the week

Finally had a chance to blog, even for a short one.

I wanted to write something, had some thoughts just now. But at the thought of being so busy at work, I succumbed to the temptation of reading blogs that I checked out pretty often.

And after reading those blogs, I lost my thoughts.

I’m feeling tired, mentally. Ha.. To say that I love my job. I still do, but in the midst of rushing project, my brain had been at work everyday, weekends inclusive. Despite being on the badminton court, reading novel or playing MapleStory, the brain was still thinking of work. How and where should the logic go. =|

I’m deprived of brain-freedom now. Totally. Even mapling doesn’t help these days.

Gfs are busy with their work, while a good-cum-close gf starting to plan for her wedding next year.

Boo.

I need to catch up at work. Super steep learning curve I had, and still having. Learning and getting the project to work at the same time. 2 weeks behind schedule, how great.

Work life, I guess, is still under check, just need to buck up. Personal life wise, is in a real mess. Pressure from everywhere. Sigh.

Ahhh I hate it when the many thoughts can’t be brought out of the mind. Makes one feel terrible.

No idea why I keep losing my thoughts 🙁

Time for a break

You know it’s time for a break..

.. when you get nose bleed

.. when you have a running nose that sometimes is a blocked nose

.. when you get an occasional cough ‘coz it’s itchy

.. when you have your eyes half closed while at work

.. when you have an aching body

.. when all the above symtoms all happen at the same time

Down with a cold

Thanks to the Popeyes Chicken on Sat, my throat acted strangely on Sunday night.

Too busy on Monday to visit the doctor.

Finally I couldn’t stand the pain on Tues. Doctor didn’t want to give me MC despite giving me medicine that cause drowsiness?! I still requested for it anyway. Clever me popped by office to take the power adapter, ended up sitting at my workdesk working for almost 2 hours, until the medicine conked me out. I had no choice but to leave.

And clever me went to setup an appointment with SF. Hahahha. Waited an hr plus for her, another hour at the bank before our Sakae lunch at 3pm.

You got it. I was accused of chao-keng. Thanks Reenz.. lol

I reached home only at 6pm, feeling drained. Took medicine and plonked onto my bed, waking up only 13 hours later.

Darn, how come I felt worse than the day before?!

Another visit to the doc, another clinic this time. I must have an affinity with Dr Lim(s) this week, both my doctors have the same surname. Today’s doctor, Dr Lim CW is good. He was the doctor who attended to my wart request few months back, and he bothered to ask me today how was the wart. 😀

And yes, he forced me to rest by giving me MC. After explaining what I was down with. Common Cold. Which anti-biotics won’t help in curing it. (That explains why I didn’t get any antibiotics the day before too). Common Cold is a virus. Unfortunately, there isn’t any antiviral medicine around. So the best way to cure it, is to have enough rest. Let your body rest, and your body will fight against the virus.

Wow. Those were his exact words.

Thankfully, I slept through the whole afternoon, 5 hours of sleep after lunch. Feeling much better.

Just took another dosage of medicine (that’s like an hour ago, hoping it won’t act up before the show ends at 11), I can now feel the drowsiness coming.

I think as long as my brain has got something to do, I won’t feel drowsy easily. Maybe that’s why it took the medicine 1 hour this time round.

Busy (pun intended) yet mundane June

You must be wondering what that post about Pinkys is all about. Asked a friend to help me get from Japan, so it’s more for her reference. =D

So what have I been up to? Since my entries lately have been irregular, and makes no sense.

Been pretty busy, yet had a mundane lifestyle.

Kiro was in town on 8 June, for a conference by National Book Development Council. Rare chance for her to be here without her kid, so after a trip to Grouser’s biscuit shop, we made a trip to…

Despite hearing its name for quite sometime, it was my first visit. Main aim of the trip was because of the flea market, held there every first weekend of the month (I think).

Quite a few booths in the first part of the flea market, mostly accessories hand-made by the people. Photos will be up when Kiro uploads them.

Deeper into the room, were materials, not accessories, also hand-made.

Handmade bags

The above picture, handmade bags. Yeap they do not look interesting, neither do they look arty-farty, but they’re made from recycled paper. I was like, wow.. And there’s a limited-time warranty if you buy these bags.


Hand-made lamps


More bags


With a closeup. They’re made of recycled materials – those packages that are used to contain fabric softener. Smelt nice!


I’d always love miniatures. These are made from clay.

My favourite of the day. http://fabric-fun.blogspot.com

More photos @ red dot design museum at flickr.

2nd June, was an ex-colleague’s wedding. Congratulations to Charlie & wifey Yvonne! Can’t remember if photos were taken (since I never bring my camera), but will post if I get any! “A decade of love” was the theme of their wedding. They met each other through mIRC, got hitched together on 2nd June 1998. Wishing them many more decades of love!

21st June was Jazzle’s wedding. CONGRATS GAL!! Early ceremony @ Swissotel. Everyone was commenting that we don’t reach office that early (the hotel’s just a few steps away from our office). And my boss commented we should all wear so sweet everyday. *faints* Think everyday someone will puke seeing my fats buldging all over. HAHAHAHA :$ Photos will be up when I get hold of the group photos!

Had a mini birthday celebration for Jkai yesterday! Happy belated birthday bro! Yes we FINALLY took a group photo after so many years! LOL. Photos will be up when I transfer them to the laptop. And oh.. I think I’m getting better at playing pool. Can do with more practise. haha..

New look!

Post edit 27 June: I realise there are some bugs. Will fix when I’ve the time.

Spent a few days searching for nice themes to use. Shortlisted a few themes and finally decided on this!

Spent about an hr or so translating the error messages, which were in Spanish/French.

Spent another few hours getting the widgets up and running, inputing the celebrities’ urls (which are not part of the blogroll) etc.

And here it is!

Something bright and thankfully not sunny. Compared to the newspaper theme previously =)

Will there be a new outlook in life with a change in my blogskin? Hahaha..

Especially with a haircut and eyebrow trimmed, feeling refreshed.

More updates will be up, backdating all the way to 8 June, when I’m in the mood. All photos are in the work-laptop.

Meanwhile, stay tuned for the photos!

Obligations

You’re not obligated to do things just because you’re told to do it.

Neither are you obligated to continue as the VP just because everyone wants you to carry on.

I can see that you’re very tired, given the current family situation that you’re in.

Though there are many matters that I do not agree with you, we’re right in our own ways.

If you decide to carry on, then you’ll have to hang on there. I know you still have an undying passion for the school.

An advert in Thailand by Smart Purse

If you don’t understand Thai..

The first time the guy bought the hotdogs, the lady said all for 40baht.
The next time he went, it cost 120baht. The lady said “Your card has ran out of money.” *sad look on the guy & the dog’s face* “But you can use a point from a card to buy them.” *grinz*

Baby Calista in office

My boss aka Vince brought Baby Calista to office! She has grown so much!

My first attempt at taking her photo.. No idea why she was frowning.

And this was a better take. See how cheeky she was.

Pardon the lousy quality. Taken with my phone in a not-so-good lighting.

So sweet..

This is a good marketing tactic way of promoting racial harmony!

Tan Hong Ming! You simply rawks!

His expression is PRICELESS

The last frame of Malay words with no translation, means “the kids understand it”.
