness in office. But I'll make full use of my winter allowance.

I have my worries about this trip if I can go. Till then I'll update you 'cause it's quite silly.

Anyways I had lunch with my Amsterdam colleague who came here for a project. Brought her to have some beef noodles and she likes it. But I hope she really does. We had a really good chat and find somethings in common! Besides I've learn something! Buy some good cloth from Arab street and get a photo of your favourite dress, bring it to the tailor. And wala! You'll have your favourite look alike designer's dress at a dirt cheap price! Can u believe it! She's telling me where to get stuff in Singapore! I'm not disgrace by it 'cause most Singaporeans don't do that. Maybe I should start digging up my old magazines and cut out pictures soon! =)

X'mas is pretty much round the corner and everybody is busying doing X'mas shopping and putting up decorations. My workplace is definitely not giving a miss to join in the fun as well. We have this "Decorate your Lorong competition". Most of them have started putting up and some even completed! But my row has yet to start. We have the idea in our heads and since everyone's decorations are in red and gold. I thought maybe we could go for a dazzling white x'mas instead and a snowman! I just love X'mas! It's all about giving and sharing!

I did some X'mas shopping yesterday though it wasn't so sucessful. But I manage to buy a new pair of red heels! =)

Now I can throw away the old one!

Tick Tick Tick.... It's friday!

The last and only time that I hope weekend would pass fast was when I were all alone in Belgium for 1 month. I still remember. There were too many weekends and too many long hours to go by.

But today, I'm hoping Sunday come quick for the bf's return from KL.

I don't know but it's kind of strange to not have him around me, I feel that half of me is missing.

Okay so I do miss him. I'm glad. I was still doubting myself this morning.

Anyways it's friday and I'm still in the office feeling starved! Had a really early lunch.

Nothing special tonight just heading to my cousin's place to babysit my niece and nephew. But I think it's fun enough.

I guess this week will be packing my stuff and clearing some old stuff to get the re-vamp starting.

Alright! Have a nice weekend!

Apart

The bf will be heading to KL over the weekend. Yes sadly without me. Leaving me all alone in this small miserable island.

Gonna miss him and spend weekend without him. Kind of not used to it. But maybe I can meet some friends or get down to some laundry business. Way too many clothes piling up.

Anyhow it's Friday. Hope your weekend would be good.

The new chapter

Sometime last week I had lunch with some friends. I've knew them at my current workplace 4 years back and both guys had left for better opportunity outside, leaving only Weishan and I strangling with our decisions. They have heard us bringing up the word "resign" many times but we're still here.

But this is not the only thing that they have caught up with. Marriage is. Dean's having his wedding next march. Jossie, on the other hand, is already married and becoming a father soon!

And here comes the question. "So! When's yours?"

It's strange 'cause my mum has not push me on this yet. In fact not in my family. My uncles and aunties got married late. My cousins as well. And I'm only 24 years old. Some may think it's time but not to me.

5 years more. At least that's the earliest. There are just too many things that are more important on my list and marriage is not in sight yet. But I'm definitely settling down, just not now.

And so it was 2 against 2. 2 guys who thinks that 26 is the time to get married against one girl that thinks 28 and above is the right time and the other who thinks marriage is not necessary. Am I missing something here? Are things changing too fast? From then till now. Have  females taken the place of males?

Then I dropped a question. "Is there a difference being a married couple and dating couple?"

2 nods was what I got from the 2 man in front of me. Dating means you don't have to see that someone every single day. But marriage is seeing that person everyday. Getting used to his/her habits. And losing your own free time.

Hello! Who's logic is that? 

But I thought it was not. Maybe I stay over pretty often that we know each other living habits so well. Of 'cause we do. He finds me so lazy that sometimes he just can't stand it either. He's so neat and organised but too naggy sometimes.

But didn't you guys proposed because you love her and I'm sure you said this when you're on your knees.

"... and spend the rest of my life with you."

Ladies, you said yes almost immediately.

So why is it different. You love that person so much that you should be happy to see the person you love everyday. Sharing every moment or event that had happen for the day. It's about putting in effort to maintain a relationship. A marriage. Balancing between family and friends.

Communication is necessary in all relationships whether it's with friends,family or partners. You need to talk to solves issues. That's something I like about him, we always talk. Happy and unhappy. At least we know what each of us is thinking. Relationship is not a guessing game or stressful task. Relationships makes you breathe easy. It's sweet. Oh but sometimes sour or bitter.

I don't know what it's gonna be like 5 years later. Whether either of us will change and whether the bond and love between us will still be that strong. But I can say we're both putting in effort in this relationship effortlessly.

Well, I guess it's all about making the right choice before you enter the next chapter of life. Marriage it's sacred. There's no time for regrets once you step in. Carry on and make things work out.

Things I want in my wardrobe!

Recently, I've been thinking of giving my wardrobe a new look! That is to give or sell away my old stuff and make way for the new. It took me quite a long time to realise the old has to go for the new. 'Cause I'm running out of space!

Was talking to Emilie on MSN and by accident I found a flea market kaki! So I've gotta start packing and see what I wanna get rid of. Spring cleaning is always unsuccessful 'cause I can't bear to.

Anyways these are some of new members I wanna add to the family!

There are 3 colours, not sure which one to get.

Laptop Citybag

 The thing I really need now are boots! Love these!

Finally! new haircut and colour after 2.5 mths.

Before I headed down, I thought if I couldn't cut at least colour. It was in need of some touch up!

But now that I've got both, am a happy bitch!! I love the new look and colour. I think tml will be a happy day at work. :)

Sometimes I hope my mum kept her old clothes!

If you're looking for a rich husband...

MINDBLOWING THOUGHT PROCESS!!!


A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?

I wanted to ask:

what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York CityGarden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1. Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)

2. Which age group should I target?

3. Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.

4. How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? My target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

Awesome reply:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours.

Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.

However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".

Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me...

He has a point! So! Don't be such a bimbo and get back to reality!

Hate me...

Yes. I hate me. Hate myself for doing this.

It's been 3 weeks. I've been a bad girl but I can't help it. Really.

It hurts badly to do that but my feet bring me the other way round. All the time. She's upset and I'm the cause for it. What has the little girl in her heart become?

To me. A monster.
To her. Am always the little girl to her that she always love.

It can't stop twitching.

My left eye has been twitching constantly since Saturday.

I don't like moments when either of my eyes just kept twitching from time to time. To others, superstition sets in.

"Hey, left eye twitching is a good sign!".

 Got a little curious and google it.

Have I mention how much I love "Google". "Google Lee".That's what Ailing, my colleague, calls me.

Anyhow here's what I got. It's quite interesting to know the eye twitching means differently to different culture.

Left Eye Twitching - What Does It Mean

Left Eye Twitching Superstition - China: An old Chinese saying about twitching eyelids says that "the twitching of the left eyelid indicates the coming of good fortune; while the right one is a warning about the coming bad luck." So while a twitch in the left eye indicates good luck or even a major gold rush, a twitching right eye is considered a bad omen which foretells of ill luck headed your way! In women the tables are turned as a twitching right eye signifies good luck while a twitching left one is considered a bad prognostic. Similarly, there are many assumptions of eyelid twitching causes and superstitions where a twitch in the lower left eyelid means you can expect to cry soon or someone is gossiping about you.

Left Eye Twitching Superstition - India: The Indian left eye twitching superstition is the reverse of the Chinese version. So in India a twitching right eye is definitely a good sign while the left eye twitching is considered inauspicious. At times, eye twitching can also be based on the gender as well, so while left eye twitching is considered good for women it might be a bad sign for men.

Left Eye Twitching Superstition - Parts of Africa: In certain parts of Africa, twitching in your lower eyelid signals that you will soon be shedding tears or when the upper eyelid twitches, it’s a sign you will meet someone unexpectedly. The Nigerians also follow the Chinese version of the left eye twitching being considered as bad.

Left Eye Twitching Superstition - Hawaii: In Hawaii twitching eyes can signal the arrival of a stranger, or a mourning in the offing.

In addition to these faith and beliefs, there are some other versions of the left eye twitching superstition where a constant twinging of your left eye might signal a demise in the family or the twitching of the right may signal an impending birth.

However scientifically.

Eye twitches can also be caused by certain conditions such as stress, air pollution, strained eyes or fatigue. If it is an extreme condition you need to consult a doctor who might prescribe oral medications or certain eye drops. In an extreme case, myectomy or surgery for treating blinking eyes may have to be performed to cure the excessive twitching of the eyes. However, general twitching in the eyes can be cured with plenty of rest and cutting down on certain things like smoking, caffeine or alcohol. To know more about how to cure eye twitches read more on eye twitch remedies. So the next time your left eye twitches and you worry about a catastrophe befalling you, just stay calm and hope for the best.

Whether it's a good/bad sign, I very much believe that the cause of my left eye twitching is definitely scientific.

memories...

Was rummaging through the bf's hard disk and found some photos.

I used to dislike taking photos thinking that it's such a hassle, it's tiring to keep smiling in front of the camera. I still do even now but I've learn to appreciate it more now.

"A picture is worth a thousand words". It's even said.

Photos & pictures allow us to remember and reminisce the events that brings us joy and laughter. Reminisce is the word. Not just remembering but recalling the past. One can't deny the power of photos. I can't, can you?

Sometimes you just can't remember one of the many events that had happen in your life. I was browsing through folder. And it's amazing that just by looking at the photos, I seem to return to that very day.

The rascal turns 1...

I have to share these photos 'cause these 2 kids of my cousin are just too adorable. It's so much fun being with them.

We celebrated Caleb's 1st day and this calls for a family gathering. Had so much fun laughing. This boy sures enjoy food. It was so difficult to keep his hands away from the cake and they just kept feeding him with bits of cakes to get this attention diverted.

Heading to the pool.

 All dressed up for the party. Am I more handsome or Beckham?

First drumstick from his grandma, my aunt.

Tasting in progress....

hmmmm.....

 And Absolutely loving it!

 The sister and brother. How did she even think of having her hands over the brother's shoulder. =)

 Love this photo of the bf and my niece.



If you dreamt of death...

Does it brings you fear?

Not too long ago I dreamt that I was dying. It was strange.

I was given time to see all the people that was important in my life and say my good-byes. Then I rec'd a call from the hospital requesting me to report for death. I got pretty agitated (as always when people rush me).

I woke up feeling strange and thought it was quite funny. Was surfing the net and this was how they interpretated it.

Looking long

what I wore to work today. Forgot the shoes. Tryin to see if the necklaces matches. Tot it was too big. Changed to a smaller one.

And off to work. Late!
