  • Finally, I don’t have to be posted to kallang today. After 2 and a half weeks of knocking off at 8pm (unpaid OT!) My accounting and admin work at the main office is piled so high up that I could faint. Ever since I came into the office this morning, I’ve been trying to clear the stack. Now half the stack is done, another half more to go!

    I have so many back dated accounts shit to take care off. Argh. Damn accounting. :(

    And so, tomorrow is the first business network meeting with some working professionals at city hall. 7.30am in the morning, mind u! And that would mean I have to wake up at 6am tomorrow. Omgggg!! I just hope that I can get more contacts and establish more corporate networks through that meeting tomorrow. I need more orders so that I could earn more income through commission. I’ve got bills to pay!

    So, wish me luck! ;)

    On a side note, I don’t know what the hell is wrong with my eyes again. I have been laying off my contacts for the past week and when I tried it on again today, it turned red again! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?! :(

     

    Looks familiar?

    Back from Hiatus

    Back from a long hiatus! I've been very busy with work and other commitments for the few past months. I hardly have the strength to switch on my computer whenever I reach home by night. This image below would illustrate my life well. Just that for my case, you'll have to swap 'school' in the day to work, and 'work' in the night to school. (and ya, exclude 'internet' out of it.)


    I had the chance to play L4D2 last Saturday with the guys, after much anticipation. It exceeded my expectations from the game and I was very very much in love with the ‘parang’ in ‘The Parish’ campaign! I could not stop slashing zombies heads, arms and legs off! It beats pistols anytime man! Though my colleague could not understand the sadistic satisfaction I get from slashing zombies like that.

    But I would like you guys to believe that L4D2 allows me to let off some ‘steam’. It’s the only safe way to vent my anger and frustrations without putting anyone’s life in danger. Furthermore, if L4D did not come along, I would have went on a rampage during one of my ‘rage blackouts’ that I have sometimes. (Kidding.)

    And so I regretted choosing Nokia E71 over a Blackberry Bold :(  To think that I just got my E71 for slightly over a month. Dammit! I am hoping that my commission would be a big, FAT one in January, so that I can sell my E71 and get a BB finally.

    Christmas is coming and I realized that I have no plans for it yet. Initially I thought that the KC clique would be spending Christmas together. But it turns out that Sam is only going to be back in Sg for less than 2 weeks and she’ll be flying off to Australia after that. And Jiayi would not be back for Christmas this year. Crap. it seems like the older we grow, the harder it is to hang out as a group. Especially, with Jy, Sam and Tiff studying overseas, it’s double the times, harder :(

    Well, I can only wish that Christmas would be a peaceful one this year.

    P/S

    Santa, I’ve been a good girl for so long. Maybe you could grant me one tiny teeny weeny wish this Christmas? :(

    Wow. I haven’t written such a long post about my daily life in a long while. Hmm.

  • Samantha's 21st.

    Went for Samantha's 21st birthday dinner yesterday at Spruce. It was a rather secluded place, but the food and ambiance over there was fantastic. We had a lot of fun enjoying ourselves, with the galore of balloons, champagne, good food and cheesecake! It was definitely a night to remember (:

     























    P/S Dear Sam, we hope you love the gift we've got you!

    More than 100+ pictures taken, the rest would be posted up on my Facebook page.

    The Game of Make-Believe

    When we were kids we used to dream; pretend; make believe tales. Sometimes it's about how the tooth fairy would come to drop a dollar coin under your pillow for every tooth you left behind. You'd scream and shout to the world that you've become the richest person alive because of that dollar coin.

    Sometimes, you would play in tents made of blankets and a fortress out of pillows, climbing in and out as if you had your own property (Oh wait, you did.) Other times, it's about how you'd play hide and seek in/with the curtains. you'd think to yourself, 'i'm here! i'm here!' everytime someone walks by you saying, 'i wonder where eileen is.'

    This silent screaming for attention is followed with indulgence and self-flattery; 'hahaha.. i'm the best hide and seek player ever!' and you give up after 2 minutes, popping out of the curtain, watching everyone be astounded at how well a hider you are, and you simply laugh at everyone who was caught - everyone but you.

    You were five.

    How about that time you you danced with prince charming from sleeping beauty and was whisked away by cinderella's white gorgeous prince?

    No prince? No big deal. Sleeping beauty did sing, "someday my prince will come..." or was it cinderella? snow white? er.. you get the drift. (:

    Other make believe tales were those that involved wings that humans just naturally/humanly do not have. But who's to say you can't fly without wings? There was this once, you flew away to neverland with peter pan and the lost boys.

    No? If not that one, it'll be you with superman or being superman in his red coat or batman in his black leather outfit. 'no superhero can be without a cape' you'd say. So you'd steal away the blankets from the laundry heap, hold it between those small hands of yours, and run from one end of the house to another just to watch the wind catch the make believe superhero cape.

    That was the thrill of the century.

    Sometimes, just sometimes, fairy tales do come true.
    Who's to deny you that anyway? it's all in your head. ain't life marvellous?

    Yes, the game of make-believe is a simple one.
    You start by lying to yourself, and if you can get others to believe those lies, you win.

    The Illusion Of Happiness

    The most important thing is the illusion of happiness.
    The illusion keeps people safe and let’s be honest.
    Nobody really likes to question anything.
    The human condition is the pursuit of comfort.
    We run from truth and leech on comfort to keep things appealing.

    Some people love to be drunk,
    but hate to be hung over.

    Some people love to be in love,
    but hate to be broken.

    So they don’t look at the possibility of a negative reality.
    They just accept what is there (or make up what’s there) and only look towards warmth, even if the heat is synthetic.
    That’s what we’re trained to do.

    So we all do it without question.
