Weekend!

The weekend has been rather uneventful and boring I'd say. I was working on Saturday and needed to go to a site for an inspection. Lucky for me the client is passable-y cute but he's with his wife. Touché. Though even if he's not with his wife, I won't want to risk my professionalism over a few flirts.

Later that evening, I went to look at the house I won through auction. It's actually my dad who used my name to bought it. So, no major property ownership for me, yet. Anyway, the house look rather trashy and dusty and ...... yeah just trashy and dusty. It's going to need a new coat of paint and maybe a little repairs here and there. Oh did I also mentioned that the weather during that time was fucking hot? I felt like I'm going to die out of heat!

On Sunday nothing happened except that I went for a facial. Got to spend the discounted voucher before it expires. And God my face was a mess! Got many of those "biji-biji" that the beautician managed to dig out. I think that was the most "biji-biji" I have ever seen on my face being dig out. Nearly filled the entire cotton pad! Guess more facials needed but I have to sort out my budget first. Just bought some of their beauty supplements and my wallet is crying. Let's hope this time it works.

I was stalking someone on facebook and somehow the comments spurred something in me.

Just a random question: Can you find a friend - not an acquaintance or colleague or etc -  at work?

I mean here at my workplace, there are 6 of us not including my boss. 3 males and 3 females. I don't reallay have any issues with my male counterparts, partly because one of them is pretty quiet at the office and the other one, well we are not really that friendly but we are on good terms, at least for now.

The females on the other hand are let's just say a pain in the ass. I have a two face, a whore and a fence sitter. That two face will only be close to me if she has an agenda. I think cannot call her two face lah. Have to call her multiple face! Want to slap also don't know which face to slap first. That whore, well, she's a whore. Always complaint here, complaint there. Once she even tried to outdo me as one of the officers in the office. Her position is lower than me for the record. She at times pretended like she's the boss of the company. The fence sitter, well no need to talk about her lah. She's a fence sitter maaa. She goes to which she thinks benefits her the most.

Me on the other hand, I really don't want to be involved in their games (because I believed that I am of much higher class, lols!) I mean why make them an issue when they are not matters in my life. But it gets lonely in the workplace without any one to talk to. No one to bitch around. No one to have fun with. *sigh*

They say make connections. Build your network if you want to succeed in your career. But I really don't know how to do lah. Some said just go to their office and have a talk lah. Can you do that? I mean just crash someone's office and have a chat with them? Won't I be disturbing their work? I somehow at a loss how to build my network. Not helping when you are considered as young and the others are older than me. *sigh*

Back to that facebook comment. It seems like that person is on good terms with that person's office mates. I mean they can bitch together, go out together and do stuffs other than work together. I really, really wish I can have that kind of relationship with my work mates.

Or maybe because that person and I have a different type of workplace. Mine is small. That person is big. Mine is like the company haven't hired anyone before me like for a very long time. So, these people in my office are together for so long!

*sigh*

I think this is the end of my ranting. For now at least.

This is a ranting post. The longest one I've rant so far. You've been warned ...

*********************************************************************************

I can't believe this. I've been MIA for a very long time. Not only MIA in blogging, but also blog reading. Haven't really had a time to do these things as well, some parts of my life has changed right now. So need to adapt which results in some things being left unattended. Heck, for a person who like to prettify myself, put skincare products, dress nicely, take sometime to do hair, I've been a complete mess these days. It's been weeks since I put products on my face, take long hot showers, dress up, do my hair. Nowadays, I even wear a non-iron-shirt-looking shirt to work, wore an ugly tee with a hole on it to town (not exactly my fault because I didn't realise there was a hole there) and my hair, urrgghhhh, I think it has an ugly life of its own! I'm not even sure how I smell anymore. I mean I did bathe but not as meticulous as before and I didn't spray on myself some perfume. *sigh* I wonder how can anyone who is in this situation managed to make themselves look hot and pretty everyday? I'm like in a mess! My life is a mess! *sigh* I promised myself day and day I need to change. That I missed my old routine. That I missed my old self. But I don't know how to start. If I start one thing then I won't have time for another which led to more abandoning routine. I'm not exactly a good time manager but I guess this time I need to learn how. I need to so that I won't keep looking like a mess and worst, ugly!

*********************************************************************************

If only there's more than 24 hours in a day. I need a game plan. I don't want to live in an ugly, boring, messy life anymore. I need to allocate time for all the routines that I need to do. But that comes with a cost - my beauty sleep ..... That is my most weakness ever! If I don't have enough sleep I'll be cranky and easily irritated. I need more than 24 hours a day!!!!!!!!!

Naked (pallette)

I am feeling ever so ..... naked right now :(

Needed to do some house chores this morning before I go to work.

Before I knew it, time has passed and I was really, really, really late for work.

Took a quick shower and put on my clothes.

Didn't even have time to prettify myself (Aiden! Pinjam wording Peanut!)

That's why I'm feeling ever so naked and ever so unglam and ever so ugly T.T

Of weddig, bestie and annoying bf

This evening something pissed me off. Like really pissed me off.

I went to a wedding invitation of a high school friend of mine. Planned to go with my bestie but she needs to go to another invitation first. So, she asked her bf to go with her with him fetching her at 2 o'clock and I'm supposed to meet them at 3 o'clock. At 3 o'clock I arrived ad called her. She said she'll be late. Knowing her, I thought she'll only be around 5 minutes late. Little did I wonder she's late for 1 freaking hour! I was about to leave as I was very annoyed! (I know I shouldn't have waited for a whole 1 hour but bestie maa .. I trust her lah).

She was very apologetic as I presumed she'd be. I was mad but I was even mad at her bf because I'm very sure that it was him that was late. I thought the incident ends at that. Who knows the bf made even more annoying incidents.

Oh before I go further, let it be know that I suspected that her bf is actually gay. Or maybe he's bi.

1. He wasn't actually invited to the wedding. He went there as my bestie's bf. What ticks me off is that he brought two boys with him! The boys were like around 11 to 13 years of age. He claimed that they were his adik angkat. Now we all know if you are gay, adik angkat can means a whole lot of different meaning. Though I think they were a little too young to become toy boys. And even if I gave him benefit of the doubt, that I really do believe that they are his adik angkat with no sexual agenda in it, do you really have to bring them anywhere you go? Up to the point where you are going out with your girlfriend?
2. He's very anti-social! He did not interact with his gf friends at all! The only people he interact with is his adik angkat. He listens to their every whim like a slave listens to his master! I mean at that time I was like "Are you going out with my bestie or with your adik angkat?"

End up I was so annoyed and mad that I went straight back home after. 

If he really wants to turn straight, he needs to step up his game because if he continues what he's doing, he's only going to hurt my bestie. Right now, I only pray that whoever my bestie is going to marry, that man is going to treat her right and will never hurt her. Much better he's really sincere in wanting to marry her and not just wishing to marry just to turn straight. 

Clean House

So, what can be constitute as clean?

Nicely arranged items? Sparkling items? Smooth flooring? No dust, cobwebs or anything that is related of that?

What if it's a wooden, kampung house? Is it acceptable that items are not arranged carefully, they are not sparkly? There's no dust or rubbish or any kind of that but there's some feeling in the air that just didn't feel right.

Or perhaps it was because they way I grow up. I am a city boy after all. So, perhaps the way I perceived as clean is not the same as theirs?

But their children have all become city kids now. Don't they have a sense to clean their kampung house?

I'm perplexed.

Or is it because I just simply hate going back there that I criticize everything?

If you really wish to be MY boss, go ahead and ask for the key to the room. I have them. I'll only do what you ask only after you become my boss. Until then, it's HELL TO THE NO!

Rant

I always heard of how people have a different perspective when they know that you are an overseas graduate but I never experience it myself first hand.

I was attending a customer - a husband and a wife - and before they leave, I hand over my card to them. They read it and exclaim proudly, "You are from XXX in Australia?" The wife asked furthermore, "XXX in XXXXX?" I nodded. And that's when I saw it.

It turns out that their children are in Australia too, studying together at a different state. Their eyes showed these proud sparkles when we talk. They seem to have these impressions that I am good at what I do - just because I am an overseas graduate. And somehow there are flickers in their eyes, hoping that their children will turn out as good as I am.

That got me thinking. Perhaps this is how my parents feel whenever they talked about me to their friends. Like this hope and trusts that I will be great. The pride and all.

But I am not sure whether I really do make them proud ...

I got a call from the optometry this evening, just after I finished work to inform me that my glasses are ready. Then suddenly, I got this gan cheong feeling. Like did I do the eye test correctly? I mean did I tell him of the problems and all that? Did I read the alphabets correctly? Did I inform him of everything that I saw? Cause like it has been a pretty busy and tired week last week so I was scared whether that would give affect on the results of the eye test. But it's like they did the tests 2 times - one with computer and another one manually. So, everything should be okay, right? They said that my prescription basically remains the same, only the angle of focus has changed. Something like that lah. In my mind I keep thinking whether I screw the test or not.

*sigh*

Maybe I'm still too tired and I keep forcing my body to cope. That's why all the gan cheong-ness. I don't know. I can't change anything now, can I? I mean the glasses are ready. Cannot change anymore lah kan?

Weatherman ....

The weather has been rather unforgiving.

It was so hot and the heat was unbearable!

You can still feel the heat at night!

For the past few weeks, air-cond has been my best friend. I blast it to the coldest temperature every time I sleep without even thinking of the bills.

But for these past few days, big bro is down with fever. So, no air-cond for me :(

But tomorrow he's back to his working place and I'll have the room for myself once more! Yeay for air-cond! And I think I'll put the air-cond in the office to its maximum capacity tomorrow :)

I just received a sad news. A hunky friend of mine (more like a crush of mine =P) was admitted to a hospital. The diagnosis was that he suffered a mini stroke and the cause was unknown. A small part of bis brain is permanently damaged and it could take months for him to recover or he may not even recover from his symptoms.

This really makes me think twice of the way I lead my life. He's a very fit person. He went to gym/ exercise 4 to 5 times a week, eat healthily, he don't smoke nor drink. Heck he even count his every calorie, sugar and fat in his every meal.  If a person who leads his life like this can get a stroke, I can't even think of what could happen to me. I never exercise. I eat all kinds of food. I sleep way too much.  Basically, a potato couch and also a magnet for all kinds of sickness.

Perhaps it's time to change. Not perhaps. IT IS THE TIME TO CHANGE!

Sejuuuukkkkkkkkkkkk

New aircond in the office.

Me likey!

Old aircond rosak already. Tak sejuk pun.

Now, I'm feeling like I'm in a bank =)


P.S. Banks always have the coldest aircond. That's the reason for comparison =))
P.P.S. I'm sleepy ............ Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Of Kerja and Cantik

It's been quite some time since I blog.

Workload is increasing and no, I'm not complaining. I like having my workload increased. After having quite some time of slow paced working aka no cases on hand aka makan gaji buta, this past few weeks has been making me go for inspections, go to Land Office, meet clients etc. I don't say it often but during this time, I really love my job =)

On another note, just last week the dermatologist for the skin care that I'm using, flew from US to this small town here. So, I took the opportunity for him, a real dermatologist, and not a therapist which I frequent, to check my skin. Result? Meh, same old, same old. My skin is way too oily. Quoting his words, "Your skin is too, too, too, too, too, too, too oily!" He suspects its something to do with what I eat. So, he said no more chocolates, biscuits (does chips count?), milo, chicken skin, peanuts and seafood for me. He said these are the things that can cause oily skin. I can skip the milo, the chicken skin (this is hard!), the peanuts, the biscuits, but chocolate and seafood? Alamak!! 

He prescribed me some more products but he specifically said that I need to get my internal problem fix first. Or else the products he prescribed is not going to do any work. But luckily, the therapist understands that I am having quite a tight budget. She advised me to prioritise the detox drink first, only then buy the external products. So, that is going to be included in June/ July budget? For the time being, I'll stick to my detox supplement that I got from Shaklee, along with my other supplements from Amway. And also to stop eating all the stuff that's making my skin oily. 

So, that's juts about it. All the 'interesting' events ever since I'm resting for a while from blogging. =)

Started Atkins diet/ high protein diet early this week. Not too sure whether it's due to the weather, but I've been having headache in the afternoon and evening every single day.. 

Headache... (-.-)

One Evil Antagonist Is Messing My Mind

Read a review about a Korean Drama with a very evil antagonist doing things that is unimaginable and it ruins my mood all over. I have no idea why most of the time I cringe when there's conflict in a drama up to a point where I will not watch that particular scene. So far, none has any effect to my mood except for this one antagonist.

Which makes me thinking. Is there such a person in this world? I wish I won't encounter any of them in my whole life....
