Hello & Goodbye

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve updated my sidebar with links to my photo albums (Picasa web albums via Google Plus) and my new Tumblr blog! It serves the purpose of uploading quick posts and I reckon would be a great place for me to track my Outfit of the Day photos (it takes enormous efforts to do so on WordPress somehow) and also random quotes. Check my tumblr out!

I have been granted a week’s break from my new boss but it’s funny how I wake up at 8 plus on most days – either awoken by my sister’s alarm clock or a need to drive the Bf to work. I guess it is good this way for I feel more fulfilled that I’ve gotten some things done on my to-do list.

Now – sleep is eluding me. it all boils to a cup of coffee – caffeine and I just don’t go well together. i hate it whenever it gives me sleepless nights like this, when your body craves sleep but your mind is in all places but dreamland.

I have always been a good sleeper – ie I can sleep anywhere, well almost anytime. what I dislike most though is when I am the last person to fall asleep. i also realized last night when the BF took an early night (for once) how much I hated it when he sleeps earlier than me. believe me, I actually felt kinda sad and lonely. it means I can’t call him and ka jiao him before I sleep.

see what caffeine does to me. blogging such a lame post. argh. I wanna see you zhou gong!!

One random post coming up:

1. I hope it is not too late for new year resolutions but I have 2 that I am hoping to keep and they are really simple things a) Opening my mails – you wouldn’t believe how disorganised I can be at home. Last year, my stack of unopened mails was maybe higher than an Oxford dictionary. I only cleared it in my annual spring clean for CNY, I had a cheque for 700 bucks that I failed to cash out because of my tardiness. Geez. So a very simple resolution – to be prompt in opening my mails.

b) Always have cash in my wallet. Btham said something last year that jolted me to my senses, she asked why I always don’t have enough cash when I go out with them and I realised how true that is and my wallet is always empty. It’s not that I am broke but just super lazy to withdraw money. It’s just a tad sad to have to see my bank account dip just that slightly each time I withdraw money – heh. So yes, I will aim to always have at least $XXX cash in my wallet.

2. I recently purchased Johnson&Johnsons lotion for night - “Melting Away Stress” - and I must say, it is really effective. I like to think it is resulting in my deep and restful sleep each night but I’ve recommended it to my sister who claims otherwise =( It smells really good and is very calming (at least to me) - not sure if it is just psychological or a placebo effect so I’ve read some reviews online and it works on others too!

3. So looking forward to the one week’s break next week. My sweet new  boss called and asked if I wanted one week off and I was like “Yeah!!!” I don’t have much planned since it came at such short notice but definitely going to run all those errands I never had time to or procrastinated:

- Getting that Burberry bag we dug out from our mom’s old wardrobe to be refurbished (we finally spring cleaned and cleared most of the stuff)

- Going to the tailor to alter all those online bad buys

- Rebonding my hair – undecided but am about 80% sure I would do it

- Rest and Relax

- High tea on a weekday

I just need to find the right kakis for some other activities too!

4. My last day is on Friday! They have been so nice about me leaving and I really hope that there’s no hard feelings. I’m now tying up the loose ends and finishing up some of the projects that I was working on but generally nothing much to do. I guess I want them to know that I would work till the last hour, finish whatever I have been given and will definitely put in my best and be professional.

5. 2 news of proposal recently – Spongebob proposed to WY (it was quite expected given their flat purchase) and the BF’s bro to his GF in a dramatic ra-ra way onstage at Boiler – I would have been so embarrassed but it was a very sweet moment captured and posted on FB – nice! I just want to say to the BF - No pressure!! take your time, I don’t want the outwardly pressure to affect you or us in any way okay?

This was Me an hour ago…

1. Holding on to the umbrella for dear life
2. Feet swimming in two pools of water 
3. Getting splashed with dirty roadside water by a lorry as it rode over a puddle while I was walking on the sidewalk
4. Pathetic sight on the bus with unkempt hair, squishy shoes and wet skirt
5. Giving dagger stares to the lady on the “reserved” seat - there was a pregnant lady standing in front of her! She looked to the other side
6. Inching away from the man with the raised pits above my head - there is a pole in front of you dammit.  
7. Anxious over her unpaid credit card bill – damn wonder what’s the damage, will they accept her request for waiver? Damn, damn, damn.

What a start to the day. The only happy thing – I decided to ditch the diet plan and got myself a Polar Curry Puff. Yummy!

Hello, it has been such a long time since I’ve written a proper entry. I think it was quite a record clocking in only 6 entries last month. There were many a times whereby I left this page on my dashboard at work but never having the drive to actually sit down and pen and churn out posts of random snippets. It used to be so easy writing out my thoughts, doing up nice collages, feeling all anal about alignments and being embarrassed about my grammatical errors. I have no idea what happened, maybe work got more hectic – but that is a story for another day. Maybe there is just no reason for this sudden dis-interest in all these blogging business.

Whatever it is. I know I will be back. It is just a slight hiatus as with previous hiatus. Don’t abandon me and my tiny little space. We will miss you.

The collaging and the uploading took longer than expected – but of course there were the other necessary distractions – the evil facebook and all related stalking/games/stalking/games and msn – to keep me away from this blogging page. Anyhow, the photos collages are already stored and saved. Definitely be back sooner rather than later to blog more about my rather happening (for my standard) January =)

Goody-nite-y world!

I’m having butterflies in my tummy. It wouldn’t go away. I think I know the real source of it. Please just go away. My feet and hands are beginning to water. Argh.

That, plus, I think I just drank water sprayed with perfume = (

I used to think – “Oh, if its put to better use for someone else rather than it sitting in the bank then why not?”

I was expecting some kind of reaction actually, I am after all the one who had the kind intentions but it has been months and there has only been a few correspondences and that was it. I am hoping that the latest initiation (by me, mind you) would have some response. We’ll see.

I don’t expect full repayment but I guess if we can work out some kind of deal, that’ll be great. A realization dawned that it is now or never – if I let the year past without making any noise I may never get it back and would have paid for more than I asked for.

Kindness should be reserved for true and real friends only?
