Tons of things I want to write about, but I’ve not been in the mood for blogging for ages.

Plurk has invaded my life. Made many new friends, met up for dinners and photoshoot sessions.. Sparks flew somewhere but didn’t last long.

Been busy with work. Been doing OT for the past 6 weeks, and many more to go. Applied for leave but had to cancel them due to work overload.

I’ve overdue drafts since the company’s retreat, which was 3 months ago. Had no time to edit those photos. Argh.

And I got myself a new laptop, which hasn’t been personalised yet, coz I’d been bringing the work-laptop home almost every day.

Back from Henry’s wedding. No girls from the class went, I’m the representative as usual. Thanks guys for reminding me what you all did when we were still in sec 1. Seriously I’ll never forget that. Hahahhaha

Time for a break. The eye’s irritating me again. I think it’s the contact lens. 🙁 I must visit the optician tomorrow.

Lost my phone last fri, bought new phone ytd, won a phone today. Will I get back my old phone this xmas?

Despite reaching late.. I had a good time at the photoshoot! Great company, great jokes.

The many laughter are a rare find, given that most of us know one another online.

Thanks guys & gals for the fun this afternoon!

Can’t wait for the calendar to be published!

Post edit: photos from the shoot won’t be released before the calendar is out. So I guess we’ve got to wait till end of the month.

Many thanks to PatLaw & willyfoo for the idea and LiveStudios for the venue!

Sigh.. I’m feeling damn sad now. Lost without my phone, though my phone seldom rings.

Took cab home. Driver was a little bit impatient at the traffic light at office area (supposed to turn right) and he turned left, taking the route along Nicoll Highway to KPE to PIE. I got a pissed coz he was going one big round. Took out my phone to plurk. (thankfully thou, he stopped the metre way before we reached my house).

And yours truly left the phone on her lap after plurking.

When I alighted, I heard a thud sound actually. Checked the cab, saw nothing, and I closed the door. Few steps away, I felt something amiss. Checked my hand – no phone. Quickly checked my bag – no phone. SHIT! Turned back, tried to catch the driver’s attention before he drives away. Too late. Without much thinking, I quickly made my way home, got my mum to call my mobile.

Called taxi HQ, reported cab number, while trying to call my mobile at the same time.

Stood by the kitchen window. Then! I saw something shiny on the road (carpark)! Asked my sis if she can do me a favour. Think she was tired from her camp, she didn’t actually reply me. So I thought nvm..

Just then, a white van drove over to where the shiny object is. Driver alighted, picked it up and drove to the other side of the carpark and parked. (I could see from my kitchen window) And at this time, I saw the taxi driver drove in and starting to search the cab.

Yes! Someone answered the phone! Happily asked my brother to run to the van while I try to stall the person who took the phone. But the person didn’t speak! Blardy hell! I was so anxious already and you don’t want to say anything?!?!

Just as my brother reached first floor, the van driver drove off! WTF! Subsequet calls were not answered. wah kao!!!!

Just at this time, the taxi HQ called back and say the driver couldn’t find the phone. I felt so pai seh! Coz after hanging up the phone, the taxi driver still searched a few more times! I went downstairs wanting to thank him, but he drove off just as I reached first floor.

Sigh. I dunno if I should be happy or sad. Had been complaining over the past few days about my phone. Contemplating if I should sell it off and buy another one instead. Just “nice” I drop it? Argh!

My phone is just 1 mth old! Bought it on 3rd Nov only! =(

Stressed out. At work. Feeling overwhelmed with the many tasks on hand.

I tell myself I can do it. Yes I can!

And my foot, is in intense pain again. Either I had to walk slowly, or limp. If I was seen walking around normally, I was just putting up a strong front. Decided to see the doc again tomorrow morning. I swear I didn’t feel the most pain in the morning! That was initially, when I visited the doc last month. But now, it just go into pain anytime of the day! &^*(@^#*(!@&!

The sky looked so promising as I sat by the window, plurking away on my laptop.

Until I hear a sudden downpour.

SHYT! My clothes are outside!

In the attempt to save the clothes, I ran to the kitchen. Knocked the toe against the door ledge, held on to the dining chair for support, skipped (hopped) a few steps. Thought I managed to balance myself. Alas! I fell, and the dining chair fell with me.

And my first instinct was to check if the toe was bleeding. As expected. I saw blood.

(After taking the clothes in) Washed the wound, walked back to the room like nothing happened.

I thought things are fine. No pain anyway.

As I made another trip to the kitchen to get myself some water, I felt something wrong.

The wound on the toe wasn’t in pain, but the nerve connecting to it was! All the way to the knee! Gosh! WHAT’S HAPPENING!

Slightly swollen toe. =(

The pain was gone during dinner time. Thankfully.

But I felt another kind of pain. The kind of pain you get when you have blue-blacks.

And I can’t bend the toe.

Sigh.

I’ve made the first step. Making this blog a part of ping.sg.

Starting to wonder how geeky will I get? I’m like the only one in my dept who blogs? Though not the only one in the company.

Sometimes I wonder too.. how long will this internet craze last? I’ve had interest in internet since secondary school days, but no interest in blogging until 2003, despite having a diploma in Internet Computing. Such an irony. I remembered started blogging when I started reading Grouser’s blog. Got influenced by her to start blogging. And, yes u got it, not long after, I got myself this domain. But the only thing I do with it, is blogging (with 3 urls thus far).

Currently working in a digital agency, means my job scope is so digital that my babies are published on the internet. Sometimes work has gotten me so tired of the internet that I don’t feel like blogging (but I still LOVE reading blogs).

I’ve not been a fan of publishing my blog to public – this blog has been kept private from search engines since day 1. With the move to publish it on ping.sg, I wonder how different it can be. More people have access to this blog now, be it via search engine or via ping.sg, does that mean my blog content has to be changed?

Shall see how it goes. When there comes a day I want to hide away from too much publicity..
