I know I just have to get out of Sg for a while even if it means just a few days. Finally booked my air tickets to BKK seeing that there’s a promo on Jetstar. However, it is in November, meaning I have to endure for at least 5 more months... =( Perhaps I will plan for another short getaway to M’sia such as Genting during these 5 months.

Have an argument with him again last night due to financial planning issues.. well it seems like he wasn’t at the stage of planning yet. He told me he will settle all issues by himself, and don’t like others to plan for him. I recalled something I read in the book on “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”: that men need trust and approval, they do not like to be asked and taught what to do. How true that is, and applicable to him. Well, to me, I just wanted security and by instinct, I will expect good financial planning by him. But he’s a poor planner.. as I can see how he manages his life and finances. Sent a few hurting sms to him before retiring to bed. That’s me, as I still couldn’t handle my emotions well.. During the last few mins before I proceeded to Dreamland, I thought of some incidents last weekend that he has changed his attitude: 1) how he had fought with me when I wanted to watch my show when he was watching a Wrestling match… In the end, I gave up to him and he switched to a movie channel in SCV. And I told him that show sucks and he ignored me. In the past, he will give in to me. 2) And when we had dinner at the Bt Timah Market, I told him the person got my order wrong, and he treated as if nothing has happened. And I was forced to eat the plate of pasta with bacon instead of mushroom, as I was also not in the mood of going back to change. In the past, he will ask me whether I wanted to change that plate, and usually when there are spring onions or coriander leaves in the dish, he will scoop it out for me, knowing I don’t like them.. And so now I will give him the benefit of the doubt, by thinking he’s too weary from work that he’s rather short tempered lately, and tired emotionally and physically. This morning, he sent me sms “good morning” without mentioning of those sms-es I sent last night.

"..." Awakened this morning by some people in the family. It was a heated argument which I seldom experienced nowadays. But recently Sis moved back with us and she has always been hot-tempered, and I guess she couldn’t see eye to eye with him. For Mum and myself, we just don’t care what he said/does already. Deep inside, I have given up on him, and I know Mum does as well. Peeked at the alarm clock, and realized it’s 6 plus already. Can’t they just spend some thought to those who are working, and tone it down? Sent sms to Der as he was already awake. He was surprised that I woke up so early and called me. I told him briefly what happened as I was sleepy. He told me to go back to sleep. But I couldn’t get back to sleep and kept tossing about. *Sighz*


Nothing seems to go right at work nowadays. I think it’s myself as i’m getting very tired of working in this company. Or perhaps I’m weary of working already.

I’m thinking of going eyebrow embroidery soon, maybe June after I get my paycheck.

As usual, dragged myself to work this morning. It was a nice day to sleep in, very cooling and very comfy in my bed. Had wanted to take a short nap as usual in the bus however was disturbed by two gals who were sitting right behind me, and were practically yakking loudly all the way till they got down. One of the gals’ voice was exceptionally loud, which I find it difficult to doze off.

Met up with my university mates for dinner @ Outback Steakhouse, Millenia Walk last Sat. I ordered Outback Steak with Mashed Potato as my side. However, I feel that it wasn’t as nice as I thought. The meat is rather tough despite it was just medium rare.. and there were potato skin in the mashed potato. Perhaps it was to enhance the taste but I didn’t fancy that.

Anyway we had a quick chat over dinner, realized some of them are doing well in their jobs, unlike me. I am still struggling to make ends meet with my meager pay. Moreover, I am still deciding whether to make Marcom as my lifetime career.. even now in this current job, I am doing more in F&B and wedding menus, and doesn’t really involve much in Marcom. I feel like I am wasting my life away in this current co. Actually I prefer to do something more in-depth Marketing such as analyst, strategist or researcher. I wonder whether I would get to be in that position. I am not a lucky person, to begin with. As you can see, my friends are all doing well than me. I do not mind doing extra to earn more money. In this stage in my life, money is the most important. Why? Because I am the sole breadwinner in the family. And I needed extra money for shopping and to get a CC to make online purchases and installments.

Well.. back to our short gathering, we went to Coffee Club @ Marina Sq for some drinks. Got Jo a slice of blueberry cheesecake as a surprise for her upcoming birthday. Sadly she doesn’t really like the cake. For me, I would prefer oreo cheesecake though.. haha . And she paid for our drinks and the cake. So this doesn’t count a celebration ba.. Haiz... It was really great to see them all again. Time flies, counting the number of times that I’ve celebrated my birthday with them (after leaving uni), this coming birthday will be the third time, meaning that we have kept in contact for 3 years. Yet, I have this feeling that we are all hiding things from one another. It is really difficult to get all to open up, especially ZX and WK. Anyway I hope this monthly ritual will continue as long as possible.. hee..

Jo's Birthday 2007

Bought some stuffs from ON again. I wanted to get some stuffs from F21 & VS but their stuffs are rather exp, which I can’t afford right now! =(

~+~+~+~+~+~

Envy friends such as PL, Joyce and Jo etc as they have colleagues whom they can mingle well with. They go out together after work hours and can chat about anything under the sun. As for me, I rather miss my ex-colleagues in my ex-company. I clicked well with them, but time with them was short. In fact, ALL of them has moved on to greener pastures, and we somehow stopped contacting one another. Maybe that’s what called ‘Fate’. It has decided how many acquaintances and friends we have in our lifetime. I remember one acquaintance, she contacted me only when she needed help, she will sms ‘do you have any job recommendations?’

My current colleagues are nice people however, they have their own family and will not go out together after work for shopping or to have a meal. It was like the norm, everyone doing their work during working hours and going home on the dot. I find it too quiet sometimes during working hours, that I find myself dozing off any moment. And during off peak periods, like now, I’m so free, doing nothing. It’s too much of an extreme. During peak periods, I will be so busy that I have to reach office earlier to do my work. And what are the downsides of this company? No internet at our workstation, no personal emails, no music, uniforms and shoes. So I’m on the lookout again. I can’t stand such life anymore.

Haven’t got the time and energy to blog. Been down with a virus.. Monday after lunch vomited 4 times and diarrhea at night.. Went to see doc on Tues and got slightly better but today my stomach’s a bit uncomfy, got gas and wind. Even I ate medicine, but to no avail. My stomach has always been weak. Can’t eat too spicy stuff, and I always have constipation, makes my stomach very bloated and thus uncomfy. My health getting worse.. I just fell sick last month..

I didn’t mention that my company dinner was held last week at one of our restaurants. The event did not go as well as what we had planned. Anyway, the only good things were the food and the prize I got.. I believe I am already quite lucky liao, compared to others who didn’t won) though the prize is not a lot. But I like this company policy, that even those who didn’t won also got consolation prizes..






My loots from ON arrived.. quite disappointed.. but oh well..

Caught Spidey 3 with Der 2 weeks back.. very nice.. would give it 4/5. The only thing I don’t understand is that why the Sandman suddenly became remorseful and gave Spidey an explanation towards the end of the show??

On that Sunday, went to Pulau Ubin with him, his bro & friends. It was a last min thingy.. but it was real fun.. all of us rented bicycles and i realised that the roads were not that bumpy after all and the slopes are alright for me as well.. prob i haven't got to the difficult part yet.. i love the boat ride to the island the best.. haha.. i hope to go there again soon..

Oh my, this week seems to be crawling.. i've been too free at work liaoz...
