Crazy fatso

Yeah Blog. I know i'm kind of nuts. To switch on my poor com. just to blog again. But well, 1. I'm pretty much awake
2. I'm waiting for my hair to dry (the last time I slept with wet hair I woke up with an itchy scalp) 3. I've got things to day...so here I am once again.

It's getting addictive. This whole blogging business. And my thoughts are so haphazard lately I can't seem to pen them all down in one entry properly.

I saw some of the pain and struggles a few of my friends are going through in love. Then I decided, it might be good that I'm so ugly and unattractive.

At least I won't be heart-broken in a long long time to come.

That'll be good. Though it does bad things to my inferiority at times I admit.

For eg, I REALLY resented the fact that I had to dress nicely to present the prizes to the Guest of Honour. Yeah...speaking of which, the prizes are not done yet but what the heck.

Cos' 1. I'm seriously so out of shape I grew out of alot of my clothes so I hardly have any formal wear.

2. I don't look good anyways in most of the stuff I wear so why make me go through it?

Still I'll have to do it on Sunday though I highly suspect i'll look like a piece of shit then.

Not just because I'm fat. But also because I'll be seriously deprieved of sleep by then.

Actually I really ought to / have slept long ago cos' Sat I'll be camping over in the open with the Urban Escape people...in preparation for the event on Sunday.

Sucks. I know sleep can't be that good cos' we're sleeping under a huge TENTAGE, on ground sheets...subjected to rain and winds.

Sucks.

I dun wanna think.

Anyone would have imagined that I would hate the computer.

Seriously, at about 4pm my eyes did fog up...think I was staring too hard and too long at the screen...we work in front of the com. every single day! Maybe not exactly "WORK" the whole time..(still got msn, blog etc.) But well...it's not good for the eyes.

Still. I'm back here again. After work went straight to town for Script writing meeting. I was so HIGH I was behaving quite histerically. After a struggle and lots of funny ideas...the meeting finally ended and off to Holland V i went to meet up with my st nicks' friends.

Wow...Wala Wala was PACKED. It was lucky we managed to get a table at the corner plus some seats. Apparently 3 guys gave them up and well, we stood around and chit-chat abit though I felt really pretty weird initially. Threw dagger shots at Joyce cos' I thought she brought her colleagues along without telling me! Bwahaha...turned out they were complete "strangers". We sat around, "screamed" at each other, drank abit...and well...just hung around listening to good music! =) It was ok lah...though it was really quite suffocating and I was SO afraid that my throat would die.

It survived somehow I guess...Snowball is a pretty nice drink! =) Very Sweet! Can't really feel the alcohol though...and well, I was secretly eating a Kaya bread there cos' I was so afraid I'll get drunk or red.

In the end, we hang around quite abit...and on the way home, we suddenly decided that we wanted supper.

OMG...I was so NOT hungry. But I didn't want to be spoilspot and be the only one to go home...and most importantly, I never got the chance to eat supper near my place! So i really kind of wanted to go.

Ended up steal Joyce's century egg congee! It was not bad at all! Pretty nice in fact, not too oily, not too salty! Just right.

Ate abit of the fried frog too! My first attempt! But didn't dare to eat much cos' scared will get sore throat. Really scared. Would hate to be sick.

So now here I am...sitting in front of the com. Stinky and REALLY full.

I dunno what I'm doing leh really. almost ALL girls I've known are slimmer and aka looking alot prettier esp. after Sec and JC days.

I'm like the only one who has put on weight!

ANd i'm SO not watching it! That's the worst part!

I unbuckled my pants once I got home and the worst I feared had happened. One of the hooks came off. It was loose already...but the threads finally gave way...after all the calories that I've forced into my tummy I guess.

Shuhui ah shuhui...come to your senses quick! Diet, eat less exercise more!

U're only 21 once. Once it's over. That's it. No more chance to be pretty already.

What's wrong with me ah?

By the way Cui, if by any chance you've read this...no worries! I'm not putting the blame of the supper on anyone except for myself. I mean...I could have fought off the temptation...but I was REALLY tempted.

Sigh.

Lunch

I felt quite sad cos' I was having lunch alone yesterday. Though the Lemon and Butter Fish in Engine canteen is really not bad!

When I first saw the price, $2.20. I stopped and asked myself if it's JUST for the fish without anything!??! Hahaha...cos' there are side orders for 50cents! Luckily I didn't add...cos' it came with alot of fries and my fav baked beans!

Today...haha...Z asked me to join a few of them for lunch in the meeting room! I da baoed fish soup noodles for my boss and I...it was quite enjoyable to be just sitting with them listening to them talk about celebrity scandals etc...haha...

Yeah..finally...I might just be starting to blend in! =)

And Z finally made it plain that it's really quite slack in this office. Hahaha...people go for lunch at about 12 something but only come back before 2pm...heh heh...i like my job....

Heh

Think I should be working on my brochure already. Cos' it's such a rare opportunity that I've nothing on hand now.

But heh...I'm "listening" to TV once again. Bwahaha...yesterday I was listening to the Tv cos' 1. the tv lags. 2. I dun wanna get caught watching tv...bwahaha...so i listen loh! not bad...trains the imagination! hahaha

Okie...shall start on my work soon.

Oh yeah! Last Sat, when my colleagues and i were just chit-chatting, one of them suddenly stopped and said I Actually looked like "Gong Li". It's my eyes. I think perhaps it's cos' i've got the "cheena" look. But well...I took that as a compliment! She's afterall an international celebrity!

And yesterday, after I put on my contacts, Z told me that I should keep it on cos' i really look very different with / without my specs.

SIgh...what is it about beauty? I think it's about feeling good...maybe.

Job satisfaction

I was praised by my boss 2 about my translation abilities.

She said I was efficient and good.

Made me so happy! =)

This morning though she kind of cautioned me on my dressing. Guess I can't be wearing jeans and t-shirts and slippers blatantly for a while...

But well, she affirmed my abilities by telling me that they might continue to get me to translate stuff for them even after my work stint here.

Well...I just hope I'll get paid...;P

Getting a sore throat from fries and durian. Sucks. But the stars are pretty tonight!

Bwahaha...like my msn nick...so decide to put it up here.

Blog later. ;P

Haha...

I was going to blog with this manager came to look for me. Hope he didn't see anything.

well even if he did...too bad lah.

Hahaha...it's 17:45..I could have knocked off 15 mins ago but i decided to stay behind, drink tea and blog. Got a meetin later at 18:30 anyways.

Anyways my sup sped off AGAIN so I'm left alone. So long as i note my hours down...I think should get paid lah.

haha...I need the money. Esp..after my sup, who's Zoe by the way, just decided that we're gonna splurge $150 on a concert ticket to see zai zai and alot others.

Yes. I think I'm mad.
No doubt about that.

bwahahaha....

I finally set up my laptop today! Yeah...feels great to have fast connection once again! But can't download too many things! Reason being laptop has too little memory space! Shall be on a mission to free up space! Ate dumpling noodles once again but the noodles are weird! It's like Spaghetti! Haha...and the chilli was SO hot it made my lips bloated! But I managed to watch half an hr's tv on webcast today! Haha...

Today's supposed to b a slack day cos' my boss not ard! My sup came late and left early! I felt so "xin li bu ping hen"! Cos I came in early and left late!

Actually though I was as usual checking my mails n chatting on Msn...but I was really getting quite stressed! Cos' i can't seem to meet deadlines! Admin work coming in every single day...I dun have time to start on my research...supposed to have something concrete by mid June..which is like...NOW?!?!

Arrgh.

Stressed.

Tmr will be bringing this Australian on a NUS campus tour. I'm not sure if i'm up to it!
Stressed.

Perhaps I should have made better use of my time to learn more about NUS, Singapore and China, rather than I dunno...read up on Europe on the Lonely Planet?
Arrgh.

Sigh

Seems like a million yrs since I've blogged. I mean. I know I blogged alot in the office yesterday. But there's so much I wanna say still! If i can still remember!

Watched Harry Potter on Sun with my mum n bro at Plaza Sing. The movie wasn't great. I checked my watch for the time and not even an hr has passed. The starting was THAT slow. It's a good thing I haven't read the book I think. Else would prob haf been MORE disappointed. But I liked it overall! Wasn't as "dark" as I thought it would be...and most importantly...

I think Harry is cute!

Despite all that was said...i still think he looks good.

Dinner was settled at Lao Beijing! I'm glad I brought my mum there! The popiah was interesting cos' it's DIY! the simple dish of Zha Jiang Mian was superb and I really liked the Xiao Long Bao! All that plus the junk we ate during the movie...wow...I was REALLY full! The bill was rather shocking though. I mean, never expected it to be cheap...but felt quite incredulous cos' the jug of herbal tea was $9! Costs more than the bowl of noodles or the xiao long baos! Haha

Took a long walk in Orchard after that. Wanted to go Far East to pick up my water bottle. Found out that the shops in Singapore really close quite early!

That's all for Sun. I guess.

Eat Ang Gu Kueh and recalling my bizarre dream

Last night I dunno if I was too disturbed or tired or it's PMS again. But I was slightly depressed.

Felt so fat I thought I was at least 5 mths pregnant. But no, that's not my dream is about.

I think I've been watching too much Korean shows and thinking too much of my friends.

I had this REALLY vivid dream.

It's like...one of my friend fell out of love. Then she started behaving weird...like she was so loose and all flirtatious and all. I couldn't stand it. I wanted to "protect" her. But I knew she was going to sleep around although she promised not to.

So I cried. Then I ended up hugging her to sleep so that she won't run away. But like somehow "She" transformed to a Man...and it was a HE that I was holding on to. BUT...I loved this other man (who happens to be on this same huge bed with another girl (his gf) and well...he happens to love me too! bwahaha...(how did i know? Our fingers touched, our eyes met and I felt "pain"

And well...eventually we couldn't get together. Yes, something happened to prevent the both of us from meeting and eloping...something to that effect. So we stayed with our respective "spouses"

Bizarre right?

I only knew that my whole body, heart and head ached when I woke up...

I'm weird.

Period.

Oh Yeah...

Admin work is tough.

Cos' alot of things u have to redo.
and update.
bind.
tear apart.
redo.

It's like forever not done.

Oh btw...I can't believe I was so dumb. To think that I was wrecking my brains to do translation when I could have used the Babelfish at Altavista to help me! I mean...it does literal translation then I reorganise...it'll be alot faster then me doing it from scratch. Only found out just.

And yeah...sorry for the excessive posting of the same message! What happened was there was supposed to be an error when I first post it. So of cos' I just kept RE-posting it. Bwahaha...turns out that I had to spend a good 30 mins trying to DELETE it just now.

Haha.

Hmm

My Supervisor left about half an hr ago. My BIG BIG boss just appeared out of no where but I seldom have direct contacts with her so it's ok. My big boss is still on MC and my boss just left for China earlier in the afternoon.

WOW. Bwahah...actually i'm left with one document to fax and that'll be the end of my day. My sup did say that I could sit by the fax machine to read or surf the net but the com there doesn't work so i just walk to and fro loh..not like the office is THAT huge anyways.

Done! Finally finished faxing all the applications over! I actually feel like i'm being Paid to loaf here somehow! Though I get gittery when othe colleagues walk to my back and use the photocopying machine...but basically I like my seat...others hardly bother me and I dun think they can see what i'm doing...unless there's a central com. controlling all networks...THEN i'm screwed big time. But till now...i'm rather happy!

Despite the fact that I was made to stay back till about 10:30pm last night to do last min. photocopying and binding and taging and what not...THOUGH I planned to actually go for my Aerobics lesson at the CC. near my place. It's been the 3rd consecutive week that i've missed it. To think that I came to office early yesterday so that I can knock off early...and I had to go through the turmoil of deciding if I should take a cab.

So this morn I came in at 7am...as I said, explored the pantry! (There's a pantry! fiddled with the fridge, microwave oven and toaster!) It's quite fun being all alone in the office!

It's about time to knock off and then i'll go off to meet PK, PJ and MM! Shopping once again! But about time...i really need some decent work clothes.

For the record

12:15 Go to Engine to da bao lunch with Zoe
12:55 Walked back to IRO
13:00 Ate at Meeting room
13:10 Finished my bowl of Shrimp noodles!
13:45 Came back to my work station after listening to the rest of the colleagues chit chat and talk cock in the room.

Honestly, I didn't think that I was eating so fast! I had the shock of my life when I saw the time really. Some more i was feeling really bloated and NOT hungry whilst I was buying my lunch cos' just before that at about 11am I ate a char siew bao plus a cup of teh-tarik coffee!

Oh my gosh...it's time I kicked my bad habit of gobbling down my food without chewing!!! Yes...i realised that I hardly chewed my food...

But my colleagues were really pretty funny! I mean...it was a great opportunity to sit in there and just laugh at what they say..never got the chance to see them like that. Now i know how come people take so long to come back from lunch. Actually they take their lunch pretty fast. It's just that they spend the rest of their time sitting in the Meeting room and relaxing, to be away from their work for a while.

Now i know. =)

Okie...shall update about my Sat, Sun (Good food and Harry Potter), my Mon (OT till 10:30pm) plus my bizarre dream later!

Madness

I must be crazy for i'm already in the office.

Yes...Think I'm mad. But last night I worked OT till about 10 something pm! And my supervisor did mention about coming in at 7am today...so I did. I took a cab down...which seems pointless at this point of time now...but well...it was a comfortable ride...STILL they BETTER reimburse my $12.

I mean, last night, there were 3 of us in the office. One had a "chauffeur". My sup took cab. But boss 1 said that she's not in charge of such claims...so she can't decide...but she did email boss 2 to request for taxi claims...so i was thinking...sigh...at night bus travel fast lah...besides, if they dun let me claim...i'll be like WORKING to pay for my own cab fare! Ain't that dumb? Some more I got bus concession so that's it lah. Waited a grueling 15 mins for bus.

Ok...think my sup is here! tata for now!

To cont my story!

I think I was saying abt my last min job at Cine. Btw...I stayed wif one of e girls till abt 1am. More abt e girls...one is 17, another 19. The girl who's 17 is currently not studying...but she's interested to learn "Mei Rong"- beauty and cosmetics...cool! Bwahaha...it's a booming industry!

The other 19-yr old is currently studying at a private school. She'll be taking her O levels soon. It's interesting to know such people really. And they're very nice people too! =)

Oh yeah...i stayed with her till so late cos' after we finally closed shop at abt 12:45...she wanted to smoke a cigarette...

The trip home was also very interesting. The taxi driver is pretty young I think. He works in the office in the day and drives the cab at night...amazing! So he sleeps a few hours per day. And well...her 67 yr old mother is also still working! We had quite a long chat cos' he started out asking me what I was doing at Cine so late. Somehow I can communicate to taxi drivers very well! Bwahaha...I remember the Edo times...

Today! Bwahaha...went to work at Far East! Managed to wake up and got there on time! This time round...there was another girl called Candy! She's very nice too! Couldn't tell that she's already 23! Very fun to be with!

And wow...the lunch was great today! I didn't feel like eating Hans (thought it was pretty ex) so I walked ard and chanced on this same shop...A HUGE chicken cutlet (which was pleasantly NOT oily, so it takes away the disappointment cos' I expected a chicken chop) Plus 2 slices of buttered toast with luncheon meat, loads of red beans and a fried egg for only $4.50! But I gobbled it down within like 15 mins cos i felt so uncomfortable eating behind the counter! like cos' never know when the customer will need anything...sigh...it's so wrong to eat so much so fast! Luckily I didn't eat much dinner except for 2 chicken slices and abit of red beans which SZ couldn't finish...(I bought the same set for the other 3 girls' dinner!)

AND...the best thing that happened to me today was my friends looking me up at Far East at 9 something!! =) Cuiling, Weiling, Joyce, Hefen, Wenxu and Ewan! It was so nice seeing them all! They hung ard to wait for me...and the boss was nice enough to let me off at 10 sharp! I mean...i dunno if that was a "good" sigh or not...still. Bwahaha...we walked around and finally settled in Shaw's Macs drinking lemon tea, water, coke lite with lemon and eating fries...and more importantly...chatting and LAUGHING abt old times!

We're a lucky bunch I feel. To have been through a long time together...to see one another grow...(fatter, slimmer or prettier...;P) To offer comfort and companionship...and to be able to go on trips overseas together! Those times were memorable! We laugh , we cry...I'm thankful I've got such friends.

Really. =)
